I think the only stuff I presently have, which isn't in Prog Archives would be 2 Blind Guardian albums, and 1 Jefferson Starship album...that's it... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

From the list I listened to all artists from America up to Elton John with no exception - I still hear some of them. Below Elton I didn't pay much attention for all of them. Out of the list there are hundreds of others I listened to like Beatles, Stones, Who, Led, Byrds, Creedence, Animals, Donovan, not counting dozens of Brazilian singers. So I voted for America... 'I need you' is one of the best pop-rock ballads IMO.

STING - I consider him and Peter Gabriel to be two modern musical geniuses. Also when I'm in the mood of listening to something but really don't want to deepen in the music I enjoy:

I listen about 2/3 of the time to other music than prog. My taste
includes several of your options, but I went with Simon and Garfunkel.

I rarely listen to something non prog, off that list it's The Cure and Skid Row. Posted By: el böthy

For me Simon & Garfunkel were two amazing musicians, Simon being an incredible writter. And they have made some excellent songs...real classics. Actually S&G are one of Yes main influences, along with the Beatles!!! Did you know that??? ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"

| Before i got really into prog, it was only black and death metal for me. I find that you can gain a lot for being a fan of these genres because i like 70's prog, which is old, and the musicians are old, while death metal is continuing to run strong. I can see concerts many times a month and the musicianship is outstanding. |

Classical, jazz, folk, metal.... But prog rules over all those genres because it combines them. -------------

I could name many many other artists but in order not to do that I choose from the list Gn'R cause I used to like them very much.... Estranged still remains one of my favourite songs... -------------

The hair metal era! I prefer Mr. Big over GnR, though both are very good! -------------

GnR for me, since they're responsible for probably the greatest mainstream rock album ever - Apetite of Destruction

I basically grew up listening to my cassette tapes (in the end I owned well over fifty of them) filled with recorded tracks from the radio or from albums by friends and friend's friends, and so a whole pletora of artists kept me entertained, among them: Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Simon and Garfunkel, The Scorpions, Dire Straits, The Police, Dio, Iron Maiden, Saga, plenty of Finnish rock of course...and my last musical infatuation before my decade long hibernation from music listening began in the early 90's, Guns'n'Roses. But above all were Bon Jovi, the undisputed kings in my casette player! Ah, those were the days some twenty years ago now...it's a good thing I wasn't all that fuzzy about the actual sound on those cassettes, though! Nowadays if I have an appetite for something outside of prog -and it happens on a regular basis, yes-, I am most likely to choose The Police, my Nick Drake compilation, The Beatles, Talking Heads, PJ Harvey, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder or some Pet Shop Boys. A special mention to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, which sounds absolutely right on warm summer evenings... The thing is, I would like to expand my non-prog collection at a faster rate but all those prog albums I see in the stores just seem to get in the way...! ------------- I was made to love magic |
