Who Are Your Favourite Bands/artists?

[T.o.b.y]

I am going to link to a German song, sorry... but this is beautiful and my comfort hymn right now.

 

 

I wish I could find a good translation. It's a bit beyond my powers... Basically, it's just really reassuring and a gentle protest against all kinds of things that I think make life scary.

[Arcadia]

I like the music ....

[T.o.b.y]

RIP David Bowie...

I'm still in shock over David Bowie... I hadn't even realized he was sick.

[Arcadia]

Same here. I was never a fan, but still, he's one of the icons of my era ... it's really sad.

[T.o.b.y]

This is what I have been listening to a lot lately when feeling down:

 

 

Not very sophisticated, I know, but I am not musical - I appreciate songs mostly for the emotional value. And this one does really make me feel a tad more hopeful and brave.

[Arcadia]

Thanks Toby! I liked it so much that I listened to some of their other songs.

Got this one from a fan fic author who likes to post her writing soundtrack for her stories.  Really like it; I like to use it for writing music too.

I Believed in You by Skunk Anansie

(Warning:  The lyrics are a little violent; it just fit really really well with the story that I read, and the beat is wonderful for those days when you need to just pound out words and meet deadlines.)

[Arcadia]

I rather liked that one too, but I think I've finally found a band with a worse name than Death Cab for Cutie. ;)

[Bluebell]

Love Skunk Anansies music, too!

 

Currently I am having not really super-fave bands or so, just listening what comes across and I like, such as Heather Peace for example:

she's also an actress, that's where I noticed her first in the TV series 'Lip service'.

 

[Arcadia]

Oooooh, nice. Added to my iTunes wishlist.

I love it!

[Arcadia]

I like his voice.

 

I recently found Rag'n'Bone Man (I think one of his songs was used for a Sherlock video?) - I really like his voice too. Gruff, but in tune. Also someone named Hozier. I find I'm drawn to the blues more and more lately. Don't have any links at the moment, sorry.

[Doe]

You will share it later Arcadia. 

 

I like blues. Actually, Gary Moore. Still Good The Blues. 

 

I know Rag'n'Bone Man. Their song is Human.

 

Hozier's videoclip is very sad.  :( Why, why are people against being diffrent?

I love Mamma Mia so much.

A friend of mine once said to me 'you can connect Sherlock Holmes' to anything!

[HerlockSholmes]

My favourite bands, by the way,are:

 

Led Zeppelin/ Yes/ Genesis/ Marillion/ Van Der Graf Generator/ King Crimson/ Dream Theater/ Manowar/ Deep Purple....

 

Ingredients must include guitars, volume and weirdness

[Arcadia]

I was astonished to learn recently that King Crimson is still around.

 

Did Brett do his own vocals in that piece, does anyone know?

Apologies Arcadia I've only just noticed your post.

 

According to Brett in an interview that he did on the tv show 'Wogan,' he did do his own vocals but had a bit of 'help' with the higher notes.

[Arcadia]

Well, either way, I always smile when I see that clip.
