  5. 1. Ektenia, St. Petersburg Litany,
    Priest and Choir of the Cathedral of the Transfiguration

    2. Ry Cooder’s Across the Borderline sung by Freddie Fender.

    3. Blind Faith, In the Color of the Lord

    edit: I should note that I don’t listen to radio music much, so all of the above are on CD.

  14. “That Smell”
    Lynyrd Skynyrd

    Was one of my brother’s favorites and he related it to the fact that “Big Pharma” killed him with tainted blood product.

    Yeah, I know I’m a bunch strange…

  23. Green Grass and Highways by The Outlaws, the long version of Time Has Come Today by The Chambers Brothers, Ride My Seesaw and Tuesday Afternoon by The Moody Blues, any song by Renaissance one of my favorite bands of the 70’s. Journey To The Center Of The Mind by Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes, Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull and Take A Pebble by Emerson Lake and Palmer and their version of Fanfare For The Common Man. And the whole album of Will The Circle Be Unbroken by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, which is bluegrass on steroids. The song Solid Ground by Delores Keane who is one of my favorite Irish woman musicians and many more.

  39. Edie Money.
    ZZ Top.
    And many more. If we had real music on the radio it would be fun to tune in too.
    The best we have here in Seattle is 1 hour on Sunday psychedelic sixty’s. Good music and the history to go with it.
    Old, very old I am.
    The new music on the air waves is crap.

  43. American Woman by those phookin’ Cannucks, The Guess Who.
    “Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
    Of course I have a warm spot in my heart for Crimson and Clover…… takes me back to a girl I new.

  48. I blew out some door speakers in my 1998 Acura Integra with a few favorite songs by Tom Petty after some personal romantic uplift or disappointment (Here comes my girl, Dont come around here no more, American girl, Refugee… etc). The door speakers were the only original equipment that was ever replaced under the “7-year” extended warranty (original cost $2000). So I learned my lesson: never buy the extended warranty again! Tom Petty (RIP) is still great volume 11 therapy!

  49. The Brazilian by Genesis, tears me up every time even though it is just an instrumental.
    Oh Yeah and Si Senor the Hairy Grill by Yello
    More Human than Human by White Zombie. That’s a bit out there.
    Lots of Zeppelin
    How about classical? Saint-Saens ‘Organ Symphony’ #3, Also Sprach Zarathustra opening,… I need to listen to more classical, I am forgetting so many.
    Oh, and have to include O Fortuna, from Orff’s Carmina Burana. After all my license plate is OH 42NA (the H is unnecessary, like an appendix, but O 42NA was taken).

  51. How could I forget Night on Bald Mountain???
    I am partial to Stowkowski’s version – yes, the one orchestrated for Fantasia. The toll of the bell at the absolute peak of the frenzy is a compelling transition.
    The ending with the oboe is absolute beauty.

  52. @ Claudia – THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK you…for a fun Friday night post. I was going to send a suggestion to you or @BFH that we here at IOTW have a Friday Night Jam.

    Peep’s can post there fave’s and we can all listen to what types of music each other listen to.

    The Great Bob Seeger and Against the Wind, gives me the chills every time I hear it.

    BTW C, if I ever had to put a super group together?

    Eric Burdon would be the lead singer. I crank anything by The Animals.

    House of the Rising Sun, one of the first songs I learned to play on the geetar a long time ago…

  54. Does listening to Firesign Theater’s albums loudly like Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers, How Can You Be In Two Places At Once And Not Be Anywhere At All, Waiting for The Electrician Or Someone Like Him, We’re All Bozo’s On this Bus etc. count as well. I like it a little louder so that I can hear all the nuance and the jokes and running gags thru out those classic albums. Maybe it’s also because it’s harder to hear the older I get. I probably deserve it from cranking the music up to warp factor 9 when I was younger. The one thing that I can’t stand is listening to music loudly with stereo earphones on.

  67. hurdy gurdy man…..led zep with donavan in place of robert plant……

    even my kid would turn this up to eleven….i know he keeps this saved on his cell phone……maybe his brother does too….

    in my little six by nine bedroom, in the 60s, i would play this song until i learned to play it on my cheapo hand-me-down guitar…..later, i got my own cheapo guitar, and learned to play tangerine puppet, sand and foam, and many other tricky donovan songs……he was THE MAN……nobody wants to remember him, for some reason, altho he was a really BIG THING at the time…..

    now i have thirteen guitars, some really pricey, and can’t play any of them, cause of a neck injury that keeps me unable to raise my left arm to finger the chords…..

    i got a whole $10,000 settlement from worker’s comp for my injury….YAY!!!

    getting old is not for sissies….

  74. Roam – B52’s
    (Reflects the crazy time period that I decided to pack my stuff, leave Ohio and move out “West”. A much more romantic vision than reality but I don’t regret it (much).

  76. DrRiff, Althea, Live, damn right. A Masterpiece.

    And Bridge of Sighs. Just about all Trower with Jimmy Dewar.

    I like a lot of The Guess Who, too.
