. . . Not bad, I liked the first two best. I've already got one Barenaked Ladies CD that I liked, and I'm thinking that maybe I should pick another one up now.
Thanks again...
I think the Barenaked Ladies were at their best at the start of their career, and have steadily tapered down ever since.
Gordon is a solid album and the disc I hope you own,
Maybe You Should Drive is excellent,
Born On a Pirate Ship was a stumble,
Stunt and
Maroon are respectably good, and everything after that I just haven't been able to like all that much
I went on a binge in the iTunes store last week, so the new (to my collection) music is what I'm listening to today
Don't Follow Me -- Carly Paradis. A classically-trained pianist, Carly's
Hearts to Symphony album was plugged by Phil Plait on his Bad Astronomy blog. Fantastic recommendation, if you like music that's mysterious and moody in tone
I Can't Drive 55 -- Sammy Hagar. Standard rock radio fare
The Pirate Song -- Spray. A nice mellow change for this pair of British dance-electronic musical nihilists
Toccata and Fugue in D minor for Organ -- Johann Sebastian Bach. I already had the Toccata in my collection, but not the Fugue. This was part of
The 50 Darkest Pieces of Classical Music compilation, which at six bucks is a hell of a good value
Carmina Burana: Fortunæ plango vulnera -- Carl Orff. Also part of the above compilation. "O Fortuna" from the same work is very well known, and was the basis of a Rickard's Red commercial last year
Currently listening to Are You Ready to Fly? by Dune. A late-90's rave act from either Denmark or Germany, their music is all about getting sweaty on a dance floor
