Thanks for the recommendations! I loved Freddie too.

My kid called it "feet!" when she was little.

There is not a lot of music I do not like but sometimes I don't like the words.

The Voice ...loss and gain and some really good stuff.

Gráinne · 10-22-2012, 09:56 PM

Oh, and speaking of obscure...Leningrad Cowboys' cover of Dylan

You may have guessed I'm not much for most of modern pop, although I do like some of Taylor Swift's work.

I looked up Son de la Frontera. Didn't find any mention of Diego. Good stuff. I would love to see them live. I don't think I have ever heard Flamenco live.

Sorry I updated that. Diego del Gastor was a flamenco guitarist and the song I was referring to was Buleria Negra del Gastor. That album is an homanje to him. He was a Gypsy in Spain in the 70s and had a very distinctive sound. Flamenco is amazing to watch live.

OMG!

I laughed LOUD. That chorus! The hair. And they rock too. I am still laughing. LOL.

I am a big classic rock fan, but My tastes run all over the map...I recently was turned onto:

Poi Dog Pondering...

and

Big Head Todd & The Monsters...

one more worth mentioning...The Airborne Toxic Event...

Take a listen, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I was totally addicted to that Big Head Todd song back in the day.

Speaking of obscure or alternative, there's Moby (so named because he's somehow related to Herman Melville):

Teena Marie -- wasn't she something?

The Lady Snow mentioned Hal Ketchum on the two-step thread. He is totally not the kind of artist who usually floats my boat. Smooth, sweet, pretty country pop and folk.

But I have always LOVED Hal. He's a good songwriter. Consistent. Some of his songs might on the surface sound like radio country, but they are not. Smarter and not emotionally manipulative. When he writes, he's not trying to create a hit. He is accessing himself, a real person, a good person. And while the experiences he talks about are very common and he is not a genius with words, he still creates original moments. He does have some roots stuff and definitely collaborates with roots musicians, who adore him. But, I guess what I mean is you could miss that it's really good if you just went by the sound.

And I love his mellow personal energy. I was sad when I learned -- many years ago now -- that he has MS. I have only seen him a few times. He is still out and about though he has had years of little to no productivity. He's well loved by his peers, which is pretty rare.
