Great Unknown Music

[Roguish Lawyer]

Sorry but I have a relatively new iPod and so I'm interested in music right now. Name a song (and the band/artist that performs it) that is not widely known but is really good.

Again, I'll start.

Tremolo, Evil Twin.

[Sdiver]

Don't pay the Ferry Man by Chris DeBerg

also gotta add....

Run Runaway by Slade

[aricbcool]

"Jockey full of Bourbon" & "Tango 'til They're Sore" by Tom Waits
Also there's quite a few songs off his album "Real Gone" that I enjoyed.

--Aric

[x SF med]

Homocide - 999 (might be too punk for you)
Nazi Punks Fuck off - Dead Kennedys
Every time I eat Vegetables, it makes me think of you - Ramones
The KKK took my Baby Away - Ramones
21 Guitar Salute - Dropkick Murphys
anything you can find by Asleep at the Wheel (yes, I'm following punk with country) best album IMHO, Collision Course.

That's enough oddity for this morning:munchin

[thebaffler]

"We're Leaving" - Devotchka

[Sionnach]

I don't know what you consider "unknown."

Eels - Mr. E's Beautiful Blues

[bandycpa]

Don't know about how unknown they are, but here's a few I get stuck in my head:

If you're in an aggressive type mood (and don't mind "Cookie Monster" vocals):
"Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste" - Norma Jean
"Through Struggle" - As I Lay Dying
"Walk" - Pantera (known, but a classic)
"Burn" - Throwdown
"Pillars of Eternity" - Down


If you're in a more mellow mood:
"Wiser Time" - The Black Crowes
"Change" - Blind Melon
"Echoes" - Pink Floyd (16 minutes and 30 seconds of sit back and relax)
"Say Goodbye" - Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds

If you're in a spiritual mood:
"King of Glory" - Third Day
"Jesus" - Rich Mullins
"Mothership" - Glisten

How's that for "one end of the spectrum to the other"?

Bandy

[incommin]

What! No big band sounds??????

Jim

[x SF med]

Best of Ellington - all vocals by Rosemary Clooney - any tune on it
Anything by Nina Simone
Coltraine ('nuff said)
Parker
Muddy Waters (blues, but killer)
Robert Johnson
Les Paul
Willie Nelson's jazz
Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys (yup, big band swing and country in one place)
Count Basie

I hope this is a 40 Gb iPod - you're gonna need it RL
[OPSEC, dude, OPSEC!!!]

[spectre919]

Warrior's Code, Dropkick Murphy's
Shipping Up to Boston, Dropkick Murphy's
The Foggy Dew, The Chieftans and Sinead O'Connor


Big Band

Anything Glenn Miller

[Snaquebite]

Anything by Government Mule

[Jcindy]

+1
Warren Haynes is outstanding.

[x SF med]

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick and Aqualung (whole album) - one song off Aqualung would have to be Hymn 43 or Locomotive Breath

Epic - Faith No More

[Texian]

My music is pretty unknown. There are 4 songs for download here. (http://www.myspace.com/josephalphonse)

[mumbleypeg]

Juan Trip- Dirty Party
Ray LaMontagne - Barfly
Richard Buckner-Ariel Ramirez
zz Top- Mescalero

Dengue Fever - Sui Bong
Hem- We'll Meet Along the Way
Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos- Aurora en Pekin
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds- Get Ready For Love
Brad Mehldau- Exit Music For a Film

[vsvo]

"Belle Starr" by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. I don't know how to categorize the music, but the two voices sound great together. This song is my favorite on a pretty good album, All the Roadrunning.

"Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad" by Matt Dusk. Bono originally wrote this song for Frank Sinatra. It was the theme song for the short-lived reality show, "The Casino," which also featured Dusk. Dusk is a classically-trained Canadian singer turned crooner. Michael Bublé is a bigger star, but I like Dusk more - he has more of an edge to his voice and music. Dusk's debut album, Two Shots, is pretty good. Track 6, "Don't Go Looking," was recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and is a great song.

[Spartan359]

Anything by The Mad Capsule Markets.

[Jack Moroney (RIP)]

Antonio Salieri: Concerto for Flute and Oboe

[x SF med]

Damn, RL - your theme song - Warren Zevon - Lawyers , Guns and Money - with an encore of Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner and Veracruz.

[Roguish Lawyer]

Damn, RL - your theme song - Warren Zevon - Lawyers , Guns and Money

I know this is blasphemy here, but this song is too mellow for my tastes. Were I to jump out of an airplane, I'd prepare with Ted Nugent's Craveman.

[huzza]

Sunset Rubdown - They took a vote and said No. (This song always reminds me of my Iraq experience, and anyone who has been there will know why.)

I'd also recommend the first 2 Slowdive albums (Just for a Day, and Soulvaki), and I cant isolate it to one song, because, their best listened to as whole albums.

regards,
George

[mumbleypeg]

Oh! Wind in the face music!

Bad Brains- We will not.
Sonny Vincent- Crazy Ride

"Belle Starr" by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. I don't know how to categorize the music, but the two voices sound great together. This song is my favorite on a pretty good album, All the Roadrunning.



All the Roadrunning is pretty good too. It's on the Dire Straits "Private Investigations" album.

If you like blues then R.L. Burnside songs should be on your playlist.

[Air.177]

Hugo Montengro-Spaghetti Western Soundtracks
Vampire Mooose

Probably others later

[LibraryLady]

8th of November by Big & Rich.

Or any of the MANY patriotic songs in the country genre.

Loretta Lynn - The entire Van Lear Rose disc, particularly Portland, Oregon

It's a collaboration with a guy Jack White, from White Stripes - very gritty marriage of garage band and honky tonk. The woman rocks! I hope I'm like her when I hit my 70's.

This led me to exploring White Stripes' work. I'd recommend Blue Orchid, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground, and their cover of Jolene.

Yo Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Mark O'Connor - Appalachia Waltz disc

LL

[x SF med]

Bach, Toccatta and Fugue - "the Rollerball theme" this one will test your speakers.

Savatage - Dead Winter Dead
Anything by Trans Siberian Orchestra

Here's a few;

Rammstein - Sehnsucht - YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VCIewdJrVo) (in German)

To mellow back out, from the really obscure category, Ukrainian pop star (and soloist of the Ukrainian Army chorus) Tina Karol' singing Ноченька ("Sweet Night") - video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-XvdglSu6c) (content warning: although no naughty bits are shown, she is pretty much naked throughout this video).

Ooh, more aggressive stuff:

"Symphony of Destruction" - Megadeth
"Crazy" and "One in a Million" - Guns n' Roses (GnR Lies "B Side" acoustic version)(Don't let the word "acoustic" fool you. It's still pretty intense)
"Vermillion" - Slipknot
"F**king Hostile" - Pantera (use sparingly and away from people)
"Bottom" - Tool


To counteract, yet stay in a somewhat dark mood:
"Rooster" and "Frogs"- Alice in Chains (MTV Unplugged album - one of the best in my opinion)

To just get plain weird for a little while:
"Hamburger Train" - Primus (okay, anything by Primus would qualify. But Les Claypool is the man)

To come back to the land of roses and rainbows:
"Easy" - Faith No More

Bandy

[Monsoon65]

The Alarm - Hell or High Water (anything by the Alarm is outstanding)

Grant Lee Buffalo - America Snoring (just get Storm Hymnal, it has all their good stuff)

Flogging Mollys - Within a mile of home, Tobacco Island, Seven Deadly Sins, Queen Annes Revenge



Go for Broke: "Come out ye Black and Tans" Great song!

[FearTheCats]

Dang, AL beat me to "Die MF Die."

The Autumn Offering: "Embrace the Gutter"
Dokken: "Tooth and Nail," "Turn On the Action"
Crimson Tide soundtrack by Hans Zimmer: "Roll Tide"
Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack by Klaus Badelt: "He's a Pirate"
Kansas: "Curtain of Iron"
King Arthur soundtrack by Hans Zimmer: "All Of Them!"

[mugwump]

Pilgrimage, Nine Inch Nails, The Fragile: When listening to this, try not to imagine Flying Monkeys from Oz marching at a Nuremberg torchlight rally. Seriously weird ("If you have to listen to that, please use your iPod!")

Just Like You Imagined, Nine Inch Nails, The Fragile: This will get you out of the plane door and looking for something to kill with your teeth when you land. I hate it when one of my favorite songs ends up in a commercial. The good news is when the commercial is for the movie 300.

Hurt, Johnny Cash, American IV: a cover of NIN by the master. Not really unknown, but gotta have.

Cold Cold Cold/Tripe Face Boogie, Little Feat, Feats Don't Fail Me Now: Any Little Feat album is good, actually.

St. Teresa, Joan Osborne, Relish: I just like her voice, and it's a poignant song.

Angel from Montgomery, John Prine, Souvenirs: What ever happened to John Prine?

Acid Killer, Infected Mushroom, Isra-Aliens: Techno. Well, it's certainly unknown. Great workout music.

When I Touch You, Spirit, The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus: moldy oldie, but still good.

Can't Find My Way Home, Blind Faith, Blind Faith

I Can't Make You Love Me, Bonnie Raitt, (I have this on a compilation album): Whew, one of the best heartbreak songs ever written (and perfect grammar - no "him and me" for Bonnie)

Moonlight Mile, The Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers: never a hit but one of my favorite Stones songs.

The Shins, Wincing the Night Away: If you're trying to keep up with the 21st Century. The Daughter listens to this and its OK. Pop-Pink Floyd.

Any JJ Cale

OK, Catwoman and I have just gone through just about every song listed here with iTunes open.

[TheShootist]

Lucero- Good bourbon drinkin' music. A bunch of old punk rock guys that started a country band. I recommend "The War"- A song about his grandfather's experience in WWII.

[Ice]

Jesse Cook - good guitar player (flamenco)

[swpa19]

Looking at these groups and song titles Ill have to admit, Ive passed up being "Well Seasoned" and am admittedly Very Old. Im toatally lost. Keep in mind that my musical preferences do not go back to The Ink Spots or The Dorsey Brothers. But, does pre date Band of Gypsys and Big Brother & the Holding Company.

[Moving Target]

King Crimson has had a large enough cult following to keep them successful for the 30+ years they've been active, but otherwise you won't hear much about them. They tend to be experimental, so you may love one song and hate the next.

Sleepless, Frame By Frame, Discipline, Another Red Nightmare, and Starless are a few of my all-time favorites.

Sleepless (in concert):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TTCk4rKnMM

[anythingrandom]

Jonny Lang - anything. For starters, try the songs "Give Me Up Again" and "Red Light" from the "Long Time Coming" CD. He is a young guy with a old blues voice. Really amazing.

Also, if you've seen the movie "Lord of War" with Nicholas Cage, the entire soundtrack is great. It's an original composition.

Additionally, try Citizen Cope, and (I saw this earlier, but I definitely second it) Ray LaMontagne. One of the most original vocalists alive. Try the song "Trouble" and his cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy." Both Ray LaMontagne and Damien Rice are good "gettin' it on" music.

If you have any more targeted requests in any genre, please let me know. I'd be happy to help.

[Razor]

For those with a penchant for The Pogues and Flogging Molly, the recent release by the Young Dubliners, "With All Due Respect", is a good choice, as is Great Big Sea's "Courage & Patience & Grit". The Young Dubliners' renditions of "The Leaving of Liverpool" and "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" are personal favorites from that CD.

[Tubbs]

Anything by The Mad Capsule Markets.

You know I got to see them live when I was in Japan. It was a pretty rockin' show.

Now for music.

Anything by the Dropkick Murphy's (they're from my hometown).
Anything by Reggie and the Full Effect (especially their album "Songs not to get married to.")
Blood for Blood- Wasted Youth Crew
Brand New- Ok, I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't
Catch 22- Keasbey Nights
Clutch- A Shogun Named Marcus, Binge and Purge (and pretty much anything else they've done)
Evergreen Terrace- Stars, Mad World, Bloody Sunday (all covers)
Floggin Molly- Swagger, What's Left of the Flag
Frodus- There Will Be No More Scum, Explosions
H2O- Role Model, Memory Lane, Thicker Than Water
Hatebreed- Why we fight, Perseverance
Nada Surf- Popular
Nerf Herder- Jenna Bush Army, Pantera Fans in Love
Pennywise- Bro Hymn
Throwdown- Discipline

[Go For Broke]

If you like variations on the classicals :boohoo (i.e. Beethenoven, Wagner, Barber, Tchaikovskyet al) Look at Bond or Rondo Venziano or even DJ Tiesto (Techno / Trance version of Barber's Adagio for Strings[ (The theme from Platoon))

Bond:
Duel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZY0xk0VeDs)

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqwUd_eTSxA)



Rondo Venziano:
Rondo Veneziano - La Serenissima (Theme From 'Venice In Peril') excerpt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rondo_Veneziano_-_La_Serenissima_%28Theme_From_%27Venice_In_Peril%2 7%29_excerpt.ogg)

YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rond%C3%B2+Veneziano&search_type=)

Adajio for Strings:
DJ Tiesto - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5xjIpsHVYQ)

Possibly DJ Stimulant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjqTTWA4hBw) (And No XXX No I do not do "X" :D, this is the music of Asia :p (and a number of clubs in the Midwest))

Technically - Bond could not be considered an "Unknown", as you can buy their albums at major commercial stores (much like DJ Tiesto) however, compared to the number of people who do know of them (much less Rondo Veneziano) they are relatively "Unknown")

I've always been fan of sountracks. Great soundtracks have been made for movies, and even for video games. Never knew the game and still don't care thereafter, but some serious work must have gone to it.

This is a GREAT Band!!!! After you listen to this song I pasted another at the end of the lyrics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4bCnoqutHk&feature=related

This is a live performance of "Big White Gate" by Grace Potter and The Nocturnals which recently aired on the excellent all HD commercial free cable channel RAVE-HD. The song, written for her grandmother, is from the Nocturnals new album "This Is Somewhere" on Hollywood Records. Well worth purchasing, as there is not a bad song on it. (Not my comment)

Big White Gate lyrics:

My body's acing from laying in this bed,
I went singing in the rain and the cold got to my head.
I don't know who's paying I just know what the doctor said,
84 years of a sinning life and in the morning I'll be dead.

I had three daughters,
A new man for every one.
The only man that I ever loved,
Left me with my only son.
I was a no good mother,
I was a no good wife,
There's only one thing that I did right in this godforsaken life.

Saint Peter won't you open up the big white gate,
Cause I heard about forgiveness and I hope it ain't too late.
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king,
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing.

I sang to my children,
Before they strayed so far.
I sang for my lovers,
Or a nickel in a tip jar.
I never knew Jesus,
I never read the good book.
But on my day of dying,
I'm giving life a second look.

Saint Peter won't you open up the big white gate,
Cause I heard about forgiveness and I hope it ain't too late.
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king,
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing.

It's coming on time now,
My body's getting cold.
I've got no will I've got no prayer,
My story's all been told.
I'm ready for the land of fire,
But I'd love to see the land of gold.
So nurse bring me my guitar,
One more song before I go.

My most favourite artist, Brooke Frazer, we went to the same church, and she hasn't let her local fame go to her head, very humble and telented young lass.

I think you'll love her stuff.

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

"I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live with Leonard before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath you drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Well it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halle...

It's not what you're told
It's not her face
It's not his touch
In the room you both share
Where he's gone when he loved
When your time and your memory fills your dreams
When you're honest and together
Together no more
No more

Hallelujah, until you're nothing
Hallelujah, baby, until she's everywhere
Hallelujah, until together you are somewhere I'd lost
Hallelujah, Hallelujah."

Had a roommate when I was at Bragg...a real guitar-guy (This is back in the 80's now) he had several artist's albums but I still find Dweezil Zappa's and Yngwie Malmsteen's guitar work pretty entertaining to listen to if you want some electric instrumental. Perhaps a little less known than Steve Vai or Joe Satriaini

Sometimes I just pull up the guitar duel from "Crossroads" for fun :D
