Jaded July 16 Share July 16 This is a cover of a Leonard Cohen song sung by Martin Gore of Depeche Mode. 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 17 Share July 17 (edited) Tenth the Ramones album "Halfway to Sanity" (1987). Kinda mid, kinda good album. Damn, they have a lot of albums, somehow in my mind I thought they were active for a pretty short time, but I guess I mistook them for the Doors... Edited July 17 by Rushmoras Link to comment
BlueSkies July 18 Share July 18 Todd Rundgren is/was great. One of my favorites to listen too every now and then for a pick me up 1 1 Link to comment
Jaded July 18 Share July 18 I love this whole album. It's one I can listen to and not want to skip a single song. 1 1 Link to comment
Palimelon July 18 Share July 18 Maybe it's just me, but every time I see his name, I think of this scene from 30 Rock: 2 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 18 Share July 18 Eleventh the Ramones album "Brain Drain" (1989). Solid one, way above average. And, hey, look, I have heard another of their song long ago - Pet Semetary. 2 Link to comment
annzeepark914 July 18 Share July 18 I'm listening to The Descendants soundtrack (George Clooney's movie) in my car as I have to share the highways with so many self-absorbed drivers. This Hawaiian music is so soothing (not Don Ho music!!)...and brings back memories of that very interesting film. Just bought it at Amazon for 5.00. 2 Link to comment
Anduin July 19 Share July 19 Strong Bones - The Lizard Kings. Stop a moment, imagine what that sounds like. Then check out the video. Yeah, I wasn't expecting a sort of calypso/reggae track either, especially since it was linked in the sidebar of a metal vid. 1 Link to comment

Rushmoras July 19 Share July 19 Twelfth the Ramones album "Mondo Bizzaro" (1992). IMO, almost a 10 out of 10, if not for the song Anxiety, which I did not like. 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 20 Share July 20 Penultimate album from The Ramones "Acid Eaters" (1994). It wasn't bad at all, but in terms of standing out songs, it maybe the album that has the least of them... 1 1 Link to comment
Jaded July 20 Share July 20 I think I'm going to try to make time to watch Highlander again sometime soon. Someone posted a picture of the building that had the Silvercup sign atop it IRL which of course made me think of the movie. 4 1 Link to comment

Anduin July 25 Share July 25 (edited) I really should follow some bands more closely, because I just discovered that Amorphis did a live album! It includes my favourite track of theirs, Black Winter Day. Just a damn good tune. But funny moments, the bass player has an Axl Rose look going. And the lead guitarist leans into either a breeze or wind machine when he does his big solo. Gotta love it. :) Edited July 25 by Anduin 1 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 25 Share July 25 Mostly been listening to my own country's artists. Now, on Spotify, the band Garbanotas is playing. Can't really find their albums on youtube, so, here's spotify link: 1 Link to comment
One4Sorrow2TooBad July 26 Share July 26 Split Enz to Crowded House. This song came out in 1986, still packs a punch after all these years. 3 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 26 Share July 26 Started Alannah Myles discography. At least it won't be long (I think three or four albums tops). First self-titled album from 1989, it's decent. Besides Black Velvet, I think I also heard on the radio Who Loves You, but I could be wrong about that; maybe in some movie... 3 Link to comment
Palimelon July 26 Share July 26 (edited) Not just a great song but also a great cover version too of a previous song. Edited July 26 by Palimelon 2 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 27 Share July 27 Second Alannah Myles album "Rockinghorse" (1992). Almost 10/10, if not for that one song... Surprised she did not get much more traction... 2 Link to comment
BlueSkies July 27 Share July 27 A lot of Billy Joel's music seems rather played out to me at this point. But it's always cool to discover a deep track of his I like and am reminded why I used to like him a lot. 1 1 1 Link to comment
BlueSkies July 28 Share July 28 I'm still a sucker for tuning into Lady Gaga live performances. This is from the Olympic opening ceremony. I thought it was all right. Not as great as Lady Monsters think it was but not as brutal as certain other fanbases think. 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 28 Share July 28 Penultimate Alannah Myle's album "Alannah" (1995). Hmm, in comparison, might be her worst yet. Slightly above average. 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 29 Share July 29 Final album of Alannah Myles "85 BPM" (2015). Wow, 20 years of hiatus. Um... and it's not good. First half of the album really really really meh, and the rest is average with three or four different versions of Black Velvet lol. As always, subjective assessments of each album: 1. Alannah Myles (1989) - 8/10 [Best songs: Love Is; Black Velvet; Lover of Mine; Kick Start My Heart; If You Want To; Who Loves You] 2. Rockinghorse (1992) - 9/10 [Best songs: Our World Our Times; Sonny Say You Will; Living On a Memory; Song Instead of a Kiss; Love in the Big Town; Rockinghorse] 3. Alannah (1995) - 5.8/10 [Best songs: Family Secret; Irish Rain; Simple Man’s Dream; Lightning in a Bottle; Do You Really Wanna Know Me?] 4. 85 BPM (2015) - 6.7/10 [Best songs: Comment Ca Va; Faces in the Crowd; Black Velvet Terry Brown] Average album score: 7.3/10 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 30 Share July 30 Started Cher discography. Wow, I did not know that her career is that long. First album "All I Really Want to Do" came out in 1965! And, well, the production quality is nothing to speak of, but it's a given, it's more than 50 years old! That being said, the whole album is somewhere above average. Has couple of stand-out songs even though their quality is kinda poor, and I see that Needles and Pins was to go to cover for some bands. Not really a fan of her singing in this, feels like she's really really bored and will fall asleep anytime soon lol. 1 Link to comment
Rushmoras July 31 Share July 31 Second Cher album "The Sonny Side of Cher" (1966) was significantly better than the first one, also, had a lot of songs that I have heard from before (Like A Rolling Stone; Ol' Man River; It's Not Unusual). 1 Link to comment
Palimelon July 31 Share July 31 While I realize this song (and it's video) may be problematic to some, I can't deny it is a good song. 2 Link to comment
Rushmoras August 2 Share August 2 Third Cher album, which is self-titled, "Cher" (1966). It was okey, more of the same style of music. It has another couple of songs that I have heard from before (not necessarily played by Cher, mind you). 1 Link to comment
Jaded August 3 Share August 3 I love this song. It makes me feel better about not always knowing what the right thing is to say. 3 Link to comment
Rushmoras August 3 Share August 3 Fourth Cher album "With Love, Cher" (1967). A very decent album in comparison. Still, not really a fan of sixties or seventies pop music... 2 Link to comment

I think it's a play on words. ------- I'm almost 100% sure that Dave is high as a kite here. There are some nice shots of Alan up top on his keyboard though....🙃 Edited August 6 by Jaded 2 Link to comment
