What songs/bands/singers are you obsessed with, if any?

[RevolutionaryActs]

There are four songs I can't stop playing today.

Sinnerman - Nina Simone.
The Show Must Go On - Queen.
Won't Be Home - Old 97's.
Long Time Gone - Dixie Chicks.

Bizarre mix, I know. Oh well.


How 'bout you?

[da_chimperor]

Probably Trent Reznor. He's the closest thing I have to a god.

I can't wait until the new NIN album comes out. I'm sooooooooo getting it. :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. Good stuff. I went through a vase were I listened to Head like a hole.

Over, and over, and over. HAHA :P

[da_chimperor]

5. I listen to at least one NIN song every day.

I've got all his stuff, and there's always at least one song that fits my mood. :thumbsup:

[name not needed]

101. Heard the new single yet?

The Hand That Feeds, I think it is.

[khashka]

39. I'd marry Trent Reznor

if only he'd ask me....

Khash.

[da_chimperor]

77. I would too . . . if he was a hot female.

But he's not. x(

[khashka]

80. Ah, Why Quibble About Genitals?

Not, of course, that I have any interest in Trent's genitals.....

Khash.

[da_chimperor]

85. If I'm married to someone

I'm going to want to, well, get busy with them. If I can't there's not really a point to the whole thing. :shrug:

[Midnight Rambler]

1. Mick Taylor-era Rolling Stones

Been on a big kick for a long time now

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. Cool, cool.

I like Giddy-Up. :D

[JohnKleeb]

3. Hmmmmmmm I dont know

[da_chimperor]

6. NINEINCHNAILS! AHHHHHHHH!

:crazy: <--- that would be the vodka talking. :P

[JohnKleeb]

8. Nope

I am liking this Russian music though, its cool.

[jonnyblitz]

13. russian cossack polkas? nt

[JohnKleeb]

31. Try commie music

[jonnyblitz]

43. have you heard" the internationale"?nt

[da_chimperor]

45. Hmmm, i'd be interested in that. Got a link? n/t

[JohnKleeb]

51. check my link pal

[da_chimperor]

60. Here's a good link if you're into commie music

http://www.marxists.org/history/ussr/sounds/index.htm

[jonnyblitz]

71. you can download if if you have peer2peer software.

I don't know of links to songs per se.

on edit: i posted this before i realized kleeb posted a link already.

[JohnKleeb]

73. That link really is useful

[JohnKleeb]

49. Yeah Ive been to that website that has all the different versions

http://www.vad1.com/anthems/internationale/

[da_chimperor]

20. I like russian music too.

I've got the theme song from 'Hunt for the Red October' on my computer. It's a great song.

[JohnKleeb]

33. Yeah I got that too

[da_chimperor]

41. I've also got the soviet union national anthem.

I downloaded it for a project (flash presentation) I did on communism in my senior year of high school, and I kept the song. It's quite nice.

[JohnKleeb]

44. The internationale?

Yeah I have that in 20 different languages even in Tuvan.

[da_chimperor]

48. Ehhhhh, not sure.

I think the Internationale and the soviet union anthem are different. Lemme check around the 'net for a minute.

Edit: Nope, it's different. Check this one out. http://www.marxists.org/history/ussr/sounds/mp3/soviet-anthem.mp3

[JohnKleeb]

53. I believe the internationale was the soviet anthem under Lenin

but Stalin had one too. Hell I am not a commie but I listen to the music anyway since it sounds kinda cool.

[da_chimperor]

56. Check above for the link to the anthem. n/t

[JohnKleeb]

59. That sounds like the anthem that was during "the great patriotic war"

which is what WWII was refered to in Soviet Russia, think it still is though. Ive been there, they have the smaller soviet republics anthems and some Russian music there too.

[da_chimperor]

61. The tune is still the same for the russian national anthem.

The song has been around since stalin, but they've changed the lyrics a few times. So says the cute russian girls from my german class. ;)

[JohnKleeb]

72. Yeah thats true

because Krushcev wanted to undo Stalinism.

[da_chimperor]

76. Yup. The original had multiple references to him.

[Kellanved]

103. not quite

the cute Russian twins in my Graduate Studies Group told me that they left Russia while they had a national anthem with another tune. ;-)

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. ROFL!

Freak.

HEY! Hows the tongue? :P

[da_chimperor]

18. It's perfectly healed. I'd post a pic . . . but my Venezuelan roommate

kinda borrowed my camera for the weekend. :( I'm getting a shorter bar put in this week.

[RevolutionaryActs]

22. Coolie.

Post a picture then! :P

[da_chimperor]

24. Have you been drinking as well?

I'll post one sometime next week, when I have my camera back. Then you'll finally get to see me with all the metal in my face. :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

27. No, no. That's not what I meant.

I meant post one when you get the new post in, later. :crazy:

[da_chimperor]

AHA!

So my drunkenness have been revealed. You truly are a crafty opponent. What is . . . FEBTOBER!? . . . Ah, a trick question! /end celebrity jeopardy :crazy:

[RevolutionaryActs]

47. Febtober?

A drunken combination of February and October, I would imagine... maybe?

[da_chimperor]

55. Don't tell me you've never watched celebrity jeopardy!?

The guy they had playing Sean Connery was absolutely hilarious! I'll try to find a link for ya.

[RevolutionaryActs]

58. Ooooh! HAHAHAHAHA!

I've seen those before, but not that one. *pout*

[da_chimperor]

67. Bah, can't find it.

If you have some sort of P2P file-sharing program, that's your best bet. :(

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. Come on, there must be some song.

A song that you've played a bunch of times today, or this week. Something? No, ok that's cool too. :P

[JohnKleeb]

10. Fine, its this Russian song I found called the Sacred War

Makes me wanna hit a nazi in the nuts and dance while drinking vodka.

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. LOL! I'd pay to see that.

:D

[JohnKleeb]

15. Well I dont like vodka that much truth be told

Its too hard for me, yes I am a pussy.

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. LOL! Baby.

:silly:

[JohnKleeb]

23. Yeah well I can do something you can't so there

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. What's that?

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

36. Uhhhh you know what it is since you coerce me in to doing it

9 out of 10 times.

[RevolutionaryActs]

42. HEHE! Ya....

:P

[JohnKleeb]

46. You have to admit, it does take skill to be able to flirt as both genders

Its a skill i didnt know I had for a long time.

[LiberallyInclined]

11. Moose & Hooverphonic & Porcupine Tree

I took several years "off" from listening to/aquiring music- when i came back to it, i discovered A LOT of bands i wasn't prweviously familiar with-
these three albums have been in constant rotation(along with others) for months now...

Moose: High Ball Me!


Hooverphonic: A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular


Porcupine Tree: Stars Die- The Delerium Years 1991-1997

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. I have no idea who any of them are, but cool nonetheless

:hi:

[Maestro]

64. Check out Porcupine Tree for sure

Excellent, technical rock. These guys aren't your stereotypical three chord rock band.

[NYdemocrat089]

12. Mr. Brightside by The Killers

I've been hooked on this song since Thursday.

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. Ooooh, love that song.

Love that CD. When I first got it I played far too much. Hmm.. maybe I should pop that in now........ :D

[bigwillq]

21. Great song!

I really like that band!:hi:

[City Lights]

25. The video lures me into the room everytime.

Kids too. We often leave the TV on a video channel while we're doing other things. Whenever that video comes on, all of us come running.

[bigwillq]

29. I never saw the video

I'll have to look for it!:)

[mvd]

89. I've changed my mind about them

I always liked "Mr. Brightside," but didn't think I'd like the rest. I got some more mp3s, and bought the album on iTunes today!

[Tesibria]

26. Over The Rhine

Got their new CD today, and it's been on for the past 4 hours ....

Drunkards Prayer

http://overtherhine.com/home.html


I'm in heaven :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

35. Drunkards Prayer? What a great name for a cd!

I'll check out their side now. :D

[Tesibria]

50. They are soo awesome

well, of course, it's all in the eye (ear?) of the beholder, but I love ALL of their CDs.

If I were a groupie (?) I'd be their groupie !!!

This CD is quieter and more intimate than prior stuff, but the songs are still wonderful. Wonderful.

ok. I'm done gushing. For now.

[RevolutionaryActs]

57. Oooh me likey!

My music thingy has them, me likey. :7

:thumbsup:

[Tesibria]

65. mps .... of two of my favorites ....

Nobody Number One http://overtherhine.com/music/recordings/cd11/cd11.html

And .. of course .. probably my alltime fav

All I need is Everything
available at http://overtherhine.com/music/mp3attic/index.html

(Scroll down to #5)

:::Sigh:::
but for now, back to Drunkard's Prayer...

[RevolutionaryActs]

75. Cool, thanks. I like All I need is Everything too.

:D

[Tesibria]

70. And, of course, there's the poopsmith song

http://overtherhine.com/music/mp3rarity/index.html

BUT have to say -- while rather hilarious here, the song was *much* better last fall, pre-election, when certain words were changed to reflect ... uhm ... respect for GwB. (fantastic)

[leftofthedial]

28. excellent mix

worthy of obsession

[RevolutionaryActs]

37. Thank you.

:7

[khashka]

32. Today?

Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Tori Amos - Sweet the Sting

And best of all

Fiona Apple - Used to Love Him

A great song from a great album - that girl is god.

Khash.

[RevolutionaryActs]

38. Very cool!

Fiona is sooooo cool :D

[crispini]

34. Old 97's?!

I was born in the back seat of a Mustang
on a hard night in a cold rain
and the very first song that the radio played
was "I won't be home no more."

:yourock: my favorite band! I once followed them all over Texas. They rock infinitely! Wooooohooo! go Rev!

[RevolutionaryActs]

40. And it's all because of you that I know!

:yourock:

[crispini]

52. Me, no kidding, was I talking about them on here?

I always forget what the hell I talk about. :7

[RevolutionaryActs]

62. LOL! Yes it was after you went to a concert of theirs, I believe.

And I was like, who the heck are they? So I checked them out, now me likes them. :7

[crispini]

81. Oh! PUI'ing

no wonder I don't remember. I'm surprised you could read the post! :evilgrin:

Might you be in LA? Rhett does solo shows at Largo quite often if so...

[RevolutionaryActs]

83. LOL! You're posts were coherent actually.

S'all good. :D

Nope, not in LA. :(

[Lauri16]

54. All the stuff from

Ozzy
Black Sabbath
Dokken
Dio
Journey (with Steve Perry, the only REAL Journey)
Triumph/Rik Emmett

[RevolutionaryActs]

63. Good stuff. :D

:hi:

[Lauri16]

66. Thank ya!

:headbang:

[RevolutionaryActs]

68. And welcome to DU! (I forgot to say before)

:toast:

[Lauri16]

86. Thanx!

:headbang: :toast:

[nytemare]

69. Peter Gabriel and Sarah McLachlan

I like most of their music. I tend to like stuff that is just a little "off" to most.

[RevolutionaryActs]

74. I like them too.

:D

[nytemare]

82. Funny thing

I was listening to the radio one day circa '98 and heard "Possession" and loved the song. I bought a few of her cd's, and it was a couple of years later when I found out that Peter Gabriel was one of her favorite artists. I had really been into his music since the early 90's.

His concert was the absolute best. It was visual and audio candy!!

I also have been lucky enough to go to 2 Lilith Fairs, where I got to see Sarah McLachlan, Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Natalie Merchant, Bonnie Raitt, Queen Latifah, just to name a few. Those were great concerts for the 45 dollar tickets!

[RevolutionaryActs]

84. Dang, those sound like great concerts!

All of them. I want to go to a concert. :(

:silly:

[nytemare]

94. I haven't been to one in a while

I need to find a good one!

[Lauri16]

87. Ouch! How could I forget Peter Gabriel??

I'm one of those people that liked him WAY more than Phil Collins.

[nytemare]

95. I loved Phil Collins, but not as much as Gabriel

Phil was the neighbor kind of dude, Gabriel's music was very deep.

[AlCzervik]

78. For the past 20 or so years The Cure and The Smith and Morrisey

have been with me and now my 10 year old daughter is a huge fan as well. I wouldn't call it an obsession but i've tended to stick with about the 10 artists in my lifetime, i listen to lots of other music but those mentioned are always available on every piece of audio equiptment i own.

[RevolutionaryActs]

79. That's cool.

It's good to have staples. :D

[loro mi dicevano]

88. I have a WAY disproportionate number of Frank Sinatra songs on my

playlist, and more Billy Joel CDs than any other artists (and I wondered why I didn't fit in at my old high school!). I also have a lot of stuff by Rilo Kiley, Articolo 31 (Italian) and O-Zone - yes, "that one Romanian band" that sings the song that some guy made a video of himself lipsynching to. :P

[mvd]

90. I have to say that I have a lot of favs and rarely get

obsessed. Hard to get obsessed when I have so many CDs. I could say that I have more Beatles on my iPod than anything else.

Of course, I get the occassional song stuck in my head, or one I listen to a lot for a time. Right now, it's "Portions For Foxes" by Rilo Kiley.

[KFC]

91. Come In Alone - MBV

Most songs on Loveless are great

[sakabatou]

92. Seatbelts

Pillows, L'Arc en Ciel, some other ones...

[liberal43110]

93. Duran Duran

:bounce:

[nytemare]

96. I used to have my walls plastered with them as a kid

I just loved their music..LOL.

[Kaldis]

97. Elvis

Bow to the King, baby.

[Malikshah]

98. Lara Fabian & Linda Eder

And know, I'm not a middle-aged New York woman or a Lillith Faire refugee ("That's not funny")

I'm a warm-blooded gay male who loves a good voice and someone who knows how to sing in such a way that you add syllables to the word "sing"--or who sings in such a way that you don't even call it singing, but rather refer to it as a necessary bodily function. :)

But I'm not obsessesssssssed.

[Floogeldy]

99. Yes, The Roches, Eagles

You might ask, "Eagles? How could you like that shit?"

Well, I really respected their striving for perfection; and they so often almost achieved it. They didn't use a lot of tricks and processing. They really could perform well. And you can't argue with successful songwriting.

My band did some recording in the studio where they recorded the rhythm tracks to The Long Run, and we got to hear some tracks recorded five piece live. They strived to be real and I have always appreciated that.

B-)

[name not needed]

100. Turbonegro

Download some of their stuff. Now.

[sundog]

102. Thievery Corporation, Lemon Jelly, Mamas & Papas, Antonio Carlos Jobim

[bbernardini]

104. Zappa, Rundgren, Mike Keneally, Stuart Davis, Porcupine Tree,Kevin Gilbert

[ikojo]

105. I am primarily obsessed with the Grateful Dead

in its many incarnations.

I also like the Monkees...flame away...

Other than that I can't think of any other musical obsessions at the moment.
