I'm back from my trip and see someone has reserected this thread. Excellent.
My first band is an awesome band called Flogging Molly. They're and Irish-Folk-Punk band. I guess that would be what you would label them. No one else sounds like them.
Flogging Molly - The Likes of You Again. This one reminds me of friends lost and always reminds me to celebrate them in a positive way.
Flogging Molly - Selfish Man. They have some slower songs but this isn't one.
This one is live whereas the other one had clips of some live stuff from different shows.
The most moving song on the most moving instrument in my opinion...
Bagpipes - Amazing Grace. A piper played this at my friends gravesite recently on remembrance day. It was one of the most moving experiences moments of my life. I'm not religious at all but i've never consider the bagpipe version to be. I'm sure someone will disagree.
I used tot hink the next band was only alright until I seen em live. Now I love listening to them. I just recently seen them again aswell.
Casualties - Get Off My Back

I don't know what you mean by "proper" stuff. It's all "proper" in my book.Plotinus said:
But this was a priceless clip and piece of music. Thanks!
Time for a bit of Bo Diddley, another rock and roll pioneer. The first major figure in popular music to treat the percussion section as a real part of the band rather than just the timekeeper. His classic "shave and a haircut - two bits" rhythm is still heard all the time in modern R&B. Bo Diddley has spent much of his career being bitter and disheartened because it turned out that you can copyright a tune, and you can copyright lyrics, but you can't copyright a beat. All the same, no-one has ever sounded like Bo Diddley, partly because of the extraordinary way he plays the guitar. He learned the violin as a child and didn't know what to do with a guitar when he got one. As a child he also experimented by plucking a wire attached to the wall of his house - what they used to call a "diddley bow", hence the name (his real name is Elias McDaniel). He's never stopped experimenting - he built most of those strange-shaped guitars himself, including the famous rectangular one, and I believe he even made the first tremolo out of some parts from a car engine. Also, I think he's one of the best singers of the early rockers.
I once saw a clip of Bo Diddley performing Who Do You Love? on a huge stage in the 1970s. It was the purest, most distilled essence of rock and roll of all time. It made you want to jump up and down and set fire to things. Alas, it doesn't seem to be on YouTube. Perhaps that's just as well.
Bo in 1955. My mother thought that Buddy Holly wrote this song!
Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley
Bo in 1960. A shame the sound's not so great here and it's too short. But check out the footwork and the cool second guitarist! That's Peggy Jones, who met Bo Diddley when she was a teenager. Her first instrument was the ukelele, but he taught her to play the guitar in his style and she became known as "Lady Bo" - the name she still performs under. She was the first female lead guitarist to be hired by any major artist, apparently, and it was at the age of 17. She'd have been about 20 when this recording was made.
Road Runner - Bo Diddley
This must be from the same period (Lady Bo left his band in 1961 to form her own, although in later years she would often back him again). Have you ever seen a set of backing singers like these? The sound's rather thin again, but you certainly get a sense of the occasion. This is like Beatlemania five years early.
Hey, Bo Diddley! - Bo Diddley
Bo in 1970, as raucous as ever. But it's not the same without maracas. The tambourine player here is Cookie Vee, about whom I know nothing except that she normally sang second vocals and performed with him for many years. How the audience reactions have changed from ten years earlier...
