Broaden My Horizons Please... Musically

Fire Within -- Asian Crisis from the Rhythm Village Compilation

Hard Jazz, almost experimental. Acquired taste I guess.
 
A little musical history lesson.

"After Midnight"

J J wrote the song(s) and watching Clapton refuse to take center stage is refreshing. Paying homage to an old master.

Here's another where Clapton plays behind another master at his trade. Winwood is one of those writers/singers/instrumentalists whose songs everyone's heard but never knew who originally performed/wrote the music.

"Can't Find My Way Home."

It's time for an alteration in my musical universe. I'm rebuilding my car stick this weekend. I want upbeat music - nothing maudlin and nothing with a freakin' broken heart.

I am a fan of classic rock, 80s alternative Britpop, some pop (not too bubblegummy), old timey music from the 40s and 50s, jazz, some classic. I'm not a particular fan of harsh sounding music - harder rock, punk etc. For country, it depends.

I don't keep track of the newest and latest so I really don't know all what is out there. I'd love to get some suggestions. I'll take a listen to everything... even if it's not my normal, I'll at least give it a try.

Help? :cool:

All things Led Zeppelin is on the top of my list. Classic Rock stuff:
Floyd
Rush
Who
Bowie
Chicago

More modern:
Tedeshi Trucks are very good

For upbeat energy:
James Brown
Herbie Hancock

Jazz:
Joe Pass
 
The Album Leaf, 'Lost In The Fog'. Mellow, ambience, peaceful, instrumental ... but good drums.
 
Whether I've said it before or not ....

Noel Pointer (master Jazz violinist), Mirabella, Wayfaring Stranger, Noel's Song, Phantazia, Night Song, Rainstorm, Drive Time, Make It Real ....


All outstanding pieces. Relaxing, mellow, peaceful.
