You're right...............but I love them so much. I think they are modern classics. I will always remember one night in Schmuleks Pub, Ben Yehuda, Tel-Aviv, when Ricochet was played on ' The Voice of Peace' The whole pub stopped what they were doing to listen. BTW do you remember 'The Voice of Peace, broadcast from somewhere in the medditerranean' The ship at that time was the Mee-amigo which I believe was used quite recently to ressurrect radio Caroline. VOP was the best radio station I have ever heard,even better than the original Radio Caroline.

How about '<deleted>' in the Riggin' by the Sex Pistols? Now that's a clasic!

Oh Dear............someone who hasn't heard of Tangerine Dream! Although by his comments and avtar it's probably Mozart and Beethoven he hasn't heard of.

Ekol ha Shalom - I sure do - and you are 100% correct in your assesment of the station.

Abie Nathan owned the ship, which he sadly sank in the late '90s.

There's a short homage and history, plus some sound clips on http://www.deltaforce.net/~amnon/rabin.html

I've just been on VOP web-site. It gives the whole story. Although there is no mention of the Mi-amigo. Maybe I was wrong there.

Classical is such a big field...I don't think I could make a list up....if I did I would have to at least make one just for piano and another for the rest.

I get my classical music over the internet from KING FM out of Seattle....oh...and by the way I get my jazz music from KPLU FM out of Tacoma....in case anyone has been looking for this stuff.

Is that this one http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/5383/ ?

Welshman · May 31, 2005

Hmm, obviously you can't pick up Classic FM in Thailand. Of all the things I'll miss when I move over there in August, it'll be listening to Classic FM on the car radio.

And I remember the orginal Carolines (there were two of them) one anchored somewhere off the coast of Rhyl (where I grew up) and another off the east coast. I was stationed in Suffolk for a while with the RAF and I particularly remember Caroline there and Radio London, along with two of their budding stars called Dave Cash and Kenny Everret!

Top 10 Classics? - depends what 'turns you on', I suppose

1 Any of the Brahms Symphonies

2 Finlandia, Sibelius

3 Adagio in G by Albinoni (brings tears to my eyes)

4 Concierto di Aranjuez by Rodrigo (ditto above)

5 Nimrod (from the Enigma variations)

6 Ma Vlast by Smetana

7 The Great Gate at Kiev (from Pictures at an Exhibition) Mussorgsky

8 The Eroica by Beethoven

9 The March to the Scaffold by Berlioz

10 How about the whole of the last part of The Last Night at the Proms, Rule Britannia and all !

Sir Burr · May 31, 2005

Rachmaninov - Concertos No. 2 and No. 4.

Thanks for the lists guys, I've just started downloading some classical music since I got broadband and it's hard to find all the tracks I know in my head as never studied them so your've gave me good reminders there.

You know I read that listening to classical music before and exam improved the exam results of students in a study, it's meant to temporarily boost your IQ, anybody know anymore about this?

I've been using it a lot to work to rather than my usual music, whats the more chilled out stuff, Beethoven seems a bit too heavy sometimes?

What was the peice called that they used to use on the old Quantas adverts?

I've also heard that playing Mozart has quite a marked effect on cows when they're being milked - so, the next time you're in the cowshed.......

You're dead right it does. I was a relief milker for a while when I was studying.

Switch the radio over to a classic music station (especially if the full time milker listened to Radio one), and it was increased milk production and a guaranteed offer of a job next year from the boss.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

<deleted> in the Riggin was a favourite back in the 60s when I was in the RAF in Singapore. I can't remember how many verses there were (seemed to go on forever) but it was very derogatory towards matelots (Royal Navy)!

lampard10 · May 31, 2005

O.K. you've heard my first three now for the rest. No surprises here; They're all firm favourites

4) Going Home...............New World...........Dvorak

5) Jupiter.......................Planets................Holst

6) Karalia Suite.........................................Sibelius(also good by 'The Nice'

7) Final movement 1812 Overture...............Tchaikovsky

8) Ride of the Valkaries..............................Wagner

9) Morning mood from Peer Gynt ..................Grieg

10) Rachmaninov's piano concerto No3..........Rachmaninov

I could add ' The Funeral March of the Marrionettes' but I'm not sure who wrote it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Maybe VOP played Euro trash during its later years, but as an old man, who can still taste the desert dust in my mouth, I must defend its influence on the Middle East, and on particularly Israeli culture.

Those who were in the army before and during the Yom Kippur War faced the biggest trauma the young State had endured – it could be argued the biggest trauma the State has ever endured. The hutzpah of the post Six Day war period was shattered and Israel was almost humiliated by the shock of the Yom Kippur war: its unexpected beginning; the nearness of defeat; the terrible loss of life. For the first time in a generation, doubts about Israel’s future were being voiced.

Couple this with, in the USA, UK and most of Europe, an anti-establishment youth culture, united in its opposition to the Vietnam War, and often expressed through music and films. Many of these movies most of mainstream Israel, had sought to isolate itself from - there were Kibbutzim that would not show films such as Hair, Woodstock etc. because the pioneers were afraid these films would have a bad influence on their young. The IDF radio station and Kol Israel played 99% home-grown music (not in itself necessarily a bad thing, but all pop culture tries to emulate the innovators in its genre, and these innovators were to be found in the UK and the USA).

Then along came Abie Nathan (already a controversial figure in Israel) and the Voice of Peace radio ship. Not only, overnight was the youth of Israel exposed to the musical revolutions of the ‘60s and ‘70s but for the first time in Israel there was heard a voice (Abie Nathan) who unashamedly advocated peace with Israel’s neighbours.

I have seen with my own eyes, a whole platoon of IDF soldiers – all of whom would undoubtedly offer their lives for the State of Israel (some who sadly did), singing in unison, with tears in their eyes, with Edwin Starr, “WAR – What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again.” as it was played from the VOP.

The Voice of Peace laid the seeds for Peace Now (Shalom Achshav) thus influencing the great Yitzak Rabin, who created the road to peace with secure borders, the State of Israel will, in the very near future, experience for the first time in the State’s history.

What are you spouting on about? Just dated ourselves?. Yes, just dated ourselves to growing up when music was music and not the rubbish you hear tody. Late sixties,early seventies was the time for MUSIC.There will never be a time again like it. Eurotrash..........must have been a word you picked up and don't know how to use And I.D.F. better than V.O.P. That's okay if you don't want to hear how the Israeli's and Palastinians can live side by side, but would rather hear how the Jews are going to pound seven shades of sh1t out of the Arabs. OK Abbie Nathon might have been a bit of a nutter, but wern't all great men nutters?

BTW; VOP = Voice of Peace

IDF = Israeli Defense Forces ( who I worked for)

wooow.......

i introduced the kibbutznikim to the grateful dead........slow down....

unfortunately, nowadays, everybody here is into goa, shanty... wanna be hipppies (i was the last of the real thing when i came over here)u know , the rasta haired types floating aruond doing thailand, etc... until they come back and get a hair cut and become business majors ...and no musical taste: just introduced my son to harry belfonte as a precursor to reggae (mainstreaming local music);

uh oh, my daughter will be doing same same in three years, after army, fortunately, she knows how to be be thai-polite.....

cant seem to get these issan guys interested in any music at all thats not the dang kitikorn et al stuff..... not even falang rock.... and rap makes their hair stand on end... although britney spears did hold their interest on one of my kids' dvds... could have been because of the bouncing however, not the music...got my kids to enjoy carabou et al.... my dvd made the rounds of daughter's high school (an alternative school not mainstream)

oh, and i grew up on donovan, hair , later, jethro tull, etc etc sanatana....

unfortunately ring tones ahve ruined my taste for any music... blipping and bleeping and ringing (every israeli has three at least)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

you are Tommy M becoming the proper Grandpa's of this forum Lampard10

so whats the difference between 60s and 70s music (of which I'm a big fan) and the more modern music of today? Why was music then, really music?

There's still been great guitar bands after that time right? and we have had the hip hop culture in the 80s and 90s that produced a new wave of music. An what about the rave culture music?

Surely your opinion is biased by when you was out and about listening to tunes and dancing the funky chicken?

I think there is a lot of merit to music after that period of time myself, and as I say I'm a great fan of the 60s/70s, I love the the kinks, beatles, rolling stones, doors, janis joplin, the jam, the who, the velevet underground etc. but also get just as much buzz listening to beasties boys 1989 'pauls boutique' album.

Of course I'm biased, I'm an old fart. I was brought up with that music. Great music. Brilliant music. I can't say there were very many groups since then I have liked. The Pogues,Genesis,Yes,The Pet Shop Boys,Queen,A-HA,Duran Duran(maybe) I can't reaRlly name any more that I remotely liked. but the early years;

MoodyBlues,Kinks,Swinging Blue Jeans,Dave Clark 5,Beatles,Gerry and the Pacmakers,Small Faces,John Mayells Bluesbreakers,Alice Cooper, Hawkwind, Manfred Mann,Merseybeats,Barclay James Harvest,Uriah Heep, Nice, Colloseum, Creedence Clearwater Revival,Jefferson Airplane,Led Zeppelin,Focus,Earth and Fire,Rennaissance,Strawbs,Fairport Convention,Egdar Broughton Band,The Band, Rolling Stones,Animals,Mathews Southern Comfort, Yardbirds, Move, Troggs, Them, Bad Finger,Pink Floyd,.There's about 1/10 th of them. The list goes on and on..
