Toby Keith,John Michael Montgormery,Rea McBride, Rascal Flatts + Many more American country & western. Elton John, Foreigner + lots more. And also my own Irish & Scottish Traditional Music,this list is endless.

Wow capt..we could listen to music together. I'm mostly a country and oldies fan, but like a wide variety of music. Anyone ever hear of a song by Khia called "My Neck, My Back"? It's one of my favorites LOL. I also like Creed, the Eagles, but I'd have to say my favorites are Toby Keith, Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Rascal Flatts, and Gretchen Wilson.

I do like the New Age music,as you say its more soothing. I like the Irish music.

i was born here, raised here, have only left our shores once, i'm forty-four years old, and i've never been to a country and western music bar. and i don't ever want to.

Why's that Anastrophe? :guitarist

i've just never liked mainstream country & western, or the culture surrounding it. i like 'classical' country music - bluegrass etc - but the 'honky tonk', focus on 'good ol' boys' etc of contemporary c&w culture just turns me off.

naturally, my wife is a big fan of it. :rolleyes:

My wife prefers the 1950s/60/70s Neil Sedaka,The Everly Brothers + many many more.

Yesterday I got myself a CD Bridge Over Troubled Water,

By Simon & Garfunkel.

Now this takes me back to the good old days.

I love the old Linda Ronstadt songs. They are hard to find any more. Really don't care for her newer songs though.

Anyone ever hear "My Neck, My Back" by Khia? I love that song. I think it's because of the shock factor when people hear it. :sneaky:

On the subject of older music - Am curious to know if there are any Nilsson

(Harry Nilsson) fans out there .

Hopalong

AM interested to know if there are 70's music fans out there who are familar with NILSSON

(Harry Nilsson) that is .

Then I can go in for Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky + Vaughan Williams & Elgar. And some of Arron Copland + more. :-6

i love that song, great to dance to

:wah: Well if you cain't take a long drive down winding country roads in your rusty Ford pickup with two hound dogs, a rifle, and a 6-pack of longnecks listening to someone else croon about cheatin', then you just ain't livin'!



Oh, and a Confederate flag. I almost forgot that part. LOL



I can make fun because I grew up in that kind of atmosphere. It's like family - you can make fun of your own but nobody else better say anything bad. (grin)



I love country and it's fun to dance to. I don't subscribe to the lifestyle which is why I moved away, but I still enjoy the sounds of home. Even spoons and a washboard get my feet tapping. I should probably be embarrassed to say that, but (shrug) I'm too old to care! :p



I love all kinds of music except rap (too hate-filled and angry for me), and jazz that sounds like everyone is playing a different song at a different tempo. Drives me bonkers.



Vivaldi makes me cry.

The Moody Blues, Kansas, etc make me think while I head-bop.

James Taylor makes me feel all sappy, and I usually call my mom. LOL

Oldies make me laugh and dance.

The goddess Aretha Franklin always makes me feel good.

Blues makes me relax all the way to my bones.

Alternative captures something bittersweet inside that I can't quite pinpoint.

Hip-hop gets my housework done faster.

On and on...I even sing songs from musicals in the shower.



Favorite songs ever ~ anyone want to play?

Louis Armstrong: It's A Wonderful World

John Lennon: Imagine

Sam Cook: Thrill Me

Otis Redding: Try A Little Tenderness

Oh, good one, Ranger!

I do not, necessarily consider it to be "lady-like". I won't lie to anyone

here, and say that "none" of the music I listen to uses it. I, however

have a system, and I always have. I, either purchase edited versions

of records, or I memorize where it is used in a particular song. and I

turn the volume down on my stero. (This statement isn't meant for

laughter.) I, completely am being serious. I just appreciate others

whom respect my strong opinion on the subject. (I consider

myself to be a Christian before aything else.) Anyway, I, actually

come from quite a wide varitey of musical influences.

(One will. usually find me listening to):

Switchfoot

Hanson

The Beatles

The Vines

The White Stripes

Rooney

The Clash

James Taylor

The Goo Goo Dolls

Sum41

Fuel

Jonny Was

Blondie

Michelle Branch

Saves the Day

Everclear

The DropKick Murphys

The Everly Brothers

Joni Mitchel

The Kinks
Ya like music I see. And welcome to FG. :-6

Whatever Happened to Doris Day? Now she can get me singin..... :guitarist

Please don't eat the daisy's... :sneaky:

Where is all the good music fans?:guitarist

Does anybody remember the Gin Blossoms? I played with them in the early 80's before they got famous. (Too bad I went with my day job, eh?) We all lived on 13th street in Tempe, AZ. We played at a place called Long Wong's every Tuesday.

We made 100 dollars a night, drank 90 dollars worth of alcohol and split 10 dollars five ways at the end of it. Just enough for a burrito on the way home!
