Vertigo58 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Vinton Listen to the lyrics in each song and whisper them in to your girlfriend or wives ear and see what happens. You won't leave the house for a few days. With lyrics like: Forgive me for wanting you so, But one thing I want you to know, I've loved you since heaven knows when, There! I've said it again.

Herb A. has always been ahead of his time. I still remember hearing Tijuana Taxi as the theme for The Dating Game. As soon as it started playing we kids would start dancing to it! The jerk, the swim, etc. Simply 60's! I am pretty sure he also helped create A & M records and made stars out of some like The Carpenters. he still produces modern music to this day. We worship.

northbeaumont Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 There is a new artist named Michael Buble, who scarily sounds just like Sinatra. It is NOT an impersonation, he just sounds like Frank when he sings. Buble is really good."Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Abbey Road" by The Beatles were two classic albums.

Vertigo58 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I just noticed Bernard Herrmann on here. I love Bernard Herrmann's scores. Coincidentally, Last night I was viewing one of my fav Twiight Zone DVDs and B Herrmanns name was in the titles at the beginning of the film. So not only did he work with Sir Alfred Hitchcock on now infamous pictures he also worked with Rod Serling for Twilight Zone. I listened real close to the score as the show went on and it made such an impact on the drama on screen. The piercing violins and full orchestra, much too much. The carousel scene is the best part IMO. I'm still blown away. By the way the film was a short called "Within Walking Distance" my all time fav. Holding back the tears. Trivia: The park in the episode is said to be inspired by Recreation Park in Rod Serling's hometown of Binghamton, New York. Like the park in "Walking Distance", Recreation Park has a carousel and a bandstand. There is a plaque in the Recreation Park bandstand commemorating the episode. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734689/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always hoping a similar CD will be released with Hermann's scores from "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour", but considering that show is not as widely seen in syndication or as popular at "The Twilight Zone", I don't expect one anytime in the near future. He did some excellent work for the Hitchcock TV series: "The Jar", "Where The Woodbine Twineth", etc. I wish I could get my hands on the isolated scores.

TheNiche Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 my mom found an album that she thought i would like. Harry Nilsson's As time goes by is a classic i must recommend. I just finished listening to it and am starting it over.....please add to the list for me.I've only just got around to scanning through this thread. I strongly concur with mentions of the Moody Blues (although some of the interludes and lyrics on their albums are self-centered and preachy), Santana, mid- and late-Beatles, and early Fleetwood Mac.In addition, all Hendrix is good, most Zeppelin is good, and most Janis Joplin is good. I especially like Joplin's cover of "Summertime"...it's good for sitting beside a slow-moving river in the shade and humidity. In my mind, 13th Floor Elevators were also highly influential. Their first two albums, but especially Easter Everywhere, are favorites. Even though Roky was largely absent from the last album, Bull of the Woods, I do like the funky stuff that Stacy Sutherland played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea this even existed. Thanks! PS, if you get desperate and cannot find the items you mentioned either go in person to any Barnes & Noble or simply call and they can order the music you want at no extra cost. Then also you will never beleive what treasures you can find at Half Price Books. I found a very rare DVD the other day The Ramones Rock N Roll High School. I thought I was seeing things when I spotted it! only $6.00 bux, I slammed my $ down and fled out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlySayWhat Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Vertigo, have you heard "Twisted Nerve"? It instantly became one of my favorite Hermann pieces when I heard it months ago. It was a theme written for a '60s movie of the same name; a movie about a mentally retarted boy who kills people. It starred Haley Mills. Apparently it was too controversial and wasn't realeased in the U.S. The tune became popular when it was used in one of the "Kill Bill" movies years later. I've never seen either film, but I love the song.You can hear it here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1xZVTps2PH8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very relaxing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimberlySayWhat Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I reckon I might have to check out some bossa nova. As far as I know I'm only familiar with "Blame it on the Bossa Nova" song. My dad talked a lot about Edie Gormie and that guy who sang with her when I was growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
