What kind of music do you listen to?????

as long as it doesn't put people down or have filthy words every 5 seconds. It just depends what I am in the mood to listen to... I don't follow any particular group or even know the words to very many songs.. but I like to listen

*singing to Jay Ferguson for Debby* "So sha la la la la la my lady...!" Now THAT is a great song and it is awesome when cranked LOUD! ((in my rotation at work! )) :flash:

".....do do do do, do do do do, do do do, do do do do do....goodbye thunder island...." I LOVE it, Carrie!!! And you are right...better yet when cranked way up!!!!!

PS...I wish I could hear your radio show!!!

I think I will ALWAYS have a heart for Barry Manilow. Yeah, I know...most people diss him, but I grew up with him. You know how it is...you are like 5 and your mom listens to it all the time so you know no better! I saw him in concert this past February..what a GREAT show!!! WORTH THE CASH!

"Her name was Lola..she was a show girl...with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there...."

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is TOO weird!!!! Carrie...I LOVE Barry Manilow!!!! I have loved him for years!!!! I am still looking for a CD of the double album I had of his as a kid, but can't find one. I have found a few of his "favorites" cd's, but not the exact one...I don't think they made it into a cd. But I have even looked on e-bay for it. I love Copacabana, and Mandy, and Bandstand Boogie, New York City Rhythm, Looks Like We Made It, etc.

Count me in as a Barry Manilow fan! I just bought the C.D. of his best songs for my daughter for Christmas, "Could It be Magic," "Mandy,", all the good ones. I saw him in concert a few years ago. He puts on a wonderful show.
I also forgot to mention Broadway! I love the music from "West Side Story," most Rogers and Hammerstein and, of course, Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Christy, have you heard Beethoven's 3d., the Eroica? I think it's his masterpiece.

I will listen to pretty much anything. I don't like gangsta rap or any hate based music. My current fav CD is Josh Grobin's self titled 1st release. I find it really relaxes me. I also listen to celtic and nature CDs. I am a big fan of East Coast Canada groups like Great Big Sea and the Barra McNiels. Big fan of the Dixie Chicks!

I sing that all the time at work! It really irritates people for some reason. I got to love it when we had to learn it for grade 11 Concert Choir!

Forgot to mention one of my favs is a swing band called the Big Bad Voodoo Daddies.

Gaelic Storm (who are FABULOUS live).

okeefecl - You saw them LIVE? I am jealous. If you've never listened to them, check out Ceili Rain. Particularly their album "Say Kay-Lee".

I go through phases. I love 80's pop, disco, techno dance music, some older country, rock (especially 70's and 80's). I like some "praise" music -- like Robin Mark since he's got that great Irish sound. I also like Big Band Jazz (Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, etc.) And Frank Sinatra.

Yes, once at a bar in West Cleveland, and once at the local Irish-American Hall. They are so interactive with the crowd, and hang out afterwards drinking with the fans. Gotta love it

Thanks for the tip about Ceili Rain-I'll have to check them out.

Christy

Ady, try growing up in a household where your father is from Nova Scotia and all he will play is fiddle music! Ick! I'm still traumatized!

I like most music depending on my mood - but no country twang! Everything from classical to the 80's, Bon Jovi to Celtic. But every weekend I have to play my high energy techno/dance music! It's the "club kid" in me that wins out every Friday night!

I have very eclectic taste in music. I like almost anything except hip hop and rap. As many people know, Nine Inch Nails is my all time favorite, along with the Goth/Industrial band Rosetta Stone. I listen to modern country at work, and I do like it. I like heavy metal, some industrial, gothic (BTW, Marilyn Manson is NOT Goth! :vampireL: ), country, classic rock, movie scores (modern classical ), even some pop. Just all depends on my mood. Oh, I'm also definitely into 80s rock/metal. The songs of my youth. Hubby actually produces a syndicated radio show (syndicated in Canada) and DJs an 80s rock night. You can see his show's website (he's also the webmaster) at www.themonstersofrock.com.

This week I have mainly been listening to April Lavinge (sp) - her of Complicated and Sk8tr Boi fame.

I enjoy UK Garage - Ms Dynamite, NERD, So Solid, Romeo. I also like US R & B - Nelly, Ja Rule, Missy Elliot.

But who do I listen to most on my personal stereo? Bjork, Underworld, Leftfield.

Favourite song of all time? How soon is now by The Smiths.

Favourite live band? Faithless, with Underworld running a close second.

Opera? The only one I like is The Ring Cycle, as sung by Bugs Bunny (in 7 minutes rather than the 15 hours it should take).


MP3s - thank-you the internet. I feel that paying $20 (the price for a cd in the UK) is too much. Why is it $5 more in the UK? The largest cd production plant in Europe is 20 miles from my house, so it can't be extra transport costs.

My 2 favorite male singers are Howard Jones and Seal. I'm very close to owning every CD that HJ has put out so far, except imports. My favorite female singer is Sade. I also like Diana Krall (jazz). Norah Jones is a new singer that I just heard that I am going to have to get her CD.

I can tolerate Country as my stepfamily listens to it. The only classical I enjoy is the soundtrack to "Titanic".

Jazz, Modern Jazz, Big Band, Frank Sinatra, 80's, Trance, Ambient, Techno, some Rap(Beastie Boys, Eminem...), Alternative Metal(Linkin Park, Rage, Rob Zombie, Saliva, Disturbed...)

Recently, I've really been getting into Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack.

Keith

I love classical, with my favorite composer being Dvorak.

I also like New Age and Rock n Roll.

Any Enya fans here?

I love folksy stuff like Simon and Garfunkel. I also listen to Marilyn Manson, some death metal, and a lot of "alternative" stuff. Crash Test Dummies, Semisonic, Smashing Pumpkins, Counting Crows. These are a few of my favorie bands.
I enjoy subtle, creative, and thoughtful lyrics, good musicianship, and sometimes a little out-and-out rage.
I like Eminem and ICP -some rap works for me. I love Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, but my taste for country music pretty much stops there.
My tastes may seem varied, but I'm extremely picky about lyrical content. I'll stop here, or I'll end up raving on and on about what makes song lyrics good in my opinion!
-Ryan

P.S. I love Enya!

Ryan - I love the Crash Test Dummies. the lead singer has such a distinctive voice!

I also love Enya - I have about 4 CD's of hers including a Christmas one!

I also like They Might Be Giants. Any TMBG fans out there?

Oh yes, touch the puppet head!

I first was introduced to TMBG in high school (late 80's). I always liked them but never had a chance to see them in concert. When I was in grad school (mid 90's), they had a concert at my university. It was really funny to be there with all of the undergrads-they only knew the recent stuff, while my friends and I loved the old stuff. That was one of the first times it really hit me that I was getting old
