Don Quixote Posted May 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 18, 2015 Favorite musician = Eric Clapton! Close second, Mark Knopfler from Dire Straights. His new stuff is great! Like a mix of folk, rock, a little country, and even a couple waltz'. Favorite band = Pink Floyd with Supertramp a close second. Not the commercial Supertramp, check out Cannonball Run. Favorite song? Depends on the day. Probably My Fathers Eyes or Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. When my Dad died I played those 2 songs over and over for the 8 straight hours I cried. Canute, RichardG, GLakie and 3 others 6 Quote Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 Scale. 2nd boat in the learning series. In Dry Dock: Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack. 1:24 scale. Model Shipways, 3rd in the learning series. Not sure what'll be next, probably the Santa Maria by Artesania Latina 1:65 scale. Unless someone has a better suggestion for a beginner. Pride of Baltimore. Model Shipways. Clipper used in the war of 1812. Black Falcon. Mantua Model. 18 century corsair brig. CSS. Alabama. E. Manolie? Can't read the font. Build in Liverpool in 1862 for use in the American Civil War by the Confederates. Steam and sail, sloop of war. Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. A baseball cap my Dad wore.

ccoyle Posted May 18, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 18, 2015 Supertramp also happens to be the first band I saw live as well, and also on their 1979 'Breakfast in America' tour. I saw them in Bremen. Supertramp, Genesis, Alan Parsons Project, and The Police were my favorite bands during my formative years. Guitarist Phil Keaggy is my favorite individual musician. The original question is kind of tricky, because 'favorite' depends on what genre we are talking about. I also have a weakness for Ralph Vaughan Williams (classical), Solas (Irish traditional), and Seawind (jazz fusion). cog, GLakie and uss frolick 3 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

cog Posted May 18, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 18, 2015 I've got a problem ... I don't have a favourite band or song ... it all depends on my mood ... sometimes I even can't stand music ... though some of my favourites: Charles Aznavour - Ma mie, Joan Armatrading - Show some emotion, Astrud Gilberto - Agua De Beber (or her daddy - any song) ... when I look at these I could go on, and on, and on, and ... Oh yeah ... The sick note ... sung by the Dubliners ... always makes me laugh ... Mozart - Requiem ... Holst - The Planets ... Ella Fitzgerald ......

md1400cs Posted May 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Very much always hovering at the top of my list; VAST, John Crosby. IMO arguably he is best lyricist of relationships that have an edge to them. Love his voice, love his band http://www.realvast.com/music.htm NO, I am not in any way connected to this band other than as a passionate fan. They never received the success that they deserved. Their best, super well mastered CD is "April" I have more than 5,000 songs on my hard drive and have north of 2,000 CD's collecting dust. Love all kinds of music.

Canute Posted May 18, 2015 Share #5 Posted May 18, 2015 Crikey, I must be the old fan here. Fave band - The Who, for rockin out. The Doors when I'm in an "LA Woman" kind of mood. Yardbirds/Zepplin, too. And The Grateful Dead - pick any remastered live album. Fave musician - where to start? Our thread starter hit a few I like. Add Stevie Ray Vaughan for his blues guitar work. Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) for some guitar riffs. John Lennon (pre-Ono) doing early rock covers. Fave song - different every day. Although "Hey, Jude" can strike a cord or City of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie or Willie Nelson. I have this railroad thing running around my brain.

fnick Posted May 18, 2015 Share #8 Posted May 18, 2015 Favorite music. Who else but the king! Elvis! Ok I do like a few other bands as well: The Beatles as an example or soundtracks: ennio morricone is my favourite in that field. Once upon a time in the west is my favourite soundtrack and favourite film. But i digress... new "favourite film" themed post anyone?

clearway Posted May 20, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 20, 2015 Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Judas Priest to name but a few, but also older stuff like the stones and some classical. However one of my fave albums for background music while building is Marylin Manson in particular the lest we forget album, but U2, Aerosmith and ZZ Top can get a look in too!

Canute Posted May 20, 2015 Share #12 Posted May 20, 2015 Harlequin, well said! When I was still working, my supervisor (10 yrs younger) quizzed me as to why Dylan, since he sang so nasally. I asked him how many bands covered his stuff or did concerts with the Master.

GLakie Posted May 20, 2015 Share #13 Posted May 20, 2015 Hard choice between Clapton and Stevie Ray, but tonight, I'm going with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

harlequin Posted May 20, 2015 Share #14 Posted May 20, 2015 I last saw dylan in Blackpool november 2013......true his voice is not at its best but the aura he still has about him was palpable. I took my then 12 year old son with me and he absolutely loved it. Dylan as usual never said a word during the concert, he did one encore then at the end came centre stage gave a little bow and departed. What a legend....Yes he is an awkward sort of character but some of his lyrics are just beyond comparison....just my oppinion.

Jack12477 Posted May 21, 2015 Share #15 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) There was (now defunct) a cafe in Woodstock that a lot of us would go to with our wives after work on a Friday night - Cafe Espresso (aka Tinker Street Cafe) - upstairs was the famous "White Room" where Dylan retreated to for some quiet solitude and song writing. Down the street about a mile was the famous Bearsville Recording studios started by Albert Grossman, Dylan's manager. From time to time, Dylan and Joan Baez would wander into the Cafe after a recording session, order a beer, pull a couple tables together, put a couple chairs atop the tables, climb up, sit-down and play an impromptu session. Never knew who might show up back then (60's-70's) or when. Of course, there were also "scheduled" concerts/performances at the Cafe Espresso on various weekends but the impromptu walk-ins were perhaps the most interesting and entertaining. Locally most people just referred to it as the Tinker Street Cafe. The outdoor front porch was generally jammed in summer. The Cafe is now a Photography Center but the Bearsville Recording studio is still active but I'm not sure who owns it now (it was owned by his widow Sally but she reportedly put it up for sale in 2004). They added a 250 seat theater some time back which holds some cool concerts from time to time.
