I've always said that ABBA is maybe (next to The Beatles) the group most people from diverse tastes like. Just play Abba in a party and everybody would join in (that happended last weekend, when most of the people in a party had gone somewhere else in the house when I started playing some AOR and some prog - ehem... I'm trying to educate my friends!  - and they all joined in again when Abba started on the cd player!)

I see no problem with Silvio Rodriguez, even though I don't like to mix politics and music as he does, always found his music incredible. On the other hand I don't like Serrat's music but I believe he has a great voice.

If any of the musical cowards who contnue to attack the spirit of Karen Carpenter I shall personally leave this web-site. Seriously.

I used to listen to Joan Manuel Serrat (from Spain) and Silvio Rodriguez (from Cuba) beside my old prog LPs , specially during '90s when I ignored most of the progressive bands (Microsoft, thanks a lot for the net!). Actually I like... ejem ejem... Coldplay

THE ACE OF SPADES! THE ACE OF SPAES! THE ACE OF SPADES!
I saw Motorhead three times and I think my permanent loss of hearing can be attributed to these shows! Ian rocks!

OK, I'll confess now, but this post may be deleted soon!
I like good male singers (only to listen to you understand!)
I have many Andy Williams and John Denver albums, and really do enjoy them. Also ABBA, they were great for several years, "The day before you came" is a classic song by any standards.
Better stop now, before all credibility is gone!

Check out Mike Figgis's movie about the British blues scene: "Red White & Blues" , there Tom Jones is singing with Jeff Beckas his guitarist on a number of tunes. I didn't realise what a mighty fine rock and blues star the guy is, until I heard him singing the Stone's "Gimme Shelter" with the New Model Army backing him about 10 years ago. If you like electric blues, seek this out!

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

Tough call... I don't want to be stirring things, as a relative newcomer, but to actually admit having such disgusting artifacts in one's abode constitutes a breach of several Progarchives regulations, if I'm not very much mistaken...
Perhaps you should take a penance - I know the very thing!
You must sit and listen to "Looking For - The Very Best of David Hasselhoff [IMPORT]" for an entire week.
Hmm. Maybe a bit harsh - OK, 5 minutes then - but not a second less!!!
Tip: Hot Shot City is particularly good...

Except for (c)RAP, I've have just about every genre out there. Blues, Country, 80's synth rock, new age (love George Winston and Michael Hedges (RIP)).
My wife and I do the KARAOKE thing. We even have our own machine. .
I've been told I've got the Bowie vocals down pretty well. Egad, too much info, eh?
Last night I was arranging my "NEW" den (Marty (wife) calls it my CAVE) and, much to my chagrin and dismay, I found my wife's collection of Mariah Carey/Celine Dion CD's, ugh!!! . Really guys, they are not mine, really they're not. Please believe me. Don't banish me from this forum, please...

Guilty Pleasures...hmmm...
let's see what I got:
- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ...but that's kind of 'normal' I think...
- Finntroll ...I think it is really funny because I imagine the band dancing around a fireplace, drinking beer instead of playing and the language is quite funny... - My Dying Bride - Yes, VERY slow doom metal...there's no music in this world that is more melancolic (maybe Vand der Graaf sometimes)
- O.k. guys now I will take the lead because I liked the MTV Shakira Unplugged (but to defend me, it was her old stuff before she was WORLD famous), shame on me - and I bought the new Norah Jones album 'feels like home', yes I did ...
but that's all, with exept of some classic Rock like Led Zep, Uriah Heep and Roy Harper and some (not much) 'classical' musicI just listen to prog (including Fusion/jazz)...

Nothing wrong with Soft Cell - or Duran Duran. I even like some early Numan stuff AND Nik Kershaw.
Tom Jones is an awesome singer!! Nothing wrong there!!
The two Bs of ABBA were awesome at writing clean, crafted pop songs with incredible arrangements, and the two As were gorgeous!
However, my "Guilty" secret is that I like Barbra Streisand. Not just a little - she was my childhood fantasy - a woman with a sense of humour and a voice that made my spine tingle every time. So what if she had a nose that looked like it was the model for the front of Concorde? I was into personality, even aged 8. I've got most of her albums, but Guilty (with the BeeGees) is one of the best - it's superb for winding down to - especially the awesome track "Make it Like a Memory". I can also recommend "Wet", if only for the 8-minute "No More Tears" duet with Donna Summer - who is also superb, IMNSHO.

Quote: Cliff Richard, hey? I have two home-made 30-track 50s compilations myself.
At his best there isn't much wrong with Cliff (officially as sold more singles in the UK than anybody else) - but watch out for the grannies who now go to his gig! Trouble is Richard can release a lot of rubbish in between the good ones. Interesting again to see the Canadian awareness of the man, which never really travelled south across your border with the USA. Clearly Neil Young listened to and is a self-confessed fan of Cliff's original guitarist Hank Marvin - the Hank referred to in the Young song "Hank to Hendrix", is Marvin rather than Hank Williams most preople think, at least according to Young in interview - more proof, check out the Hank Marvin tribute album "Twang" with Young and Randy(?) Bachman doing a cover, and Peter Green doing another. Another Hank to Hendrix fan is the Norwegian jazz rock guitarist Terje Rypdal -listen to his guitar solos for the melding of two quite different rock styles.

First off here is my Elvis collection:
'68 Comback Special
Elvis' Gold records Vol.II 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong
Elvis Country
Loving You (original pressing worth $$$$$$$$$$$)
Live From Madison Square Gardens
Aloha From Hawaii (Quadra-disc)
Live From Memphis
Change Of Habit ( RCA Camden label )
Almost In Love (Also RCA Camden, Rubberneckin' is one of my Elvis Faves)
Separate Ways ( Also RCA Camden)
Elvis In Concert ( His final show in 1977)
Blue Hawaii (Original Pressing worth $$$$$$$$$$$$$$)
I might even have some more hiding away in my album collection.
Fortunately I don't have any Donny Osmond albums or anything by the Partridge Family. I have Arrival by ABBA and actually think this band has certain qualities. As for the eighties Peter, I don't think it completely sucked. I've got Sons & Fascination by The Simple Minds as Well as the Tower Of Strength EP by The Mission. I've also got Stop Making Sense by The Talking heads which I love. I have two Sex Pistols albums, Never Mind The Bullocks and Who Killed Bambi? I have Ministry The Land Of Milk & Honey as well as Roger Whitacker's Greatest hits. Grand Funk Railroad Live Album, Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies, Cheap Trick Live At Budokan (who doesn't have this one), Frampton Comes Alive, Fantastic (A K-tel compilation album which featured Hocus Pocus by Focus) Well, I could go on and on but you get the jist. I listen to just about everything under the sun not only Prog-rock. Peter must know a band from Newfoundland called Figgy Duff I've got three of theirs, Pam is one frigged up chick! It would be interesting to catologue my music collection.
