Favorite other bands

[DavidMn]

Ok, I know this thread has probably appeared here like a million times, so here's # 1,000,001. I have 2 other bands that I've been passionate about for 15 and 8 years respectively, the Sundays, and the Stereophonics. I'm surious as to what others think?

[Serendipity]

I'm a secret 80's rock chick. Thunder, Warrant, Poison, Heart, AC/DC, Whitesnake, GnR......that kinda thing.

I also hang out in a lot of biker bars.....Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bad Company, Lynard Syknard

Most of my friends find my Mac/Stevie obsession strange in comparison to the rest of my musical tastes.

Oy, I can't believe I forgot them. My favorite thing to do at night is open the windows of my apartment and sit on the windowsill listening to them for a while. Very relaxing.

I'm never tired of them, and live they were just incredible. I'm trying to find their concerts still available and every possible appearance. Till now, my favourites are the Woodstock medley :p and their performances at Ed Sullivan Show.

I recently saw one of their videos on VH-1 Classic and LOVED the song. It was called "Here's Where the Story Ends". I downloaded it the next day. Her voice is very pretty and I like the mellow-ness of the band. I might download some more later on. :)

The Sundays is a great band- I have all three of their albums and they are all very good. Harriet Wheeler has an angelic voice. 1989 was the year "Hear's Where..." (from their first album) was released. That year was my big music year. The Sundays, Indigo Girls, Edie Brickell & the New Boho's, REM with their album Green, Suzanne Vega at her prime- Stevie's The Other Side of the Mirror and on and on and on. 1988 through 1992 were some really great years for good music.

All the other artists that make up my music collection fall into the "like" (or "Really like") category rather than "favorite."

[DavidMn]

Speaking of half dead, what about ron wood?

I thought you liked the Bee Gees? :shrug:

[dissention]

I thought you liked the Bee Gees? :shrug:

:shocked:

Surely you jest. They don't sound like their balls are being tweaked, they sound like their balls are in a vice grip.

[WildInTheWind]

REALLY passionate about? Heart and Led Zeppelin. Of course there are others that I love, but Stevie/Mac, Heart and Zeppelin are the favorites.

[ryan8472]

:shocked:

Surely you jest. They don't sound like their balls are being tweaked, they sound like their balls are in a vice grip.
Well everyone knows that. But I thought you'd mentioned to me once that you liked them or something. :shrug:

[amber]

Oy. I loathe male singers who sound like their balls are being tweaked.
I hate all grunge-like male singers. thusly, I do like the beegees....

[dissention]

Well everyone knows that. But I thought you'd mentioned to me once that you liked them or something. :shrug:

Nope, not moi. If I said so, I was lying through my teeth. :laugh: I think Brian J. likes them a lot.

[strandinthewind]

I thought you liked the Bee Gees? :shrug:

I LOVE them - I think they are wonderful and their songs make me happy. Sadly, in their last live thing Down Under - Barry's voice sounded silly and strained. But, they were still wonderful nonetheless.

[SapphireSister]

I have their greatest hits. I enjoy it to no end. More Than a Woman is one of the best songs of all time.
