Nina Simone-"I Put a Spell on You" Charlie Mingus, "Haitian Fight Song" John Lennon, "Imagine" Beethoven, "Ode to Joy" (and whole Ninth Symphony) Chet Baker, "My Funny Valentine"
A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard by Jeremy Messersmith The Dream (from 'Total Recall') by Jerry Goldsmith The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie Somewhere in Time theme by John Barry (in honor of his passing)
Take Five would have been on there if I was at home to see the CD we play twice a week at least. Stephen Foster, what a great choice. Sinatra could have been all five without much trouble.n Ditto Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits. Sean-your list sounds like the list my kids would choose. Got to get more familiar with music from this century. If I had been at home, this list would have differed substantially. But having no music with me, made me think rather than look.
the 5 cds getting most play in car and home right now are Tepid Peppermint Wonderland-Brian Jonestown Massacre High Violet-The National Attack and Release-The Black Keys Kiss Each Other Clean-Iron and Wine Kicking Against the Pricks-Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds(contains the best cover ever of a jimmy Webb song-Nicks version of By the Time I get to Phoenix)

It's true; I don't listen to much new music. By the time I find out I like a piece of music it's usually at least five years old.
I've never heard of 90% of the ones listed here, old fogey that I am. How about:
In My Room--Beach Boys I've Got You Under My Skin--Sinatra The Night Before--The Beatles Fresh Air--Quicksilver Messenger Service My Prayer--The Platters
I've been in a soul music mood lately. I'm listening to GREATEST HITS OF THE SUPREMES, GREATEST HITS OF THE FOUR TOPS, GREATEST HITS OF THE TEMPTATIONS, GREATEST HITS OF MARVIN GAYE, and GREATEST HITS OF ISAAC HAYES (2 volumes).
At this moment: George Russell: ELECTRONIC SONATA FOR SOULS LOVED BY NATURE 1969 Gil Scott-Heron: "Lady Day and John Coltrane" Brubeck Octet: "Rondo" Trusty: "Goodbye, Doctor Fate" Doc Watson: "Walk On, Boy"
Tonight at 8:30 P.M. on a very icy night in New Jersey:
The Franck Symphony in D Minor
Dvorak's Cello Concerto
Beethoven's 6th Symphony
Tonight's the Night by The Shirelles
Dawn Go Away I'm No Good For You by The Four Seasons
Most anything sung by Dick Haymes
Wait, that's 6! Best I can do at the moment. Of course, the list is subject to impulse. Great topic, Patti!
And I too love the Ode to Joy.
Wait, wait, I forgot Gilbert and Sullivan and the Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore and most of the opera Turandot and most any movie score by John Willians, especially Superman, and Brubeck's Take Five and ...!! Fun.
Yeah, the Shirelles. Can't remember who, but someone once said that WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW was the best rock and roll song every. Some days I agree. Some days I pick TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT.
Or maybe WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.
Actually I'm listening to the theme from the film SILVERADO right now.
Forgot too, the Brandenburg Concertos - HOW COULD I??? Ha!
Stephen Foster's "Hard Times Come Again No More" as sung by Side by Side (Doris Justis & Sean McGee).

That's what was tickling my fancy at work today, but in the car on the ride home it was The Four Seasons & Johhny Mathis, so go figure.

ReplyDelete50 year Old Man - The Fall
Post-Break-Up Sex - Vaccines
The Smiles - Bisonics
You're The One - Kate Bush
At Last - Etta James
and five minutes from now a completely different list...

God, THE SHIRELLES. I think they were perhaps my favorite group at age 12 or so. I knew the lyrics to every song.
