Day 11: A song that comforts your soul

Peter Gabriel with Paula Cole, "Don't Give Up"

We all know that the original recording with Kate Bush is beautiful. I like this one even better. Paula Cole was only about 25 years old when she got a cold call from Peter Gabriel asking her to jump in to his Secret World tour, replacing Sinéad O'Connor. According to Wikipedia, this video was shot only a few days after she joined the tour. Imagine being a young unknown thrust onto stage to perform a universally loved song (and many others in the concert) alongside one of the great innovators of modern music. And she nails it. Listen to that exquisite phrasing in her final solo, including the 'we're proud of who you are' at around 4:50. And the band is of course, exceptional.

Day10. Your most played band of all time

Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot

I hate a few of their songs but what I love, I return to over and over again. And I've followed their solo careers, which haven't been bad. In fact, Kim Gordon has been astonishing. Love her endless experimentation in pop and art.

I had/have such a rockstar crush on Kim Gordon.

Great song too!!

Day 11: A song that comforts your soul

First of all, happy Mother’s Day to you, Moms! And if your not a mom, then Happy Mother’s Day to your moms! I lost my mom this year and I am thinking Of how unselfish she was. Great lady.

Mellow music doesn’t make me soulful, but real soul music does. Maybe it’s funk? Orchestral music?

Onna the best!

I hope everyone who changed the prompt from band to artist doesn't get a hiding

You’re so right…

There’s a whole lineup of people who fucked up on this one, there’s the ones who changed the prompt and posted accordingly- like @Bry1313 and @Cjbdd and @onanismaddict , and there’s also those who copied the prompt correctly but answered as if they didn’t- like @PassionatePanther and @aussiegeekygal … there are others probably but these are the ones I grabbed at a glance.

Cheaters, the whole lot of you.

I don’t know what you are talking about, the band is “the revolution”. Although Hannah Waddingham can shame bell me anytime

So, The Revolution is your most played band, yet you didn’t give them even a slight mention in your original (pre-edit) posting? Interesting

Day 10: Your most played band of all time

Easy peasy to determine the band, the song took a tad more thought. I forgot how wonderfully weird this video is and that tipped the scales

The Killers - Spaceman

I went the third route -- changed it to "artist" and chose a band. We got the trifecta.

Just kidding, of course.
I honestly didn’t even notice it should’ve been a band until @curious_slut ratted us out. What’s done is done.

 

[PearlyDewdrops]

I had/have such a rockstar crush on Kim Gordon.

Great song too!!

She was so sexy on stage. From the start, from I Dreamed I Dream back in 82, she brought the erotic, gender politics and style to the band. Feminist and fun. Pop culture and high art.

If you haven't read it, I recommend Girl in a Band it's a great autobiography. Without her they'd have been Black Flag, Fugazi, Big Black, Dinosaur Jr. Jesus Lizard good. But she's that bridge between Ut, Lydia Lunch and the riot grrrls.
