What are you listening to? An ongoing music recommendation thread

[Cornelia]

I've recently discovered a bunch of new (to me) music on Lala and thought it would be fun to share links to songs here. Music is like oxygen to me - and many of us, I'm sure - I can't live without it. It enriches and relaxes me when I take deep, thoughtful breaths of it. I want to hear what YOU are listening to, too.
You can link to Lala songs (like I have) or Myspace or Amazon pages or any other way that we can hear part or all of a song.

I'll start with two different types of songs. A very pretty, rich and slightly bitter song:

Head Full Of Doubt/Road Full O...

And a heavier, headbanging but dreamy ditty from a Boston favorite of mine:

Son of Man - Bloodhorse

Whatcha got??

Between Christmas and New Year, I stumbled upon some old Frank Zappa from his "Apostrophe" album. When I first bought this album, I lived, ate, slept and bathed with my headphones on, cranked to the max:

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

Man! That's right up there with the Declaration of Independence.... the Ten Commandments... King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Truer words have never been spoken to the human race, eh?? ;-)

Being that I play piano and violin, I LOVE some classical- Chopin and Beethoven are my favs, followed by Yurima and Andre Rieu... Any instrumentals, movie soundtracks etc are great :)

And, my guilty pleasure- 80's hair bands LOL Poison, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi are my stand outs there heheheh

Anything by Brandi Carlile.
Can't wait to see her at the end of the month in NH 2 nights in a row 2nd and 10th row seats.
I am so excited I can't even think.
