Hi, All!
I found a website that I really for listening to all sorts of music. It's Grooveshark - Listen to Free Music Online - Internet Radio - Free MP3 Streaming
I can't think of many of the rock tunes from those decades, although, I know that I really liked a lot of songs.
Let's see, Dan Folgelberg, Elton John...
What might be some other artists and songs from those decades that might be your favorites, please?
I'm really partial to acoustic guitar and acoustic piano.
Thanks!
Them,I like whole lotta rosie by ac/dc
Sweet child of mine, guns and roses
Amazing and crying by areosmith,
Sweet home Alabama, lynard skyard,
Smells like teen spirit, nirvana
Sharped dressed man,zz-top,
Anything by queen,
And a little van halen,just for laughs.
I'm an 80's child clough.
Since you're from Ireland, Redhead35, I'd even like to know about some Irish groups. The Irish/Celtic type of folk music is also something that I love! I don't know how much of that would also be on that site, though...
If you have recommendation for another site, I'm all ears!
Thanks so much for your answer! :)
Irish Songs - Music, Lyrics and Midis for Traditional, Drinking and Folk Songs
Top 10 Celtic Folk/Rock bands
YouTube - Luke Kelly Raglan Road
Here's a few for you clough,the last is luke kelly singing one of my favourites.
Luke kelly is how I imagine you look!
Really.. hes cool.
Another favourite is 'black is the colour' by christy moore,and 'nancy spain'.
I also suggest 'she moved through the fair' sung by sinead o conner.
Oh wow, there's so many... but I'll tell you that while you music site is good, I'd go to Pandora.com (and no I don't work for them... LMAO) because if you can think of even ONE band you liked you plug it in and they play songs/artists based on your suggestion. You can also say whether you like the song or not and if you don't, it never plays it again. :)
But I'd say for me, I like the 80's best. I like them all. But especially Toto, Ambrosia, Chicago, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bruce Hornsby, to name a few. :-) Rate me. HTH!
Hi, WendyToth!
Thanks for informing me about pandora.com I'll check it out. I had originally asked about "easy listening". So, perhaps that might need to be defined a bit.
To me "easy listening" is somewhat soft as well as a little bit slow, using a minimal number of instruments.
Thanks!
My favorite songs fro that era are
Roberta Flack.. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". "Killing Me Softly".
Elton John.. "Daniel", "Goodbye Norma Jean"
Joan Baez."The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"
Bob Dylan (My husbands Favorite) "Lay Lady Lay"
The Beatles all their songs, "In My Life" "Hey Jude" "Let It Be"
Andy Williams and "Ray Conniff and the Ray Conniff singers..Especially their singing the song "You"ll Never Walk Alone" and "The Second Time Around" and
"Love is a Many Splendered Thing". My Dad had a diverse taste in music so we grew up with the country songs of Jim Reeves and Hank Williams, the mellow songs of Bing Crosby, "Moonlight Becomes You", my dad sang it to my mother when she used to get aggravated at him. Nat King Cole , "Ramblin Rose and "Unforgettable".
John Lennon ..Imagine
Stevie Ray Vaughn.. "The Sky is Crying"Lenny", "Texas Flood" "Caught in The Crossfire". "Dirty Pool"
Anne Murray.. "You Needed Me" "A Liittle Good News".
Stevie Wonder.. " Yesterme,Yesteryou,Yesterday. "A Place In The Sun".
"Anything by the Temptations" Eric Clap.."Wonderful Tonight"
The Eagles.."Lying Eyes", "Desperado", "Peaceful Easy Feeling"
Journey, "Open Arms", "Faithfully" "Don't Stop Believing", "When You Love A Woman"
Dion.."Abraham, Martin and John"
The list could go on and on but I don't have enough time to name all my favorites because the music of that era my era is the greatest. Thanks
Clough.. I posted my comment on your post and it didn't show up. I don't know how I do it but somehow if there's a way to complicate the computer I'm the champion. I agreed with your comment but wham it was there one minute and gone the next. Thanks for thiss question. Music is my passion and always has been since I heard my Dad singing "Danny Boy", when I was about four. He left my siblings and me a legacy of love, not only for the Lord and people but for Music. Thanks again..
I picture you as maybe a little Jerry Garcia and JFK.. a mixture of both and that is a compliment.
Do you mean a rating or a separate post, please?Quote:

I love easy listening. I have enjoyed this question. I've seen some of the songs people have commented on and I guess I'd forgotten them. Thanks Clough for making a dreary week a whole lot brighter.
I've definitely forgotten them!Quote:

Gosh Stringer.. I think we may be reliving our past. The songs were great, the bands great. I'm really glad Clough started this thread! Worst song.. I've Got a Brand New Pair of Roller Skates.
The best at what, please? Being a procrastinator, worry wart, anal retentive, loser, wannabe at this or that, lazy and active, but having a few ambitions,.Quote:

I don't like winter at all. I think I get blue missing my children and wishing they were all back home again. I am thankful for this forum it has been a true blessing for me. I guess I just wish for the old times again. Thanks for asking, I'm amazed by you and the people on this website. Thankful I found you all. God BlessQuote:
