Exceelent Music You've Heard Lately

Here's a really good live version of one of the best rock anthems from the 90s. It's NSFW but so what, the song is about telling off your boss so play it loud.

Can't recall if I first saw this here on rj, but here's the lead singer of The Waterboys performing "Whole of the Moon" in 1987 in some awesome high school.

thanks for posting this - very cool. Hard to believe that was 26 years ago.

Saw Superchunk & fIREHOSE back to back at a small club 20 years ago. And since fIREHOSE had just covered Slack Motherfucker on the live totem pole ep, I got to hear both versions.

Same ep, cover of Blue Oyster Cult's The Red And The Black

Very nice. My brother saw fIREHOSE cover Slack Motherfucker and that's how he got into Superchunk.

So I was poking around on Youtube and came across a Times Two video of a song I really enjoyed, Strange But True. Come to find out one of the band members, Giovanni DiMorente, formed a new band called El Radio Fantastique. Not much on Youtube yet, but I'm already loving it.

Was that a single song or a promo preview of 3 different songs?

Did anyone know that this is what Ritchie Blackmore has been up to for almost 15 years??

Blackmore's Night. I fucking love it!!

This one is more straightforward pop/rock:



Celtic/folk rock:



Beautiful folk balladry:

for Bucky....

I saw this last week and it was amazing. I want to see it again and again and again.

[BuckyBuckner]

Saw a great show last night, Red Fang. They also make great videos.

Yes. Have I listened to it, no. But I knew about it.

[TranaGreg]

I don't have access to youtube here at work so can't post a link, but my new favourite song is Four Simple Words by Frank Turner.

[Mithrandir]

Yes. Have I listened to it, no. But I knew about it.

Even though i just started listening to them about 3 months ago, I will be picking their debut in the 80'-90's draft. I like it that much.

[BuckyBuckner]

Yeah, I posted both these vids earlier in the thread, I'm pretty sure. Prehistoric Dog is an epic song. That video was filmed on Mount Tabor in Portland, OR.....I used to live like three blocks from there.

I've seen that video before (probably here) and then kind of forgot about them. But I saw they were playing last night though I missed the first 20 minutes of their set. I was late cause I was at another show seeing a cover band called the Scrooges. They are a Stooges cover band that dress up as Santa. They always play a few shows each year and it's a lot of fun.

Do you like Torche? Have we talked about them yet?

[BuckyBuckner]

Don't know Torche but will definitely look them up (when I'm not stuck in a goddamn law library all day).

I think I've posted them here before but why not post it again? They are a little less metal and more stoner rock and have some very melodic hooks. It's possible it might not be heavy enough for you but I like them a lot. This song is from a more recent album,the earlier stuff is more raw.



Turns out I have Murder and Mountains by Red Fang on my iPod. It's really good. Gonna have to get their other albums.
