Friday music thread

[Burt]

This week, I have been mostly listening to Chrissie Hynde's new album "Valve Bone Woe".

Imagine dingy, smoke-filled jazz club and you're on the right track. Great album.

[Mickeyboro]

The first Pretenders album is still unimprovable!

Unimpressed by her autobiography but will give this a go.

[RaySmith]

Soounds great Burt. I like Chrissie Hynde, she's great,  love her voice, and has made some great records. Great that she's still making  good music.
But I've only seen her live on stage with Bob Dylan at Brixton Academy in the 90's, as an impromptu enthusiastic  backing singer.

I'm not very well up on the modern music scene,  but have been listening to a lot of Joni Mitchel lately.
Her song River is one of my all time  favourite songs-

Aussie Courtney Barnett is a modern singer /songwriter i like.

[Whitestone]

Went to see Vampire Weekend who played some of the old favourites like Oxford Comma and A-Punk along with a lot of stuff from the latest album Father of the Bride.

[Buffalo76]

The Black Crowes are back after the Robinson brothers kissed and made up. They're celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album Shake Your Money Maker next year by playing US shows. Fingers crossed they'll come over to the UK at some point again. Well worth checking out for anyone not already familiar with this superb band.

Got tickets to see the great John Prine in Manchester  in February. He's been very ill, so  likely won't have another chance to see him.
His classic, Sam stone, seems a fitting song for  Armistice week-

Just listening and watching "The Byrd's" singing "My Back Pages"... Dylan's song but Byrd's Version is tops.

[Mince n Tatties]

Followed by "Brian Wilson".." Somewhere Quiet".

I saw the prodigy this time last year. Glad I did now.
The Specials at hammersmith apollo about 5 years ago will still go down as one of the greatest gig of all time.

Saw Prodigy a few times - best was about 11 years ago at the Brixton Academy - brilliant!!

"Valve Bone Woe" is really nice. I am imagining low lights, roaring fire and a nice bottle of merlot.

Nice list, though not familiar with some of those artists.  Nice to see Monkees got a mention.  They actually put out some very good music, in my opinion, though considered a bubblegum poppy type of band.  Hot hot hot great tune.  Loved a lot of Bowie's work, Rebel rebel a great song, but I've always enjoyed Space Oddity and Suffragette City much more, or anything on the Ziggy album.  Saw Tina Turner back in the day when Ike was running the band.  Great show.  Still think one of all time great videos and songs was the Killers When You Were Young.

Nice list.  Fun to chat about off topic (football) things during this break.

[OldBrownShoe]

The new Christie Hynde.
Have had the album for a few weeks. Simply superb and highly recommended! :HD:

[Cutler]

I'm in Bristol tonight to see Blood Red Shoes at the Thekla. Brilliant atmospheric club (which is a converted boat).
But back to the original post, the pretenders are still a great band to see.  082.gif

Adorable : Creation records act 1992-94, two albums, highest chart placing #70. Saw the final date of their 25th anniversary reunion tour two weeks back. Greatest rock band of all time (notwithstanding music is perhaps the most subjective form of art and some people may not agree with my statement).

[bobbo]

Just played a few of the tunes listed on this post and replies. Good sounds .

I've always been heavily into the music of James Taylor and been to the states to see him numerous times.
Anyone want to try " like everyone she knows " long intro but I love this tune.

Footnote :- I had Christie hynd at my desk years ado at lhr , she wouldn't speak to me did it all through her roadie .  Her choice I guess.

[Russianrob]

Palestrina, Mozart,Bach and modern composer Avre Part.

[bobbo]

OMG . Why didn't we have Spotify late fifties/early sixties.
