The Stranglers - "Greatest Hits";
Hard-Fi - "Once Upon A Time In The West";
Dead Sixties - "Riot Radio".

At least my compulsion to listen to "Butterfly" by Crazy Town continuously has well and truly abated!

Check out his wikipedia page: it's kind of cool that no one seems to know anything about his real identity.  At times, it's believed he was the alter-ego of either Andy Kaufman, Don Novello or Frank Zappa... 2 out of three of those guys are dead now, so that should narrow down the field.

He does bear an odd resemblence to Novello.  Freaky.

Are you kidding me?  LEON REDBONE!!??  He's great!  There's lots of LEON REDBONE available.  Try amazon. 

Sorry.

I really didn't know he was like, that readily available.  MOST people I know don't even know who he is.  I just started listening to him recently, myself.  He's really good from what I've heard, but downloading stuff only gets you so many songs, so I asked.

  Do not misunderstand.  I am impressed that you came to LEON REDBONE (of all artists) by yourself, a happenstance.  I say "Are you kidding me?" because I can't believe you discovered him at all!!  Keep up the good work, you'll be a rich man someday.        

It's shocking.  But, from what I've heard, the dude's great.  Right now I'm listening to a mix cd I made featuring about 14 or so of his songs.  Enough to get me through until I can hit the store.  I figured with a raise coming to me in a couple of weeks I can pick up a few of his cd's. 

I'm also looking to get some Bach and Vivaldi that the Border's Books has.

Happy, do you have something by Bach in mind, or are you open to suggestions?  Bach's m'man.

Follow the Leader by Korn

Any suggestions would be helpful.  I saw a whole selection at the store, but couldn't decide between this one of Vivaldi I wanted, or one of Bach's.  After like, 15 minutes, I dropped the issue, said "I'll be back" and just got a copy of Salinger's The Catcher in The Rye.

Ah, it depends what you like.  If you like solo piano music, you probably want Glenn Gould's performances of THE WELL TEMPERED CLAVIER; they're consider the greatest ever made.  They may be a little expensive, though.

Since you like Vivaldi you may want something with a full orchestra--then you'd be looking at THE BRANDENBERG CONCERTOS.  Those have been recorded more often than any of Bach's other pieces and it should be easy to find a decent recording.

If you like choral/sacred music, the last Bach album I cited can't be beat.  You'll have to remember the cantata numbers.

Another favorite recording is the SUITES FOR UNACOMPANIED CELLO as performed by Rostopovich.

The first Bach album I loved was an orchestration of THE ART OF THE FUGUE (written for harpsichord) for string quartet, performed by The Julliard Quartet.  Magical stuff.

If you can stand organ music you'll want a copy of the TOCCATA AND FUGUE IN D MINOR (it should be on any collection of Bach's organ music).  I like the performance by Karl Richter.

And there's much more.  Where to start depends on whether you like full orchestra, vocals or keyboard music.  Bach wrote well over 1000 individual pieces of music.

Organ music is great, depending.  Lately I've just been listening to like, everything.  Odd.  Used to be strictly rock/punk, but now sprawls out to country, jazz, classical.  People are shocked that I have Marilyn Manson and Dean Martin in my collection.

Thanks for the suggestions.
