Sorry, not feeling very serious today :-)

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. But if you want serious, I'd say Horowitz playing anything.

He causes me to love whatever he recites.

[nytemare]

7. Love Eric Idle's songs.

"Fuck You Very Much" by him was great!

[opiate69]

6. OK...

12. She is great.

I loved that time in the 90's when the singer/songwriter were big. It was all about people like Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Sheryl Crow.

Now, the pendulum has swung to the bubblegum crap. Hopefully, the pendulum will come back again soon.

8. One of Natalie Merchant's best

Verdi Cries

This song touched me profoundly when it first came out, I was around 18 and I used to play it over and over.

[nytemare]

9. After the Goldrush

[nytemare]

11. I love his voice.

You can hear the sadness in it. Funny thing about him is, his voice really isn't good. I sort of relate him to Peter Gabriel. The voices don't have astounding clarity, but they have a great ernestness to them.

And, Neil Young is a great songwriter. "Harvest Moon" was my favorite from him.

13. Mike Keneally - "I, Drum-Running, Am Clapboard Bound"

Composed by Keneally, originally on the "Sluggo!" album with full orchestration.

"Because the Night" by Patti Smith and crew from 1978.

[taterguy]

17. Why are they covering 10,000 Maniacs?

[rockymountaindem]

19. Heh. Good one n/t

[swag]

23. Off topic, but Glenn Gould playing Goldberg Variations + Aria 1-7,

very close to his death, but I don't see how that can add any poignance or depth to these amazing performances:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7LWANJFHEs

(First variation, i.e., second song, makes me so happy).

[idgiehkt]

24. The Fray - How to save a Life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHg2q5M6WnY

Beautiful song, and the piano is really touching.

[idgiehkt]

25. Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch - Good Vibrations

I love the piano in this song. Probably doesn't count but the guy is really talented and does some nice riffs at the end (starts around the 3 minute mark). Never have found out who it is though.

[idgiehkt]

28. ROFLMAO!!!

I am on a funky bunch crusade, my friend. I figured I'd get nailed for putting that song in here but I just love the piano at the end of it, it's gorgeous. :hi:
