For all you music fans - this is where you can waffle away to your heart's content about all things music!
Just bought a new album & can't wait to share your thoughts on it? Write a review here for other musically-minded TOGs!
Got a bit of a song stuck in your brain & it's driving you mad 'cos you can't remember what it is? See if someone else can work it out from your clues!
Just wanna talk about what you love & what you can't stand, musically-speaking? Do it here so we can all join in!

What a great idea for a thread Dinah!
I had 'Campbeltown Loch' running round my head this morning and can't find any clips of Andy Stewart singing it.

I'm afraid the only thing I can remember Andy Stewart singing was #Donald Where's Your Troosers#, but I do remember him on New Years Eve programmes, it doesn't seem the same without him.
Bought three albums recently, Elbow 'The Seldom Seen Kid', Coldplay 'Viva La Vida' and REM 'Accelerate'. The first two remind me of later Floyd albums, and I had to listen to REM quite a few times before I could get a handle on it, but it will do until the next one comes along. Playing Elbow to death though.

Wonderful mood music.... Lullaby in Ragtime by Harry Nilsson from 'A little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night. A truly wonderful album which again, will not appeal to everyone. Years ago, two jobs - office in the daytime, pub at night. I landed home at 11.30pm in time to see this album being made in a prog on BBC2. Harry Nilsson and the Gordon Jackson orchestra. Quite a combination. I searched for months and months but found it eventually. Every one a gem. I copied it to tape for my boss because it so needed sharing......he hated it. Ho hum. xx

Well we got here eventually Dinah... This thread will run and run.. Music is the food of bla bla bla...
With you on the new Elbow album Faye... Their first two albums were humdingiers.. And are rarely out of my most played c.d pile..
The last few years i'v really been getting into the "new" folk scene. Just cant stop listening to Martha Tilston's "Of Milkmaids and Achitechs". Her voice is haunting and her musicianship is enveyable... But the way that she writes.. Overtones of Joni Mitchell, Maddy Prior and Kirsty McCall... It's so lovely to be able to hear good "English" music coming to the fore again.. To be honest i have become a little tierd of trying to sound American of late.. Something i feel that Coldpaly is guilty of.. They seem to rely heaverly on studio production techniec's..
You will, I'm afraid have to put up with my banging on about Bob Dyal.. To my mind one of the most influensial musicians that has ever lived.. Regardles of his singing ability's..
Great to have a place to rattle on about my 2nd favourite subjuect...

Thanks for the clicky MM, you're brilliant - of course I remember the song now, and I also remember his 'Scottish Soldier' - makes me laugh because the husband used to have to sing it to his family when he was little - for entertainment! Nuala, Harry N. - love him - got a 'best of' album, played a lot. Bob Dylan - we're not worthy, got a some of his early stuff including 'The Songs of BD' where various artists sing his songs, one of my favs being 'Lay Lady Lay' Hoyt Axton, and of course 'Mr Tambourine Man' The Byrds - classic stuff. Slinky, one of things I love about Elbow is they sing in a northern accent - rather than American, - how come so much English pop music is done in an 'American' accent? Now my most favourite of all - George Harrison - he sung northern! and what about the Traveling Wilburys? Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and George H. A true super groop. (speaking of G Lynn, we saw ELO Parts I & II recently at Wycombe Swann - without Lynne of course, but they were very good, brought the house down).

Where's the created art? What am I missing here? Music is created art just as much as photography.

HEY thanks for this New thread, slightly different but I did ask before if any one was involved here with am drama as I am We do a panto a musical and a play a year, and I love how old songs/music from films and shows we get to use, this year I am being allowed to direct a one act play called Hullabaloo, and then after the interval a selection of songs from musicals we have done from the last 20yrs, it was such a treat to choose which to do some you may not have heard of like the assassins song from "Blondel" and This is The Moment from " Jekyll and Hide" both new favorites , This is how it will run
"Comedy to night" "Any thing you can do" "Two Ladies" "Some Enchanted Evening" "Brush up your Shakespeare" "Secret Love" "The Boyfriend" "Your The Tops" "Adelines Lament" "This is the Moment" "Make um Laugh" "Where Is Love" "The Assassins song" " there's no Business like Show Business"

Should the reminding of songs from films/ musicals bring back a happy or poignant thought is that not enough merit for this thread to exist? Creativity starts with a thought never with sarcasm , and nerves built like steel to perform to a world of critics of which there are millions
Don't knock the amateur, It was amateur that built the ark
professionals built the Titanic

Wow I'm impressed at all the songs you've all written. COLIN: For your information, we asked the mods for a music board, where like-minded TOGs can discuss music they love. We were advised that, as there are already a great many different boards, we should post as part of a thread on the Creative Arts board. We are happy to go with this suggestion for now and, hopefully, if enough people show an interest, we may get our own music board in the future. Some of us, who enjoy music, believe it to be one of the creative arts. With all due respect, if you are not one of those people and/or you have no interest in this thread, why are you bothering to post here?

Well said ladies, music is an art form, (how would Colin classify it?) and sits well in the Creative Arts Section.
Now back to music - anyone miss Top Of The Pops?

Gawd, yes! End of an era when it finished!
At least we still have Jools Holland, who does usually have at least one interesting artist on each show. Without him, we'd be stuck with Yoof Music - which I wouldn't mind if they would just get rid of all the Rap, which I just don't get.
