[LiamMcConville]

Great lists everyone. I can't believe I completely blew off The Police in mine though. Just a shame.

I'm really surprised that so many of you have new bands and artists in your lists, seeing as I listen to primarily old school stuff, I find 98% of new music to be genuinely awful.

For all of you that love The Killers...I have to admit I really like their song "Read My Mind."

[carrie721]

that probably means you're just listening to a lot of new crap ;)

[Sarah]

Awesome choices.

Today I was at lunch with a colleague next to the Roxy and was approached by some dude that wanted us to go to the Roxy as they were filming a Evanescence music video today. Guess they need extras...lol. We could care less...but too bad you're not here in LA!

Loreena McKennitt

She's awesome. Saw her live at the Masonic Auditorium in SF and was simply amazed. How's her new album?

[GypsySorcerer]

An Ancient Muse? It's good, though a little safer than some of her previous efforts. It will be hard for her to top The Book of Secrets in my opinion.

The Book of Secrets is the tour I saw in SF. So gorgeous and sensual. Great album, but I also really enjoy The Mask and Mirror.

What do you mean by "safe?" Is it still a must have?

[GypsySorcerer]

Some of the passages sound like retreads from previous albums. However, if you like The Mask and the Mirror, I think you'd like this one. :nod:

Hmm...that's strange. I wonder what they were filming? I know that they're playing a show in Florida right about now. Perhaps putting some finishing touches on the video made in June? Now I'm all curious. :p

[WildInTheWind]

What can I say? Their comments about not dressing like strippers were all too similar. :nod:

Unless this guy was being a lying freak (which seems doubtful), she had to cut out early from LA to be in FL on time. Not uncommon, but cutting it close.

Yes, I saw them. The Good Enough video is still not finished. I wish they'd hurry it up.

The high school choir Reflections video was too cute. :p I wish that guy would have posted the whole thing.

[skcin]

Sharon's such a whore for the Durst. :rolleyes:


I kind of hate these lists, I tend to overthink them - like, how can I be such a big fan if all I have are a couple of greatest hits by some of these artists; others, I have their entire collection? Where do I draw the line? I can't handle the stress, so screw it. I consider the following among my favorite artists:

Patty Griffin
Heart
Petty
Neil Diamond
Johnny Cash
Cyndi Lauper
The Killers
The Eagles
Don Henley

Kelly Clarkson
Martina McBride
Patsy Cline
Elvis (later, fatter Elvis please & thanks)

Actually, I like a whole bunch of different types of music.

yeah, very true, but it seems that everyone had to get started getting popular way before 1980 to fit your faves. No faves from the last 25 years, Chili?

Good choices Kathy. :thumbsup: Never heard of Chely Wright, gotta look her up now.

Edit: Never heard of her because she's country. :laugh:

[kathy1]

she is a country artist . i didn't hear of her from listening to country stations. i saw one of her videos on tv. you can check her website out.

i am not a fan of country music either but i like her. that's alright if you don't.

yeah, very true, but it seems that everyone had to get started getting popular way before 1980 to fit your faves. No faves from the last 25 years, Chili?

Check the list...Dwight Yoakam, Big & Rich, Vince Gill, etc. Basically, I started appreciating country music within the last 25 years (actually, 15).

But, basically, from a rock/pop standpoint, not really. (everything that has come from the last 25 years in the rock/pop category, to me, is just rehash, and not what I'd call "creatively", of what came before it.) However, if you consider that Derek Trucks of the Allman Bros Band is only 27 years old, his own band, the Derek Trucks Band is one of my faves...they'd meet your criteria.

So, yeah, the '60s & '70s was the peak of music for my generation (people born between 1955-1965), so it would just be natural (as opposed to Bb or B#) that music from that era would be what I'd prefer to gravitate toward.

i am not really a big fan of alanis.

That makes two of us. One of the worlds greatest atrocity's to music. She's just terrible.

you sure are an extremist. or so it seems in some of your posts. I'm not a HUGE Alanis fan, but she's written some great songs and is very creative, innovative and original. that alone keeps her out of the atrocity category, imo.

I really am. Certain things not so much, music yes. I can agree that she's written some decent songs, but for the most part she can't sing. I've notcied that the great majority of her recordings are her talking/ranting quickly with music in the backround. The one song I will admit to liking at one point in my life was "Precious Illusions."

That's really sad, I think. If there is one thing on this planet that has plenty of room for grey areas - and I mean EVERY shade of grey - then, it's music. :distress:

I like some of Alanis's stuff, and some of it I don't. Her style is her own, and I don't have a problem with her using "speak-sing" from time to time.

I can agree with you on that, but one can think Alanis is awful and one can think she's amazing, to each their own. :shrug:

I haven't heard her do anything but speak-sing. But its quite possible that since I've decided I really don't like her, I haven't found something of hers that proves me wrong.

[BlackWidow]

Alanis is my girl.

[Livia]

I love Alanis. Jagged Little Pill is a "must have" album, imo.

[Sarah]

I can agree with you on that, but one can think Alanis is awful and one can think she's amazing, to each their own. :shrug:

I agree. I was just replying to the part of your comment about being a music extremist. Obviously.. you don't have to like her, and I'm not going to try to get you to.

I'm with Livia on Jagged Little Pill. No cd collection is complete without it. When it came out, I wore out 3 copies. True story. :laugh:

Some might say the same about our Miss Nicks, especially more recent efforts. :D We've discussed her "talk-singing/sing-talking" many times here.

As for Alanis - meh. She's OK. I was all over Jagged Little Pill when it came out. Listened to it again recently, and I was pretty bored tbqh. I think that has more to do with the fact that so many of the tunes were way overplayed rather than the music being bad though.

[trackaghost]

neither am i kathy.

Funny, I was just thinking about her today. Some newish song of hers was playing (or one I've never heard) while I was waiting for my bagel and I thought "wow, she's a perfect example of an artist I used to love and now makes me want to pull my eyeballs out." I was even thinking of starting a thread here, like "who did you used to love but now hate."

[trackaghost]

:laugh:...Their lead singer is Luke Wilson right?

luke wilson is dreamy!

I just wanted to note that I mentioned Alanis as a songwriter . . . not necessarily as a singer. Her lyrics are incredibly personal, intuitive and honest. I agree that her singing style is not always to my liking. If you are turned off by the singing, it is a shame because she has some song lyrics that are really, really good. Her songs actually help me understand myself a bit better!

for the last 2 days now, at random points in my music listening, i've thought, "FK. I forgot to add randombandorartist to my favorite list!" I thought about coming back and editing, but no one would catch it anyway.

Eddie Rabbitt



i'm not gonna lie. i have some love for the rabbitt. there are only a very small, select few country artists that i like, and he's one of them. he put down some great vocals.. "rocky mountain music" and "suspicions" are my favorites, i think.

[skcin]

i know this is OT, but Skcin.....I'm obsessed with your signature...i think about it very day when people are annoying me....I just wanted to share...:p

Good! Glad you like it. I was thinking about making it into a poster & hanging it on the wall in my office, but somehow I don't think anyone else would get it. :D
