Recommend 5 songs to us, and we should at least check them out. No popular, #1, million selling songs. I think we'd already know about those!
My five:
"Three Libras" - A Perfect Circle
"Running Away" - D'Influence
"Bring You Down" - Incognito
"Shaheed" - Soulive
"Is It In?" - Jimmy "Bo" Horne

| | Vorsprung durch Technik | | Join Date: Sep 2000 Location: Cologne, Germany | | Cool idea Woody! - Blowbeat - Rocket Ship [Chainsaw Melodies, 1992]
-> My favorite song of this amazing but sadly defunct Dutch band. Great playing by Pieter Douma on his Glockenklang-powered Musicman bass. Prime example of the Dutch band's incredible musicianship. Story: What happens when the engineers forgot to put a toilet in a spaceship. 
- Andy Timmons - Is This What You Want? [Ear-X-tasy, 1997]
-> Great song that seemlessly morphs from jazzy to metal. Amazing song-writing and guitar-playing on the whole album by Simon Phillips and Ex-Danger Danger guitarist Timmons. Great singer too!!!
- The Family Stand - Fienin [Connected, 1998]
-> Great funky Mother's Finest-like song, the album ranges from Roachford-esque funk pop to deep soul -GREAT.
I saw them open for the Peppers on the SBSM tour - and they kicked their asses! Great bass by Leslie Lemon, who plays Atlansia IIRC.
- Lacuna Coil - My Wings [In A Reverie, 1999] Amazing song from Italy's best gothic/dark metal band, but really every song on this album is a keeper. Great vocal hook-lines on this one. If you like older The Gathering material - this is for you. Not as classic-inspired as most Scandinavian acts (a good thing IMO). Great interaction (no pun intended) between Christina Scabbia's angelic singing and the metal growls of Andrea Ferro.
- Bob Mould - Hearbreak A Stranger [Workbook, 1989]
-> Man, I love this album, and there are lots of memories attached to it. Bob's first solo album after Hüsker Dü's break-up was recorded on his farm in his homestudio - and so it's more quiet and acoustic than this other output. Great emotional songs. I like it very much.
That's all for this installment. More to follow soon. Maybe.

JJ Burnel's upfront P bass with pick- string bends, chords- probably a Chris Squire influence in there....plus provocative lyrics....
The Cult- "Resurrection Joe"
a sort-of funk-rock song led by Jamie Stewart's chorused Stingray.
use of harmonics in the breaks.
The Cure- "Torture" (kiss me...album) a vaguely similar chorused Stingray line, with drop-D tuning.
Psychedelic Furs- "President gas"
another P bass user- here alternating from a mechanical staccato 8th-note line in the verse to an interestingly incongruous disco-style octave line in the chorus. use of delay in the middle 8 break.
oddly, all of these were originally played with a pick, but I prefer to play them fingerstyle....
also alt-rock but a very different tone and feel (fingerstyle),
Bauhaus- "She's in parties"
a fretless P bass, I believe, providing a sliding line in the verse, and a muted dub-style line (thumb-plus-mute?) in the break.

Negative - Mansun (a great band, generally unappreciated around my area)
Through And Through - Life of Agony
Like Every Day Is The Last - Hybrid Children
The Bronze - Queens of the Stone Age (absolutely amazing guitar solo)
Radiohead - Like Spinning Plates (live piano version, much better than the album track IMO)
Great thread idea  .

Corporate rock? Nope. Sweet groove. Sexy song. Fun to play. On the Best Of CD.
Soulcracker - One Wave.
Alterna-pop. Nice hooky song for passing traffic. On the At Last for You CD.
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Big Country.
Fretless folkcountryrockjazz. Great tune that has a perfect momentum to it. Best of thge 20th Century CD.
Fishbone - Freddy's Dead.
I love this more aggressive version of the Mayfield classic. Fishbone 101.
Yes - I'm Running.
This is one of the most fun you'll ever have with a pick. Starts off with a lick that will stick in your head and tons of work on the low B, back when it was still new. Big Generator. |

Bob Dylan - The man in the long black coat; my fav Dylan song, from his best album Oh Mercy....
Blind Melon - Walk; gotta love that bassline...
John Lee Hooker feat Santana - Chill Out (things gonna change); just a very cool song, not so bluesy....
there are so many great songs out there I could go on forever....

BTW, I totally agree with Fishbone's "Freddy's Dead", also check out "Psychologically Overcast" from the Chim Chim CD. Killer groove.
