Rather than the frequent "Best song" or "top 5 songs", "fav song" threads, the idea here is to post a link to a song on youtube (or any other hosting site). Doesn't have to qualify as your fav song ever, just something that you enjoy listening to and want to share.

Give the artist, the title and a link.

Let me get things going with the Van Morrison classic Into the Mystic, enjoy.

Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralized
So serene on the screen
You were mesmerised
Cellular phones soundin' a death tone

Great idea, 98elite! :D Here's one of my fave videos from 1984. I was living in New England when I first saw it on TV, six years after leaving Thurso. I could hardly believe my eyes when the video opened with a view of the Old Man of Hoy! It's "Here Comes The Rain Again" by the Eurythmics.

Mnaah, I heard a lot of people raving about them and Taz has been trying to get me to liste to more. Its very boring, sure its technical, and they can play their instruments, but its very boring, if this was their first song at that concert I woud left half way through it and been in a pub listening to the Doors on the Wurlitzer before they got to the end of their erm, arrangment? If they would just remove half the notes from the song it woudl sond so much better. Each to his own though, I can recognise it as being well written for progressive music, but for me it goes nowhere and is dull.

One of my favorite ever folk bands is OUTBACK, a fusion of Australian, Celtic and African musics, really brilliant and found one of the best tracks BAKA on youtube... not a good quality video though.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Sg3B57pm85Y

A aband that became an offshoot of Outback was BAKA BEYOND, here is a clip of them Live in Brasil, they lost the Australian influence but musicians from 6 differnt countries in Europe and Africa make for a great sound.

Didn't Steve Reich discover it in 'It's Gonna Rain' (1965) and then use it again in 'Come Out' (1966)?

It was, of course, discovered by accident.

It has always been claimed that the Small Faces were the first but I am not prepared to argue with your obviously superior knowledge. They were, I have always thought, the first group to get into the top twenty using phasing but then again I could be mistaken. Way back in 1967 we young musicians were very taken with the sound of Tin Soldier and I can honestly say that I have never heard of Steve Reich. Who is or was he? Just Googled him and am now enlightened and understand how I didn't know his music in 1967.

Although I enjoyed Annie Lennox as half of the Eurythmics, I think I enjoyed her even more as a solo artist. Her "Diva" album from 1992 was brilliant, and I was also very impressed with "Medusa", which followed in 1995.

"Walking On Broken Glass" was one of my favourite songs and videos from "Diva". I loved the period costumes and the drama! Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich appear in it, with a nod to their respective roles in "Blackadder the Third" and "Dangerous Liaisons".

Itchycoo and Tin Soldier were consecutive single releases, Itchycoo in August 67 and Tin Soldier in December 67. I am pretty certain Itchycoo uses phasing because you can hear it in the part before the chorus, in the drum fills, before "we get hi-igh.... touch the ski-iy ..." etc. Its a slow phase, sounds almost like stereo fading.

Phasing. I am going to try this out very soon

feed a musical signal into 2 seperate reel to reel tape machines & slow one down against the other......that should (hopefully) give me true organic analog phasing

Phasing was also used on Axis Bold As Love from Jimmi Hendrix in fact I think it may have been the title track that used the phasing

Another fave song of mine is "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. I never tire of it, and it brings back memories to me. It was getting very frequent airplay during my last few months in Thurso, 1978, before my husband whisked me off to a life spent overseas. Gerry looks really cool in this video - sort of a cross between John Lennon and Roy Orbison! :cool:

No, Joe was not involved in "Baker Street", but he and Gerry wrote "Stuck In The Middle" together for their band, Stealers Wheel. That was in 1972, the year the band was formed. The band called it quits in 1975, and Gerry cut a solo album, "City To City" in 1978, which included "Baker Street".

I was equally impressed with Stealers Wheel and Gerry Rafferty as a solo artist. Either way, the tunes were extremely catchy, and Gerry's voice was fantastic! :cool:

I like all sorts of music especially Early and Renaissance music and a lot of folk, however I also enjoy some 'deep space' type stuff.

I came across this guy (Dennis Moser) by chance and I think his music is superb. I especially reccomend the track 'Awash in Winter light' (which you can click on in the player). Very evocative title and I think the gentle music fits the title superbly. It's extremely relaxing and thought-provoking.

Mario Frangoulis is another of my fave tenors, and here he is in concert, singing "Nights In White Satin" in Italian. Towards the end, Moody Blues frontman, Justin Hayward, joins him to sing the original version in English....

In my opinion, one of the best female vocalists around is Broadway singer Linda Eder. Many have compared her to Barbra Streisand, but she claims to have been influenced even more by Judy Garland.

The following video is from her PBS special, recorded in 2000. The song is "Someone Like You", which she sang in the Broadway musical "Jekyll & Hyde", the music of which was written by her former husband, composer Frank Wildhorn. He is the pianist in this video, and they were still married at the time.

Here's a rather nice song and video by Marillion. It's called "Easter", and the lyrics were written by the lead singer, Steve Hogarth. I like the guitar solo, too. :)

Here's another terrific new tenor, Gardar Thor Cortes, who hails from Iceland. He's really cool....

Yet another video of Icelandic tenor, Gardar Thor Cortes! In this one, he sings "Luna", featuring Heather Small. I now have his album "Cortes", which is absolutely fantastic! :D He sings an amazing duet "Where The Lost Ones Go", with Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins, on the CD. I would love to see that one on video!
