Awesome! I'll see your classic and raise it by three.:lol: These cuts are from their underappreciated 1994 album. I bought it in an old record store in Westminster after moving to London in 1994. Easily one of the heaviest records of the time. I really love this band, they've written about 20 stone cold classics, which is some going. Enjoy!

One last Cult lost classic, taken from the Star EP I bought 31 years ago. Amazing how they managed to get this released as a B-side, it's the best track on the EP. I was blown away by this upon having it recommended to me by a good friend in Uni. the guitar freak out at the end is just great. This made most music in 1994 sound a bit.....tame. Duffy and Astbury are proper old school rock n' rollers. I love the fact that they're in their sixties now, and they still rock out regularly, along with playing 6 a side soccer in California where they live. They've earned it.

 
A couple of mellow introspective jams from the Modfather himself, Mr Paul Weller. Blissed out blue-eyed soul music from the 90's, he's shared his gifts well and has always kept his feet on the ground whilst aiming for the sky.


 
The meaning of life? Work it out for yourself, the gospel according to Jazzie B, main man of Soul II Soul, who raised the bar for UK hip hop in 1989-91. Smooth and slinky riff on life's imponderables. This song really stood out upon its release on UK radio stations back in the day. It was street, but the arrangements were sophisticated. As spring has arrived in West Wales this week (6 days of clear blue skies and pristine sunny days!:-)), I feel some positive, optimistic music should balance out my slightly anarchic love of hard rock.:cool2:

 
Some late era cuts from the amazing Jimi Hendrix. The last track I share, Belly Button Window, showcases Jimi's playful, almost naive way with words. It's a song sung from the perspective of a newly conceived baby, staring out of the womb and wondering if he/she will even be born. So it's a soulful pro-life song.





 
RIP Val Kilmer. This is a good concert clip from 1991's Oliver Stone film, The Doors. Captures the energy and mania of the time well, and Kilmer excels as the Dionysian drunkard Jim Morrison that he had become late in his short life.

I love this. It reminds me of the Traveling Wilburys. Such a unique group. :thup:

Sweet @Meg , Orbison's voice is so beautiful and melodic in just the right amount. It reminds me of Elvis and looking at some comments on YT he said that voice was the best he had ever heard. I Drove All Night, was recorded but not released until after his death so Orbi never heard it, or rather heard it in a better place. The show with J.Cash is like a historical document and it seems to me that they both have fun so those were good times when good music was sung with a real voice. 😀

Cyndi Lauper's version. What a set of lungs. :love: Gorgeous.

That song was composed and recorded for Orbinson but since he wasn't very commercial at the time, they gave it to Cyndi Lauper...what to say her image was very pop and trendy although she actually has a very powerful voice.



and because girls just want to have fun...something more upbeat !! ;-)
