can't narrow it down to one...
The Grateful Dead Pink Floyd Jimi Hendrix (although it's a bit much for Jack!) The Brain Jonestwon Massacre Elliott Smith I'm sure I can add more...! |

| Kathy |
It changes with me, at the moment it's Sam Cooke with the odd bit of Andrea Bocelli.
Who on earth are The Brain Jonestwon Massacre Aqui.

| Bovey Belle |
Folk Music. 60's music (mainly because I grew up with it!) Favourite band - probably the Chieftains. | ||||||

I like a wide range of music. Love the Dubliners ( my grandad's fault) and the Spinners, so folk music is a big yes for me. On the other hand I like anything 60's, 80's with some 70's. My favourite group are the Bauhaus, followed closely by Nic Cave. Oh and just remembered Roy Orbison, Simon & Garfunkle, Cat Stevens, Johnny Cash, David Bowie, and I'm a closet adam and the ants fan | ||||||
| Becki |
you and me both then
|
||||||
| willow |
Simply Red, Queen ,Cat Stevens, Niel Diamond  , Aha.
|
||||||
| nanny-now and forever |
why embarrassment at neil diamond? he has written some of the best known pop songs in the 60's and 70's loads of people have sung his stuff i bet no one else apart from me still has their copy of "tap root manuscript" though and whatever happened to "blood sweat and tears" is what i want to know? |
||||||
| Emma Jane |
My dad got me into music when I was a girl, then I worked in the music industry for 10 years so my musical tastes are a mess! Some faves....
Ella Fitzgerald Nina Simone Fats Domino Charlie Parker Muse Snow Patrol Queens of the Stoneage Foo Fighters Thin Lizzie Elvis Dolly Parton Bob Marley Robert Palmer Jools Holland Feeder The list goes on and on and on and on |

For anyone else who likes Pink Floyd and reggae (Aqui.... ), can I recommend 'Dub Side of the Moon' by Easy Star All-Stars, which is a sublime combination of the two (and I'm listening to it at the moment!)

Yep! And James Blunt, Jonny Cash, Billy Idol, Clannad, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, most classical music (at the moment I am listening Vagner's Das Rung der Neberlungen, ) Earlier on the radio they played Jonny Cash's "Pain". Truly moving. |

Pink Floyd, The Verve. | ||||||
| Ladybird |
Reading through the previous postings there are such varied
favourites but nobody mentions my favourite Alan Price . (I run a fan club forum) I have seen his concerts many times over the years and as he is doing a tour with The Manfreds this October/November I have tickets to see him again (sigh). |
||||||
| Libby |
Blimey I haven't heard of Alan Price for years?? He's still alive then?? Well he must be if you run a fanclub forum for him
|
||||||
| Kathy |
Didn't he sing "Oh No Don't Stop the Carnival?" Have you been a fan a long time then Ladybird? | ||||||
| Ladybird |
He did indeed Kathy. Yes could say I have always been a fan since he started with The Animals. As I said, he is doing a tour this October/November with The Manfreds and I have got tickets to see him, but of course!
We are really lucky that these rock stars from the sixties are still doing shows for us as most of them must be in their late 50s or even well into their 60s so they are retiring age and still rocking and rolling - and looking very well on it most of them. |

what a fun idea,listing everything to get to know each
other! my favourite music is anything by Pink Floyd. I also listen to Deep Purple, Hawkwind, old Genesis, old rolling stones, motorhead and cheesy '80s rock! I don't think I've bought a CD that I didn't have the vinyl of |

It is lovely isn't it, I like Eric Clapton.
|
||||||
| sparhawkiw |
Other than the two bands I'm in (a local concert band & a marching band)
it would have to be Electric Light Orchestra
|
||||||
| Libby |
ELO yes definately
|
||||||
| Kathy |
What do you play Sparhawkiw and what kind of marches? | ||||||
| sparhawkiw |
I play the single e flat tuba, & have two of them sat in my front room, the smallest of the proper tubas... I keep telling Lady Sparhawk to wait until I can get hold of the one I really want
As for marches I wouldn't want to think how many different ones I've played ranging from traditional british, through to contemporary ones & some foreign ones too I particulaly like playing the Sousa marches & marches by Richard Waterer (Former director of music of the Royal Marines & Sousa fan) I think both of them must have had some strange fascination with seeing a tuba player suffer 
|
||||||
| Kathy |
My Father loves marches and I was bought up listening to Sousa! I think he must have just about every military march ever composed, at the moment he is particularly into german marches and it's funny to see an 83 year old standing up and conducting an invisible band with a knitting needle (my Mothers)!
|
||||||
| Libby |
excellent
|
||||||
| polgara |
