afx Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Guess that didn't work, can anyone tell me how to post a video? The forum doesn't play nice with Internet Explorer. I always use Google Chrome to post anything.
Danny Lectro Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks Miles. I'll have to get you [or someone] to walk me through posting videos sometime. I have no idea what I was doing wrong. I find if you paste a "YouTube.com" link in the reply box, straight from your browser's address field, the forum software will post it as embedded. For some reason, it doesn't work with the "youtu.be" links you get sometimes when you use YouTube's share function, especially on mobile devices.
JTalmage Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Most recently... Carlos Montoya: Suite Flamenca with full symphony orchestra. Don't ask why, because I don't know... but I like that stuff for some reason. Loves me some spanish guitar.
unclescott58 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) I have two. Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds. And a real obscure one, Louis de Rochemont's Windjammer. A great album sound track from an even more obscure movie of the same name. Scott Edited December 30, 2014 by unclescott58

Danny Lectro Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I've been really enjoying the Phase 2 album by Daikaiju. They are an instrumental surf rock band from Alabama. I first heard them on the opening and closing theme music for the Escape Pod science fiction podcast. My favorite song on the album is "Choujikuu Mitsukai" (I can't find a YouTube video, sorry). You can listen and buy at the link below. http://daikaiju.bandcamp.com/album/phase-2 Edited January 4, 2015 by Danny Lectro
afx Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I encourage all the Zeppelin fans to check out Robert Plant | Allison Krauss - Raising Sand. Wonderfully recorded and produced album. Although I think Allison Krauss steals the show. I could pick any song of this album as they are all great but I'll just give you these two. This is my favorite track on the album, a Tom Waits' cover. Edited February 27, 2015 by afx
Jantrix Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Two things actually. Never was into punk at all, but THIS is a hell of an album. And I discovered this band through an Evanescence search on Pandora. This is symphonic metal. A great metal band fronted by an operatic mezzo-soprano. very unique and dramatic.
JTalmage Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Strange how awesome symphony and metal is together isnt it????? I mean, there was Metallica S&M album, and then I later heard Avenged Sevenfold's "City of Evil" album and it had similar qualities
W-409 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 My favorite: Power Meet 1994 Single: This Limited Edition 7" Single was made for 1994 Power Meet in Sweden. It has The Go Getters playing Go Go Go To The Power Meet on side one and The Hi-Winders playing It Takes A Whole Lotta Power on side two. Both of the bands are excellent Rockabilly groups. I found this record by accident on a local shop that sells Rock 'n' Roll & Rockabilly records. Here is a video of The Go Getters' Go Go Go To The Power Meet:
afx Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Two things actually. Never was into punk at all, but THIS is a hell of an album. There are few Siouxsie & the Banshees songs I like and they did a great cover of the Beatles - Dear Prudence. Also really like this one. Edited February 27, 2015 by afx

I mean, there was Metallica S&M album, and then I later heard Avenged Sevenfold's "City of Evil" album and it had similar qualities Yes. And through Pandora I have discovered that there are quite a lot of similar bands. Kamelot, Epica, Within Temptation, that are just as good.
jwrass Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 In 1978 I was looking at the vinyl at Woolworths. In the bargain section I found Meet The Beatles on the Vee Jay Label!!! ( very rare) I think I paid a dollar for it. I have always played all of my vinyl with high quality diamond needles so it is in perfect shape! My only regret now is that I actually opened it. But much like vintage model kits what's the fun in that!!!!
afx Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 I have some rare vinyl - first issue, German, Japanese and MoFi pressing and I play them all. I buy them so I can enjoy them not only the next person that owns them.
Shelby 427 1965 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) This is an album I discovered when it came out last year, when I randomly gave it a shot based on the album art, and reignited a flame with an artist I had grown up with but long forgotten about, who now has a completely different style. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Wanderlust (2014) Eastern European influences combined with folk tales and waltzes. It's really eclectic and you either love it or you hate it but I absolutely adore it and totally fell in love with the album from the first listen. It's a mixture of pop music and folk music, all sung by a beautiful posh english accent. For example, this one's about a witch that steals people's souls and immortalises them in photographs. Lovely. Video's pretty cool too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmPM-LZ-6y8 Highly recommend the album. Was my favourite album of 2014 by far. Edited February 27, 2015 by Shelby 427 1965

Roadrunner Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I can think of many, but this one is as good as any I suppose, though not obscure, at least by my standards.
