Some oldies I enjoy ("Into the Mystic" is a fine one, above): "Bring it on Home" (Sam Cook—really, most of his stuff), "Drift Away" (either version), "The Girl I love She Got Black Wavy Hair" and "The Lemon Song" (Zeppelin)...

Two summers ago, our slideshow was defined by "Song for Another Time."

Last summer, "Old Town Road" (!).

In terms of "summer" music, I just put Spotify on and choose either laid-back country or beach mixes and let 'er run.

Very close, thinking...would you settle on 80 and 82? ��

Black Sabbath "Paranoid"

Aldo Nova "Fantasy"

Todd Rundgren "Hello It's Me"

The Flock "Uranian Sircus" (ah, psychedelics: much enjoyed, much missed: there's no feeling quite like a head full of acid) see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU25BzG6U30[/QUOTE]

Yup! Got those sans The Flock
Hello It's Me is a great tune.

I enjoy too many songs to pick favorites. Find myself often saying "Oh, I love this song!" Here are a few that popped up on my most recent Apple playlist:
It's Gonna Take a Miracle, Deniece Williams
You are Everything, The Stylistics
What You Won't Do for Love, Bobby Caldwell

I do the same. My friends say "You can't love every song".......If I'm playing it then I love it. The songs you listed remind me of "Faces" night club that used to be on Route 2 in Cambridge Mass. Along with Rose Royce "Wishing On a Star", Gap Band and others

I grew up in Melrose Ma. Faces was absolutely one of our "go to places" along with The Ark in Boston, The Palace in Malden, John Martins Manor in Saugus, Deja Vu, Narcissus.
Miss those days

The furthest " south " we ventured was to The Frolics at Salisbury Beach.

No doubt in my mind our paths may have crossed. Was there every weekend in those days.

Dated a gal who lived on Ellsworth Ave for a few years.

I'll send you a PM

After growing up with nearly all the music already named in this thread, figured I'd add selections that are more recent (and completely unfitting considering what folks have listed).


-For relaxing:

Stick Figure - Fire on the Horizon; Sound of the Sea

Sublime with Rome - Take It Or Leave It; Wherever You Go

Steam Powered Giraffe - Honeybee

The various mixes made by Dyalla

Lots of Jack Johnson

Mostly anything from ChilledCow or Chillhop



-For something that requires a little more energy:

Mastodon - Toe to Toes; Steambreather

Ghost - Cirice; Absolution; Faith; Square Hammer

Avatar - Statue of the King; Hail the Apocolypse; The King Welcomes You to Avatar Country


I could have gone with Tool or Alice In Chains or numerous other mainstream rock bands but the 3 bands listed above are a lot of fun to listen to, IMO.

You definitely broke the mold with some of the ones listed. Honestly Alice in Chains is the only one I recognize (and really like) as well as Mad Season.
I will definitely geve them a look.

Thanks

My 24 YO son turned me onto this band last night. This is a great live version but it is jammish- lyrics start at approx 7 minutes in.

We have a vibrant music scene out here in stumptown.

Portlander Katie Lang teamed up with Neko Case and Laura Veirs to create a one time only masterpiece of an album, "Case, Lang and Veirs."

Here's my favorite cut, recorded locally, which helps me keep my eyes on the horizon during these troubled times:

That's fantastic!
It's Pink Floyd meets My Morning Jacket
Man, that symbol beat is awesome. Sounds exactly like a song by Echo And The Bunnymen (If you're familiar)

FNX the pheonix was great
BCN also but a bit more commercial

I asked all 3 of my sons 30, 27, 21, YO about War On Drugs and they all knew it

Have you heard of Fleet Foxes"?
If not, Check them out. Great music

[JEEPONLY]

May be this worked?

Listening to some now, cool!

[NH.Solar]

If you enjoyed War on Drugs, here are a few more newish jam bands that you might want to sample. Most have come to my attention by either Pandora mixes, WMWV (you can pick this great station up clearly across much of the lake), or the music the lifties play at the Profile chair...
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
Spafford
Umphreys Magee
Big Something
String Cheese Incident
Railroad Earth

I will absolutely check these out this weekend up at the camp!
Not sure if you've heard of this band but I've been listening to a lot of "Of Monsters and Men" (OMAM) lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2gXJlSmSU0
Can't get enough of this very talented band from Iceland

If you click on this link listen all the way through the luscious harmonies in the begining to the great jam after and then back to harmony. Absolutely fantastic.

I find bands, unknown to me, to have some interesting names.

There are several online chord chart sites for guitar.

They have alphabetical listings of bands and songs with chords as interpreted by the posters.

"Unusual" does not even begin to describe the names of some of these bands.

I wonder what would happen if the band named "Death by Unga Bunga" ever made it big.

Would a modern day George Martin or Brian Epstein be needed to convince the lads that a different image was in order?

The first school dance I attended was a "battle of the bands".

The cafeteria had a band at each end and a bunch of nerve racked eighth graders in between.

The bands were "Hard Tail" and "Straf".

Curious about the name, I asked one of the members of Straf for an explanation.

He told me "It's farts spelled backwards."

I remember a Boston area band called "Rash of Stabbings"!

Most memorable name: a high school band out of Roselle Park, NJ: "Fireproof Erector Set."

[NH.Solar]

How about "Mike's Big Swinging Thing"? I saw this great band at the Monkey this past year and the year before, and if they come back next year you can be sure I'll be there again!

[dippasan]

My brother was a guitarist in a local band that played around Mass and Southern NH called "Coopers Escape"

That's hilarious!
My son was in a band with some buddies in high school and they were actually pretty darn good. On their way to do their first open mic night they realized they had no name. Because the open mic night was at a library, they quickly came up with the name Dewey and The Decimals.

[Hillcountry]

Funny band names...I was in a band for the better part of 20 years that had practical, meaningful names that conveyed the type of music we played. One iteration was “Rhythm Coalition” then the co-leaders split to do their own thing and the 2nd name was and is still “The Souled Out Show Band”
I quit about 10 years ago (load ins and load outs get old with a 10-12 piece band) but our guitar player had a side project that he called “DCDM” when I
asked what it meant he said “dead cows don’t moo”

[Water Camper]

I've played in numerous bands over the course of my life, not all of the names make sense. Started with The Liverpool Gas Company in High School, then Stone Cross in college, then Sweet Misery, Rick Clement and the King's Cross, Friends, Ulterior Motive, Smokin', Not Quite Right, and currently Bend the Ride.

Don't ask me to explain the meaning behind some of these names, but they made sense at the time.

Hope everyone is staying safe and sane,
Bill
