Bands you became temporary obsessed with - Page 2

Before I discovered Stevie, I was obsessed with Tina Turner, Bonnie Tyler and Cyndi Lauper.

I still listen to all three, but my interest in them is not as rabid as it once was.

How I miss them!? I never did buy their albums, but their singles were soooooooo good. Do you have their stuff?

I'm so into FM right now. It's an obsession incomparable to my other obsessions. Still, I'm kind of wary because I suspect it might still end up like the others. Five years from now, I might be thinking, Why was I that into them? I still love 'em, but I don't feel like posting on message boards about them constantly. I hope that doesn't happen, though. And if it was ever unlikely to happen, I'd say it was with FM.

Oh, and of course Madonna too.

Again, I'm still a huge fan, but not as rabid of a fan as I am for Stevie/FM.

It's always a possibility, but I'll tell you this... I had the same fear, too.
I thought that with as much as I listened to FM, there HAD to come a time when I'd get my fill of them (as I had other bands) and move on. Maybe pulling out one of my FM CDs on very rare occasions.

But it never happened.

I'm glad to hear that!

Just think, the more you listen to them, the more songs you will like.

Maybe one day Desert Angel will be music to my ears. I doubt it, but it's a possibilty.

I even bought the import for Sooner or Later which has the remake for More Than Words on it...along with a song called Emily (written for Mark's lil baby niece..awww), the actual song, Sooner or Later and September (I adore this song!). I bought On The Line (soundtrack to the movie...never saw it. LOL) just for the song Don't Look Down (no relation to Lindsey's song.

)..and I like N'Sync's song on it too. I bought the scrapbook and magazines with BBMak in them. Also, the DVD Music in High Places where they play acoustically in Vietnam. BUY IT NOW, the acoustic version of Ghost of You and Me is worth admission alone! Plus, they're hot, hilarious and British.

Obsessed? Who me? LOL

I have to send you my edit of "Desert Angel" one of these evenings. I took out the "Operation Desert Shield! Operation Desert Storm!" part that has always annoyed me, and it's SO much more enjoyable now.

When it comes to music, I only have a few obsessions. Fleetwood Mac (and solo), Blondie/Debbie Harry, Bette Midler, David Bowie, and Franz Ferdinand. Those are my favorites and have been ever since I was a kid (save Franz Ferdinand because they just came around the block). I never get sick of listening to any of them and hearing them makes me very happy.

I saw that on MTV. It was fabulous! Their stuff is definately on my "CDs to buy" list. Out Of My Heart is a fav of mine. I bought the CD single once, only to find out it was the DVD single. So, I have the music video for it. I was kinda bummed, but the video is really good.

Sounds awesome. I'm always up for alternate versions.

I have your Gypsy and WISYA mixes. What else have you made?

I, too, was majorly obsessed with the Spice Girls, around 96-98 I guess; I was 9 when their first album "Spice" came out and 10 when "Spiceworld" came out (1996 and 1997, right? Did I even get the names of the albums right? Its been a long time!!!)

Were talking CD's, posters, movie in theatre 3x, movie on home video 100x, singles.....ya, pretty obsessed.

I am happy to report that I only, *ahem* listen to good music now

*ducks from current fans of Spice Girls and their modern day counterparts*

Oh, and my favorite band in the whole world used to be the Cranberries, from about 1994 to 1999 (age 7!).I still listen to them sometimes, mainly the first three albums, which I spent like $60 on getting the box set with all the b-sides. I have 3 versions of Bury the Hatchet (regular version, "The Complete Sessions" 2-disc version, and "The Complete Sessions" 1-disc box set version) and I don't really even like that album

A few others: Celine Dion, Destiny's Child....probably others I'm forgetting- I've probably blocked them from memory

In short, my tastes in music have changed A LOT! Except for the Cranberries, I never listnen to any of that other "music" any more. To me, the general rule is if an artist doesn't write their own songs and/or lyrics, I don't listen to them (or atleast that's the way it turns out).
