Music that really stirs your emotions


ok, I know all music is suppose to stir your emotions . . . but stick with me.

I put the original Boz Scaggs album on the TT this morning. This has always been one of my favorites - I played it constantly while in college in the mid-70's, but haven't listened to it in over a year. Side 2 is one of the best album sides aver recorded IMO - the sequence of songs is perfect. Anyway, It's unavoidable to get sucked into "Loan me a Dime" from the beginning (foot tapping, head bobbing, etc), but about 3/4's of the way through Duane Allman's solo I begin to giggle uncontrollably. Then after all that, it goes into "Sweet Release", which really does help release all that energy from the prior track.

What music most stirs emotions for you - whether it's giggling, crying, or ?

"The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Corn", Allison Krause and Union Station, off the "New Favorite" release. I don't know what it is about it that gets me going. Great vocals with great guitar. It just touches me deeply.
Joe Strummer of The Clash got Glandular Fever from swallowing somebody else's gob back in those mad mad days of pogo and phelgm.
Fond memories (confession time) of exhanging spit, pretty disgusting thinking about it now, in the past when I was very young and extremely stupid, considering how dangerous it can be.
Yep, The Clash never equaled.
'English Civil War' does it for me everytime.
