VAN MORRISON: Into The Mystic: MP3 Downloads
1 recommendation
"BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! (I'm shaking you by the shoulders uncontrollably) One of my favorite songs of all time. I will go as far as to say one of the best songs in the galaxy. I want to fly off into the afterlife on the back of a white dragon leaving glitter in my wake while this song playing."
PETER GABRIEL: Here Comes The Flood: MP3 Downloads
1 recommendation
"Yes, here comes the flood. Just a piano and The Gabriel. A great, gushy, reflective song by the man who puts out an album every seven years. Now that's scrutiny!"
SUFJAN STEVENS: Rake: MP3 Downloads
1 recommendation
"This song is so good and moves me so much that i skip it whenever it comes on. And that sucks because I LIKE the song and want to hear it. I'd have to go through the troublesome task of taking out my "emotion" chip first. Sigh."
JOAN ARMATRADING: Down To Zero: MP3 Downloads
1 recommendation
"Joan Armatrading is the ish! This songs makes my heart ache with joy! A song that makes me feel vulnerable and on top of the world is grade A amazing."
SINEAD O'CONNOR: Last Day Of Our Acquaintance: MP3 Downloads
1 recommendation
"I admire Sinead O'Connor. She's got a fire and ferocity in her spirit and does her own thing passionately. This song demonstrates all those qualities. Awesome song about lost love. Hey, sometimes it just doesn't work out."
To Be Of Use: MP3 Downloads: Smog
1 recommendation
"Garrrghh. My cold heart can't take it. If you're by yourself on a rainy day, wandering the streets feeling utterly alone, don't listen to this song. It's quiet, beautiful and contemplative song."
TOM WAITS Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets To The Wind In Copenhagen): MP3 Downloads
1 recommendation
"People either love or hate Tom Waits. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he sounds like he gargles shards glass every morning. This song is amazing. The contrast of his signature gravelly voice combined with this touching song is a perfect match."
BONNIE 'PRINCE BILLY – The Way: MP3 Download
2 recommendations
"Looking for a sad ass love song? Well look no further. The master of somber, bleakness, singer/songwriter Bonnie Prince Billy has done it again. All joking aside, this song is really beautiful."
Welcome to the Cruel World: Ben Harper: Music
2 recommendations
"It's the second album from Ben Harper and was released in the early nineties. Most of the songs on this one are significantly less recognizable than those on Fight for Your Mind. However, I think they do a beautiful job setting the stage for the subsequent album. Best tracks: waiting on an angel, mama's got a girlfriend now"
PETER GABRIEL: I Grieve (MP3 Download)
1 recommendation
"This song twists me into knots. Beautiful and painful all at the same time. But don't worry, the song takes an upbeat optimistic turn in the end. I love a song that makes me go from despair to bliss in 8 minutes (yes, 8!) If you need to get over something painful real quick, this song is a must listen!"
PETER GABRIEL: Intruder (MP3 Download)
1 recommendation
"I buy all Peter Gabriel's new albums without hesitation. He releases an album about every 7 years, so you know he's scrutinizing his work like crazy. I admire his integrity and poignance and it comes out in his music. This is a great song from the 80's. Very eerie. (Ignore the cover art. This song not from that album)"
PHIL COLLINS: Long Long Way To Go (MP3 Download)
1 recommendation
"I'm no Phil Collins fanatic, just a lover of great music of all genres. I absolutely love this song. And I will always have respect for him despite the number of atrocious Disney songs he cranks out by the dozens. Hey, whatever pays the bills. Long Long Way To Go is the highlight of No Jacket Required (also an amazing album in general). (Listen out for Sting on the backup vocals)"
DAVID BYRNE: Grown Backwards
1 recommendation
"I haven't been too excited by David Byrne's recent albums with the exception of Grown Backwards. This is a great album that reminds me of why I like David Byrne. Track Favorites: Tiny Apocalypse Au Fond du Temple Saint Glass Concrete and Stone"
J.J. Cale: Troubadour
1 recommendation
"Cale is an amazing singer/ songwriter who penned a lot of popular songs for artists like Eric Clapton and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Classic rock icon. His songs on this album have a classic rock, funk, country and blues feel. Fav tracks: "Let Me Do it To You" "Hey Baby" "Ride Me High""
Donovan: The Hurdy Gurdy Man
1 recommendation
"I'm a sucker for folk music from the 60's and 70's. And the Fall is when I through away my Metrocard and hoof it all over the city. Crisp cool breezes, golden yellows, browns and folk music on my ipod. This is one of my favorite albums. Fav Tracks: "Hurdy Gurdy Man" "Peregrine" "As I Recall It" "Get They Bearings"- AMAZING SONG! "The River Song" "A Sunny Day" "Teas" "West Indian Lady""
David Poe: The Late Album
1 recommendation
"This is an great sleepy little Indie Pop album. I don't know why David Poe didn't become more popular. Favorite Tracks: "The Late Song (Je Ne Suis Pas Mort)" "Childbearing Bearing" "Wear Your Best" "Drifter" "Never I Will" "Love Won't Last the Afternoon (Lullaby)" That's essential 2/3rds of the album"
Ray LaMontagne: Trouble
2 recommendations
"Like Damien Rice, this singer songwriter's music is hauntingly beautiful and will stomp on your heart. Great stuff. Just have a listen to: "Burn" and "All the Wild Horses". The more upbeat "Trouble" is one of my favorites as well."
Bright Eyes: Fevers And Mirrors
1 recommendation
"At the tender age of 20 Conor Oberst, poet, singer, songwriter and founder of the band Bright Eyes, released Fevers and Mirrors, an outstanding compassionate and angst ridden indie folk album. Oberst is pretty much a musical genius who at age 14 fronted the band Commander Venus. His musical maturity is outstanding and makes you wonder what is up with all the popular whiny 30-something rock bands ..."
HAROLD AND MAUDE SOUNDTRACK: LP
2 recommendations
"Another great limited edition release from Vinyl Films. Pushing 40 years, this Cat Stevens compilation has often been considered one of the best of all times. Here's the kicker, until this year fan boys have been scrambling to compile it themselves. Without further adieu, for the first time ever... the acclaimed Harold & Maude soundtrack. Not that it's a bad thing (in fact, it's a great thing), bu..."
Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain
3 recommendations
"The best part of the movie was the soundtrack (I'll admit the acting was sub-par at best). Fave tracks- I Would Die 4 U, Purple Rain, The Beautiful Ones, Baby I'm A Star"
Tidal: Fiona Apple: Music
5 recommendations
"Thank god I had Fiona Apple to help me block out everyone else's blaring Alanis my freshman year of college..."
Hallelujah: MP3 Downloads: Jeff Buckley
2 recommendations
"Just downloaded this myself. You may have first heard this on the soundtrack of Shrek. Jeff has a wonderful voice. I like the "live in concert" versions better but whether you choose the album cut or live, its a winner."
On Your Sleeve - Jesse Malin
1 recommendation
"This CD is Jesse Malin (amazing solo artist and former singer of D Generation) having a great time covering songs of artists that have influenced him. His influences are also many of mine (the Ramones, Rolling Stoes, Clash, Lou Reed) to name a few! I especially love his version of Walk on the Wild Side."
Going Somewhere: Colin Hay
2 recommendations
"If you listen to Colin Hay, you may find yourself wondering where you've heard that voice before. He was the lead singer for Men at Work. Now he's the mellow lead singer of his own, much-less-well-known band. His new style is much more introspective, and it still speaks to me as much as "I come from a land down under" ever did."
PJ Harvey - Is This Desire?
1 recommendation
"There hasn't been a PJ Harvey album that I didn't love, but this one is often overlooked by fans and critics alike. Best for late night driving, with the volume up real loud so you can feel the bass and hear all of the many layers of voice and rhythm."
Pink Moon Album by Nick Drake
4 recommendations
"His voice is so beautiful intertwined with lovely melodies and incredible lyrics and you get only the most intriguing music created by a man who was more a dream than a person."
Glitter in the Gutter
1 recommendation
"I was a huge fan of DGeneration, the band that Jesse Malin fronted in the 90's (part glam, part punk, all cool). He's turned into an amazing singer songwriter (not as heavy stuff as DGeneration here, but cool nonetheless). This CD is getting a lot of time in my CD player these days. My fav. track right now is In the Modern World (it was also a past "Coolest Song of the Week" a few weeks ago on my ..."
