I know you all love your gardens, but what music do you like? My favourites are Queen, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, John Lennon & Lisa Gerrard. :)
hmmm....I come from a music background so my tastes are eclectic. I am not really into the hardcore dance stuff or rap really, but other than that, love the rest! Eric Claptons Wonderful Tonight is one of my fave songs - saw him live and it seemed like he was singing it just to me! Bands I like.... System of a Down, Good Charlotte, Dido, REM, Squeeze, Thin Lizzie, Tenacious D, Mamas & the Papas, Duran Duran, Foo Fighters, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Prince, Van the man Morrison.....shall I go on...better not, you get the idea. ;D
At the mo have Hawkwind on, but next will probably be classical, Beethoven, Mozart and quite likely followed by Frank Zappa or Jimi Hendrix
Just love all music
Mine's a bit eclectic too! Queen, Dire Straits and Eric Clapton are there. Yes, Genesis, Meat Loaf, Hollies (oops), Fleetwood Mac, Jefferson Airplane, Gerry Rafferty, Pink Floyd, Stones, Leo Kotke, Electric Light Orchestra and Rod Stewart. However, Beethoven, Shubert, Delius, Motzart, Stravinsky, Bach, Dvochak (sp), magnificent Sibelius (not to be confused with genius of Beethoven), Tchaichovsky and Elgar!
Sounds like a recipe for winter stew!

Hi Sue, I say SuzyQuatro when I see your name!!! but I am strange. I have to like some of the groups you mentioned cos hubby plays the CDs all the time. We are going to see Meat Loaf on the 30th Jan. His oncert was cancelled because of his heart problem but has been rescheduled. Looking forward to it. I like queen and I just wish I had seen Freddy Mercury live.
I really like all kinds of music but you can't really buy me a CD because I just like some of the stuff. I know what I mean. This Christmas I got Bruyn CD, the Welsh tenor. I like some of his singing but not it all.
I have just left the chat room and the birds have flown.
I know exactly what you mean Carol, I just love Freddie Mercury - music with attitude and humour ;D
MuddyBoots, I just love Gerry Rafferty on the Local Hero album. :D

Simon and Garfunkle, Abba, Queen, The origional Seekers, The Animals, The Beatles, All my daughters cd's 8) (too numerous to mention but folks like Dido, Cheryl Crow etc. etc.) Some classical and opera , country and western, I like some of Dolly Partins stuff and well just about anything except rap! ::)
It's not until you think about the stuff you listen to you realise that the list goes on and on..... I love Motown, artists like Marvin Gaye, and then there is Jazz, just love Ella Fitzgerald and Fats Domino, oh and the Stranglers - learnt to drive whilst listening to one of their live albums, has to be either Golden Brown or Down in the Sewer. Like Ska, some punk, rock, jazz, country, ooooo see....you can so easily get carried away! Trying to think of the best bad I have seen - U2 were the worst, got all political and hardly sung! Depeche Mode put on an excellent show! Fine Young Cannibals were the first band I ever saw, and INXS I saw the most. ;D
Oh Oz is right how could I forget Reggee
Bob Marley have to have him for long drives to calm me down then ? drivers dont bother me.
Like a lot of you, huge range of musical tastes.
More and more into classics and listening to classic fm, specially smooth classics.
Also finding myself re buying older stuff on CD that I was into at the time i.e.
Deep Purple
Jethro Tull
Led Zep
Pink Floyd (Wish you were here just has to be the best ever track?)
Stranglers
Blue Oyster Cult etc
Motorhead
Thin Lizzie
Also like
Stereophonics
Gorrilaz (when they were about)
SUM 41
HIM (due to see them in London in Feb)
Best ever concert was I suppose 3 days at Reading Rock in the 70's, maaaaaan don't you wish you could turn the clock back sometimes??
I also agree with Mysticmog....John Peel is a supreme being!!
Yo Flowerbaby

Hi all, so pleased to see the postings of our various tastes in music, it`s so interesting! I left off several favourites, the more you think about it the more you remember. Does anyone recall Clifford T Ward? Sadly he died a few years ago but I liked his music very much. DandyLion do you know the Glos Leisure Centre has been tarted up in the last year or so? It`s now called GL1.......how pretentious is that? ;D Glad you`re enjoying the thread Oz ;)
Hot Potato,
Glad you mentioned Kenny G! Saxaphone makes me melt!
Sue T,
Have they tidied up the rest of Glos too? Talking about thirty years ago, so no slur intended. Lived there for a few months before moving back to Chelters! Have to say didn't enjoy it much then! But, what the heck, was working at Rank Xerox, so what's to enjoy?!!! ;D
Kate

I like Queen, all the old 80s stuff and since seeing them live I have quite a passion for Deep Purple.
Oh and how could I forget about David Byrne and Talking Heads. And David Bowie. ::)
Ozzy,my friend how are you?
You certainly sound much happier.I am inspired to reply because you mentioned a group that noone else ever seems to have heard of.
Alan Parsons Project.nor had I till hubby played me his colloction when we met and I have been a fan since.Some of the most beautiful and meaningful music I have ever heard.What is you favourite?Mine are Prime Time and Don't answer me,but there are so many more.
deep purple.. just love Child in TIme .. besr bowie tracks for me

Oz, I have about 4 BOC albums, which we play regularly!! That n Pink Floyd...........Oh and Genesis...........................
I'm with you there Doris P, 1st gig I ever went to was Pink Floyd, Delicate Sound of Thunder Tour at Maine Road (bit late on for them but hey, I was only ickle when they started out) - it was AMAZING - flying beds n pigs and people going mental - bludy brilliant - sadly all other gigs from then on kinda pale in comparison...still listen to The Wall when feeling moody n whistful... - the really sad thing is , someone has just done a cover of Comfortably Numb, in a Bee Gees Stylee!!!! It's AWFUL....and kids listening to it today wont even know how much it's massacring the original - oh, look at me, getting old, "it wasn't like that in my day"...
It really is truly bad though... :'( Mr Waters would be turnin in his grave...if you're really quiet you can hear him.... ;)
Just whe you thought this thread was dead....

Thanks for that Oz, will look out for it ;D
I primarily listen to Fish, that is the ex-lead singer of Marillion to the uninitiated. :)
As he has a new album out "Scattering Crows" that is hogging the CD turntable at home and at work. In fact I am humming along to it at work now. Can't wait to see him in Camden in February.
Other than that I like Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and a band called WASP, who will probably not be to anyones taste on here.
Modern music is bland and lifeless. Music is nothing without lyrics and soul.
Agree with you Oz,
AsGood As it Gets ..........brill film.
Bought myself new CD yesterdays,The very best of Neil Young (1966- 1976); a bit before my time but went through a stage in my late teens/early 20's when he was mega cool ........... ah memories...
Never really got Pink Floyd. :-/ Now Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone, true godesses. Dean Martin and Sinatra, music that makes me smile ;D
Agree with you about Pink Floyd EJ, very strange to me! ??? Anarchic I think.
Must be a terrible throw back! Love all the underground from 60s & 70s, Yes particularly!
Kate
you cant beat the golden oldies .Although i,m quite partial to a bit of linken park staind evenescence dido....oh and Aled Jones.lol . Angie
