I have the very best of Cream CD. After hearing this I think they lied about the title!

lol. That is funny. 'Best of's' rarely are. In defense of that particular omission. It is generally acknowledged that the live version of that song (on Live Cream vol 2.) is FAR superior to the studio version. That same album has a live version of Sunshine of your love that completely blows the well known studio recording away.

Speaking of Cream. While Clapton's work after Cream is obviously well known. The albums by Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker IMO are far more interesting and adventurous. One of my favorites from a album that seems lost to time. It's been out of print for many years.

In my current listening 'rotation':
Ambrosia's debut album - A great prog rock album before they turned top-40.
Diamonds are Forever soundtrack - One of the great composer John Barry's best James Bond film scores.
Error in the System by Peter Schilling - I love 80's music, and 'Major Tom' was one of the best songs of that decade.
The soundtrack from the original Deus Ex game - Great electronica music from a great game.
Guitar Noir by Steve Hackett - Another strong album from the old Genesis guitarist.
Vulture Culture by the Alan Parsons Project - They wrote the book on pop music with a progressive twist.

Local girl made good Candice Night singing Joan Baez's Diamond and Rust:

I love this song because of the wonderful imagery:

[FONT=Arial Narrow, Arial]Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there [/FONT]

It is also a powerfully emotional song.

Long Islander Candice Night does the song justice.

Now for something complete different: Portishead's Wandering Star

[video=youtube;gEQNAZGoZrw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEQNAZGoZrw[/video]

So cheery:

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For its such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever....

Portishead is definitely on the fringe of experimental music, but they make it work somehow.

I dedicate this song to Nexus6. It is Andrew Bayer's Nexus 6:

[Paul M. Weir]

Currently a very strange mix

Hole: Nobody's Daughter
Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs: It's Blitz!
Avril Lavigne: Goodby Lullaby
Bat For Lashes: Two Suns
Courtney Love: America's Sweetheart
Richard Wagner: Die Walküre

 

[prymus]

Zappa...Camarillo Brillo
Doors...Strange Days

 

[volgaG68]

Lesley West-"Mountain" Ten Years After-"Watt" Humble Pie-"The Best Of..." (3-disc CD changer on SHUFFLE)

 

[prymus]

Ahh, Ten Years After. Group put on one of the most memorable performances at Woodstock doing "I'm going home" with Alvin Lee. Classic.

 

[volgaG68]

Yes,that was a performance for 'the ages'. Just don't make me pick my favorite guitarist between Alvin Lee and Lesley West.....that would tear my psyche asunder.
