The music thread.

If we're talking about Celtic-influenced music, I should put this here:

 

White & Nerdy is awesome, esp. for the engineers here. A former coworker told me about it years ago.

 

Ah yes, Chop Suey! Both my wife and I like SoaD and Chop Suey! is a particular favorite of hers.* But I often like things a bit more mellow...

(The album had guest vocalists. Judy Tzuke in this case.)

Of course, their core style is "Trip Hop".

(Skye Edwards rejoined on the latest album. Hoorah!)

* She managed to score kudos points with a student when she heard him playing SoaD through his headphones and not only identified the band but the name of the song (which, takes actual knowledge, given that the song title isn't in the lyrics).

 

Bravo! My favorite Billy Joel song from my favorite Billy Joel Album. I'm very surprised he played it in what looks like a recent concert.

Next time I get in my Prius gonna grab my iPod, press the Voice control button and say "play album Turnstiles"

 

How about a little Rush

 

I have no idea why this band isn't a household name:

 

Oh, my favorite Celtic music is Clancy Brothers and Chieftains...this is one of Sinead's best songs:

And for something completely different (like these blokes better then Floyd)

 

The Immigrant Song will never be the same again - Fred Zeppelin's House of Pancakes.

 

Excellent.

First the parody

Then the original

I saw a Laibach concert once. Most boring show I have ever been to. True fact.

Still like their music, though.

 

^ Laibach has made a career making people wonder if they are Nazis, Commies, or anything else that will get people riled up.

For instance, they took this Queen song and COMPLETELY changed it's meaning by singing it in German and wearing para-military uniforms

Yes, in English the title is from the racist movie "Birth of a Nation"
