Make a 10 song playlist


LaBamba

Recommended Posts

I am having trouble with music for my boat. When we go out wake surfing people get tired of my taste in music. I try to make it timeless with stuff ranging from the Beatles, to Led Zeppelin, Run DMC and even Hank Williams Jr.

I am sick of my own music, it feels like I have heard every song that I like. I want you to give me a 10 song playlist of your All time favourite songs.

I don't care what it is.

Give me some gems.

Of my generation(40's) I think a big problem is how the industry would only promote(AM & FM) certain songs, off all these timeless albums.

Now on Youtube, I listen to artist's full albums(especially from the '70s, my fav period), & I realize all the BRILLIANT tunes i missed, stuck listening to the airwaves. Missed many B-sides, & lesser-known tunes by these great artists.

It's such a personal preference-issue. One rule I generally have for listening.

Morn: folksy, mellow, soulful, lots of female vocalists. (eg: F Mac, Amos Lee, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, etc...)

mid day: Jazzy or bluesy, like to experiment new sounds/bands with a close listen.

Eve: R & R. Get the blood flowin.

Time of the day is important for the vibe.

Give me a list bud, I'm 34 and I'm pretty heavy into the 60's, 70's, 80's.

And I know what you mean about the full albums. Blue Oyster Cult and Deep Purple have a high hidden gem rate in their actual studio albums.

I'm on it, Badfinger is the definition of underrated band. Billy Squire made great music I recently discovered, his radio tracks do not give him justice.

There's a coupla Badfinger documentaries online-recommend'em. There was a real wisdom & grace in Pete Ham's lyrics. The song 'Name Of The Game' resonates deeply for me.

After the Beatles split(who had signed them, originally), they lost(Apple) their record deal. A corrupt NY mafia lawyer(Stan Polley) signed them, then robbed them blind. Hard to believe how cutthroat the music biz could be.

The frustration sure charged into some of their later lyrics. EG: Money; Rock Of Ages.

Actually anything Monster Truck kicks ass!

^Ha Grapefruits, lovin the ol' Kim Mitchell. 'Patio Lanterns' is such a nostalgic tune. Had an old tape, 'Shakin Like a Human Being', which had a few great tunes.

He also played on Tom Cochrane's breakthrough LP, 'Mad, Mad world' , now recallin...

Just saw Mitchell at The Commodore couple weeks back. Awesome show. Played a bunch of his Max Webster stuff, surprised I knew as much as I did.
