Jockstar Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Personally i like British music. Some of the bands/artists you list i have never heard of. So cant comment on your music tastes. I like to think that i am open to different types of music. Many of my mates work in the music industry. But i have tried and tried to like Thai music, But really cant get into it. It seems to be mostly cheesy thai ballads. Why have you not got any Beatles in your collection? Surely this is the band that revolutioned music as we know it. Neil Young is good,The Clash were a rocking band, Never really got into the Pogues but at least i have heard of them. Theres a couple of other ones i have heard off. But most of them mean nothing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 When i get more time i will list my cd collection. Very varied and not just British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroll Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Interesting, some music you mentioned I heard about, but never listened to, like Lynrd Skynrd. I am more metal/Goth/hardrock, Metallica, Ministry (like the new album inspired by hating Bush, all track names relate to 'W' as in no W, Worm, Worthless, etc.), Monster Magnet, Lacrimas profundere, Cathedral, also classics such as Billy Idol, Ramones, Alice-in-Chains. With Thai music my problem is I cannot read Thai and made a number of mistakes buying what looks good. Can't go wrong with LOSO, Carabao, Taxi and traditional music from Isan- a good selection of all 3rd floor Emporium, Sukhumvit 24, it is labeled in English as well. Some friendly Thai music stalls are located around the Old Siam Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatter than harry Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Coinleach Glas an Fhomhair (The Green Stubble-Field of Autumn) Ar chonnlaigh ghlais an Fhoghmhair A stóirín gur dhearc mé uaim Ba deas do chos i mbróig 'Sba ró-dheas do leagan siubhail. Do ghruaidh ar dhath na rósaí 'Sdo chúirníní bhí fighte dlúith Monuar gan sinn 'ár bpósadh Nó'r bórd luinge 'triall 'un siubhail. Tá buachaillí na h-áite seo A' gartha 'gus ag éirghe teann Is lucht na gcochán árd A' deánamh fáruis do mo chailín donn Dá ngluaiseadh Rí na Spáinne Thar sáile 's a shlóighte cruinn Bhrúighfinn féar is fásach 'S bhéinn ar láimh le mo chailín donn. Ceannacht buaibh ar aontaigh' Dá mbínn agus mo chailín donn Gluais is tar a chéad-searc Nó go dtéidh muid thar Ghaoth-Bearra 'nonn Go sgartar ó n-a chéile Bárr na gcraobh 's an eala ón tuinn Ní sgarfar sin ó chéile 'S níl ach baois díbh á chur 'n mur gcionn. Chuir mé leitir scríobhtha Annsoir mo sweetheart agus casaoid ghéar Chuir sí chugam arís í Go rabh a croidhe istuigh i lár mo chléibh. Cum na h-eala is míne Ná'n síoda 's ná cluimh na n-éan Nach trom an osna ghním-se Nuair a smaoitighim ar a bheith 'sgaradh léi. 'Sé chuala mé Dé Domhnaigh Mar chómhrádh 'gabháil eadar mhnáibh Go rabh sí 'gabháil 'a pósadh Ar óigfhear dá bhfuil san áit. A stóirín glac mo chomhairle 'S a' foghmhar seo fan mar tá 'S cha leigim le 'bhfuil beo thú A stór nó 's tú mo ghrádh. I think you'll agree, that as far as songs go about buying cows from the market, that takes the biscuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
