Hey, Natural, did any of this group's member become a successful solo artist? I'm surprised I wasn't hip to them because they were popular when I was a nightclub DJ, and I loved to play those slow jams! (Still do!):

yeah, the lead singer went solo on a couple of movie soundtracks, starting with doing the re-make of the the Isley brothers song "Make Me Say it Again" on the 6th Man soundtrack
 
I`m glad you liked Supertramp Mr. Fingers. Do you remember the band Pure Prairie League? I believe they only had one album but it was a good one.
 
Pure Prairie League had one other kickass song called "Two Lane Highway", there may be others but those two songs that you and I mentioned were my favorites.
 
How about some ambient Music!!

Can't beat a little Brian Eno for mellow moody Saturday or Sunday afternoons.Try the "Music for Films" CD series."Ambient 4:On Land" and
"The Pearl".
He has most recently collaborated with long time friend Robert Fripp on a new album called "The Equatorial Stars",which is available at
www.disciplineglobalmobile.com or www.enoshop.co.uk

Socksoff! I use Eno's "Music For Airports" for some of my massage sessions. It is very relaxing and meditative. (An 89 year old client of mine turned me on to that CD!)
 
Hey, Pragmatic, didn't Toad The Wet Sprocket do a song called "Walk On The Ocean"? I loved that song.

This next group was a favorite of mine a few years ago. They actually sounded like a cross between Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles in some songs. Their best album, in my opinion, was "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska" but the songs won't play on the Windows Media Player, so I chose to represent them with their 'best of' album:

Featherfingers, you are right. Toad... did "Walk On the Ocean". It was on thier album "Fear" about 1991, 1992 (freshman year of college... wow that seems forever ago). Another on that album that got some radio play (at least in college towns) was "All I Want". The only other real radio songs were "Something's Always Wrong" and "Fall Down" off of the "Dulcinea" album. Truthfully, although I like those songs, some of my favorites are ones that didn't make the radio.

I think one of their songs was on "Empire Records", and they also had songs on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" the movie and "Friends".

Not sure why, but no matter how unpleasent a day is, a little Toad and I'm right as rain.

Prag, are any of those non-radio songs on this collection? As usual, scroll down and click on a selection:

Ever hear that Cure album that was a greatest hits, but included a bonus CD of all the same songs done acoustically? It was pretty cool.

I never figured out why all the ladies went ga-ga over The Cure! Must have been Robert Smith's hairdo... I'm actually surprised that I remember his name, too. I guess I never gave them a proper listen. Could this be the CD you were referring to?...

Followup... the other day, at the bank, I actually heard a Muzak version of "Something's Always Wrong". Talk about conflicted. I consider that to be my personal TtWS anthem song, but as elevator music? Not sure if that's good or bad.....

Wait till you get to be my age and you begin preferring Muzak to Rock... at least that's what my friends think of my Soft Rock of The 70s CD's. I'll bash 'em with my cane, I tells ya! (my friends, not my beloved CD's, that is)

You got me, man. Pained songs about love and lost love. Some women really dig that.

Not just women, man! I really dig love songs and tearjerkers... why? They just reach me in a way that other song styles don't. You know, sometimes I can hear one chord in a particular love song and it'll bring a tear to my eye. Sometimes the beauty of the music itself gets to me. That's why I love Classical music, too.

Here's a good example of a CD in my collection that gets to me nearly every time... especially "In Dreams" and "Running Scared"...

I would recommend to you a few other Eno CD's
1."Apollo:Atmospheres & Soundtracks"(1983) (with Daniel Lanois & Roger Eno)-Excellent spacey stuff.Put it on when the stars are out.
2."My Life in the Bush of Ghost"(1981)(with David Byrne)
Very interesting CD with Music put to recordings of miscellanous voices (ie.A Talk show host,A sermon,An Excorcism and more!)
3."Drawn from Life" (2004) His latest
4."Ambient 4:On Land" - Follow-up to Music for Airports
5."The Pearl" (1980's) & "A Plateaux of Mirrors" (with Brian Budd & Daniel Lanois) Spiritually wonderful stuff.

Have I led you wrong yet!?

Nope! You're a treasure trove of music knowledge! I'll keep these in mind. Thanks, socksoff!
 
This next album is not going to have you shaking your booty on the dance floor...most of the songs are haunting and at times sad. The singer is Francoise Hardy and she is very popular in France, but I'd like to make her popular with some of you. The album featured here is titled "If You Listen", and if you have RealPlayer, then you can listen to portions of songs. My personal favorites are "Let My Name Be Sorrow" (#6) and "Take My Hand For A While" (#10). She may sound a little unusual but that's because she normally sings in French, and she recorded 95% of this album in English. I hope you like her:

Sounds Great!!I like lamenting songs with strings.If it's a string section or a mellotron,I love it."The Ocean" sounds great!!!

There's some really mellow stuff on this Pat Metheny CD:
Anything by Pat,I've liked!

Hey Socksoff!
I'm glad you liked the CD I just mentioned. "The Ocean" is a great song. I'm a sucker for lush orchestration and tasteful mellotron, too. There are so many others I could name who incorporate all that into their music.

I just listened to the Pat Metheny samples... very good! Perfect for playing during my reflexology sessions, too. I couldn't get the Bill Bruford link to work, though. I'll keep trying. Thanks for the recommendations!
 
Alright, I just looked through my CD's so Here's some MORE!
