Not Pink Floyd
Comments (30)It was Freddie Mercury......but I know what you mean. Those outfits in the 80's were not flattering to anyone. Those great big shoulder pads for women and those puffy pants on men. Yuk. Saturday in the Park was "Chicago". What a great band. They had so many hits! Yeah Harry.... Green Grass and High Tides forever. But my fav. Outlaws song is "Prisoner". The band I play with and do sound for performs that song and they do it just like the Outlaws did. Wonderful to be right in the middle of all that music. We are playing tomorrow night for a wedding reception. Should be a fun party. I just downloaded Michael McDonald's album "No Lookin' Back" from iTunes. After my husband died in 1987 I listened to it over and over. I used a song from it "Our Love" for my wedding to my current DH. Its so nice to listen to it again.

World Music: Salif Keita (just discovered him, thanks to a friend with very eclectic tastes) Oldies: America, Harry Chapin, The Fifth Dimension...See MoreMusic that helps you...
Comments (58)oh there are lots of different things I like. I can have periods I'm really into somethiing/somebody and listen and listen only to them. or I can be in kinda silence mode. I do love rhythm and associate music with road trips a lot. but depends of course. what mood am I and all Dire Straits, Queen, Rolling Stones...The Cure..I did love Beatles a lot. Simon and Garfunkel. Kate Bush have favorite Hebrew singers, French( older songs by Mylene Farmer (latest albums I don't listen to already, too techno for me, with some exceptions), some by Serge Gainsbourg....Charlotte Gainsbourg as well..Chat..Zaz..), Russian..(prefer singers-songwriters but some bands too, especially the ones I listened too when being a teenager..some of them still perform) I can have nostalgic evenings when I listen exclusively to Hebrew for example. can be contemporary or psalms..depends on what mood I am in. It appears I love country . I love ballads, folk, indie folk. Lately listen to it a lot, both very gloomy and more upbeat. I like gloomy a bit scary and maybe a bit weird. And I love songs with a a feeling of anthem to them. some desperate hopeful glory. It's very life-like if they're good.. I love great lyrics..I love Anaïs Mitchell for example. A lot. Together with that I have a special dancing list, can be something very old like 30s or 40s, or can be 80's or 90's or now. And these are very happy:) Well at least melodies are..words don't have to be lol. I love kids' songs too:) Like, even toddlers' songs:) We can sing them with our kids on the road trip too. Even though my kids are pretty big. It's just a cool feeling. I'm not very musical-I remember plenty songs by heart and feel the melody but can't really sing it right..I'm not talented in it at all, so it's not like I understand in genres very well. I just start being into something, and it either holds for many many years, or for several only. My father was very musical though and my brother is, and kids are too..(the gene is kinda lost on me only lol)..some friends are very very much into music as well..so I'm influenced of course, or I can just stumble onto something and get hooked. (this forum I never even knew existed until last week or so)...See MoreHello Darkness My Old Friend…
Comments (25)That is an wonderful story and I can see Art Garfunkel doing that, he always seemed to have a gentle and caring soul. I loved Simon and Garfunkel's music back when they were most popular, and still do. My singer/musician nephew-in-law posted this story on Facebook yesterday, so I got to enjoy it twice. It's such a good story everyone should read it more than once !...See More- last year
