webestang Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I listen to mostly classic/hard rock, classical and Jazz (drummers). And even though I admit and like Patsy Kline and Billy Holiday I also secretly like Rosanne Cash. Back in the late 80's when Target was getting rid of their vinyl they had her first 4 LP's marked down to 99 cents each. I bought them cause I thought maybe I'd like her more than her father and I did, sorry not a fan of Johnny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the "I Robot" album from Alan Parsons! The song 'I wouldn't want to be like you' is from the viewpoint of a robot..... The whole album is based on that concept.....

jaymcminn Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Duran Duran's "Rio" album is my go-to musical guilty pleasure. Honestly, it's a great album from start to finish but as an 80's kid there's a certain stigma attached to being too into Duran Duran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggon Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I love Archy Jay "The Snake Charmer". I'm also a huge fan of J-Pop and J-Metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Yes, I love a certain singer, but as far as feeling guilty: Regarding German schlagers, there's the 1968 East German teen comedy musical Hot Summer - fondly referred to over there now as the DDR's version of Grease, but it's really more like Beach Party. Lots of relentlessly catchy songs, including the opening number: Lead actress Chris Doerk reminds me a bit of Gidget-era Sally Field.

TonyK Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I can't stand the sound of bagpipes. Well, I do like them in AC/DC's "It's a long way to the top....." I had to check this video out mostly because of the girl but I kind of like it. Sort of a Trans-Siberian Orchestra take on the sound of bagpipes.

There was girl in jr. high that I liked quite a lot and Duran Duran was her thing. So I listened to it and found I liked it quite a lot. Still do. Also, my mother is a huge Neil Diamond fan and that's what was played at home when I was a kid. I grew up with his music in the background. I've seen him live three times.
