I can say that this video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRiJ07bH638" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRiJ07bH638</a> is my favorite. It's not very colourful, but it's very pleasant to realise I was at that concert. That evening I heard Gabriel Faure's "Pavane" in his performance and it became my favorite since then. Recently I found a new record made by him with the same name of my favorite composition "Pavane" at eclassical.com. The cd also includes works of Debussy, Dubugnon and Ravel. It's amazing!

I've a lot of friends who are purists now who won't listen to anything but tape or vinyl and can't fathom why digital is used other than for convenience. lol I'm glad I squirreled some cassettes away too <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> marzgirl on "Your Favorite Music Videos" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/your-favorite-music-videos/page/28#post-281173 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:56:32 +0000 marzgirl 281173@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <blockquote><cite>Nitro <a href="//www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/your-favorite-music-videos/page/28#post-280283"">said</a>:</cite> That was great Marz, thanks for putting that up <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> I rmember my older kin nearly falling down dead in a lather every time that song came on.

He loves both Iron Man movies but was absolutly horrified that I knew the words to every song on the soundtrack. Until then he thought it kicked ass!! When he found out mom also thought it kicked ass......not so much. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_rolleyes.gif" title=":roll:" class="bb_smilies" /> I told him "Dude, I had to hide my AC/DC cassette from my mom between my waterbed mattress and frame when I was 13."

Rare is the cover song that does justice to the original! This is I think my favorite cover. This song either was played alot on the radio when I was a kid or my dad had it on 8track. Yes, 8 TRACK. Just reminds me of driving around with my dad. <a href="http://youtu.be/BO1qcWa6blQ" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/BO1qcWa6blQ</a> marzgirl on "Your Favorite Music Videos" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/your-favorite-music-videos/page/28#post-279683 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 10:49:56 +0000 marzgirl 279683@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Happy Christmas!

Hands down the best cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" I've ever heard. I detest LZ and everything they stand for fully, (sorry to Zep fans, i just always have - but i wuv yooooo)..thanx to 'Zen for Primates', I got through the entire song and was actually happy about it! Roth's nearly deadpan performance and the way the song ends....and that cello graphic is too cool... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWK_yhBu5DM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWK_yhBu5DM</a> The lead singer, TLRoth, used to front a band called 'Another Pretty Face'. I think. Seems like a multi-talented guy and group. It's nice to see a truly unique band instead of just some faceless entity calling them unique indie band instead of when the typically contrived versions of 'unique' indie bands pushed by supposed music critics, when so many bands seem more put together to sell hair putty and pointy boots than true creativity....that's kind of forgiveable of anything Cowell's stink gets on...but it's not much forgiveable otherwise... I mean...white hair in a rock band...un-f-ing-believable!!!
