Show me your Non threating music taste.

[Frenzy]

So i need some help with some SAFE music. That's right i said safe. Me I kinda like the hard stuff or some hiphop. However we recently got a speaker thing at work and I really can't play my stuff over the speaker. So i need safe non threating music...as lame as that sounds. But nothing that's just horrible like Brittney spears or Jonas brothers. Nothing to bubble gum pop...or nothing to extreme like songs about killing babies. Oh and of course nothing with foul language. Basically anything a kid or old gramps can listen to. Below is a list already started...please add to it.


Nothing to old(EARLIER THAN THE 60'S) unless it's classic :violin Oh and no country.


Aerosmith - mutliple songs
alicia keys - mutliple songs
billy joel - piano man
blue oyster cult don't fear the reaper
collective soul -run
the cure - pictures of you
Def Leppard - love bites (this is kinda ify but i let it slide)
the eagles (almost all of them haha)
elton john- mutliple songs
eric clapton -mutliple songs
The Flaming Lips- the wand
fountains of wayne - Mexican Wine
godmack- Serenity
green day - wake me up when sept ends
GNR - November Rain
hoobastank - mutliple songs
hinder- mutliple songs
nickelback- mutliple songs
Led Zeppelin -dyer maker
lynyrd skynyrd- free bird....(although some might have a problem with the guitar at the end)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Wall Flowers - one headlight

I did not name all the songs on the list just a few to give you an idea of what I'm looking for,cause there is far to many to name all of them. I'm sure this board has a huge and diverse taste in music..so name a few.

NO LINKS..to your myspace or playlist. Just name the group and song. Thanks

Anything by Jack Johnson.

[peewee's lovechild]

Try Nick Drake too.

[BlackSwordsMan]

im listening to pearl jam's ten =]

[koriwhat]

Anything by Jack Johnson.

if you like hearing a jock act like he's a hip white rasta. ha.

dude reminds me of all the other cheese bands who have jumped on the reggae style bandwagon. can't stand the dude! johnson's like dane cook, both suck at what they are trying to do.

want some safe-real-reggae? hit up some steel pulse, gladiators, toots, max romeo, lee scratch, marley, niyorah, midnight, and many many more.

[peewee's lovechild]

Hey, he's safe.

[peewee's lovechild]

Throw in some Simon & Garfunkel, Jim Croce, and some Beach Boys.

[peewee's lovechild]

Don't forget Dylan and The Band.

[peewee's lovechild]

If you want it just a bit louder, go for CCR.

And, by that I don't mean that Cross Canadian Ragweed shit.

I'm talking about Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I've never heard a single song by Jack Johnson that sounded like it was going for reggae.

[peewee's lovechild]

If you really want to be real "safe" and keep everybody happy, go for Richard Marx.

Although, I wouldn't recommend it.

Some of the older ladies might appreciate it, though.

[peewee's lovechild]

I've never heard a single song by Jack Johnson that sounded like it was going for reggae.

He's got some good sounds.

But, I can see why some people wouldn't like him.

I dig his music though.

[koriwhat]

I'm talking about Creedence Clearwater Revival.

ah now that's a band!

wife was obsessed with "sitting waiting wishing" for a brief moment. :depressed


i'll look into other songs

[koriwhat]

I've never heard a single song by Jack Johnson that sounded like it was going for reggae.

ha you gotta be kidding me... upstrokes and downstrokes. have you ever listened to reggae?

ok this is all besides the point. i just can't stand jack johnson myself but i can accept the fact other like him and that he ain't the worst at what he does. i am just huge into reggae and don't like the imitators who try to water it down.

[peewee's lovechild]

I'd also put The Shins in there.

I love their music.

[CuckingFunt]

If you really want to be real "safe" and keep everybody happy, go for Richard Marx.

Don't diss the Marx. "Don't Mean Nothing" is one of the greatest songs of the 80s.

But, I can see why some people wouldn't like him.

I've never followed Johnson that closely, so I don't have strong feelings one way or the other, I just wouldn't have pegged him as a wannabe reggae artist. He's definitely got that laid back surfer sound, like the kind of guy who listens to reggae, but I wouldn't say his music has that structure.

[CuckingFunt]

ha you gotta be kidding me... upstrokes and downstrokes. have you ever listened to reggae?

Reggae is the only music that utilizes upstrokes and downstrokes?

[peewee's lovechild]

Don't diss the Marx. "Don't Mean Nothing" is one of the greatest songs of the 80s.


"Should've Known Better" defines 1986 for me.

At least, I think it was 1986.

They played that shit at least 4 times an hour on the radio.

[peewee's lovechild]

UB40 were imitators.

Shit on them.

[Frenzy]

only pearl jam i have so far is "last kiss"

[David Bowie]

Rush
Bon Jovi
Pink Floyd
Beatles

i looked for it on youtube and it's 80's alright. Funny how the two gifs in my sig go right with the beat :lol

[peewee's lovechild]

Rush
Bon Jovi
Pink Floyd
Beatles

That's a good list.

How did I forget to suggest The Beatles?

[peewee's lovechild]

Uh oh. Here it comes.

:lol:lol

i take that back i just found " have you ever seen the rain" :downspin:

[Frenzy]

What's wrong with you?

alot

[baseline bum]

Shit, I was going to suggest GWAR.

If I was going to play work-friendly music, it would be hard to go wrong with classical. Dvorak, Beethoven, Mozart, etc; truly incredible music that'll offend no one but kids with bad taste. 80s pop can be ok, like 99 Luftballons or Robert Palmer. Kraftwerk has some great shit if you like Electro that's not too out there. DJ Shadow's Entroducing... is also a great stuff. Squarepusher has some great shit too.

One of the best songs ever.

They have a lot of great ones.

Sia- Soon we'll be found

[mardigan]

These are all albums.
Jeff Buckley-Grace
Andrew Bird-Armchair Apocrypha

Sigur Ros

doc1eqstMQQ

PDxMQaMqsig

IPMf8G8Pi5o

[Dr. Gonzo]

The Hellacopters - By the Grace of God and Disappointment Blues are good albums.

[braeden0613]

what about some OAR?
bright eyes or wilco as well

[Don Quixote]

Safe and non-threatening?

How about "Sometimes when we touch"?

Or Christopher Cross "Sailing"? (That song won a Grammy)

Or the Carpenters' "We Have Only Just Begun"

[Don Quixote]

Who sang "Endless Love"?

That's safe/non-threatening

[CuckingFunt]

I didn't know until reading this thread that non-threatening was synonymous with crap.

[baseline bum]

Try this one out:

HVzTrO5RnWA

[cherylsteele]

I am sure you probably have some country fans there, how about:

Alabama
Brooks & Dunn
Johnny Cash
The Charlie Daniels Band (my fav)
George Jones
Dolly Parton

and no country.

:nope

[mrsmaalox]

You mentioned the Wallflowers One Headlight, but I think most of that album is safe; I love it. You could throw in All for You by Sisiter Hazel. And the first Dido cd is a bit of a downer but it's good and safe.

[mrsmaalox]

And if you're gonna put in Def Leppard, you may as well add Hysteria.

[mrsmaalox]

And Steely Dan. Lots of Steely Dan :)

[CuckingFunt]

Here's a good one:

8utL-XzOp6g

[Don Quixote]

And Steely Dan. Lots of Steely Dan :)

Steely Dan was great. But, we're looking for harmless and non-threatening.

So, how about Andy Gibb, "I Just Want to be Your Everything" (a #1 hit, Aug 1977)? Or the BeeGees in general?

Peter Cetera, the man who ruined Chicago, is also harmless. Definitely Peter Cetera.

The Osmonds?

[Don Quixote]

And Kenny G. Definitely Kenny G. And don't forget Michael Bolton.

[peewee's lovechild]

If it wasn't for Peter Cetera, there wouldn't be Chicago.

All you would have is a wanna be jazz band trying to look cool.

[mrsmaalox]

If it wasn't for Peter Cetera, there wouldn't be Chicago.

Which is what happened when Peter Cetera left.

Just listen to Chicago pre-Cetera, and after he joined. Night and day. He completely wussified them.

[leemajors]

Shit, I was going to suggest GWAR.

If I was going to play work-friendly music, it would be hard to go wrong with classical. Dvorak, Beethoven, Mozart, etc; truly incredible music that'll offend no one but kids with bad taste.

I'd add Satie to that.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Just listen to Chicago pre-Cetera, and after he joined. Night and day. He completely wussified them.

i agree. he pulled a phil collins on them indeed. plus cetera was always with them. it wasn't until kath blew his brains out that cetera was put in front. then it took two albums for him to "catch on". plus getting david foster to produce XVI help just a tad. i also find it funny when people call music "jazz" simply 'cause they really don't get it or it has horns that play notes that sound foreign to them.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

You could throw in All for You by Sisiter Hazel.
"Pyck played on that track and album. he went to school with the drummer.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Jellyfish - Spilt Milk

great album if you like queen and the beach boys.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Donald Fagen - Nightfly

come on now. Last Kiss? Pearl Jam has just as many slow songs as they do hard. Try: Parachutes, Comeback, Indifference, Immortality, Wishlist, In Hiding, Faithful, Off He Goes, Around the Bend, In My Tree

there are a ton of them. I'd kill myself if I had to listen to Last Kiss all day at work.

[ATRAIN]

Go to Pandora.com and create yourself a non-threatening channel, like Coldplay or Keane.

[BruceBowenFan]

:nope

did you even read the requirements :lol

it's only threatening if you make it to be.

[Frenzy]

..and i'm sure they will.
