[Music] Songs that are sublime both 'full' and 'acoustic''

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This is devine. One of my absolute fave bands

That's magnificent. Vienna is my favourite song from the 80's and I've not heard that version before, love it.

Linkin Park - Crawling. This is a very special song for me, not only did it introduce me to Linkin Park, but at the time I was in a very dark place, homeless, addicted to drugs, only saw my life going one way. This song spoke to me, it described exactly how I was feeling, lost, insecure, fragile, hopeless, but one line in particular really stuck with me, "Against my will I stand beside my own reflection", I hated who I was and this opened my eyes and stuck with me throughout my recovery and rebuilding my life.
22yrs later, drug free for 22yrs, lovely home with a beautiful girlfriend, decent job, just passed my driving test, all thanks to a kick up the arse from a random song I heard. Thank you Linkin Park.

He’s playing Las Vegas next week, I might go. Probably a lot has changed since the ‘I’m Your Man’ tour.

Seeing Midge again next month in a small club in Toronto (the iconic El Mocambo). It's going to be a weird evening. Seeing him in one room, then when he's finished, it is off to another room to see ABC (never was a big fan but we'll see). Separate concerts on separate stages in one venue on one evening. Bit like a micro festival I suppose. And seeing China Crisis there ten days before that. Going on a nostalgia trip - late midlife (china) crisis?

Wow, that sound like a good schedule, I’m just a tad jealous - ABC were very underrated, hopefully they have aged well.

Have to admit I didn’t know China Crisis were still around, you will have to let us know what they’re like now! Which brings us neatly to this...

In a similar vein:





Cornell's voice is (was) just so devastatingly beautiful.

Sublime you say? This will do it

That was part of te genius of Joe Jackson - a lot changed with every tour (and pretty much every album too). New band, some new songs, and a radical re-working of some of his classics. I couldn't find them all in a hurry on Youtube, but the various versions of Stepping Out (the versions on Night and Day and The Big World for example) are wondrous to behold.

Now there's one for that underrated thread. He wrote and performed some great songs and was also great on stage.

Agreed. Fantastic body of work, and so varied.

I saw them upstairs at the O2 islington about ten years ago doing a mix of old and new songs. They were excellent.

Personal faves, can't say which I prefer tbf

Me neither. And I'm not sure if I prefer HHMM to All Apologies either.

That's extraordinary.

And some cultures ban music

I love the music threads on NSC.
