So What's The Best Floating Music????

[pw_Tony]

Tons of stuff to listen to when you're floating down river and the suns going down... so what's everyone listen to?
My vote for the best Floating Band would be SUBLIME:D

[Rocknpalms]

Proud Mary

[HavasuSelect]

Excellent choice with Sublime. If you like Sublime you'd prob like Long Beach Dub All Stars. Pretty much the same band without Bradley.

[socalmoney]

We love sublime also but a close second is Marley

[HighRoller]

Another vote for Sublime. 40 oz to freedom is great but the live version is even better for a quiet day on the river.

[acatitude]

Proud Mary

[Zimm944]

Jack Johnson, Marley

[BoneDaddy]

Jimmy Buffet, Nickelback, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Lenny Kravitz, some Kid Rock and much much more.

[Pussywhippled]

Patrick Swayze - She's like the wind...

[pw_Tony]

[centerhill condor]

[franky]

Dark Side of the Moon, hands down. But I'm an old guy.
UB40

[rodnjen]

Stevie Ray Vaugh and some good blues.

[jh4rt]

But what about Dave Matthews?

[Not So Fast]

Have really got into the Marley family, Bob, Damian, Stephen are all good, I love reggae and for a newcomer how about John Mayor. NSF OH Geeze, I forgot Steel Pulse!!!!!!!!!!

[73kona455]

dire straits,journey,

[hazard]

Nothing like a little Creedence!
CCR is the best chill music when out on the boat. And I'm a young guy!
(Sublime is second)

[FloatTime]

Allman Brothers, Fillmore East

[phebus]

Now, the key is to get an iPod and create a "floating" list, and put it on random. iPod is the very best thing to happen to boat stereos. :D

[a catered life]

We love sublime also but a close second is Marley
bob or damien? you cant go wrong...:D

[franky]

Allman Brothers, Fillmore East
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed off of thatalbum is one of my top ten favorite songs.

[Not So Fast]

In Memory of Elizabeth Reed off of thatalbum is one of my top ten favorite songs.
We just watched from Netflix " Allman Brothers Band, Live at the Beacon". pretty good but some of the new stuff was, well, boring. Now the older stuff rocks but as with all living things I would not have recognized Greg Allman, the aging process is very unkind, I prefer to remember him as he was 30 years ago, sort of like I feel about myself ;) Its funny how I am retreating to oldies more so now because all (not all but most) the groups today are sounding alike and just not my taste. NSF

[Not So Fast]

bob or damien? you cant go wrong...:D
STEPHEN, "Mind Control" I like it more and more. NSF

[dcbracing32]

Stevie Ray Vaughan and some good blues.
SRV is amazing I agree with this guy. :D

[Cole Trickle]

Now, the key is to get an iPod and create a "floating" list, and put it on random. iPod is the very best thing to happen to boat stereos. :D
Agreed....I think I have everyone listed in my chill mix:) :)
Except Patrick Swayze;):eek:

[Cigalert]

I don't know what it is about the Verves version of Bittersweet Symphony but I just love that mellow tone.

[Chipster27]

Sublime
Jack Johnson
Dire Straights - money for nothing or so far away
Good Charolette - lifestyles of the rich and famous
The Cars
Ipod and the stereo interface is the best. I have a 5+ hour playlist called mellow river tunes.

[Pussywhippled]

Agreed....I think I have everyone listed in my chill mix:) :)
Except Patrick Swayze;):eek:
Ok, sorry if I offended you. Let me change my pick...
Bobby Light - Dirty Girl

[OverKill]

Pink Floyd, Division Bell

[havasurat27]

The crack ***** boat......................
Whatever mrsrvrluvr and hubby have on. Usually loud enough to hear anywhere in Havi.

[spectras only]

Ravel's Bolero ! 15 min long and great for making love in the stabbing cabin :D . I like the album "Who Else" from Jeff Beck , especially the song 'Angel's foot steps' .

[NoWorries]

Pink Floyd hands down.....Dark Side is good and so is Divsion Bell...Animals....Echos.....they are all good, and I too am a young guy. I have to say for the sun setting on the lake anything classic rock is dialed in. CCR, Peter Frampton (live version of course), the Doobie Bros. For some modern stuff I have to agree with Sublime and Social D great freakin bands.

[socalmoney]

If anyone wants to compare mp3 collections (hint hint) PM me.

[HitIt]

Agree with almost all the stuff posted. Some of the Beastie Boys mellow stuff is good too. "In Sound From Way Out" and the new one, "The Mix Up". If it isnt out yet you can download it.

[socalmoney]

"In Sound From Way Out".
Great album!!

[Biglue]

WTF guys??? Can't believe no one has brought up some Led Zeppelin.

[SHAWNINATOR]

i like a little WAR. lowrider oldies. and wheres all the votes for Hank3?

[Phat Matt]

What's funny is I don't hear any of this stuff out there. I only hear hip hop.

[Biglue]

What's funny is I don't hear any of this stuff out there. I only hear hip hop.
I was once a fan of hip hop. I'd rather listen to some classic rock nowadays and just chill.

[SHAWNINATOR]

ha. ya the ski nautique boats with 11 guys and no chicks on board and there blasting crappy and obnoxious hip-hop music. all of them are super white skinned college students from iowa.

[wright27]

Gwar!!!:D

[warlock]

Wuddabout Wayon?

[warlock]

Gwar!!!:D
Good choice! How 'bout some Agnostic front??

[NoWorries]

You are right everybody needs a little Led for the head. As far as the hip hop goes, maybe during the day getting everyone fired up dancing and drinking. When it comes to the end of the day you have to go classic rock and back to the Led.....Dazed and Confused...:shift:

[a catered life]

:confused: i see there is a lot of rock and very little rap listed :idea: so why is it every boat that goes by me in havi has more rap music playing than anything else...just wondering

[socalmoney]

WTF guys??? Can't believe no one has brought up some Led Zeppelin.
Cant get the Led out now that I know how many songs they ripped off from other artists.

[OverKill]

This guy named Denny Somach came on the Howard Sten show and presented a bunch of examples.
http://www.classicrockcentral.com/classic_rock_infocus.cfm
I can forward you the show if you want to listen. It is actually pretty fascinating.
Denny Somach Talks About Led Zeppelin Possibly Ripping Off Songs. 06/27/07. 9:10am
After the break we heard a prank call that the Touch Tone Terrorist guy made to High Pitch Eric asking him if he'd do some gay porn. We also heard a ''I Love Droppin Loads'' song parody. Howard came back as Fred was playing Bruce Springsteen's ''Jersey Girl.''
Howard said that Sal made a new prank call to a pizza place where he gives a last name that never ends. He quickly played that call where Sal just keeps going on and on with letter after letter in his last name... ''Trankyftrkpca.. rw3enca'' and on and on. He eventually gives him the last letter of O which was ''Oh man are you ****in stupid.''
Howard said this next guest, Denny Somach, is a guy he used to worship. he used to program a radio station that he wanted to be on years ago. he said he knows all kinds of radio information that he doesn't even know. He asked Denny when he got involved in the radio business. Denny said he was about 17 or 18. He went on to talk about some of the shows he used to produce in the years past. He mentioned a bunch of popular shows he used to produce and mentioned that he was asked to do a thing for Howard Stern back when he was at WNBC. Howard said he wanted to get his show syndicated back then but they ended up taking his idea and gave it to Soupy Sales instead. He said he flipped out on them about that. Denny said that they told him that he went and worked on a special for Howard to get him the syndicated show but it was the week he got fired. He said that they were going to go through with it up until he got fired.
Howard gave Denny a plug for his web site ClassicRockCentral.com and Denny said that he had all of this stuff they were about to talk about up on the site if the audience wanted to follow along. Howard said that Denny was going to show them some examples of how it appears that Led Zeppelin stole almost every one of their songs from other bands. They took credit for writing those songs for years but now Atlantic Records has started crediting the original writers on their latest Greatest Hits album.
Howard had Denny present them the evidence. the first song was ''Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'' which may have been ripped off from Joan Baez's performance of an Anne Bredon song. Howard played the original song and then the Led Zeppelin song which was very similar. Fred said that he read the lyrics and it does look like they stole the songs word for word.
Howard played both songs and listened to how similar they were. Of course the Zeppelin stuff was rockin' while the Joan Baez was pretty mellow. Howard took a call from a guy who said that this stuff had changed his opinion of the band now.
Howard went to the next song ''Dazed and Confused.'' Howard played a Jake Holmes song which was the one that appears to have been ripped off by Zeppelin. Howard played the Zeppelin cover of the song and it was like a direct rip off. Denny said he had a story about Jake Holmes to tell too. He said that Jake said that 17 years went by before he found out about this. He said that Jake was an unknown person and he had gone into the jingle business and wrote the ''Be All You Can Be'' jingle for the Army and some other things. Jake was also in a comedy trio with Joan Rivers for a while. He got out of the music business for a while and didn't know about the song being ripped off. He said that The Yardbirds are back together and perform the song but they do give Jake credit now.
Howard moved on to the next song which was a rip off of ''Blackwater Side'' which was changed to ''Black Mountain Side.'' Fred asked if it's possible that even the other performers didn't write those songs. Denny said it's possible but they should have had a disclaimer on the songs if that was the case.
Howard played a few more clips of examples of riffs that could have been ripped off. There were many examples that sounded like songs that could have been ripped off. One of them was the ''Stairway to Heaven'' opening that appeared to be ripped off from another band. It was a good cover of the song but they were just doing the originals better.
A caller said that this is awful for Jimmy Paige because he's such a great guitarist. He said that it's just wrong to make these guys look bad because there are other bands that covered old songs. Howard said that bands like The Beatles would credit the other guys that they covered.
Denny said that he was there today to pitch a show idea to Tim Sabean. He wants to cover this stuff on some shows. Vinnie Favale called in and suggested some other songs that they could use but they didn't have them all ready to listen to. Howard thanked Vinnie for calling but told him that he's sucking in too many bus fumes.
Howard told Denny he had to wrap things up. Denny asked Howard if he knew where he was 30 years ago today. Denny said that he knew that Howard was actually at a Zeppelin concert with Ted Utz and he tracked down his ticket stub. Howard said that's right. He remembered going to the concert and leaving early. Even 30 years ago he was leaving events early. Howard wrapped up a short time later and went to break.

[Biglue]

I don't know SoCal. There is 3 songs that are similar. In my eyes it does not discredit Led Zeppelin entirely. To be honest, Denny Somach is pointing out the obvious. I have seen other songs in other genres that awfully similar as well. Not only that, Howard is a funny guy on the air and from what I remember, was a big Zeppelin fan. But I don't think he was any music facts authority like say Uncle Joe Benson on KLOS. I don't see Howard taking this guy too serious. Frankly neither would I. Interesting reading tho. Thanks for sharing.

[socalmoney]

You need to listen to the examples before you decide. I agree that everyone gets their inspiration from other artists but when you listen, I think you will be surprised at how close they are. Too close I thought. How can I get an MP3 file to you.

[socalmoney]

If you want a copy of the audio, PM me and I will give you the link.

[pw_Tony]

Rap is diffenetly an option. I NEVER listen to it when I'm by myself, but when I have ladies on the boat that want to dance and shake their bum bums then
RAP IS GOING ON!:D

[I'mTheBeaver]

...I think I'm the oddball here but...lately I like to listen to:
Ferry Corsten L.E.F.
Paul Van Dyk Reflections
Phat Matt's Mix (but I have yet to find it on CD anywhere!) ;)
I share my music through TuneFeeds.com (http://hellodaly.faces.com/TuneFeeds/756272/)

[King on the River]

1. Notorious BIG (old stuff- his new stuff aint that good:) )
2. Tom Petty - any
3 . The Cars - best of
4. ub40 - best of

[XtrmWakeborder]

Tom Petty
SRV
Sublime
Dire Straits....in the order. I'm not old either lol

[Racey]

Slightly Stoopid's acoustic album, or Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms

[boats&bars]

Whatever mrsrvrluvr and hubby have on. Usually loud enough to hear anywhere in Havi.
Thats what I said!

[GunninGopher]

Nothing like a little Creedence!
CCR is the best chill music when out on the boat. And I'm a young guy!
(Sublime is second)
Definitely CCR.
I got my first boat at 20 in 1992, and Creedence has always been my floating choice. I made a mix tape just for that purpose back then.
About 6 years back, right after child #1, I cut a CD called "River Relaxin'" and it was mostly CCR and Lionel Richie, and that was the last of my thinking about river music.
I don't play much music these days. I'm either with the kids on the sand bar or in transit not listening to anything, listening to someone else's too loud stuff, or actually relaxing with the wife having a conversation alone for once.
But you definitely have to have some CCR in the mix.

[soulboater#1]

you do have to blast the Uncle Bob Marley but to be at ease I would go with some Ben Harper followed by some some Sam Cooke-- to get your rowdy on ---Suicidal Tendices and Ice T's COP KILLER

[socalmoney]

Ice T's COP KILLER
I prefer Evil Dick. Great track.

[boats&bars]

you do have to blast the Uncle Bob Marley but to be at ease I would go with some Ben Harper followed by some some Sam Cooke-- to get your rowdy on ---Suicidal Tendices and Ice T's COP KILLER
Cop Killer was cool when we were all punk ass teens, now that some of us have grown and have leos in the family or as friends :eek: that song is not so cool.

[Riverdog1]

Santana, Marley, Gregory Issacs, Bob Seger, Eagles, Stevie Nicks (with or without Fleetwood), Doobies...Old school as the sun sets...:)
