[Kenyan]

specfic Beatles? get the whole freaking Sgt. Peppers Lonely heart club band album. The only thing close to it ( imo of course) is Dark side of the moon or Wish you were here.

Of beatles songs: Lady Madonna, Let it be, As my guitar gently wheeps, day tripper, SO many good songs, just get as many as you can!!! :bang:

[Mount_Happy]

I need some specifics for Beatles.
check out the songs off of the Beatles 1 album (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004ZAV3/qid=1115867503/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-4258250-3349453), its a good way to start off.

[Pinkfloyd]

Hmm, I would go with some Simon and Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, and Eric Clapton. Thats what I listen to, much more, but I'm not going to name every artist in my playlist.


Also Check my sig, for the some trance. Its good :cool:

[k_tull88]

So many good songs, but here's some that I've been getting into lately.

Steve Miller Band - Take the Money and Run

Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride
Electric Light Orchestra - Four Little Diamonds
Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Down On The Corner
The Who -Baba O' Riley
The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby
Oasis - Stand By Me (EDIT: This isn't the song you may think it is. It's not a cover of the Ben E. King song 'Stand By Me', It's an original song.)
Radiohead - Electioneering
Guster - Two Points For Honesty
The Shins - Know Your Onion
Weezer - Say It Ain't So
Queen - The Prophet's Song

[JarOfFlies]

Steve Vai - Hand On Heart, Sisters, Bad Horsie
Pearl Jam - Jeremy, Once, Porch, Daughter

[John w/the Wind]

Any one of Ozzy Osbourne's solo albums, excluding 'Down To Earth', 'Ozzmosis', 'The Ultimate Sin', and 'No Rest For The Wicked', are void of any common obscenities.

DTE = one instance of "fuck"
TUS & Ozzmosis = one instance of "bullshit"
NRFTW = one instance of "bitch"

These albums are my favorites, and Blizzard of Ozz is the best of them:

Blizzard of Ozz - I Don't Know, Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, Revelation (Mother Earth), Steal Away (The Night).

Diary of a Madman - Over The Moutain, Believer, S.A.T.O., Flying High Again, Diary of a Madman.

No More Tears - Mr. Tinkertrain, Mama I'm Comin' Home, Desire, S.I.N., No More Tears, A.V.H., Zombie Stomp.

BEWARE THE LIVE ALBUMS. :D

OR, if you're into jazz guitar playing with no lyrics, check out Joe Pass.

[Sparky_07]

Older songs that are catchy, the first to come to mind for me right now is:

Supertramp: The Logical Song
Supertramp: It's Raining Again

Very catchy and fun.

[gigatonblast]

Aerosmith - Big 10 inch
Bad Company - Young Blood
Bobby Gaylor - Suicide
James Gang - Troglodytes
Pursuit Of Happiness - Im An Adult Now
Van Halen - Ice Cream Man

[ypsidan04]

You know a good singer/songwriter from back in the day? Jim Croce. They played one of his songs last night at my job, and I was like "Oh yeah, that's pretty good." So I got home and downloaded a few of his songs:

- Bad Bad Leroy Brown
- I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song
- Operator
- Time In A Bottle
- You Don't Mess Around With Jim

I saw a Behind The Music on him once. Died in a plane crash in the middle of his career. :(

(If you consider "Damn" a cuss word, then don't bother with the first)

[ConanTL]

Is that really a band. :lol:

wtf...

Yeah... they really exist. Check their albums out here. (http://shop.relapse.com/store/product.aspx?ProductID=17817)

I've never heard their music, but with song titles like: "I Became A Counselor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They Asked For It" and about 30-40 songs an album, I'd rather not ever hear any of their "music".

[whereismymind]

I would have to recomend Bob Dylan. He was one of the best song writers of all time. He has many albums that are just perfect. Some song recomendations would be:

Hurricaine
Suberteranian homesick blues
The ballad of hollis brown
Mr. tambourine man
Like a rolling stone
Tombstone blues
Shelter from the storm
Idiot wind
The times they are a changing
Knockin on heavens door.

Good albums:
Blood on the tracks
Highway 61 revisited
Desire
The freewheelin Bob Dylan
Bring it all back home

Other bands I would have to recomend would be CCR(Creedence Clearwater Revival), Miles Davis, King Crimson, Frank Zappa and Frank Sinatra.

[T3h_Dark_Dude]

Is that really a band. :lol:

wtf...
A.C are one of the best bands EVER! In fact i'm listing to "40 more reasons to hate us."

But on topic, if you are looking at some metal bands: Hammerfall, Black Sabbath, Dio, Iced Earth (Somthing wicked this way comes), Iron Maiden and Tokyo Blade.

Hammerfall: Anything
Black Sabbath: Album: We sold our soul for rock and rol.
Dio: Anything
Iced Earth: Album: SWTWC
Maiden: Anything besides the album "killers"
Tokyoblade: Song: Night of the blade.

If you're looking for good classical and jazz, check some of these out.

Classical (This isn't the stereotypical snoozer baroque harpsichord stuff. This is GOOD):
Gustav Mahler's "5th Symphony"
Claude Debussy's "La Mer"
Anything by Igor Stravinsky (Firebird Suite, Petrushka, Le Sacre du Printemps)
Charles Ives "Unanswered Question"
Sergei Rachmaninov's "Symphonic Dances" or "Symphony No. 3"

John Adams' "Of the Transmigration of Souls"
Jean Sibelius's "Finlandia" or "Symphony No. 2"
Aram Khachaturian's "Gayane Ballet Suite"
Frank Zappa's "Yellow Shark" Album (he's heavily influenced by stravinsky and serialists like Schoenberg, Webern and Berg. Might be a bit too bizarre for someone who isn't used to atonality.)

Anything by Maria Schnieder (Concert in the Garden)
Anything by Pat Methany, Joey DiFrancesco, JJ Johnson, Miles Davis, Oliver Nelson, Eric Dolphy, Kenny Garret (The GOOD Kenny G), Curtis Fuller, The Brecker Brothers, Tower of Power.

Jamiroquai
George Clinton
James Brown
Sublime

I can't even make a list, fuck it. That's just a few of my personal favorites. There's no one on this list who isn't teeming with talent and/or innovation (except sublime...they're just an old habit of mine that I'll never be able to kick.)
