Welcome Back Scarlett http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif hmm I said that in another thread but you might not see it...Anywayyyyy

Fav 2 Songs - hmmmm *thinking*

I'll have to come back to this one http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

[dracul]

I think I have to agree with pybob, it differs from day to day (mood to mood). Plus I like so much different styles of music I can't give you just one song, but hé let me give you an example:

Eels - Lucky Day in Hell
Presidents - Lump
Simon & Garfunkel (live) - Kodachrome
Da Luniz - I've got 5 on it
every single song from Mozart's Zauberflote (magic flute)
Beck - Jackass
Foo Fighters - ? (damn I forget the name of that song everytime)

Well I could go on but I think you've got my point. To much great music to choose just one or two favourite's http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

Million Miles Away - Hanoi Rocks

[Pybob]

<p align="center"><font color=440066>I didn't say it before, but anything by Queen I can listen to for hours on end, and Beethoven's Ode to Joy always gets my blood racing...</font></p>

</p><p align="center"> http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif</p>

[BadMushroom]

If we are talking classical then...

Danse Macabre Saint-Saens (where is that damn umlauted 'E'!!) or Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. Depends whether I'm in outré (ha) or somber mood.

Pybob! Good call on "Ode to joy". Music powerful enough to make your eyes bleed!

[Emaleth]

<font color="770000">Good taste Bad Mushroom...I'll let it slide that you don't like Clowns in Kilts...lol</font color>

[Pybob]

<font color=440066>Hey BadMushroom, another fan of Saint-Saëns (hold Alt and dial 137 then let go of Alt!)

Or is it that you like Johnathan Creek? http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Kidding!

The truth is I love any music that makes me want to move or plays well in the background whilst I'm reading. *busts a move*! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/tongue.gif</font>

[Goth Girl]

Danse Macabre is cool, but my favourite piece of classical music is Mussorgsky's 'Night on Bare Mountain'... absolutely gorgeous (I got married with it played in the background!)

------------------
Goth Girl ~ your favourite nightmare!

[Tonka]

Ohh I forgot about Robbie Williams, "Angels" Now I really like that song... infact I don't actualy know any one that dislikes it.

[BadMushroom]

Tonka! I admire a man who has the courage of his convictions when he makes inflammatory statements to the extent that you do.
You do realise that in saying you don't know anyone who dislikes "Angels" you are opening yourself up to attack from Gary Barlow's fan, coming after you with a crossbow and a flaming torch!!!

Not to mention other people who have a problem with the 'Industry' in general and Mr Williams attitude/music in particular.

I'd lay low for several years if I was you! At least until Gary's fan has lost interest in you. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/wink.gif

[Scarlet oHorror]

~*Death...is only the beginning*~

[Pybob]

<font color=440066>Going past a few posts (glossing over anything to do with RW) to what Goth Girl said about Mussorgsky and the obvious love of many pieces of classical amongst the contributors here...

A few weeks ago Emaleth pointed me at a website that has thousands of pieces of music in midi format... click here (http://www.prs.net/midi.html)

Thought those of you like me who like classical but couldn't identify a composer or title of a piece could do with a site that'll let you hear what folks here are on about! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

Oh, I almost forgot earlier on... fave modern composer has to be Danny Elfman he of Nightbreed, Batman (the Burton films) and countless others...</font>

Metallica -

Fade to Black
Hero of the Day
One
No Leaf Clover

Any one of those- and I mean the S&M versions of Hero and Clover

[Jeffistopheles]

Wow!!! That's a toughie!!! I too tend towards the mood music. However, here's a list o' songs that always prick my ears up regardless of circumstance:

Sick Of You by Gwar
Little Bastard by Chaos UK
Satan's Trampoline by Lawnmower Deth
Stay Gold by Murphy's Law
Maladjusted by Sick Of It All
Meat Packer by Yuppicide
Devil's Night Out by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Collage Radio Looser by The Meatmen
The Dirtball by Insane Clown Posse
Scratch by Morphine

Uh... Actually, anything by the above mentioned bands (and a butt-load of more I haven't listed) will pretty much do it. There's just too much to list. Sorry, my music is an incredibly important portion of my life!!!

[SpOOkshow]

All time favourite?
Hmmm - gotta be 'Moonchild' by the mighty Fields of the Nephilim...
can remember seeing it on a TV show sometime in 1988 (i think)..and saying 'What IS THAT ?...thats BRILLIANT'

aaah memories

And Artemis - Nice Young Ones quote... http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Goblin]

If I had to choose a few favorites...

Ballad of Dwight Fry - Alice Cooper
Ace of Spades - Motorhead
Medicine Jar - Skid Row
Aint it Funny - Enuff Z'Nuff
War Machine - KISS
Harvest Moon - Blue Oyster Cult
Color of Right - Rush
Heresy - Rush
Nobody's Hero - Rush
Manhattan Project - Rush
and the entire score from Dario Argento's Phenomena and Suspiria
I think I'm way behind on posting on this topic...I'll catch up, promise!!

[Jeffistopheles]

Artemis- You're a Gwar fan right?? If you've got a copy of We'll Kill Everything, just pop on F*cking an Animal. I can't listen to that one and be in a bad mood!

[Jeffistopheles]

Kortag- I've heard rumors of black, round, flat things that held music as well! (Actually, I have a few things on vinal) I had a tape of Back With a Bong by Murphy's Law in highschool, but I converted it to disk aeons ago. They're one of the best live acts I can think of (I've seen em' about 10 or 15 times) Gang Green (sp?) used to have Joe Gittleman, the bass player from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I never really cared for them (Gang Green), but The Meatmen's cover of Alcohol on the Pope on a Rope album ROCKS!!!! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Artemis- *scraping some steamed brocoli into the cheese and rice* I feel a bit of a hypocrite, as I tried to suggest some "cheer up" music and was stricken by the same beast as you. Glad you enjoyed it though http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

Regaene- For what its worth, My Lady managed to stick The Motercycle Song by Arlo Gutherie in my head this morning, so I had to haul out my copy of Alice's Resteraunt. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif



[This message has been edited by Jeffistopheles (edited May 27, 2000).]

[Jeffistopheles]

*Jeffistopheles spoons a generous portion of the cheesy brocoli and rice into a topless skull* Now, what shall it be for dinner music? I've always been a sucker for Tommy James and the Shondells (sp?) or maby something by Smoky Robinson? I still maintain good music, is good music.
*pushes a few thralls to the floor*
Take your pick from that for afters!

[Jeffistopheles]

Artemis- I don't know what is worse, the moronic guitar riff, ot the tasteless lyrics? And wait untill you find yourself singing it in a public place! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Jeffistopheles]

Artemis- I just checked out 'Hyperactive' by The Donnas on Napster and it was too laid back for me... Can you suggest a specific song, or does everything they do sound like that? I tend to like stuff that has teeth on it, if you know what I mean. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Jeffistopheles]

Ok Artemis, now you've got my attention! I checked 'em out and it was everything I actually liked about NIN without having to listen to Trent's whining (sorry to all NIN fans!) And the low-tech approach is pretty damn cool in my book! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[AndyB]

Being a dyed in the wool Blackmore fan it would have to be:

Rainbow STARGAZER

regards.

[kortag]

Mindless Self Indulgence..oh yeah!! Been listening to them now for just a few weeks (thanks napster) I think they're peachy.
And if you like the cool, sexual mood music..then try Delerium.

[Jeffistopheles]

Artemis- Soooooooooo... It's a war you want http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif So Be it!!!!
SCOTS and John Spencer reminded me of a cross between Elvis Hitler and The Didgets. Not bad, but I gotta be in a mood. Fu Manchu would make fine background music, but it's really not mu cup o' tea. Kitty however, has an album sale thanks to you! Any woman with that kind of aggression is choice in my book! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif I'm gonna have to e-mail you a list, cause I can see this getting really out of hand. Give me a go-ahead first though, cause I don't wanna jam up the thread (or your mail box)too bad.

[Quail]

The song I'm listening to most at the moment is "Calling your name" it's the song from American Pie where the lad does the strip, but two of my favourites are "Mamma mia" by ABBA (it's in one of my fave films, Priscilla Queen of the desert) and the other is "Where the wild roses grow" by Nick Cave and the bad seeds with Kylie Minogue.

[Sidious]

good question, really makes you think.

Savatage - Edge of Thorns
Bubblegum Crisis soundtrack - Konya Wa Hurricane
Savatage (again) - Follow Me
Rasputina - Transylvanian Concubine (Marilyn Manson Remix)

Oh and a Question to Goth Girl, I was cruising around napster the other day and saw a bunch of remixes that had your name on it. Coincidence or other?

[Goth Girl]

Ha-ha (hides in big swirly cloak in an air of mystique!)... who knows...!

I can't believe someone who aka's themself to "The Bloody Vampire" would listen to the Beatles. Something about the two just don't go together in any way possible. Add the Beatles to the list for the provisioning pot http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Vasagi]

well lord shathis.............
long time no blood
i havent checked upon this site for quite some time now but now that i have seen proof that you are of a like mind, i seem to have a feeling of......whats that word opposite of disgust....oh yes but of course...i have a feeling of less disgust for you. OZZY is in my mind the best musician and songwriter on the planet, crazy train is my all time fav song too. Has been for the last 15 years.

[Vasagi]

beatles for provisioning???????????
let me guess........you're 12 right.
Beatles were a defining band that put rock and roll in the direction that it is still heading today.
