William Shatner made actually two whole records of that nihishit. Most hate it, some love it. It surely mocks with taste and style in a teasing nerve-wrecking way, which would make it - almost but not quite - worthwhile.

You should check out some of the other songs from the "The Transformed Man" album, like the title track or from the "Has Been" album his version of Pulp's: "Common people".

Yeah, that was really cool. Here's some more 60's type music you might like:


The Mamas & The Papas - California Dreamin'

Strawberry Alarm Clock: Incense and Peppermints

(not the best recording, but a good song - if you don't mind it being so "feminine" ;) )
THE GRASS ROOTS: Live for Today

this is more modern, but I like it (found it while looking for something else that i couldn't find):
children of the night

This is "Mad World" performed by Gary Jules, from the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

Yeah, good song, but not one I'd recommend to people suffering from depression...

Wow, that was some range on the vocalist for Focus.

Here's a pretty progressive piece for the 60's:
The Nice - America

I like this one, but anyone who's bipolar probably should not click this link:
New Monkey - Mc Stompins Choon

Wow, those guys are all nuts! Moving Waves is one of the greatest albums of all time...it's almost as good as Nursery Cryme by Genesis! :-)

uh. Was that supposed to have a video to it other than a couple words on the screen the whole time? And what on earth has it got to do with bipolar?

Rory - no video on that one - and the warning for bipolars was that the rhythm was just fast enough to be a little triggering to mania with a beat that resonates in the head, but add to that the cadence prolongedly repetitive enough in some spots to step into madness, enhanced by several periods of tonal qualities that wrench at the soul - all from a primal yet futuristic techno blend of sound. Eh, just my opinion I guess.

For me it shuts my brain down (and you know how odd that is), but it shuts it down to the points that I sometimes forget to breathe until I get dizzy, and triggers a state that has only been triggered in me under rather unusual circumstances in the past - yet I'm drawn to play it over and over, like there's something on the other side of this mind-state - a challenge of some vestiges of inducible madness that I must overcome or else I will be left with a vulnerability. My mind is stronger than whatever they can do. I know what reality is, and they can't rob me of it again. Even if my outer self is not always under my control, or if I'm forced into some kind of game - I have my mind. They can't wrench that from me.

For me it's like it's processing something I can't remember. I feel stronger than I did when I first heard it, but I recognize it may be too much for some people if it resonates in them the way it has for me.

Here's some classic rock:

Cheap Trick - Surrender

Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

arraghgh!

Lots of interesting chords - it was an elaborately written and nice sounding song.

But I find John's syrupy, sincere feminine side embarrasing.

There's another I'm trying to find of a great metal guitarist who used a hybrid picking technique. It was the best I've ever seen.
