An album that brings back a lot of memories because I happend to be in New York city in the crowd at the Ritz when a lot of it was recorded is "Urgh, A music War!"

When Klaus Nomi hit the stage in his Kabuki Space man get up with the falsetto voice doing "Total Eclipse" the place went Ape Sh!t!!!!!!!!!!

Commander Codyand His Lost Planet Airmen, "Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers Favorites"

Black Mountain - Black Mountain

Just an add to my previous list
Drive By Truckers
Cowboy Junkies

Also it seems I'm not the only one who thinks Ryan Adams work is top notch!

If I'm driving to or from fishing and need to keep awake, I listen to stuff that probably no one here would recognize.
Rocket From the Crypt (favorite is RIP live)
The Misfits
John Spencer Blues Explosion

If I'm just going for a long drive, I'll listen to just ablout anything from Phish, Allman Bros., The Dead, to The Beastie Boys, Weezer and The Foo Fighters. Skin and Bones by the Foo Fighters is a great road trip album IMO.

Surf Punks - My Beach

"The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust" Saul Williams

A current musician that doesn't get nearly the love he should is Martin Sexton. Amazing singer.

Good Albums are Black Sheep, Seeds, The American, Live at Central Park

Have a safe trip.

Anything by Bruce Springsteen or Bob Seger. Always in my car

Sebadoh (album Bakesale)

album
 

It depends on the mood I'm in

Reflecting on my youth would be "Live Dead" recorded in Filmore in 69 or anything like that

If it's a Blue mood it's Buddy Guy live at the Checkerboard Lounge in Chicago in the 60's

Relaxing would be Essential Miles Davis

Grand Funk Railroad

Johnny Cash "Live from Folsom Prison"
Screamin Jay Hawkins "Cow fingers and Mosquito pie"
BB King "The best of BB King"
Squirrel Nut Zippers "Perennial Favorites"
Big Audio Dynamite "This is Big Audio Dynamite"

Local bands are:
The Spurs, The Cranktones, The Coachmen, Lovewhip, Babaloo

Some of my local favorites from back in the 80's:
The New Models, Face to Face, Private Lightening, Ministry (before Al Jurgenson's acid induced music), Adam Ant, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode (Before the bands depression phase). I was a true alternative / punk rock kid, but I love ALL types of music (except rap, which I don't consider music).

Bluegrass- Tales form the Acoustic Planet and Tales form the Acoustic planet Volume 2 The bluegrass sessions. Anything with Tony Rice on guitar
Celtic- Anything by Patrick Street or Lunasa
Blues- Gary Moore - After Hours or anything by Johnny Guitar Watson
Jazz- The word is out, Jaco Pastorius Big Band -Awesome album
Classic Rock- without a doubt - Quadrophenia
Passion Play and Thick as Brick - Tull
Guitar music- Danny Gatton's ,88 Elmira- Scott Hendrson's -Torn Down House
Joe Jackson- Live album Summer in the City
Blown to Smithereens- The best of the Smithereens
and of course any thing Frank did .
No punk. I was going to recommend the Dead Kenndy's
If you need a copy of any of them I can burn you one:kewl:.

Soooo many favs above, but most stuff you know of. And maybe I like Al's that acid induced music. Most of this has got to be stuff you know of though. Some no (bravo), most yes (but bravo still, because it is great stuff for the most part). I would have to say (for stuff you don't know or maybe should not know, ha ha) Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band (as well as with the Black Stockings and For Crying Out Loud), Blotto, Bebop Delux, Television, the Toasters, Wesley Willis (maybe you shouldn't, but a fav of Jello Biafra since Prof M mentioned Kenedys), and last but far from least (actually all you RI folks should know) the Amazing Royal Crowns. Don't even get me started on Punk and Jazz man! Because I will be throwing Nick Brignolla and Anti Heros and the likes at ya!!!! Music is life! (except when fishing is life).

Showin our age...
 

Traffic - John Barlycorn Must Die
Delany & Bonnie with Eric Clapton
Tom Rush - No Regrets
Early Emmylou Harris

Leftover salmon Euphroia. Cool bluegrassy jam stuff.

is Bababloo still around? haven't seen them in 7 yrs, just got out of the loop a little on local Boston scene

uh......remind me to read the thread title next time. :smash:

Anything by the band Karate is pretty unknown and really good.

Dave Van Ronk- Sunday Street Album


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aNsl5P_7n0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RghYYmpaaKI&NR=1
Not off the album but performance unmatched

anything from Clutch.
Porno for Pyros-Good Gods Urge.just something about the album has a great being on the water vibe.
..and up until this past Monday the Punk station(channel 29) on Sirius.changed over to 24hrs of AC/DC.nothing wrong with AC/DC but 24/7.:fury:

nice, there are definitely some bands on here I have NEVER heard of as well as some that I know but wouldn't have thought of. That's what i was looking for... good stuff.

Anything Ramones....Gabba Gabba Hey

"I Don't Wanna Be A Pinhead No More"

In my CD player right now are:

Disturbed

3 Days Grace

Chris Daughtry

Evanessence

Green Day

wow so many people on this site listen to solid tunes! I too listen to all kinds of stuff and many times it seems to be weather dependent. Like as soon as it gets nice I have the urge to open windows and crank the Allman Brothers. Right now I have been on a big reggae kick and have been playing a lot of Peter Tosh, Bob Marley and Toots. Always have at least one dead disk, and one phish disk (or 3) in the player.

For a little different bluegrass try Old Crow Medicine Show. I also really like older REM.

For those of you who like live stuff try nugs.net - even some great shows in the "free stash" section.

That all said I NEVER listen to music while actually fishing, just to and from.

Rodney Carrington is pretty funny if your looking for a laugh or two.

From shore that's definitely the case for me. I just feel like I need to be focused completely on what I'm doing once I'm fishing, but I have never tried listening to music while fishing from shore so I'm sure it could be done.

From the boat though I often have something playing in the background.

Oh- that no one knows?
Stormin Norman and Suzy - Ocean of Love (fun, torchy)
Blind Boys of Alabama - Gospel
Paul Butterfield Blues Band
Al Kooper/Mike Bloomfield Super Sessions
Joe Satriani double CD
Old Laura Nyro with Patti Labelle - you won't be sorry....

This is great - it'll keep me busy for awhile....thanks!

But never when fishing...I need to be at oneness with the all.....

Here are a few more semi unknown I thought of last nite while I listened to them

Sea Level
Les Dudek
Steel Pulse
Nickle Creek
Cyrus Chestnut
Andy Narell
I like anything Bloomfield and Kooper did

I'm beginning to think the professor and I are musical twins separated at birth, except for the lack of "unknown" Jersey stuff (but don't worry, I won't go there my New England bretheren). How's about the Unseen and the Seldom Seen. But be very careful of which is which. Maybe about one half of one percent would listen to both, and the others would be quite upset by one or both of these (hint hint, one is bluegrass and one is punk). Come on come on, more unkowns, more more more..... I love this stuff.

There's a guy from Hanson, Ma named Joe Merrick who makes some really great road trip music. Kinda similar to ABB. His sound ranges from rock to folk to country-ish stuff.

Fury And the Slaughterhouse

An old album I break out everyonce in a while check em out on youtube

Seldom Scene are great. Unknown Jersey stuff. I don't get it. Over my head I guess, I am short. Smithereens are from Jersey i think if that is what you were eluding too. Oh well explain . I am kind of slow.

Let see unknown. Umm

Danny Gatton is the greatest unknown guitarist ever as I have said many other times.
Bluegrass - Del McCory is nice. New Grass Revival is great. That is where I first heard Bela Fleck play
Anything Pat Metheny does. No one writes and arranges music like him. Nearly perfection IMO.
Blues - John Bonnamassa is fantastic. Watermellon Slim is cool. Smokin Joe Kubeck

Loud - Scott Henderson, Mattias Eklundh , Andy Timmons, Richie Kotzen , Greg Howe or both of them together, even better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W0sH...eature=related

Mike Stern, style all his own

Dixie Dregs and anything Steve Morse has done or will ever do. I saw the Dixie Dregs many times long ago.

Everything Larry Carlton has ever done.
Jazz #1 all time fav. Kind of Blue - Miles
Scott Whitfields Jazz Orchestra - great modern big band stuff
Acoustic - I know no one has ever heard of these guys
Andy Mckee and Don Ross
Here is a great site I use to buy stuff from. You can find lots of unknowns here http://www.candyrat.com/default.aspx

That should keep you busy for a while. When you digest those I will get some more. Don't forget to reciprocate.
Jethro Tull is on the menu tonite at work. Where I work I can blast the tunes all nite so I am constantly searching for stuff. I luv to play stuff that I once listen too years ago but got away from. Bring back the memories. Have a good one. Paul

Professor, I'm shocked to see you list Pulse. Nice call
Hendrix Band of Gypsies is a somewhat obscure incredible live show.
If 60's were 90's also a great listen.
Keith Richards first solo effort was a serious beatdown. Main Offender I think.

Steel Pulse is fantastic. Probably my favorite Reggae band of all. I saw them twice. Great show even if you could barely see the stage from the mary jane smoke in the air. True Democracy is a great album.

Taj Mahal - Mo Roots

Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Animal

Early Bowie (i.e. Diamond Dogs, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars)

Couple of Great Soundtracks - "The Commitments" or "The Last Waltz"

Stereophonics:grins:
