So what's your music?

[Reggie]

I'm currently working through all my Rolling Stones albums, I get a surprisingly large amount of funny looks as I belt out 'The Last Time' at the top of my voice, while driving through Stratford. :)

[Shizara]

coo... Rolling Stones... I like all sorts of music...

o/' Ferry cross the Mersey.... o/'

Am fond of music like Albatross too... even Jazz and some Classical... depends on my frame of mind at the time.. I used to be a Susie Q fan as well.. .

o/' Like a bat out of hell..... o/'

[Milly]

I'm getting quite into Arctic Monkeys!

[Will]

I've been listening to Happy Mondays, and Joy-Division recently. All down to watching 24 hour party people, which is an excellent film. :)

[Steve W]

My favourites include The Smiths, Suede, Stone Roses, The Jam, Queen, Coldplay, Oasis and Chilli Peppers

[Will]

I can't stop listening to a Duran Duran Live CD I found the other day. Forgot how good they were. :)

[Steve W]

Hi Will. Not been round here recently due to work and study. Watch this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQJki6PDii8

It's quite funny.

It's quite funny.

That is very funny, that performance seems an absolute world apart to this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud31JWsyxGw

They really come across as true musicians here, makes you wonder why they aren't bigger today.

[Steve W]

Well they have had their day now I guess. Will always have the following they had in the 80's, but time has moved on.

I recently went to the Spa Centre to see Go West (Peter Cox) (King Of Wishful Thinking etc). They were excellent.

[Leofric]

I'm currently listening to:

Classic Meets Rock - Barclay James Harvest featuring Les Holroyd (Live with the Prague Symphony orchestra)
Premiata Forneria Marconi's latest album

Both great 70s progressive rock groups.

Also been listening to some Orb.

[Steve W]

This morning I was listening to Led Zeppelin

[Leofric]

I saw folk-rock group Fairport Convention play to a pretty full Symphony Hall in Brum last night. The support was from Show of Hands, another folk group, and Tiny Tin Lady... Excellent concert! Fairport are now in their 40th year of touring/recording.

[cathidaw]

[Isaw FAIRPORT cONVENTION AT CROPREDY in all that rain last year -and in the rain the year before.
I think they are o.k. but I think we go for the atmosphere- hoping it's not the wet sort.
I have just bought a 78 record off e.bay.
Andre Kostalanetz and his orchestra
playing Claire de Lune. I used to hear it when Iwas child -my parents had the record and it became a bit of my childhood.
I heard it on radio 4 about a year ago and I thought "I must have it".It was the only one of his not on a c.d so I bought the record, now Imust get it transferred to c.d.
I have a Dansette 78 player in my loft but Ithink the needle may spoil it-so I'm looking around for another way.Ihave many 'Claire de lune's' by other orchestras but this to me is the best.:peacefingers:
Anyone have a bit of nostalgia they like to hear?

Ihave not been on line for a week -my computer has been away being upgraded.,

[Shizara]

Earlier it was Fleetwood Mac. Now it is Rachmaninov - Prelude in C sharp minor.
Next it will be John Rowles - possibly unknown on this side of the world, but, nevertheless it is easy listening.

[cathidaw]

When I was a lot younger I was very much into Joan Baez.
Now -well, in March--I shall see her in the flesh at Warwick Arts Centre
cant wait:o

[Emily-O]

Is that their latest one Lex?
I remember Kings of Leon having one highly publicised album that did really well. And I think the others are still in the dark a bit. But then again I may be getting bands confused!!

[Josie]

We are sitting at work listening to Queen right now hehe! Very upbeat just what I need to get my tired self through a long friday afternoon............................ :eek:

[crazzycat]

Some Funk usually by Jamiroque

[jimmy]

i listen a lot to brass band music having been brought up with it.
i can recommend phillip mc.cann and the sellars band for some good listening.

[Josie]

Ok so I started this morning at work with some xmas album and now I have moved onto Mowtown gold! :band::band::band:

[cathidaw]

This year I have been teaching my 8 year old grandaughter to sing some songs that I like.
She has developed a very strong voice for her age, and perfect pitch.
We sing things like Waltzing Matilda.and some English folk songs.but also some of the beatles songs. Also some of Joan Baez's freedom songs
Beautiful Boy is one of her favourites and now is learning Hey Jude. We find some of the songs on u-tube and look for the best recordings which we sing until she gets the tune perfect.
She loves pop songs but I think some of the classics help to round off her voice. She has this week been selected by her teacher at school to audition for the Warwickshire Chidrens Choir. She is so pleased so am I.
Last Christmas she sang solo in her local church.

Music is music however its put together , Rebbonk . I'd like to introduce you to this guy who walks you through how a great piece of music takes it apart and explains composed and put together . In this particular case , its Elton John's Rocket Man, a simple melody but brilliant - I love this. This is what interests me in music, classical or pop. The rhythm, timing the careful construction and the final polished whole creation of it.
Wish Rick Beato could teach me music. Alas.
