Okay..I know..I've lost the run of myself...but I thought would be interesting to know what kind of stuff we are all listening to these days! Maybe get some ideas for new CD's to buy..or dare I say it..Chrissy pressies...hehehe!! To start the ball rolling... I'm listening a lot to Thom Yorke's debut solo effort The Eraser at the moment..listen to quite a lot of different stuff..but that album seems to get played more than any other at the moment...  ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

I've got the new Mogwai album Mr Beast on a loop for the past few weeks, it is kickin'... they are fantastic, not sure if many people know of 'em. Went to see them in the Olympia a good few years back and was v impressed. I know they played the Electric Picnic recently but I couldn't make it down. They have such a great sound, sonic landscape type stuff with amazing huge kick ass guitar breaks after great build ups! I think any ex Grover would love 'em.

Em.. I got out my Zeppelin albums the other day, a break from The Tweenies (I have a 2 yr old girl). When I go walking in the evenings I blast out Led Zep 11 and Led Zep IV. I am very partial to Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction". I still think that is one of the best albums ever. On the other side of me, I have been playing Madonna's "Confession's On A Dancefloor". Great for a boogie, the track's are all upbeat, great party album i'd reckon. I also love Bic Runga and The Cardigans. ------------- Never Again on a school night! Famous last words |

Funny enough.. Been listening to a lot of prog rock of late! Meep! So Yes, Rainbow, Van Halen, Foreigner, Ram Jam, Boston, Fleetwood Mac.. you get the picture eh! Basically a lot of the old old Grove Classics.. Now where did I put my Stevie Nicks album - I just love her!

Think a lot of us Ex-Grovers seem to be like that Orla. I know a lot of the people I hung around with were into other musical types. Some of my best mates were Mods and Rudeboys and Punks..so as well as the stuff I was in to I listened to the likes of The Jam, The Kinks, Small Faces, Madness, The Specials, Desmond Dekker, The Clash, The Buzzcocks...and I still love to listen to that kinda stuff now...like you say...is healthy to have a diverse musical collection. There's very little music that I wont try these days.....cept maybe Country and Irish..I draw the line there...hehehe.... Lately listenening to a LOT of Radiohead and I adore Thom Yorke's album The Eraser..kinda getting more into experimental electronic music..soundscape sorta stuff...so looking for recommendations actually...

Sorry guys, can't hack that Black Betty song. Rock 'n Roll by Led Zeppelin. YES  Thanks Lorri re James Blunt........."High" just hit a chord with me. Over the years, and they're many at this stage, a song just catches you regardless of who sings it or whether its a hit or not. I have many singles that I bought on the hearing of a song that never charted and was never heard of again. I LISTEN to music and am not interested in videos and hype re this and that. If I hear a song I like I'll take to it and don't care what anyone thinks  Each to his own and always enjoy your music.

I saw them a few years back in the Point...but have to admit..was only cos I got freebies. I used to be a big Quo fan when I was a teenager..but really..in the last 15-20 years they have just become a joke band in my opinion. The first half of the set was great..they played all the old stuff from Hello and On the Level and Piledriver...but the second half was pure rock and roll cabaret...in the bad sense of the word... And in my mind...a "rock band" who have barely a slow song in their set list and who's concert is all seated are suspect to say the least..

Talking heads were probably the first non mainstream heavy rock/blues bands which I got hooked into as a result of going to the Grove. Cecil only played the one song (Psycho Killer ... if I recall) by them but I got most of their albums on vinyl at one stage and went regularly in early college years to the Ambassador where they had these mad "Stop making sense" showings every Saturday. The atmosphere was great ... not as sublime as the Grove but getting there ... Some mad antics too.

Hey hey young lady. Quo, in my experience over the years, are one of the best "live" bands ever.Also "Piledriver" and "Hello" are classic albums. Cecil himself played them all the time. Also their 1977 album Quo Live is regarded by many pundits as a classic live album. And Quo took John Fogerty's "Rockin All Over The World" to worldwide recognition, althought most people think it's a Quo song. Quo....oh oh oh ho.........Quo..oh..oh.oh..oh Rock on the Quo. Go for it Rolo..... ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

| No T, what happened was that Pat did the same post twice,either side of your Steely Dan Post. Hence the confusion. |

Yeah I thought about "Do it again" - great song but it's quite long so that is what made me think perhaps not! ------------- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." |

Sorry Pat for dissing your band. I'm sure they were the biz in the early years but I do think that they should have finished maybe at their peek. I am sure there are many out there die hard fans that would disagree though. ------------- Never Again on a school night! Famous last words |

With you all the way with Pretzel Logic Russell.. The Donald Fagen solo album "The Nightfly" (1982) is good stuff too (probably way too mellow and jazzy for Grove material) but one thing you could always be sure of on Steely Dan or successors of that band was fantastic musicianship. They had these great session guitarists who were very slick indeed. The jazz crossover stuff in their later work mightn't me to everyones taste but they're a class act (as Padraig Flynn might say )------------- Ian - Grover '81-'84 Exiled to Mayo since 2005 |

Ah Ian
Agree with you , nightfly was a fantastic work. Did you ever see the classic album documentarys ? last year 'can't buy a thrill' and the making of it was shown. some fantastic old footage was shown.....fantastic guitar work on all the albums ,slick is not strong enough a word isn't that right Rolo ?

No Russ, I haven't seen any Dan documentaries. I must seek them out. slight aside : The most interesting (but sad) rock documentary I saw lately was the BBC one about Syd Barrett's life and times. Some really moving stuff in that... and gosh his solo stuff was really off the wall (no pun intended)... I've got no CDs or stuff with the old Floyd (Barrett era) on it though... ------------- Ian - Grover '81-'84 Exiled to Mayo since 2005 |

I've seen that footage too .... ah well When you think of all the great names that have passed on from a great era Joplan , Hendrix , Barrett, boland, lynott ....the list goes on We won't mention all the jazz musicains who have passed on as it's just too sad........for example people like Billy Holiday and Chet Baker.. need I say more ??

Ah ..found the thread...so .... Picked up Talking Heads - The Name of This Band Is ...as discussed earlier in this thread ..in HMV Blanch for a very reasonable €8.99. It's a double CD with 12 extra tracks. The sound is excellent...(am listening to it right now) and it sounds as fresh today as when it was released all those years ago.. An absolute bargain in my opinion.... ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Any Alabama 3 fans? For the uninitiated they're the guys who do the Sopranos theme tune. I'm lovin them for the past year or two (or three - time goes so bloody fast these days...things I thought happened 2 years ago were actually in the last century!) Anyway they're well worth a listen to "Exile on Coldharbour Lane" is sublime - if any one wants "Woke up this morning" or "Speed of the sound of loneliness" (cover) as a taster pm me and I'll bang them off BTW Does anyone know who originally sang "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness"?

Yep..is written and was recorded by John Prine...and I spose most famously covered by Nanci Griffith on her Other Voices Other Rooms CD. She does a great version..and is a personal friend of Prine's..and a nicer example of genuine star you couldn't find..but of course I'm a little biased towards Nanci...hehehe!! ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Am listening to Wolfmother at the moment. They're an Aussie band heavily influenced by Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin and whats even better is that they're only a 3 piece. Great music too. ]
