Her entire Live in Paris & Toronto leaves me awestruck. Pure magic.

I just got Paul Simon's new album "Surprise", I'm sure I'll be posting some of his new stuff in this thread

I'm at the bookstore with my wife. Something's playing that I have never heard before, but it sounds suspiciously like Paul Simon. The more I hear, the more I'm sure of it.

I went back to the music section and asked... sure enough, it is "Surprise" by Paul Simon. I'm enjoying it, and thinking it would be a good request for Father's Day.

As I'm putting it back, the name "Brian Eno" crosses my mind. Did I read it on there somewhere?

Sure enough.

Sold.

I'll be listening to it through for the first time in the morning... but what I've already heard is quite excellent.

Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life (made me Love Love Love again)

I like that one too. I'm a fan of a lot of Bright Eye's stuff, actually...

Anyway.

A Few Good Men and The Gauntlet by Dropkick Murphys always make me feel alive and such. I've said before that I'm not a huge fan of the band, but I do have to admit, they make a GREAT battle theme.

Tubthumper by Chumbawamba, a classic

Salty Dog by Flogging Molly always makes me feel like becoming a pirate, which is sort of like being inspired....

Hybrid Rainbow by The Pillows always has a great feel to it.

Amon Amarth - Victorious March, Where Silent Gods Stand Guard, Pursuit of Vikings, Blood Shed, The Beheading of a King.
Inflames - Ordinary Story
Depeche Mode - Everything Counts
Tears For Fears - Mad World
Chromeo - Mercury Tears
Bad Religion - Majority Songs

I can't find the other music thread, so I'm posting this here

I love this guy, first time I ever heard of him...I can't even begin to describe what genre this is http://www.drewmaher.com

The whole of Olivier Messiaen's "Quartet For The End of Time". Amazing
