DownGoesFrazier Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think the best song of all of them is "You've Got it Bad, Girl". Unbelievably intricate production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Note that jazz musicians are also a fan of Wonder's song writting. He often has very hip and cool chord progressions and they are fun to solo around. So even if I'm not a big fan of his specific release of his own material the song itself is very solid from a musical perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonasEB Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 > {quote:title=misswonderly wrote:}{quote} > Here is a beautiful "Sundayish" song from the soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". Lovely faith-filled lyrics, and a very pretty melody. "I'll Fly Away" : > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6JspmVyzVw That's my favorite song from the movie! _________________________________________________________________________________ Big Star - September Gurls: Big Star - Way Out West: Bob Dylan - Boots of Spanish Leather: I believe this is far superior to the very similar and better known Girl From the North Country and I steadfastly believe The Times They Are a Changin' is the best of the first three albums. Dylan started as a mimic in general, then of Woody Guthrie. By this point, he's beginning to do his own thing and his personal/emotional involvement with the material is much greater. The European influence on songs like The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol is a great advancement during this period. This is less a "protest album" than it is an abstract picture of Dylan's isolation and pessimism that would mark his move away from the folk culture of the early 60s. I love the references to Francois Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player in the liner notes - that's how Dylan felt at the time and it's reflected in this album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFpXeA7b3dc Talking Heads - Listening Wind: This was a very perceptive song in 1980. I can't think of any other song, at least in the western world, that dared to take the point of view of a terrorist. Not an endorsement of violence but a portrait of desperation and conviction. That it's at the end of an album about the effect of the modern world makes it that much more effective. There's an excellent recent film from the U.K./Ireland called Hunger, about IRA prisoners, that is similar to this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXUpKmYwnEE Julee Cruise - The World Spins: I have to return to Julee Cruise. I just watched Twin Peaks in its entirety again and the use of this song at the end of the pivotal episode in which we find out who killed Laura Palmer is powerful. The sense of loss, being lost, inevitability, and sorrow is extraordinary. Completely overpowering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNgo-ppXZt0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonasEB Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 > {quote:title=misswonderly wrote:}{quote} > Tom Waits -just fantastic. Sometimes I think this guy is the walking spirit of film noir. Or his music, anyway. Here is just one of many great songs by him, from the very fine album, Rain Dogs. This is "Hang Down Your Head" : > > Tom Waits is like Woody Allen for me: I love Woody Allen but I always forget how great he is until I by chance watch a bit of Hannah and Her Sisters or Bananas on TV. This was a great reminder to get some Tom Waits back into my rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
