Ken Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 The idea of this thread is to recommend songs that are not your usual recommedations on a GNR board, like Metallica, Buckethead, any well known Rock/Metal stuff, but songs that are Classic, Techno, from the 50's or before, country etc. Songs that hardly get any any air-time and are not SO well known"Unusual" recommendations.I'll start, naturally, but with more than one or two:Lee Marvin - Wandrin' Star (melodic, slow, choral)The Defonics - Didn't I blow your mind this time (70's soft)Bootsy Collins - I'd rather be with you (funky Bootsy!)Castlevania theme (good before killing vampires and stuff)The Delfonics - Have you seen her? (70's soft)Fats Waller - I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter (30's, piano)Hank Williams Sr.&Jr. - There's a tear in my beer (haha, funny country)Marvin Gaye & Diana Ross - You are everything (great duet)ZZ Top - Doubleback (Was played in Back to the future III)!!

Shia0bundan Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Loretta Lynn's music. The only country I've ever really listened to. She has a song with Conway Twitty and I don't remember exactly what it's called .. I think its "louisiana woman, mississippi man". Her stuff is really good.

Guest RED Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I also forgot to add John Frusciante-The Will To Death and Shadows Collide With People.His most recent albumsI much prefer his earlier work during his heroin years,but at times it is quite hard to listen/stomach,he sounds in so much pain your heart just bleeds for him.

slashs_servant Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Easy - by Faith No More = great song!! Yeh thats a great song. Apparently its about a gay guy, who has sex with guys, and sunday morning is easy cause he has a good night out. But my brother told me that, he kinda lost all credibility when he told me slash started playing guitar at 28, and he still defends it ... ! David Lee Roth - Just like paradise ... wee steve vai's guitar work is brilliant in that, also yankee rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
