what a day just picked up my Gordon Lightfoot presale tickets 10 rows back from stage. Didn't even know he was still touring. Should be a good show

I like all sorts of music, but my preference is classics.   When it comes to choosing my favorite composer, Mozart wins, hands down.

Hows this for musical taste.  going to Gordon Lightfoot in March. Then its off to Alice Cooper Motley Crue in May (Daughter bought tickets for the wife and I's 25th wedding anniversary). For June we have tickets for Don Williams.  folk hard rock and then some old country

I noticed this t-shirt while reading a news article the other day.  It speaks volumes!

And ya know what Slow? There will never be a time when music was as ever better than the 60s and 70s. My son says I still have my head stuck in the 70's. I will never argue that  ;) 8)

I agree!  I think about that every time I see my lava lamps.   8)

If you've seen more than a few of my YouTube videos you'd know firsthand that my musical taste varies quite considerably!

I like music that sounds good & feels good & a lot of the same artists I see mentioned I've listened to at one time or another & appreciated

My Dad used to work in the music business booking concerts for Beaver Productions, until I reached my 13th year, that was 1977

I remember hitting the bongos as a child on stage while BB King sang the blues, Charlie Daniels was a big warm
Bear of a man back then who I still think is one of the nicest human beings I've ever met to this day

I grew up Listening to Linda Rondstadt, Marshal Tucker, Kenny Loggins, Bob Seager, etc...

My Dad was close with Ted Nugent & the two couldn't have been on more opposite ends of the spectrum, still are, Lol, can you say "Wango Tango?" :)

Like many young teenagers back then I was head over heels in love with Stevie Nicks & I was able to meet her & spend a little time with the band backstage, oh the memories!

Today, as I stated earlier my music tastes vary greatly & I'm not opposed to any genre that has a catchy tune, or a good beat but I also like the slow stuff as well which includes country music, particularly so when I'm out in the country, it just feels right

Hate to say it but there's a lot of trashy music out today, stuff put out merely for the sake of making a whole lot of money, over commercialized drivel

When I was growing up it seems there were true musical artists at every turn who were in it for the right reasons, singing from their hearts & souls, with passion!

They're still artists who sing from the heart & stay true to their roots but it seems they are becoming harder & harder to find but anyhoo, enough rambling :)

Hey JP- what an incredible experience for your growing years.

I could write a book on how music has changed in the last 30 years. It took a dive down hill for quite awhile. Now tho, in todays music on the radio stations, I'm hearing some sound and solid music with incredible voices. Granted it's all back up with technical sounds. But it's getting better.

Listen to this!

The interesting thing about Avici, is that he is actually just a DJ. He does no singing himself, or to the best of my knowledge even plays an instrument, but he mixes everything he can get his hands on to create his work. I like some of it myself.

Ya, been reading a bit more about him. Extraordinary talent with sound.

I can be rolling down the highway, turn this song up to warp 4, and damage my ears just a little more.

I'm hearing some spledid music from One Republic as well.
