I listen to the 50's and 60's golden age of jazz, the 60's, 70's, and early 80's rock and roll, and some 90's grunge. what I like best about classic jazz is that usually there are no lyrics to care about, and most of it is impossible to dance to ...

my favorite jazz station is local independent radio, part of NPR. kuvo.org

I mostly listen to movie soundtracks, TV news and talk shows and real people such as my wife.  Sometimes I listen to Andrea Bocelli and folk or old timey music by means of bilibili on my computer.

Marisa Shirar, my neighbors' daughter, is the lead singer for this new group called Bedelia.  This is the group's first releases.  Really great stuff.  I love these.  I've known her since she was a kid.  I really encourage everyone to listen to these tunes and let me know what you think.

She is also the lead singer for a "heavy metal" group called Fleshwater.  Not my thing.

I have listening sessions with YouTube a few times a week.  These are some of the other tunes I've been listening to recently.  

Some more:

Great new tune:

This may be the greatest live performance I have ever heard.  A good friend of mine was Aretha's musical director for 40 years.  He did this performance with her.  He was also with Aretha at the White House.

Ok, so since the last one I sent to Gsquared was a bit harsh..... Try this one, it's more....understandable? I think you'll like it...

Lyrics
Watch this
I'm never enough
You bleed me dry, using me up
Dissatisfied and used
Another key to the empty spot in you
I'm sick as a fuck, I'm in my prime
What do you want? I guess it's time to see
If you're lost in hell, you'll find no peace
Ooh, wade through hate and fear
I haven't felt like this in years
Not much left, so uprooted
Fist clenched tight in the pockets of my hoodie
And I know where I need to go
But the voice of reason can't say no
It's in the eyes and heart
Just the latest psycho off the charts
That's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
I know, and even if I didn't
I would lie so many would believe it
Stand up and resist the chains
Of all the people in belligerent sick restraint
I wasn't enough, you bled me dry
Which way is up? Oh, you're a lie
And a fake, I hope that truth is not too late
That's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
That's what you do best
That's what you do best
That's what you do best (hahahaha)
(Why) why was it easy for you?
(Did) did I deserve the abuse?
(I) I can't believe I let it
(Not) not what I wanted
(See) see through your bullshit
(Your) you're so dramatic
(True) true to your form of
(Face) every consequence
(Un-) unintimidated
(-Til) 'til the very end
(It) it'll never happen
(Was) was it all a lie?
(Too) many motherfuckers
(Late) that's what you do best
(Lie) that's what you do best
(Lie) that's what you do best
That's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
Too much animosity
Nobody does it better than the enemy
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A home like yours is upside down
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
A hope like yours won't help me now
You can do your worst to me
At the end of the day, that's what you do best
That's what you do
That's what you do best, yeah
(What you do best) yeah
(What you do best)
(What you do best)
(What you do best)
(What you do best)
That's what you do best
That's what you do best

Ya think?

It's not the lyrics on the songs you posted.  I don't care about lyrics too much, although I do appreciate nice lyrics.  It's the "music" part I can't handle, the tune itself, the playing, the vocals, the over-all sound.  I can't listen to that stuff for more than about 5 seconds.  Same with the first song you posted for me.  I'm a classically trained musician since I was 8 years old (that's 65 years ago), and I was into music before that.  I play several instruments, including clarinet, guitar, bass guitar, or at least I did before I got bad arthritis in my fingers a few years ago.  I can pick out a tune on keyboards and play percussion.

You have anything else?

At your suggestion I went on YouTube, but found what I guess was the original version.  I must have watched about 8-10 seconds before I shut it down. That was really horrible.  The blues rock version you're referring to posted by John at Comment 16.2.1 above isn't too bad.  Actually pretty good.

Thanks for sharing!

I am a ROCK Music guy, but don't particularly like being screamed at in words I can't often distinguish, and sometimes thrash guitar riffs repetitiously blared at me, are not appealing, cause in my 'Man Cave' a peeling ears off my ceiling is watts i tend to be dealing. I have an ancient system mixed with some other not as ancient, but it certainly kicks assz, but my significant other with whom I rather recently moved in with, is on a mellower taste zone. Thus I try and find stuff we can both agree upon. 

 Being computer illiterate, I can't post videos anymore from Youtube, and the video that gave me great respect for the Slipknot singer was a collaboration he did with Dave Grohl, Rick Nielson , and a base player whose name i cant recall. The video is "from Can to Can't" and is an awesome all around song and there is a 19 minute version of them making it. Check it out if you have time, heck , someone post it, it is a song that I believe most would appreciate. 

Good stuff

Thanx again John. Most can see that the screaming vocalist from Slipknot has quite a decent voice (wwhen not wearing a mask and screaming) imho. Cheap Trick guitarist TEARS it up, Scott Leeder is a pretty famous base player , and Dave Grohl (Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame) wrote it and does percussion. Good stuff. From Can to Can't, lyrics start out with "will draw my line, moves to blur the line, to cross my line", . A lot of talent in this collaboration, again, imho
