Pickled Egg Jukebox-Your Selections

[myglaren]

JP a bit growly for my taste. I listen to some metal but more symphonic metal, Nightwish, Within Temptation etc. (female singers)

I have an idea that Hope Sandoval has sung with JP but doubt that this would be any better with her singing it, not her style.

I do like the Joan Baez original version though.

[mickthemaverick]

I know nothing about JP but after watching that I wouldn't pay to go and see them!!

I thought Disturbed's version of The Sound of Silence was ok to listen to but I didn't care much for the video !!

[mickthemaverick]

Anyone else like a bit of boogie?

Talking about classics in very very different ways....

The Dead South do " You Are My Sunshine"

[mickthemaverick]

All that needs is Les Dawson on piano to make it a hit!!

I like this version from Dead South, but I have heard it a few times now as my wife is quite a fan, I like them because they have a different sound, if you want to listen to something different try Giuliano Ligabue and his cover of Don't stop me now, he is an Italian jazz singer, I like it but I am a Sinatra fan so not to far away for me.
What is a mile away and sounds great in the car is GBX & johnny featuring Tony Hadley singing Gold or some German Techno with Rammstein and Das Model although not quite as good a Krafwerks version.
If it is roof off motoring it has to be for me Caro Emerald.

If you want some Mississippi type jazz music not sure what it would come under, we came across her by accident and what a sound it's Catherine Russel the album is Bring it Back, it is a super sound especially on a CD system.

Odd jump really for me from a 70's punk complete with mohican and the pistols to Frank Sinatra now but I suppose it's a good thing I would imagine if I pogoed now I would probably have a heart attack, not a good look!

If you want to hear something REALLY depressing listen to Jonny Cash singing you are my sunshine.

I enjoyed that Steve, and it reminded me of another sailing theme I liked too:

[mickthemaverick]

Here's another nautical theme that I have always found very stirring, some nice images on this one too:

[myglaren]

I recognised the music but don't think I ever watche Howards Way, or the Onedin Line which I mistook for it initially.
That theme is superb

Like much of Khatchaturian's music.

One I just found elsewhere and reposted was this, not for the music but the video



The day after we were married we took the ferry from Immingham to Gothenburg and it was like this but worse.
New wife stayed in our cabin the whole journey. A wave burst through the windows and washed everything out of the restaurants.

Another loosely connected piece of music which inspired me to learn to play the clarinet at school, this was the only piece I ever wanted to play and after 3 years of lessons I finally mastered it and then gave up playing the instrument which sits in its case upstairs. I can still play the first few bars but the parts that involve going over 'the bridge' elude me completely nowadays!

[mickthemaverick]

My own worst ferry ride was Bilbao to Portsmouth and these two short clips give you an idea, sadly I haven't got round to giving them some background music but if you think of Roger Whitaker's Ship lying rigged and ready in the Harbour you'll get the idea

[myglaren]

Not unlike my eldest daughter. She wanted to play the flute but was the only one that could handle the clarinet.
She bought a sax a few years ago.
While stranger on the shore was superb and one that she mastered fairly quickly, at my urging her, there is another that I like even more but found by a very circuitous rout.
Heard it sung by Lill Lindfors but was decades later I found it was an Ackertune.

Used to go on sea trials with my dad who was an engineer in the local boatyard. Mainly smallish fishing boats.
The first rough sea where the waves towered above the mats I was regretting my decision to go.
On the downslope of the wave I was convinced we were going straight the Davy Jones' locker.
Survived it though.
