I'm loving the bass dude. Is he just not the super- domestique?

I mean, he's carrying the basic beat while everone else around seems to be just jazzing off.

heh, surround yourself with 5 quality folks, better give them space and time to express themselves, otherwise the whole thing will go down the toilet.

In reality Jaco had a pretty big ego and he was definitely a leader. Incredible endurance when playing bass.

Guided by Voices were one of the most glorious bands of all time. Such great pop songs blasted out in short bursts, prolific and primitive, with poor recording and often unusual chord sequences and idiosyncratic lyrics and titles that hid the pop gems underneath. Adore them.

Here are a few favourites:

Sot
Tractor Rape Chain
Game of ***
Bright Paper Werewolves
My Valuable Hunting Knife
Quality of Armor
The Best of Jill Hives
Cut-Out Witch
Don't Stop Now
We've Got Airplanes
As We Go Up We Go Down
Gold Star for Robot Boy
Blimps Go 90
Everywhere With Helicopter
It's Like Soul Man
I Am A Scientist

That's far too many songs for this kind of thread and anybody who has interest will probably know the majority of them already anyway, but with GBV you just click on one song, see links for other songs in the related videos section and are just like "oh yes, that one's amazing too!" and since their songs are all short you don't get sick of them.

Leo Ornstein - Piano Concerto

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9zpBnn8Flk

This composer is absolutely amazing. Absolutely a genius in my opinion, despite being somewhat obscure. He's also had a very interesting life; born in 1893 in Ukraine (then part of imperial Russia) he, among other things, enjoyed a lot of fame in the 1910s as an extremely modernist composer, faded into complete obscurity, opened a music school in Philadelphia with John Coltrane among its alumni and died in 2002 at the age of 108, leaving a wealth of compositions, a lot of which I think haven't been recorded yet. Throughout his very long life he has composed music very diverse in style; from the very violent and dissonant music that got him famous and controversial in the 1910s to much more harmonious music later in his life, which I feel is nevertheless still very creative.

Anyway, he's not too famous, but anybody who likes (contemporary) classical music should give this guy a listen!

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son

Long was my favourite rock & roll band. I still see myself writing my thesis and listening to Hey Tonight to get me pumped :D and once I got my degree I made myself a pleasure buying the new John Fogerty album Revival (last time I bought a CD).

Back in 2007, I saw this clip and was really impressed by Fogerty's energy (7.29 till the end). Amazing rocker!

Some of my fave Creedence song are Wrote a Song for Everyone, Don't Look Now, Long as I Can See the Light, (Wish I Could) Hideaway (most of them anti-Vietnam War or defence of the working class, unfortunately John still endorses Democrats :mad:)

and John Fogerty solo: Southern Streamline, Rockin' All Over the World and he was also a beast at covering songs: It's So Easy, Hearts of Stone, Haunted House (this beautiful Taylor :))



By the way, on another note, I'm very impressed by Maarten's musical knowledge. :)

I found a really nice jazz piano trio from Japan not too long ago, called J.A.M. and although their name is pretty lame, their music certainly isn't. I generally don't like the drums in jazz too much; I feel it can be a bit weak sometimes. But this guy's drumming is really energetic. I like it.

here's an album of them:

Oh and it's actually a side project from a band called Soil & "Pimp" Sessions. It's basically the same guys but with a Trumpeter and a Saxophonist. Just like J.A.M. it's very energetic and also a bit weird from time to time.

here's a song by them
