First topic message reminder :

The aim of this thread is that I will post a YouTube link up to a song that I am a fan of. The next person that comments rates the song out of ten and then puts his own link up and so on and so on! Hope it picks up, its a way for everyone to be introduced to others music tastes!

Your link didn't work, Nole, so I have no song to rate!

Nice mellow vibe - hadnt heard it before. 6/10

Sorry! It didn't want to paste it so I obviously made a typo...

Not particularly a favourite of mine but legendary none the less 7/10.

This has just been released.

She has a beautiful voice, Katie Melua. 7/10.

In response to the song Adam posted:

Nick Cave is not everyone's mug of cappuccino. He's dark. But, I like im. 7/10.

Its Friday folks. Its 6-N weekend. It's Crackerjack!

This guy, to me, has one of the sweetest voices in popular music.

That link doesn't lead to a video, Gibbo, but I know the song and it's a good 'un. He sang on some of the Dan's stuff too, didn't he? 7.5/10

https://youtu.be/Q-AzbQmUaYc

these French really look miserable, nobody's smiling...

Delpo comes through. Nice match, great fight from Gasquet, pulled the short draw with his draw.

LJubicic Tipsarevic next.

I APOLOGISE, I've really lost it, thought I was on my tennis thread

Priceless!

Sorry Lucky.

Here it is. Hope it works. Must be a Clog link man.

P.S.

that's such a sad song Gibbie.

Yo! Go Nole. How was the tennis pal?

Ah that song is sad and beautiful at the same time. So human. It tells inner-stories. That's why music rocks.

For your choice, Im not being nice, cos you lost threads me darlin. 10/10.

That song has so much resonance for moi. Big time. So good, I played it twice.

Now follow that Gibbo.

This, is for you Nole.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh44QPT1mPE

Oh, well if it's for Nole then I can't rate it.

I love some of Neil Young's stuff. He's a tunesmith, no doubt, and he has such a voice. I give that song a 9/10.

I'll post this again, seeing as it was missed in the whole Doobie Brothers / tennis confusion:

https://youtu.be/Q-AzbQmUaYc

Thanks Gibbie ! Tennis went well OK, although it went totally non-existent in the end... long story...

I hear this song last night for the first time and loved it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb_DJFi7R6g

LP, that song sounds vintage but the lyrics give it away, 6/10

not to bad 5/10


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN-xq7t6pKw

0/10

Forgot the song, sorry!

Hi Nole. See you've changed tack from soul to jazz. Again not really my bag, but at least its nice and mellow. I'll give it 4/10.

Here's something in a similar vein, but more modern and upbeat, which is one of my all-time favourites (could also go on the movie soundtrack thread):

Candy Dulfer & Dave Stewart - Lily Was Here

Jazz was the need last night

How could I forget that steamy duo .. 8/10 And now....something completely different, perfect for Monday morning!

Loving that Wolfe. Saw em a few times in the Paradiso in the Dam. She played with Van De Man as well. Excellent.

Jay,
Lovely stuff. 3/10.

7/10 (Poetry is a very serious business)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_56ep729TE&ob=av2n

I shouldn't really mark that. They only time I ever said Leonard Cohen was even bareable, was to get my end away with hippie girls, who loved him with a passion. Best be honest.

He makes me feel suicidal. He did then and he still does now. Sorry pal. Errm 4/10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_M8m4Yr7vc&ob=av2e

" Best be honest." who with, the hippie girls or me?
"He makes me feel suicidal. He did then and he still does now. " that is the job or a true poet, to awaken the dead soul, Gibbo except that this song is not a poem, and is the only one I like from LC, because it's very deep from a Christian perspective.

Anyrod, back to surface , here's stg "happy" :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csPQcxRUwDM&feature=related

7/10 for Paul Weller , I like Heavy soul a bit more

What a comeback! Man was a genius. 10/10.
Yeah, Heavy Soul is class. Huge Weller fan me. And the Jam.

Davy Jones is dead? That is sad news.

For that Monkees song, 7/10. Here's another one sung by Davy Jones:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I8mWG6HlmU (I did this one before, but just had to do it again, can't get enough of the guitars in it )

OK, that will b 10/10 for the latter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4T3tMkjRig

Prefer the song sang in the Ella Fitzgerald classic jazz mode...but still Mama Cass rates an 8/10

A song from the 80s by a band that I rated so-so, but I always loved the persistent throb of this one...by far my favourite of theirs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6f593X6rv8&ob=av2e

Oh, I loved that song on first hearing....when I bought the Sweet dreams single and found Love is a stranger on side B!!!! 10/10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoN6AKPGkBo&feature=fvst

I love Burns guitars. The song's great too, obviously. 8/10.

They played this on the radio earlier, I hadn't heard it before:

I know OMD , 7/10 had one of their albums and loved this one:

Another OMD song I hadn't heard before! 7/10.

Radio, you say?

Kraftwerk is where I drew the line in the 80s , my could couldn't bear the soulless Germans....although I had their album Model (self-loathe). 5/10 I preferred this....
www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQqFvtFlFLk

It's hard not to like that. 7.5/10.

Never heard of that one before

thats why i posted it, to see what people thought of it..

hence why i wanted someone to rate it!

Is that the Imelda May one?

Just heard it now (a bit) it's a nice song, but not enough jazz in it, like pearls before the swine scenario. She has a plain voice, there is no soft brushing on the drums, no dreamy trumpet and sexy saxophone, imagine Dinah Washingon or Etta James singing this, oh yesss!

so, 3/10 because the song is potentially fantastic.

Sorry to be a pain, but I can't help having this one again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4T3tMkjRig

Nole,
You are a baad. In a nice way. 9.5/10.

But this, for me, was her best.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYgQIOiRAyg

I know I'm terrible Gibbie....I liked you version, too; the beginning is sweeter, and that's how I remember the song, but I prefer the bit when she flies away with her voice better in the other version. she sounds shy and quite genuine in "your" version.


I tried to find something that would match it in classical music, and came up with this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZJt-oWDD7U&feature=related

P.S.
9/10, so I don't end up being REALLY bad
