When that album came out is when I started being told to give them a try. I was in junior high, so didn't really bother with new music because too busy learning to read, play, and write it.Originally Posted by Guisslapp
The difficult thing for me when listening to a band like Rammstein is my synapses start firing like crazy thinking of ways to arrange their songs to fit for marching band or concert band. It's a wonderful drug but I will sometimes get lost in that thought instead of listening.
Whippin' Piccadilly - Gomez
Some original versions that were outstripped by later versions but are still interesting:
That Linda Lyndell story is interesting but sad. She left the industry after receiving threats from the Klan for being a white woman who sounded too "black."
Porcupine Trees - Train
Ain't nothing wrong with a mushy love song once in a while.
God Gave Me You - Dave Barnes
It's true of almost all music, but the mix on this really suffers on computer speakers or ear buds.
Can you imagine being a kid hearing this song now? "Why do you need a couple dollars change to call Baton Rouge and what's an Operator?"
Porcupine Tree one of my favorites.
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here Live
WWDog
La Tech
Region and hyphen free since 1894!
Flagship of the University of Louisiana System
That's not bad.
I looked them up after hearing Mark Farner (of all people) talk about them on a podcast.
I think I've posted this one before. Kris Kristofferson doing Quinn the Eskimo.
Patty Griffin - Let Him Fly
RIP, SOPHIE.

One of the best regional bands of all-time from Louisiana. This is "LeRoux", a/k/a "Louisiana's LeRoux".
I always like the a cappella intro on this one, and the raging piano in the middle eight.
