Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine So, what are you listening to?

I'm marathoning all my Was (Not Was) LPs and discs. Hence the new subheading under my icon.

Focusing on Weird Al for some reason lately.

INXS Kick as well.

so I picked up Slash's apocolyptic love cd and decided that while I liked the song linked above, you're a lie, i like Bad Rain much better. Think its a song I could come closer to learning to play, simple, basic, powerful. that's how I like my hard rock.

On the subject of ex-Guns and Roses folk (like Slash), I'm loving Nikki Sixx's Life is Beautiful.

But I'm into old stuff lately, so I've been grooving to ELO\'s Time (full album on this youtube short) , and Manfred Mann's Somewhere in Africa with songs like Redemption Song and Eyes of Nostradamus .

Michelle Branch. My top 2 are All You Wanted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aViAxK3SKU&ob=av3e and Breathe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQQZSL_tVsE&ob=av2n

...er...Sixx is from Motley Crue, not Gn'R, Set.

New favorite song: The Cab's "Endlessly".

Steady as she goes by the Raconteurs

Def Leppard's "Hysteria."

Love it so much.

Hard to believe it's been a quarter century since its release.

Now I feel old.

Love 'em, but thank GOD for lyric sheets!

This and Pyromania are tops of my albums to listen to almost daily at work.

Yeah, it IS a bit hard to make out what Joe is singing through all the sound effects.

The Foo Fighters Greatest Hits. Never realized how many songs I actually liked by them. As I listened to the cd the first time, I realized I knew pretty much every song on it.

It's not groundbreaking music, but good fun Rock and Roll.

Now I've moved on to the "other side" of 1987 in music: The Smiths' "Strangeways, Here We Come." Although there's not a huge gap between Lep and the Smiths on songs like the former's "Armageddon It" and the latter's "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before," as both bands were heavily inspired by 70s glam in general and T-Rex in particular.

"With the Lights Out", the Nirvana Box set of early recordings, later demos and rarities. It's pretty crazy stuff, including some awesome covers from house parties before they were signed, and a pretty cool rough cut of "Teen Spirit" with a different set of lyrics.

I have been listening to Lana Del Rey and Florence and the Machine's latest effort non stop ... for lack of anything better to listen while I work.

^LOVE Lana Del Rey.

Concrete Blonde The Bloodletting I think it is. That's the biggest problem with me, I know what I like, I almost never know who it's by, lol.

Two new to me bands...
Orange Goblin, who have that classic 80's heavy/trash metal sound
Battlecross, fall into the Nu-Metal genre for sure but in line with the better bands of that sound

The Logical Song ...

Posted this on the wall of a friend for her Birthday. Have gone back and listened to it three times since then.

Slade: the Collection, '79-'87. Great as their rough-and-ready 70s songs are, in my opinion the quality of their output didn't decrease one bit during their slightly glossier 80s comeback. They were always one of the greatest good-time, good-humored rock and roll bands, and this is the rare two-disc anthology that is worth the extra disc.

^"I like rockin' wild,
Run runaway."

I watched the video of "Run Runaway" just a few days ago, and it reminded me of a friend who looked like Noddy Holder! Unfortunately, he took offense when I told him that.

He took offense? How dare he? What guy wouldn't want to look like this?
