If you like watching drummers thebishman here's the man that I gained almost all my knowledge of percussion from. You'll need to forgive him a couple of errors due to the addition of alcohol during the course of the day and Janice's fat arse almost blanking out the whole show half way through

I think you would like this as well mr striker42

Picking 3 bands never mind 3 songs is near impossible but today's mood has me listening to these 3 songs.

[BrenD]

This is a tough one for me as music is just about the only thing that keeps me relatively sane. If I did have favourites, they'd change by the hour let alone day, so after much thought I've come up with a few ways of tackling this...

The songs I've (probably!) listened to more than any others.

The ones I keep coming back to and would be lost without. Songs I think i know like the back of my hand, but every so often I'll notice something new lurking in the background.

Elvis Costello - I Want You


I can still remember hearing this for the first time, it really didn't catch my attention until the end of the verse, if you can call it that. I'm not going to spoil it if the track is new to you, but the ten seconds or so from 0:45 are amazing. A beautiful but absolutely brutal track.


Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over


Another song I can vividly remember hearing for the first time, but this one had me hooked before the vocal came in. I thought Grace was a bit meh until Lover... kicked in and I suddenly 'got' it and Jeff. It's one of the albums I listen to to reset. A dark room, some semi-decent headphones and a copy of Grace will snap me out of the worst of moods.


Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy


I'll know my time is up when this fails to make pretty much my entire body tingle. Thousands of listens in and it still hits me like no other track has managed since. Gun to my head, my favourite song and one of the best vocals of all time in my not so humble.

[BrenD]

Bands or artists I've seen live a lot of times is also a pretty good way to establish favourites. Most of my money gets spent on going to gigs, live music is a stronger addiction for me than nicotine.

Kinda feels harsh on the likes of Kate Bush, Pulp and the classic Fleetwood Mac line-up, all of whom I'd go and see again without hesitation but will have to make do with being lucky enough to see once.

Frank Turner


If I count seeing him support blink-182 a few summer's ago, I think I've seen Frank live 11 times, possibly 12, I lose track. From him playing solo acoustic shows for a few hundred people to he and the Sleeping Souls smashing Wembley Arena with all sorts of venues inbetween.

The figure should be much higher, there are a couple of tours I still kick myself for missing. He always picks amazing support acts too, I've got into lots of bands through seeing them at a Frank gig. Oh and his cover of Thunder Road made me finally see what the fuss was about with Springsteen, so he was my gateway to The Boss.

Long Live The Queen was the first song of his I heard. I used to listen to Zane Lowe's R1 show religiously and can still remember sitting at work crying my eyes out after he played it. I rushed home and downloaded Love Ire & Song not knowing that I'd found an artist who was going to be quite so important to me.

Muse


I think I've seen Muse six times, Wembley Stadium twice, The o2 twice and Stade de France on two consecutive evenings, which was an awesome little trip. Of course I'll be at the London Stadium in a few weeks for another fix!

I don't spend as much time listening to their albums as I do Frank, but they are bloody amazing live.

I think I'm somewhere in the crowd on that video, having a bit of a moment, my little mind being blown by getting to hear them play a song I never thought I'd get to hear live.


blur


I've only seen blur four times, three big Hyde Park shows and a warm up they did for one of them in Plymouth. I say only, I didn't think I'd ever get to see them having missed out in the 90s.

Easily one of my favourite bands and instrumental in shaping my taste in music. When they decide to play live again, I'll be there.

I'm definitely in the crowd for this one, the show they played to mark the close of the 2012 Olympics is definitely in my top 5 concerts of all time, I'd probably only put Kate Bush and Springsteen above it.



I'll give you all a break now, I'm still a song short for my third idea.

Today's favourite three pieces of music?

OK. First, though, a bit of story to explain the apparent offbeat assortment. I've been going thro our music collection after sorting a few network issues out. Lots and lots of CDs and even a bunch of LPs!. I can now stream full original quality music from my always-on puter thro to play on the lounge room sound gear. I have been recently re-ripping all my stuff from lossy MP3s to lossless Flacs - 'cos they sound better. So that means I've encountered a lot of very old stuff I had long forgotten about. Tis now getting another run in my listening room. Queen, George Thorogood, Meatloaf, Pink Floyd and such - the stuff of my youth. (I'm hiding away the very unhealthy volume of David Bowie stuff SWMBO has hoarded over the years!  *grin* )

Whilst doing so, SWMBO has been following thro with her personal favourites. She's been quite a fan of some of the US acappella bands (voice only, no instrument backing). And, my, some are simply stunning. One group well worth searching Youtube is Pentatonix. Full quality CD mixes astound. Like this:
Pentatonix cover of Queen's iconic piece:


A bit of an idle search around Avi Kaplain - the Pentatonix bass fellow from the above clip (and you really need decent headphones/amp/speakers to get all he is capable of) - leads to other singers and their works ... like this:

Avi Kaplain with the group Home Free performing Cash's Ring Of Fire


Those base singers *sigh* I long remember several favourite base rich pieces done so well. So an idle Saturday arvo had me stumbling over another well remembered oldie. A very powerful piece from an unlikly source - a lightweight R&H musical.
Paul Robeson's version of Ol' Man River from the Showboat musical.



Tomorrow? Likely to be very different!

The most underrated band in history...

What a great queen cover!! If you like things like that then youtube "walk off the earth". They are brilliant. They do accoustic covers of popular tracks. Very talented group
