Your favourite listenings......

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Brass Against are brilliant, see them at a festival a few years ago.

Craig my music tastes are also a bit young and alternative. Given the amount of overlap I’d guess you’re late 30s early 40s like me.

Tom Waits is great - he writes some really good lyrics. I'm a big fan of musicians who write songs with poetic, thoughtful (and, if I'm honest, often depressing) lyrics. My two favourites are Tom McRae and David Ford, e.g.

Tom McRae:







David Ford:







Oh, and this (from Tom McRae again) has to win the award for most depressing (but possibly also most beautiful) Christmas Song:

Just listened to that Christmas Song. Jeez that is SO depressing.
I’ll stick to my 70s, 80s, 90s, prog rock etc.

Just ordered David Bowie’s live double album, Stage. Must be 30 years since I last listened to it. Can't wait.

Any old cricketers on this forum?! :)

By (most of ...or maybe just some of) the original artists who recorded it.

(Ignore the Letterman bit at the start. Go straight in to 54secs.

There was one LP my parents owned that I used to enjoy listening to even at 15 years old.
Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water. My kids enjoy singing along to the whole album as much as I did and still do.
I came home the other day to find one of the kids doing her homework with the iMac blasting out my playlist.
"What's this she said" When I asked her why she replied that she really liked it.
The track was Shine on Your Crazy Diamond II.

Turns out she really likes electric guitar solos. So I played her Gary Moore's Parisian Walkways. Which she said was spoilt by the singing.
Beginning to think that it is not just their mastery of English that they have inherited from me.

They might be a reason for the twins linking Dire Straits too. Brothers in Arms was playing in the delivery room as they were being born. Not our choice BTW.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

I jumped into the car to drive to our wedding, the track on the radio - Dire Straits' Your Latest Trick.
My wife had a twenty five hour labour with my daughter. I got in the car to go home and the first track I heard was The Stranglers' Strange Little Girl. I have Shine On You Crazy Diamond booked for my funeral. :lol:

I compile a list of songs I remember I like or hear on the radio then buy them. The last list I did comprised of some quite peculiar stuff from susan boyle wild horses, thunderchild from war of the worlds, Camouflage and never ending story :D
