December 22, 201312 yr Tower of Power...killer horn section which for decades has set the standard for R&B, funk and soul bands. Maybe I'm a bit biased since I was a music performance major in college playing the trumpet and made a living doing it for a few years. The current lead sax player of TOP is a guy I went to school with and did some gigs with him many years ago. All that aside, the lyrics of their charts are great and their overall musicianship and class is tough to beat. They always have a lead singer who puts to shame any singer of today's pop, hip-hop crap bands.
December 22, 201312 yr This one has made me understand myself .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic1lQxsyEI0
December 23, 201312 yr Christopher Walken again Agree fully - one of the best tunes and dramas ever made.
December 23, 201312 yr Author Just so we are clear what the OP is about it's ... Musically, what defines you? Well closest you can do! Not, what music you may like ... there's other threads for that. Pick a tune, some have chosen two, that says it's you ... and post it ... .
December 23, 201312 yr I'm tone deaf. As am I ... but that doesn't stop us celebrating life! So, assuming there is life still in the 'ole ThaidDown ... may I humbly suggest that this is a window to your musical soul? I defy any who is not toe tapping now! Yes; I LOVE that; and also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avq9XirYhf4 Enjoy, David48

December 23, 201312 yr Author Jethro Tull: Too old to rock 'n roll, too young to die! ( ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tD9ME52HKDY I'm a Tull Fan, though sadly, never seem them in concert. I see how that could be a song that defines you. For those those unfamiliar with the lyrics ... Too old to rock 'n roll, too young to die The old rocker wore his hair too long Wore his trouser cuffs too tight Unfashionable to the end drank his ale too light Death's head belts buckle, yesterday's dreams The transport caf' prophet of doom Ringing no change in his double sewn seams In his post-war babe gloom Now he's too old to rock 'n' roll But he's too young to die Yes, he's too old to rock 'n' roll But he's too young to die He once owned a Harley Davidson And a triumph Bonneville Counted his friends in burned out spark plugs And prays that he always will But he's the last of the blue blood greasers boys And all of his mates are doing time Married with three kids up by the ring road Sold their souls straight down the line And some of them own little sports cars And meet at the tennis club do's For drinks on a Sunday, work on Monday They've thrown away their blue suede shoes Now they're too old to rock 'n' roll And they're too young to die And they're too old to rock 'n' roll And they're too young to die So the old rocker gets out his bike To make a ton before he takes his leave Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner Just like it used to be And as he flies, tears in his eyes His wind-whipped words echo the final take And he hits the trunk road doing around a 120 With no room left to brake And he was too old to rock 'n' roll But he was too young to die He was too old to rock 'n' roll And he was too young to die No, you're never too old to rock 'n' roll If you're too young to die No, you're never too old to rock 'n' roll But he was too young to die If I had to have a Tull song to define me, it would be Songs From the Wood, though friends might say that Thick as a Brick might be a better descriptor ... Since we are at that time ... I never knew until recently Tull had a Christmas Song. .
December 23, 201312 yr I see there's room in my collection for a Thaivisa cd now. You all have excellant ears!
December 23, 201312 yr For a long time: this ! especially the "she's got a boyfriend, anyways"- part... ...also this... ...but lately, especially with what is going on here... http://youtu.be/8FxaJKm9sdI
December 24, 201312 yr Way, way, way too eclectic. Roy Orbison could have sung the telephone directory, for me (although he was from the generation before mine as quality is, quite simply, age and timeless). But two that always float my boat are: My Life and the inspirational: Something Inside
December 24, 201312 yr Just so we are clear what the OP is about it's ... Musically, what defines you? Well closest you can do! Not, what music you may like ... there's other threads for that. Pick a tune, some have chosen two, that says it's you ... and post it ... . I just did. See above. Orbison I like to listen to. I hope my choices define me, though.
