        Just poppin’ in to say that it’s nice to update this thread with more and more songs that I and others who aren’t me publish. Today I got to add a Joel Plaskett song that I collaborated with MrPrezident on into the thread and a great Wombats tune that I wanted but didn’t have to make, thanks to BornGamerRob. Dope!

         

        Also, this is my suggestions thread. So, please, don’t suggest suggestions for me to suggest. <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

        Hi, is this a thread where I can request songs/albums?

         

        I’d love to see some Jean-Luc Ponty songs from the albums Cosmic Messenger, Fables, Enigmatic Ocean, Civilized Evil or a Taste for passion.

         

        The artist IQ also got some pretty cool albums I’d love to see: Frequency, Are You sitting comfortably? and Tales from the Lush Attic.

         

        Personally I just play drums and consider picking up keyboard. I would LOVE to see songs from these amazing albums to be made for Rock Band 3!

          No.

           

          Moving on…

           

          In the past 6 months, many more songs initially featured years ago in this thread have been released. Do you have a song you want to get into the game? Then learn to author! If I did it, so can you!

            American Aquarium

            American+Aquarium.jpg

            Background: I only began listening to American Aquarium in the past year or so, but they’ve dominated my scobbles since then. I got to see them perform live last year and it was enthralling. Singer/songwriter BJ Barham is enrapturing when on stage (and an awesome dude off-stage!) and I highly recommend you catch their show if they come to your area! Today I got an email about them coming back to town this spring, and in anticipation of seeing them perform for a second time, I put on six of their albums while at work and landed here to share these recommendations with you.

            The Obvious Choice:

            The World is On Fire

            Album: Things Change (2018)

            I got a baby girl comin’ in the spring
            I worry ’bout the world she’s comin’ into
            But she’ll have my fight
            She’ll have her mama’s fire
            If anyone builds a wall in her journey, baby, bust right through

            I was enraptured the first time I heard this song, and it was the tune that got me into the band. The lyrics are so compelling and depressing and hopeful, which is the exact cocktail I need after a long day of living in this increasingly chaotic, unpredictable world. I can’t deny that it helps that the song is (heavily) implicitly anti-Trump.

            Vocals: Male lead with female harmony accompanying. I love BJ’s voice so much, and this song showcases the gravitas he brings to the band’s music.
            Guitar: Gorgeous pedal steel guitar and a solo to boot.
            Bass: Somber and nothing special.
            Drums: Simplistic but intense.
            Keys: Hammond Organ, of course.
            Miscellaneous: Crisp ending.

            Runner-Up:

            Burn.Flicker.Die.

            Album: Burn.Flicker.Die. (2012)

            Every now and then she still crosses my mind
            And by every now and then I mean most of the time
            By every now and then I mean all of the time…

            A moving song about mortality and love. In the past year, BJ has rapidly become one of my favorite lyricists, and this song is a great example of why.

            Vocals: Some good opportunities for drunken sing-alongs with your friends. Just try not to get emotional!
            Guitar: Standard alt-country stuff.
            Bass: Basic but it should keep your interest.
            Drums: A bit more interesting than above. Your heart should be pounding.
            Keys: Some sparse organ hiding in the background, but nothing necessary for full-banding.
            Miscellaneous: Crisp ending.

            The Personal Favorite:

            PBR Promenade

            Album: Dances for the Lonely (2009)

            Your blue eyes like a lighthouse on that dark, deserted shore
            And I am just a broken ship at sea…

            First things first: Pabst Blue Ribbon has a bad reputation, but it isn’t awful. In fact, increasingly, when I go to shows that’s the beer I’ll get, because it’s cheap and inoffensive. Second things second: this song is about as country as I get, and I love every minute of it.

            Vocals: Very sparse harmonies. The melody is the star this time.
            Guitar: Whining and somber, but of course there’s a delightful solo.
            Bass: Basic.
            Drums: Basic stuff.
            Keys: None.
            Miscellaneous: Crisp ending.

             

            The Change of Pace:

            Tellin’ a Lie

            Album: The Bible & The Bottle (2008)

            And your blue eyes like a lighthouse on that dark, deserted shore
            And I am just a broken ship at sea…

            Well, I accidentally chose three real downers for the above choices, so I wanted to pick up the pace with something faster and fun. This one is guaranteed to getcher body movin’!

            Vocals: This one is much more about the instruments than the vocals (for once), so let the band rock while you sing along.
            Guitar: An upbeat alt-country fair with an awesome solo!
            Bass: Bouncy and fun!
            Drums: Fun and interesting!
            Keys: Lots of organ, an organ solo, piano, a piano solo, and a violin solo. Everything is happening.
            Miscellaneous: Big rock ending. Because obviously.
