NEKRO138 Â Â 10 #63 Posted April 7, 2005 On a serious, or as serious as I get, note The Johnny Cash version of Hurt is good. Â I like the Danzig song Blood and Tears from Lucifuge, though it is cheesy. He also did a good song for the 'Less Than Zero' soundtrack called You and Me. Â Yes. I'm a big Danzig fan.

DanSumption   10 #64 Posted April 7, 2005 Originally posted by Morte Oh and the Cardiacs are possibly one of the best live acts in the world. Yup, and they have been at least since I first saw them 20 years ago (actually, they were more fun when there were hundreds of them onstage, albeit not quite as tight as they are nowadays).  I took a couple of friends to see them when they played at the Leadmill a few months ago, and was surprised that despite the fact that both friends have far more conservative musical tastes than me, they also said that the Cardiacs were the best live act in the world (no "possibly").  And while we're on the subject of beautiful songs: Cardiacs "Whole World Window". Makes me cry every time (though never quite as much as the first time, when the confetti bomb exploded, the flower bouqets were presented onstage, and the mosh-pit became one big sweaty pool of love).

Not true, in fact I've never seen them play South of the Thames, even though they hail from Kingston (close to my own stomping ground).  North of Watford, now that's a different matter!

Sam Miguel   10 #66 Posted April 7, 2005 I my opinion, Imagine by John Lennon is the most beautiful piece of music ever written.  Nothing comes near it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I thought they were the most disturbing band I'd ever seen. Not because they were bad or nasty lyrics etc but because their music had time signatures all over the place. It made very uneasy listening. I'm not sure if it's the same outfit though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ann* Â Â 10 #72 Posted April 24, 2005 George Michael's "Careless Whisper" and Don McLean's version of "American Pie".....the first revives memories of a previous love, and the second....I've always liked it...no other reason!
