You young punks. This is not old music. Mozart is old music.
Actually, it's funny that you say that. I just picked up a collection of 100 classical pieces from Bach to Mozart to Handel for practically nothing. I haven't gotten around to listening to it, but I'm pretty excited.
Another back-up for Supertramp. I heard Q107 play a side of 'Live in Paris' and I remembered thinking to myself: 'I would kill a nun to own that vinyl'. So I checked my Vinyl collection (most of which was purchased in bulk under dubious conditions), and it turns out I already owned it, 2 LPs in near mint condition.
And Michael Jackson, thats right, I said it. Einstein married his cousin, Ghandi's family hated him, MJ did some weird shizin with little boys, whatever, he gave us Thriller.
Just saw Across the Universe, didn't care much for the movie itself, but Cocker singing "Come Together" reminded me of a what great singer he really is. I'm making a playlist of music for our son when he's born in about 3 weeks, and I had to include Joe Cocker's version of "A Little Help From My Friends." Absolutely fantastic, god I loved the Wonder Years...

Joy Division..started listening to them last year and they are amazing, you can tell how many newer bands are influenced by them.

I REALLY need to get into them, because I love whatever I hear.
Someone mentioned Stone Roses - great band.
For those that like The Clash, check out Big Audio Dynamite. Mick Jones's band post-Clash. For some reason I never really looked into them. A couple weeks ago I checked into their catalogue, some great stuff. Not for everyone, but like I said, fun for people who like The Clash. If you like elements from Sandinista!, you'll like B.A.D.

I've recently discovered that The Kinks are responsible for 80% of the cool songs that you never knew who performed them.
I agree.. After watching the Darjeeling Limited I couldn't get some of the songs out of my head and then found that all of those songs were on Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Pt. 1

If you are into the punk Stiff Little Fingers is a great band and always worth checking out or checking out again.
Every now and than I have to pull out some Robert Johnson or Leadbelly.
I like my punk but I must admit I am not all to familiar with the Clashes body of work. I know the usual suspects but not the deeper cuts. I will have to get some albums. They have come up a lot lately in conversations and chats.
And Michael Jackson, thats right, I said it. Einstein married his cousin, Ghandi's family hated him, MJ did some weird shizin with little boys, whatever, he gave us Thriller.
Lol. I was in Chapters last week for about an hour. During that time, a couple of MJ songs got played. Lo and behold, at the till they were selling the 25 anniversary Thriller CD DVD set. $17.99. I couldn't pass it up.
Not a new discovery by any means, but I've recently been listening to some old stuff that I haven't played for a while ... The Grateful Dead, Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield and Mungo Jerry.
