R.I.P. Lou Reed
Well said Hodu. 
Music websites
I like www.livedownloads.com This site is for soundboard recordings supported by the performers. Not necessarily audiophile, but lots of great music nonetheless. Bruce Hornsby has a few free downloads to try by the way. Have fun! 
Female Vocalists Galore "Respond II" Album
Thanks for the heads up. A lot of these old benefit discs are great. 99x, a long gone alternative radio station here in Atlanta, released several benefit "Live X" cd's through the years. The early ones have great recordings of The Indigo Girls, Cr... 
Brian Wilson/Jeff Beck
Point well taken about the mutual respect between Wilson and Beck. I have seen both separately. I saw the Beach Boys about five years ago and it was lip synch city. Brian Wilson stepped away from the mike to grab a couple of girls from the audienc... 
Bands where U say
A lot of great references. I thought Morphine was really original and fantastic. How about Tommy Bolin or even Elvis. Although Elvis probably would have been painful through the disco era. I also think Lucky Dube would have continued to make a glo... 
Humor In Music
Zappa and Zevon are two of the great humorists. I think that Pete Townshend's lyrics are full of funny double-entendres. Try singing the innocent chorus of "Squeezebox" going "in and out and in and out" and "playing all night" without a smile. Of ...

Pink Floyd on Pandora
The holy grail for the music industry right now is to create a cloud based subscription service locking consumers into a monthly payment that can be raised over time like the television cable model. The complexities come into play when the cash fl... 
Songs With Best Ending
Having watched "Woodstock" on VH1 this week, the ending chords of Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner" are pretty distinctive and memorable for an entire generation. 
Why does most new music suck?
With artists like Kanye West becoming the self-proclaimed "voice of a generation", I would look to earlier more creative times for inspiration if I were a member of today's younger generation. The interesting part of this thread to me is not the l...

Johnny Clegg
Johnny Clegg is South African. His music includes interesting harmonies and rhythms. His lyrics are often about Zulu tribal history and the complexities of South African society. I am particularly fond of "Impi" which is about the Zulu/British bat...

Love Johnny Clegg and Jaluka- really original and good fun.
