While I generally feel that 90s songs have aged very poorly, I Want it That Way is an enduring timeless modern classic.
Bowie is timeless.David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
Turn up the volume, get off your chair and dance LOL... Epic in the day and remains to be so.

Terrific choice.
I saw the first night of the tour in June 1974 in Montreal. Very theatrical with costumes and sets. After a couple of months this approach was dropped in favour of a stripped down show. A change of band included. Interesting read on Wiki.David Bowie - Diamond Dogs

I must give thanks to my now departed parents for allowing me at 15 years of age to travel into downtown Montreal to see many fabulous concerts at the Montreal Forum. What wonderful memories.

I came across this one thanks to the YouTube algorithm. It's a cover of Pink Floyd's Pigs (Three Different Ones) by Mark Davis. The Pink Floyd, by the way, is planning to release a deluxe addition this fall of the classic album Animals that will be remixed in high resolution stereo. It's been delayed for years because Roger Waters just can't seem to get along with anyone.
dang
Tried to upload a video from my phone from The Shins show Wednesday night... oh well. They were great !

A few pieces of Baroque music are keeping me company this Friday night, as August proceeds apace.
Chaconne, composed by Francois Le Cocq (1685-1729); and another Chaconne, this one composed by Robert de Visée (1655-1732/3).
And these were followed by Marionas - composed by Gaspar Sanz (1640-1710). And Jacanas, also courtesy of Gaspar Sanz.
Next, was Bergamasca, by Giovanni Battista Vitelli (1632-1692).
Lovely, just lovely.

A British classic group from the 1990s:
Blur.
Two of their superb albums:
Parklife, and The Great Escape.

A few tracks from The Shadows (such as Apache, Guitar Tango, Man Of Mystery, Wonderful Land, The Savage), followed by a few from Link Wray (Rumble, Ramble, etc).
Six years ago tonight The Tragically Hip played their last concert. For those who are not familiar with this great Canadian group, lead vocalist and lyricist Gord Downie had been diagnosed with a brain tumour a few months earlier. This video features 10 of their best songs and the second is a video of their last song from their last concert August 20, 2016. I recommend you explore their albums.
The second album, released in 1969 and the one on which Ian Anderson took full control of music and lyrics and the one which introduced new guitarist Martin Barre.
Ah.The second album, released in 1969 and the one on which Ian Anderson took full control of music and lyrics and the one which introduced new guitarist Martin Barre.
An utterly brilliant album; thanks for the timely reminder, as I haven't listened to them in an absolute age.
One of the most influential albums from the Quebec music scene. The first of three albums from the group Harmonium, the self-titled 1974 release. This was followed by the excellent album Cinq Saisons.
Note: One can fully enjoy this wonderful album without any knowledge of the French language.
Here is a 9 minute documentary on the band.

Keeping with the Canadian theme, hard to believe it was 50 years ago...
Is it not available for purchase so you can rip it to hard disk?
Not in my region (United States). I've also never seen the CD available for purchase anywhere. But I recently got a VPN so I may try it out again.
