Well, I got a pair of Zune gift cards totalling $50 (can purchase up to 50 songs) for my birthday.
I'm trying to break out of my country/southern rock shell, so any suggestions would be great. ;)
PS, it will probably be awhile before I can download any songs. I'm downloading an episode of Ghost Hunters right now (mostly as an experiment to test the 80 GB Zune's video capability), and it's taking FOREVER (mostly has to do with the apartment's shitty internet connection)! :censored: I need a beer... anyone got any? :-)
-
I am interested in this thread as I need some good music to load my zune as well.
-
Try "Is That All There Is?" by Peggy Lee.

Is a Zune better then an Ipod?
Serious question, I don't know...my 8-track walkman is getting a little heavy....back in the day 24lbs was not bad for a walkman...
-
Thanks, BC. I see some good ones in that list that deserve to be on my Zune (I've heard most of them...) :)
However, a friend of mine is going to loan me his Led Zeppelin cds for ripping to the mp3 player, so I'll be getting that for free. :-)

Stone Temple Pilots: Creep, Interstate Love Song
Deftones: Shove It, Change (In the House of Flies)
The Postal Service: Such Great Heights, Sleeping In, Brand New Colony
Beck: The New Pollution, Debra

Oooh, now ya done it. We're going to have a Zune vs. iPod war on our hands, thanks to you. :p
The Zune kicks ass, btw. :bolt:

I'm drinking a Bud Light Lime right now. You're welcome to have one. :cheersmate:
As far as tunage goes, I mostly listen to a Christian station...Casting Crowns, David Crowder Band...that sort of thing.

Are they both about the same price? Easy to use, etc??? If so I will just buy a zune.

Is the beer good? I had the Miller w/lime....it was yummy...
I just had a Casting Crowns CD in.....I love the song "if we are the body"
Now I am listening to Blondies Greatest Hits........."call me" still rocks!

I've never had the beer with lime in it... I'll have to try it one of these days.
That's something else I needed to check into...some Christian rock. I have yet to check, but I'm hoping the Zune Marketplace has music from Skillet available. (I'm still waiting on that damn download to finish).

Depends on what size you want... I have the 80 GB, which is $250 (mine was a Christmas present). I'm never going to be able to fill it up, though. :lmao:
They range in size from 4, 8, 30 and 80 GB (with the price range running from $130 to $250).
If you want smaller and cheaper than that, you may have to go with an iPod. Microsoft hasn't developed anything smaller than the 4 GB Zune yet.

A second episode of Ghost Hunters would be my suggestion. That's a great show :cheersmate:
-
Explore 70s (the entire decade) music if you haven`t yet.
There are sounds and styles for everyone.

I'm downloading one I haven't seen yet, from season 3, when they visited Ireland. I'm hoping it's worth it. :popcorn:

PS, for those who also own Zunes, I have to ask y'all a question: That points system in the Zune Marketplace is teh ghey, is it not? :mental:

well my mom always asks me what I want for Christmas and never know what to say, so I could say Zune and she would say WTF?
She would think it was a zune buggy for the desert....LOL
yeah, I am spoiled....freaking big time...don't tell anyone....I love my mom

How's this for diversity... these are all albums I HAD to have on my iPod when my wife got me my 80 GB last Christmas:
Moody Blues: Days of Future Passed (<-- the full length version of Nights in White Satin is the most majestic song ever)
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
Alison Krauss & Union Station: Live
Entire Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin catalouge (honestly, how can anyone go wrong there?)
Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street (I'll never get tired of Can't You Hear Me Knockin, Wild Horses, Tumbling Dice, and Sweet Virginia)... in fact, I got Fourty Licks because they just have too many good songs not to get the most up to date greatest hits collection
The Beatles: Help (you gotta Hide Your Love Away) and the White Album (while my guitar gently weeps)
Any collection of Tchaikovsky works (Nutcracker selections, the 1812 Festival Overture, it tickles my inner culture-snob, what can I say)
There's tons more. I could go on and on about what I've got on my iPod :hyper: :-)

Get "Die, MF'er Die" by Dope......
Red October, you MUST be OLD!!! :tongue:

This is true, they're an excellent group. But I feel they're live album was a cut above the rest. Their high-water mark, if you will.

:old: Kids these days! Gimme a glass of whiskey on the rocks with some smooth late night jazz any day. Or a Sam Adams Boston Lager and some classic rock.
Or bowl of Cali bud and some dope-ass gansta beats... I can do it all!

Okay, Ghost Hunters episode "Irish Ruins" is now on the Zune. The picture quality is stunning. :o
Now I can download some MUSIC! :-)

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Greatest Hits"
Beatles "Revolver" or "Rubber Soul" and "Abbey Road"
Jefferson Airplane "Surrealistic Pillow"
The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds"

Carole King "Tapestry"
Cass Elliot "Cass Elliot" (RCA-1972)
Rolling Stones "Exile On Main Street"
The Doors "Strange Days"
Fleetwood Mac "Rumours"
Original soundtrack "Star Wars"
That'll get you from the midish-1960's - 1978.

I wish someone would of told me it was not Friday before I started making margaritas
ACC...you need Jimmy Buffet...
-
:thatsright: Shame on me for forgetting Janis Joplin and the Doors!
But there's also the Zombies (She's Not There, Time of the Season) and Tommy James and the Shondells (Crimson & Clover, Crystal Blue Persuasion) and Creedence Clearwater Revival (millions of hit singles to choose from) you'll need to complete the 60's.

I have bought several Jimmy Buffett cds...but my mom has them right now (loaned them to her for a road trip to Mississippi ) I left some blank discs at home, so I'll ask her to make copies for me.
Good thing the RIAA lost that case where they tried to stop people from ripping cds. Most of the music on my Zune right now has been ripped from cds. :uhsure:
-
I can't get that song, Voodoo Child by the Rogue Traders out of my head since I posted it in the Doctor Who thread.
And of course you can't go wrong with Beethoven's Ninth
And Casta Diva by Filippa Giordano is really good:
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1heO5DaqZw[/youtube]
And Cusco has some good albums. The first song on Apuramac II, Montezuma, is probably my favorite but I like other albums one the whole better.
And, um, You Only Live Twice by Nancy Sinatra but the movie version not the over produced version I think is available on one of her albums.
And the Aria projects by Paul Schwartz are really good. Ombra Mai Fu from Aria 3 is probably my favorite.
And the Opera Band, Whisper of Angels is really good and Song to the Moon and they also have a version of Band of Brothers that is really good.
And Mozart, the overture to The Marriage of Figaro, which I think opens the 1980's movie Trading Places and is the musical key in Willy Wonka, and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and the 40th symphony.

This reminds me that Acid Eaters by the Ramones is an excellent collection of cover songs.

ACC, ya might be into some of the stuff that I'm into (well, nothing like Suffocation and Behemoth, but lighter). Have ya tried, oh, Killswitch Engage, Bullets For My Valentine, Staind, Lacuna Coil, or Theory of A Deadman. That's if ya wanna lean towards the more harder rock though.

I've only heard of two of those groups (Lacuna Coil and Staind) and definitely like them. :) I'll take a look at the others on YouTube (if available), when I get a chance tomorrow.

"Yummy"? "Yummy"??? Yummy????
Men describe beer as hearty, full-bodied, hits the spot, good for what ails ya, awesome, solid, quenching, or even the ever--useful "good."
Men do NOT describe ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY BEER as "yummy."

Well, I got a pair of Zune gift cards totalling $50 (can purchase up to 50 songs) for my birthday.
I'm trying to break out of my country/southern rock shell, so any suggestions would be great. ;)
PS, it will probably be awhile before I can download any songs. I'm downloading an episode of Ghost Hunters right now (mostly as an experiment to test the 80 GB Zune's video capability), and it's taking FOREVER (mostly has to do with the apartment's shitty internet connection)! :censored: I need a beer... anyone got any? :-)
You can do what I do. Check out the groups and singers on MySpace. You can listen to 3-4 songs of most groups. Almost every popular group has a page on there, and some put up thier songs from their current CDs. There is also a way of downloading most songs that the artist has listed.(Free, I might add) I listen mainly to country music, but have gotten tired of the same old crap played on the radio. So I started downloading unknow artists songs from myspace.

I'd love to be able to do that, but:
I have yet to figure out how to take songs from internet sources other than the Zune MarketPlace and put them on my Zune mp3 player. :(
Someone here gave me a link to be able to do that, but I lost it when Firefox started having issues and I had to clear everything out. :bawl:

You need some "X" (a California punk rock group), some Chicago, especially, "Questions 67 & 68". Yes would be a good addition, as well as Rick Wakeman's albums (post Yes). Let's not forget some Disco from the mid 70s!!! BTW, did I tell you that I have 90 GB of music on my hard drive??
-
okay, I've downloaded several songs so far... should I post them, or shall I wait until my silly Zune points have been exhausted? (I've got about 3300 left)?
:popcorn:

Okay, here we go with the first 10 songs:
SOme songs were of my own choice, btw... but I did keep suggestions in mind of course:
1.) 3 Doors Down "It's Not My Time"
2.) Led Zeppelin "Houses of The Holy"
3.) Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven"
4.) Allison Krauss and Union Station "Restless"
5.) Allison Krauss and Union Station "Goodbye is All We Have"
6.) Dope "You Spin Me Round" (will download "Die M'F'er Die" in the next batch of songs, as soon as I preview it first. LOL )
7.) Godsmack "I Stand Alone" (downloaded this and the following two after getting pestered by a friend :lmao:)
8). Godsmack "VooDoo"
9.) Godsmack "Awake"
10.) Weezer "Buddy Holly" (again, pestered into downloading it by a friend :whatever:)
Next batch is coming up, as soon as I peruse this thread again for more ideas...it can be difficult, because many of the suggested bands are not available on the Zune Marketplace. :bawl:
-
You need some RHCP in there, too

There should be a permanent one. We could start with the question, when did music officially die? Then offer 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001, still great (I of course vote 1971 was the beginning of the end and 1981 was the end).

MTV effectively killed music, although there was a little revival in 1991.
My philosophy is that ugly people play better music.
As examples, I give you the Rolling Stones. Bob Dylan. The Band. The Allman Brothers.

Possibly. I think it started with The Beatles and their overproduced "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album released in June 1, 1967. The Beatles had the talent and the results were remarkable (making it look easy), but unfortunately the album opened the floodgates. Afterwards, everyone with a guitar pick and a misplaced desire thought they could cover up what they lacked in talent with a slick production and strategically placed feedback.
-

Agreed. Look at all the f**king garbage we have that passes for "music" these days.

But back to the recommendations...
I've yet to see anyone call for Van Morrison. Some of the best music of the late 60's/early 70's, including Moondance, Brown Eyed Girl, Have I Told You Lately, and Into the Mystic.
Great stuff to unwind to after a crappy day.
Then again, when I've had a REALLY crappy day, it's me, a few beers, and SEAL's first (1991 self-titled) album.

That's a great suggestion. I'm trying to remember all the oldies that I loved to listen to as a child (when my stepdad took me to school, he'd ALWAYS have the oldies station on in the car) I've been downloading older music today, mostly (predominantly CCR), and I'm trying to create a broad spectrum of music from different decades and genres.
-

:o Are you serious?

Another group you might want to consider is Steely Dan. Pick your fave, just not "Hey Nineteen".
Personally, I'll go with Kid Charlemagne, Aja, Do It Again, FM, Black Friday, Peg, Josie...
Then again, Donald Fagen had some good stuff with the Nightfly album...(IGY, New Frontier)...
But hey, it's your player...

'Sho am. He's a poker player, so am I. We've bumped heads (and chips) a few times in Seabrook. I even ran into him last year in Vegas the day he got knocked out of the Main Event.

Yep, and it also depends on whether or not those artists are available for download off of the Zune Marketplace. I checked with a few of those names I don't recognize. Their albums are listed, but are NOT available to download as of yet. :banghead: It's very annoying that they (Microsoft) do that.
-
I've found lots of bands I never bothered to listen to before by using the Pandora station I set up. Sure, Testament, Exodus, and Kreator have been around since the 80's, but it's not like they got played on the radio. Ditto for Motorhead.

Trust me, iTunes isn't much better. I've been looking for a lot of stuff I don't want to buy/can't buy (things like Midnight Oil, Radiohead, Tool, etc), only to find they don't exist in Apple's so-called "million song library"...bull-SHIT!

Another group you might want to consider is Steely Dan. Pick your fave, just not "Hey Nineteen".
Personally, I'll go with Kid Charlemagne, Aja, Do It Again, FM, Black Friday, Peg, Josie...
Then again, Donald Fagen had some good stuff with the Nightfly album...(IGY, New Frontier)...
But hey, it's your player...
Yep, and it also depends on whether or not those artists are available for download off of the Zune Marketplace. I checked with a few of those names I don't recognize. Their albums are listed, but are NOT available to download as of yet. :banghead: It's very annoying that they (Microsoft) do that.

This situation is why I intend to just start borrowing cds from others and ripping them to the player. :uhsure:

Well, I got a pair of Zune gift cards totalling $50 (can purchase up to 50 songs) for my birthday.
I'm trying to break out of my country/southern rock shell, so any suggestions would be great. ;)
PS, it will probably be awhile before I can download any songs. I'm downloading an episode of Ghost Hunters right now (mostly as an experiment to test the 80 GB Zune's video capability), and it's taking FOREVER (mostly has to do with the apartment's shitty internet connection)! :censored: I need a beer... anyone got any? :-)
You can do what I do. Check out the groups and singers on MySpace. You can listen to 3-4 songs of most groups. Almost every popular group has a page on there, and some put up thier songs from their current CDs. There is also a way of downloading most songs that the artist has listed.(Free, I might add) I listen mainly to country music, but have gotten tired of the same old crap played on the radio. So I started downloading unknow artists songs from myspace.
I'd love to be able to do that, but:
I have yet to figure out how to take songs from internet sources other than the Zune MarketPlace and put them on my Zune mp3 player. :(
Someone here gave me a link to be able to do that, but I lost it when Firefox started having issues and I had to clear everything out. :bawl:
I use mozilla firefox and the video download helper extension. I just change the file type to .mp3 after downloading, and also save the fils as the artist and song name.

Okay, I'll give that a try. Thanks. :)

It sounds like the theme tune for "Fresh Prince of Bel Air."
