I also like Depeche Mode, the Cure, the Smiths, etc. not so big on Grunge rock. But I don't mind listening to some of the Wiggles and a few of the Sesame Street songs. Maybe it's just whatever we get used to.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267793335415078380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-14283394341445628772011-09-13T13:54:15.085-04:002011-09-13T13:54:15.085-04:00Amelia - HUge Beatles fan here, and I like some ol...Amelia - HUge Beatles fan here, and I like some old school rap - "I like big butts and I cannot lie! You other brothers can't deny!" - but a lot of the newer stuff isn't to my taste. I can listen to almost anything but the twangiest of country, and polka.<br /><br />Hi, catslady! I think you nailed the key point - keeping an open mind - and open ears, I guess. About the video: I hope Katy P. took the opportunity to talk to Ms. Deborah Gibson, who played her mother in the video. ;-)Tamara Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248676173138017003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-34143459084872936242011-09-13T13:49:49.743-04:002011-09-13T13:49:49.743-04:00Carolyn, I have to out myself here and say that wh...Carolyn, I have to out myself here and say that while I have an abiding love of country music LYRICS, most country music is not to my taste. I recently heard a cool song by The Band Perry that I enjoy, but I think it has as much to do with the bass player's David Cassidy haircut than anything else. Yeah, call me shallow. <br /><br />Grace - yes, to each their own, indeed. I'm a huge fan of darkness and dissonance - in both music and writing. Stephen King is my patron saint, and I named the villain of my first book "Stephen" in homage. ;-) <br /><br />Terry, yes, I love going out to to dance, or to watch live music. Each club definitely has a vibe of its own, so it can take some hit and miss before finding one that suits.Tamara Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248676173138017003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-79570544208830341712011-09-13T13:44:38.475-04:002011-09-13T13:44:38.475-04:00Stephanie - yes!

So I guess I have a variety except not so much rap except a very few and not too much real heavy metal but I think I'm open to everything else.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-11774655681939302052011-09-13T08:53:19.373-04:002011-09-13T08:53:19.373-04:00I have been a Beatles fan since I was 12 years old...I have been a Beatles fan since I was 12 years old.

It reminds me of dancing in a crowded club with the wild colored lights flashing all across the dancers, making it surrealistic and appear as though everyone was dancing even faster. Definitely not my mother's style. :)Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-86620494010067350282011-09-13T08:13:25.593-04:002011-09-13T08:13:25.593-04:00Hmm.

Mel Torme qualified as a vocal genius, even when he was singing "When Zazz Turned Blue." I'm also partial to Brahms, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, while the Goldberg Variations are mesmerizing. <br /><br />And all those bands you mentioned? So much sound and fury... clever maybe, but musical? Over produced, I'd say, wearing the musical equivalents of too much make up and big designer heels.

I married a man who sang in a country band (in border town dives) in the college years. He still gets out the guitar at family dinners and we two step around the floor and down the hall while everyone who wants to sings whether they can carry a tune or not. I write about cowboys who love country music. Those old beer drinkin', cheatin', two steppin' songs are very much a part of my life...and yep, I got the love of it from my Momma!Carolyn Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704111268464382004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-71856643610306265952011-09-13T07:25:45.891-04:002011-09-13T07:25:45.891-04:00yeah, it's clever but give me a good metal ban...yeah, it's clever but give me a good metal band like Avenged Sevenfold or Bullet For My Valentine with musicians who actually play instruments over a pop princess who's more interested in clothes and makeup. of course, the metal guys have enough ink to print a newspaper but it's looks good on them.Stephanie Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17575644344905307406noreply@blogger.com
