Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 01:34 pm     Ok, I notice that sometimes we go into this in different threads, so here is one especially for it. |
Halfunit | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 02:08 pm     Bruce Springsteen because he is a wonderful story teller. Dave Matthews because frankly, his music and voice find their way to my soul and curl my toes. He is dreamy. I also like Celtic music. |
Cyn | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 04:20 pm     At present there are a few that I want to mention. Here they are: Belle & Sebastian - cause they have an innocence to their music while they expose a new common dimension to the consciousness of friendship through their lyrics and rhythms. Try out Tiger's Milk, if you never heard them. But actually anything you can get will be great. They don't have a bad album. They are from Scotland. The Strokes - the first time I saw them was at the Bowery years ago. Their angst and hopes and starkness to their music are tuned to a universal heartbeat and they are right, "Things they have changed is such a permanent way." The Moldy Peaches - although they are on hiatus since CMJ when the Johnston Family opened up for them. I love the Moldy's and their performance art and love them even more cause after 9/11 they stopped playing their best song. "Cause it's just not any fun anymore." If you're a Moldy fan you know which one I mean. :=( Kimya Dawson has a great cd out. I'm not so into Adam Green's new cd. It lacks the depth of Kimya's music. But I listen to it here and there. The White Stripes - they have paid their dues and remained true. I love their decadent innocence and honest hope. I have seen all of the above in concert. Some of them many times. |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 04:23 pm     Oy vey Cyn, I must be old, I have never heard of any of them. |
Cyn | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 04:26 pm     Well, then I will just have to make you some tapes or cds. I'm sure you would see the beauty in Belle & Sebastian, and I think you would like the White Stripes too. |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 04:44 pm     OK, cool, I would love to hear them. |
Fabnsab | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 11:23 pm     ABBA!!!! This is the only music that will put a smile on my face no matter what. When I have my zen moments, ABBA is going through my mind. I even have Mamma Mia as my cell phone ring |
Ginger1218 | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:15 am     Fabnsab, I saw ABBA this summer, although it was probably only one real member. They did a free concert in Coney Island. It was a nice night. Took a beach chair and a picnic and sat in the park by the bandshell in Coney Island. Very mellow music. |
Cyn | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 09:46 pm     I caught Guitar Wolf tonight and man they are rockin more than ever. I saw them in Atlanta years ago and they rocked then but today was amazing. X27 opened for them. It was ok, a rehashed P-Galore without any new moves. I could be a little too harsh on X27, but hey what do you want when you open for the legendary Guitar Wolf. ROCK 'N ROLL! Glad they could make the trip from Japan. |
Froggiegirl621 | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 06:26 am     Dave Matthews, John Mayer, and Edwin McCain...all great song writers, and they all make me swoon!!! |
Fluff | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 07:52 am     I love Christian rock music, particularly the Newsboys! *dancing* |
Ginger1218 | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 10:29 am     My favorite of all time is Crosby Stills Nash & Young (with or without Young, but preferably with him - he completes them) I adore Graham Nash. I would bear his children if I could. LOL Just to listen to his voice - makes me float. |
Luvmom | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 03:44 pm     Nothing can make me feel better then listening to a ballad by the Backstreet Boys.I'm sure I'm one of their oldest fans.......lol |
Sage | Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 07:46 pm     Audioslave... fairly new band comprised of Chris Cornell (Vocals) and Rage Against The Machine’s Tim Commerford (Bass). I just love the feel of the music and Chris Cornell can come and sing to me anytime. I also love Iced Earth... the hard metal music just does something to me... mmmhhhhmmmmmmmmm |
Cyn | Saturday, March 15, 2003 - 07:40 pm     Michael Franks is brilliant. If you like Nora Jones, you'll like him. Nora Jones has a lot of his sound. He has a few upcoming shows scheduled: New Orleans on April 26 (part of New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival), Austin on May 16 and Houston the night of May 17. Really check him out if you can - soothing and peaceful. Any of these shows will be sweet. He has such a warm and intimate way about his music. I'm listening to Dragonfly Summer right now, and I think that it is one of best albums ever made. “Michael Franks' 14 albums are jazz classics. His soft sound has captivated a generation.“ This is Michael Frank's home page. There are great pics of his pets and him with some jazz greats in there. |
Egbok | Saturday, March 15, 2003 - 09:24 pm     Hey Cyn, I've never heard of Michael Franks but after reading your post, I went to his site and checked him out. After I saw a photo of his pet dachshund titled "Flora answers fanmail", I knew I would have to learn more about this man and his music. Thanks for your insightful post! |
Twinkie | Saturday, March 15, 2003 - 10:28 pm     OMG!!!! Michael Franks did Popsicyle Toes!!! I loved that song!!!! I haven't even thought about him since that song was out. |
Egbok | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 11:16 pm     Cyn, I just had to come and tell you that I ordered 2 Michael Franks CD's today! The Best of Michael Franks and Dragonfly Summer! After listening to some of the sample song tracks, I was hooked! Thank you for telling me about him. I also ordered Aja by Steely Dan. |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 12:32 pm     Twinkie - Popsicle Toes is one of my favorite songs and I believe it is an old one too. Peel Me a Grape is another one of favorite songs. I can't name my favorite group, but then I can almost never name my "favorite" anything. However, I'll always listen to: Barenaked Ladies Diana Krall Al Green Bob Marley No Doubt Santanna I find that I really like to purchase movie soundtracks because I get to listen to various artists doing various types of music. One of my favorites for this is the soundtrack from "The Truth About Cats and Dogs." |
Denecee | Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 03:10 pm     Johnny Lang(jazz)- you would never know he's so young. John Couger-Melloncamp- some of his songs make me feel sexy. Elton John- ever since I was a young girl his music has set my emotions on fire. Love him. Eagles- good for the soul. Rod Stewart from the 70's- also makes me feel sexy. These are only a few of my favs. |
Phrf | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 12:59 pm     yall the greatest band of all time THE BEATLES |
