My life definatley has a soundtrack... almost everywhere I go I have music playing. At home, iTunes is pumpin, laying in bed, my iHome is pumping, in the car-iPod, when I don't have my iPod, my phone has iTunes so it doubles as an MP3 player.

So yeah, music plays a big role in my life, even when I'm in class there's usually a song on my mind... sadly, I'm untalented and don't create music, but I freakin love listening to it.

So yeah, new thread idea... the "Music" section of this website needs more popularity... so what are your favorite songs? Favorite artists? Why are they your favorite? What memories do they stir up?

I guess I'll start... I am a HUGE indie guy... anything acoustic I am probably going to love, I prefer almost every acoustic version of any rock song.

My favorite song at the moment is probably "Strawberry Wine" by Ryan Adams. It tells a great story and chills down my spine, love it.

So yeah, hopefully this thread will take off... if not, then you all suck!

So many... now see... we don't s*ck :)

I am also a music lover and find that music is often a close friend, a soft Kleenex, a warm cup of hot chocolate, a knowledgeable professor, a pastor/priest or even a soothing voice, in my chaotic life.

However, I can't take away from the need, at least once a day, for complete silence (usually while I'm in the car) No phone, no radio, no Blackberry, nothing. There is some level of downtime that I seem to need throughout my day. So though I appreciate a great Neil Diamond or Frank Sinatra song to name a couple greats, I also need that quiet.

Does that mean I suck?

[albear]

Lol yea I know what you mean, everything seems wrong to me if there isn't any music being played somewhere within earshot,lol rock or metal my favourite types, favourite at the moment... hhhhmmmmm... what's up people by maximum the hormone

[shygrneyzs]

What a nice, friendly post, until your last few words. Lol.
Favorite, heart stirring songs - "Your Song" by Elton John, "The Way You Look Tonight" (favorite singers are Tony Bennett and Michael Buble), "The Lady in Red" by Chris De Burgh, "On the Beach" by Chris Rhea, just about anything by the Doobie Brothers, and so many more.

Much depends on the mood. There are times I just want to listen to early blues artists such as Blind Lemon or Robert Johnson. Sometimes it is the swing band era and I cannot get enough of Louis Armstrong (that Hot Fives and Seven Collection is incredible!). Then you get me into big band and away I go! Lol. Performers such as Coleman Hawkins and Benny Goodman led the way for some of the best music ever (strictly my opinion).

I'll stop there. Music is just part of everyday life.

Hope that did not "suck." You have a superb day!

[Allheart]

I am the same way. Sometimes peace and quiet is my favorite song :)

I just LOVE Sir Elton, especially "Your Song" and I love Phil Collins too. The two of them just sweep me away... wooooooosh

But this one puts me in a place that I never want to come back from...

The "suck" part is to make you think "wait a minute... i dont suck!" and then post an answer to prove that you don't suck... so far so good... thank you un-sucky people.

Carry on

3.) Even Now (Barry Manilow)

4.) The Way You Look Tonight (Frank Sinatra) :)

You guys are killing me! Almost every song/artist mentioned I just love! I looove Luther, Elton, Rod, Aerosmith, and on and on. In fact I have a list of concerts I soooo want to go to (sadly Luther won't be one :( ) But, and I no a lot of people out there might go booooo... but I love Barry Manilow songs! I would go to Vegas not to gamble but to see Barry, lol.

When I was growing up my Mom and Dad owned a music store, so instead of an allowance and for helping out at the store we got records. My Dad was also in a band, so we grew up listening to band rehearsals, and then my bro started his band... so music is just a part of life like getting up and brusing my teeth... life without it would stink, lol

One song that always stands out for me though is by an artist named Gary Moore, and the song is "Still Got the Blues for You"

Check that one out Allheart, betcha you'll love love love it! :)

[starbuck8]

How about some of your fave 70's tunes guys... now you've got me going! Haha
