[upgrading mama]

awwwww DF
I will be glad to answer....right now I am supporting Nick Lachey, post Jsimp....and a kid named Teddy Geiger who is from my home town Rochester, NY!!!

There is a small write up about him in the current issue of People mag..he is great!

 

[glaucomflecken]

OOOH! You mean now, or as the years have gone on???

I forever heart, even as a child, 70s bands...REO Speedwagon, Chicago, Three Dog Night, Doobie Brothers, CCR, Fleetwood Mac, Bread, Boston, Carpenters, Jefferson Airplane, Kansas, The Eagles, etc, etc etc. I could go on!
Motown sounds like The Stylistics, The Spinners, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, etc.
Ballad singers like Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand, Jim Croce, James Taylor, Kenny Rogers,
I just love all music from 70s (excluding disco) like rock ballads, love songs, and those late 60s/early 70s "groovy" sounding songs like "incense and peppermints". I swear I was born in the wrong decade. I love platform shoes too

But as a kid: Loved all 80s music esp Madonna, Michael Jackson, Culture Club, Pet Shop Boys, Hall and Oates, etc. There really aren''t too many 80s songs or bands I dont like

Preteen: NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!! And went thru the metal head phase and loved Poison, Def Leppard, Skid Row, Warrant, Guns n Roses, etc. (My 8th grade teacher said I was the only person who could get away with listening to Skid Row while wearing a New Kids on the Block t-shirt heehee)

High School: I was big into Freestyle/Top 40 (Stevie B, Cynthia, 49ers, Jocelyn Enriquez, Laissez Faire...very very big in Chicago in the 90s)

College: Liked The Real McCoy, Gin Blossoms, Smashing Pumpkins

I liked so much...

Motown (Jackson 5), I liked dance stuff an R and B, but as a teen...HEAVY METAL and HARD ROCK. You name it, for the most part I liked it. I am sure I will forget tons...

Favorites even now would be Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Peter Gabriel, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Van Halen...I am 40 and my 13 year old loves rock too and is amazed when I can "name that tune" in the car...

Ohhh, diamondfan, I love love love Stevie Knicks- Brian and I saw her perform 2 summers ago- she is the coolest chick ever! I love her raspy voice, and almost "witchy" presence. Journey, Peter Gabriel, Don Henley, Chicago, Foreigner, they are all awesome!

I just love Dave Matthews Band= they are one of my favorites- I also love R&B a lot too! Music is definitely one of my hobbies!

Jimmy Buffett is my all time absolute favorite. I was born in Ft. Lauderdale and have had sand in my shoes ever since! When I listen to his music it de-stresses me, and takes me away to a daydream of island paradise, cold drinks with umbrellas in them, and the scent of coconut lotion. MMMMM!!!

I love music and I listen to a lot of different eras and styles. Instead of regular radio, I use my XM radio in my car all the time so I can hear a wide variety of music.

I was born and raised through most of the 1980s. I still love 80s music and I get out to see a local cover band called the Mego-80s as much as possible. I have a HUGE list of songs downloaded onto my laptop here from the 80s. I also love a lot of early 90s rock and cheeseball pop.

As for bands/artists I like, here''s a (VERY) short list:
Duncan Sheik
Jeff Buckley
Ben Folds/ BFFive
John Mayer
Ace of Base
Madonna
Gin Blossoms
Blues Traveler
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Depeche Mode
Franz Ferdinand
The Killers

How could I possibly forget The Bee Gees and THE BEACH BOYS. I saw the Beach Boys live in the 60''s in Oakland. We also saw them a few years back, with the new members. Mike Love is wonderful. Thy were playing at Clear Lake. I was lucky enough to meet him in the lobby and he has a wonderful sense of humor, got his autograph and my hubby took my picture with him. It sits on my fireplace mantel. LOL

The King''s Singers "oft have I vowed" madrigal.
At the moment.

 

[Sundial]

I loved Led Zeppelin when I was younger and it amuses me that my college aged children have posters of them on their walls! Lately I have been listening to Collective Soul.

 

[E B]

I love all kinds of music, but here''s a little sampling (I love a lot of what my parents love/d!): Crosby Stills and Nash, James Taylor, The Beatles, Allman Brothers, The Eagles, Joni Mitchell....I''m also really into Eels right now. Oh, and Nick Drake is one of my alltime favorites.
