Where We Are Billy the Kid I can't hold you close and I can't have you near Or let you go or keep you here And I can't change a thing And I can't change your mind Or save the day Or go back in time Because where we are Is just where we are falling farther from so far Underneath morning sheets Tell ...

Zarathustra,
Live sounds good to me. I'll have to look for that one. Enjoyed the Heart homage to Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Honors, with Bonham's son on drums and Plant, Page and Jones in attendance.

EDIT: they have it in my local library system so have a hold on it. Thanks for the rec.

My last update for the year. Lana Del Rey - Born to Die Lana Del Rey - Paradise Of Monsters and Men - My Head is an Animal Ingrid Michaelson - Human Again The Killers - Battle Born Alanis Morrisette - havoc and bright lights Aimee Mann - Charmer Various - The Hunger Games (soundtrack) Haley Reinhart...

Skateaway is another classic by them.

Stevie,
What I find about 90s music is it isn't dated at all. In the 90s, 70s music sounded really retro. In the 2010s, 90s music still sounds fresh like today's music.

Stevie,
Just for Live and Dave Matthews Band the 90s get rated great by me. Throw in Alanis, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Better Than Ezra, etc. and it made it a tough choice for me.

For me it's the 80s although more accurate would be 77-85. New wave music as well as much straight rock n roll that got mixed in with it like Tom Petty is my favorite. I also love 90s music but feel like the music I like from that decade was really a progression from what was started in the 80s. I s...

Totally hooked on Lana Del Rey's 2 albums. Didn't think I cared for her at all the first time i saw her. Now been listening to nothing but Born to Die and Paradise non stop for the last couple of days.

Just got The Killers, Battle Born. On first couple of listens it will probably easily make it at least as high as 11 on my list at the end of the year.

The Rising Tide The Killers The streets of persuasion Are plated with gold Your heart's in the right place, But you travel down the wrong road Like so many before you The gates open wide Here comes the rising tide Let's go out, tonight There's a mystery underneath those neon lights Before life and ...

This is the early draft. Will add/adjust in December. 1. Of Monsters and Men - My Head is an Animal 2. Alanis Morrisette - havoc and bright lights 3. Ingrid Michaelson - Human Again 4. Aimee Mann - Charmer 5. Various - The Hunger Games (soundtrack) 6. Haley Reinhart - Listen Up! 7. Norah Jones - Lit...

Lucy,
Love those two also. What I find with Rudgren's and Springsteen's songs are that my soul rises up to meet them. When I hear them they stir me up inside and I have to 'groove' with them.

The Ricki song, I have to get in a quiet place and turn it up loud, but love the lyrics and the mood.

Interesting version. The classic riff kinda gets lost in the heavy metal, but I can see where metal fans would like this one.

Pictures of Matchstick Men - Camper Van Beethoven

Also hooked on The Kinks, Waterloo Station after hearing it post Olympics, despite NBC cutting it.

Been listening a lot to Ed Sheeran's + album. Especially drawn to A Team and Give Me Love, although Kiss Me is still awesome.

Thanks for the rec Sea!

Joni is one of my favorite artists and lyricists. (sp?)

Just don't call her the female Bob Dylan! <grin>

I forget how much I like this tune and it's message until it comes up on my playlist. Love is the Answer Utopia Name your price and take it to paradise I can't stay here any more And I've looked high and low I've been from shore to shore to shore If there's a short cut, I'd have found it But there's...

Love that one. And Lily Allen's cover with Mick Jones too.

Always liked that one Sgt. Pure emotion.
