What music do you listen to..

Nice Idea Helen, pity the distance apart is a major hindrance. Breakfast is a perfect time for the awakening of the multitudes, fun with seriousness.

ABBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mentioning them in the midst of serious appreciation of music? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, after all they were the most successful Swedish export after Volos.
Re your comments about opera though, too broad a brush, there are many different styles, some heavier than others. But different strokes for etc!!!
Coincidence here, it was Pip who sparked my interest in opera, on one very indulgent weekend, she played some for me and I was converted!
Cheers,
HelenQuote:Hi, umm, would I lose my membership here if I said I was a big fan of ABBA’s music:)??
Well there I’ve said it. Have to draw the line at opera though…sorry to any opera fans.Muff xx

Hi Muffin, you have redeemed yourself with great acclaim and a mighty cheer from the watching hordes. Wonderful selection. (well, most, !!!)
K.C. Captain & Tenille???
Cheers,
Helen
P.S.Only teasing.Quote:Thanks Helen
Thought so re ABBA……yes I concede that there are many variations within opera (and confess to coping with some). Maybe I can redeem myself then if I list some music I listen too (depending on mood)….
Any Herbert Von Karajan production, any Valantina Lisitsa (Chopin Etudes are my fav), Lionel Hampton, Patsy Cline, John Williamson, Slim Dusty, Air Supply, Mike + The Mechanics, Guess Who, Deep Purple, Captain + Tennile, Rod Stewart, Bryan Ferry, Split Enz, Rick Wakeman, Neil Diamond, KC, Peter Cupples, Hunters + Collectors, Cream, Cat Stevens, Simon + Garfunkle, John Denver, Midnight Oil, Madonna, Beatles, U2, Gwen Stefani, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Toni Childs, John Farnham…..
Will this get me off the hook 😉 ?

I listen to all these on Gold 104, used to do a radio spot, (rerer to previous stuff I posted) and often filled in with 60’s70”s easy listening.

Captain and Tennille (Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille married duo from the ’70s “Love Will Keep Us Together”)
Know you’re teasing,

A truly eclectic list, I wouldn’t even try to comment as a lot of these I hadn’t heard of! Gee, that’s sad!
Thanks for sharing that with us though. Just goes to show, you’re never to old to learn!

Oh, dear, I am the only girl here who loves classical music?
Bach in particularly, Beethoven late string quarters, Shostakovich string quartets, Mozart operas, Haydn’s cello concerti, Kreisler and Paganini violin pieces, occasional bit of Vivaldi (other than 4 seasons) and much more.
I was visiting some friends of my brother’s at the weekend (en-femme). They had some opera music on in another room… “Ah… Marriage of Figaro”, I could not resist it! (You are such a show-off, Christine!)
I would love to go to a concert en-femme. Any Sydney classical-loving girls want to join me?

hmmmm… music… whatever catches my ear given my mood… which could be anything from classical to new age, sentimental to headbanging/trance/heavy metal….
and i do not just listen to english songs… mandarin/japanese/korean/cantonese songs as well… of course it doesn’t mean i can understand the lyrics… like i said… whatever catches my ear given my mood…
-
Quote:Oh, dear, I am the only girl here who loves classical music?
Not at all.
I love trad stuff like Bach and Beethoven, but what I REALLY get off on is stuff like Stravinsky, Strauss and more obscure composers such as Olivier Messiaen.
I’m also a HUGE fan of orchestral soundtrack scores…

Wow, I just discover this thread, typical me to be late to a party by a year or two.
Love your list Lina, the Day The Earth Stood Still is my all time favorite sci fi film (I cringe at the thought of a remake staring Keano Reeves)
I’d add to you your list:
Blue Lines – Massive Attack
Maxinquaye – Tricky
Dummy – Portishead
Isaac Hayes – Black Moses
Pharaoh Sanders – Karma
Sonic Youth – Goo
Mr Bungle – California
Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Baby
Angelo Badalamenti – Twin Peaks soundtrack
Ministry – Psalm 69
Queen – A night at the Opera
Cocteau Twins – Heaven or Las Vegas
Cheap Trick – Cheap Trick
and so on… -

Ha ha…better late than never!
Quote:Love your list Lina, the Day The Earth Stood Still is my all time favorite sci fi film (I cringe at the thought of a remake staring Keano Reeves)Me too! Why can’t they just leave the classics alone is beyond me…
Quote:Dummy – Portishead
Mr Bungle – California
Angelo Badalamenti – Twin Peaks soundtrack
Ministry – Psalm 69
Queen – A night at the OperaAgreed on all of these…especially the Twin Peaks soundtrack! My favourite TV show of all time.
Have you ever seen Ministry live? I saw them at the Big Day Out years ago…good times.
And let’s not get started on Mr Bungle…
😉
Have you checked out Portisheads newish album, Third? A lot of people have panned it…because it’s such a radical departure…but it’s grown on me, and I love it…

I didn’t see anyone listing ABBA as one of their favourite bands.
In male mode or in female mode my music taste remain the same, that is music from the 60s to the 80s. I once ate too much about the music from the 90s to me there’s just a little too much rap!
but from now on I like bands like Ok-Go and vampire weekend their names sound very odd but the music is brilliant.But not to forget stage show musicals such as Wicked which I just saw last week in Melbourne.
PS I also listened to Abba

Penny.Yeah, I really dig ABBA as well. Thanx to my Mum being a big fan of them when I was a kid!
They were actually one of the first bands I ever really got into…along with the Village people, and KISS…ha ha…oh dear…

So we’ll love listening to music, how many of us actually go out and buy it. I am very happy to support Australian bands, when I have the chance love to go see them play and by an album or is that CD.
How many of us download our music ? ( for overseas bands, it looks like I download all it) it’s not that I’m cheap as in my name, it’s that I just don’t have the time. So for the last year I downloaded all my music for free. that’s the only way I would have picked up a five CD pack of Abba ( some songs sung in Swedish and Spanish).

I have downloaded music and as a result have bought a lot of CD’s I wouldn’t have normally bought. I know it isn’t right but it’s sort of try before you buy…and it’s meant I haven’t ended up with a lot of crap I’d never listen too as well.
The stuff I do listen to is mainly R&B, soul, rock, classical and opera…anything like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steely Dan, Staple Singers, Mozart, Bach and Sibelius…among heaps of others.
Hard limits are country music….and anything by Andre Rieu
