"Big Time" by Peter Gabriel.

The place where I come from is a small town.
They think so small, they use small words.

I put "Big Time" up there as my favorite Peter Gabriel song to sing along to. The subject matter is fun, the lyrics are fun, and it's just a good time. Second only to "Solsbury Hill".

[MerchManDan]

I know, right?? Most of his songs from Us and So are just too great. :mrgreen: I would sing "Big Time" at karaoke someday, but I'm afraid of slaughtering it.

Also: Currently listening to "TelevisionLes" by Vav Jungle.

She's TelevisionLes and that's no catch,
She's TelevisionLes; slightly awkward.

Peter Gabriel is epic. Like Genesis and other bands of that era.

Although non can resist a bit of relaxing to Final Fantasy.

[Lilianna]

As I like to say, "that's why they make vanilla and chocolate". We all have our own tastes.

What is with this analogy? My band director used it the other day talking to the percussion section about their lack of soft/loud variance in their playing.

And "Suicidio De Javert" from Les Mis Spain

Final Fantasy the dude from Canada or Final Fantasy soundtracks? Either way is cool, of course.

I still am switching back and forth between of Montreal, The Rosebuds and The Aquabats. Is it possible to tire of any of them? Probably not.

I've been listening to the soundtrack from Turrican (Amiga version) and I still reckon that's more awesome than many more modern tracks.

Dude...

The title theme...

is like the most awesome piece of music EVER...

Chris Hülsbeck is a genius!!!

How do you know it??? You were like 10 years old when those games came out...

They are incidentally also my favorite computer games ever. I totally played them to excess on my C64 back then, and probably have every nook, cranny and 1UP burned into my brain today still...

I got an Amiga 500 for Christmas in 1990!

Chris is an absolute legend, some of the other stuff he did still sounds great. If you're an Amiga emulation enthusiast, Turrican's creators Factor5 are offering the soundtrack disk free and if you own the original games (I don't any more, sadly, since some of the games got sold off years ago) you can legally download the games from them too.

Just to be clear: I don't see this as breaking the above rules, though I fully understand why you've made the points. I'm discussing the artist, pointing out that he did some great music, plus where the music can be obtained legally (from the creators, no less, although I note your comment about websites) and that the music can be found in its original context in the games there, again legally. But if we're going to say "yeah that was cool" and not direct more people to how cool it was, fair enough. I just thought the point was to discuss good music and if it can be legally obtained, to point people to it, to share the wealth, metaphorically speaking.

Anyway: topic re-railing.

Currently listening to Meat Loaf's "Jumping The Gun" from Bad Attitude. Not a bad album, but nowhere near his greatest work. Definitely better than the previous album "Midnight At The Lost And Found" though.

It's on random play though, so before that I had "Sacred Power of Raging Winds" by Rhapsody of Fire. Interesting song, to start out with Christopher Lee booming through some of the LOTR dialogue (from the part where the Nine Walkers battle up Caradhras.)

Then again, random play can go anywhere - I have 95 hours of music on it right now, and that's just a goodly-sized chunk of it.

I'm sorry where exactly again do you FIT in, Arrantor?

" --RULES TO RESPECT AND ABIDE BY: Vetz these rules don't neccessarily have to apply to you.--"

I'm fully aware of what is being said, don't assume that this is about you and don, wanted to point something out to the n00bs who assume this may be a "free for all, anything goes" kinda topic. Instead of paying attention (skimming) more closely to what EXACTLY is being discussed. Again...We cool arantor, hell, all vets are! Why vets are an exemption to this rule. I don't really care about you or Don side-baring keep doing your thing. Later!

Artist/Band: Song Title:
Monica -- Don't take it personal

He... used it wrong. The analogy is a bit closer to this - If everyone had the same tastes, they wouldn't make more than one flavor. Neither is wrong, it's just a difference in tastes. If your percussion section didn't have enough variation in the volume of their playing, that's an entirely different issue.

Heh, I've spent too much time with my grandparents. I throw these old analogies out there than most people have stopped using.

You're not alone - but my parents are the ones who use the ones I've never heard before, and I get them stuck in my head. Then my friends look at me like I'm from Mars or grew a second head or something.

Muse is about to play.. its on shuffle.... I don't know which one...

and it is Stockholm Syndrome.
