The Soundtrack of YOUR Life – What Is Yours?
|
Punk, (British) New Wave, Goth and Grunge. Can you tell I'm a child of the 70s and 80s? I was in a band for several years and while we played a lot of pop to make money, we fed our souls with The Clash, Joy Division, Spandau Ballet, The Pogues, Souxie and the Banshees, Kate Bush, The Psychedelic Furs, Tears for Fears, early Police etc, etc, etc. About the time I was getting out of music, a friend gave me the headphones to his walkman and said, "just listen to this. Just. Listen." It was "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and it blew me the fuck away because compared to when was on the radio at that time, there was so much of the raw bleeding anger the rock and roll is all about. So my early adulthood was populated by a lot of alt music like AIC, Sonic Youth, etc And being a little girl from Jersy, Springsteen and BoJovi, of course. It's a birthright.

I've see some of those posts you have a lot of varied music there. Would love to read a post from you about your musical tastes. Post a link here if you want to. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Hi. You really gave a sad list. I recognized almost all. Does that make me old. The hardest was Glen Fry. He did a lot of great music. With the Eagle and on his own..He will be missed. My sound track is very vers. Supertramp, Marshal Tucker Band, Allman Brothers, styx, Three dog night, Pink Floyd and the best Led Zepplin. I'm one who listens to music all day and have even found some good new artists too. Sirus Radio is great.  Dave.  When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

My favourites from your list would be Percy Sledge, BB King and of course Glenn Frey. I listen to all kinds of music...but thinking about it it's mostly music from the 50s to 80s. Not saying the majority of 80s music is "good", but there are some gems in there. I inherited my parents old lp collection when they passed and I've kept most of them ever since. I also listen to a lot of classical music.

This is an interesting idea. It got me to thinking about a musical timeline. The first recording I remember liking and listening to over and over was a song by the Sons of the Pioneers, a forty five RPM single cut in 1946 called "Cool Water", and the flipside was "Tumbling Tumbleweeds". I listened to them repeatedly on a little portable record player my mom had. She used to change them for me so I wouldn't scratch them. Next up would have been "The Tennessee Waltz" by Patti Page, made about 1950. I must have been five or six when I was listening to these, but it could have been earlier. I had to look up the flipside of that one, I guess for the same reason everybody else does- no one ever listened to "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus". I don't remember it either.

I'm such a music whore my tastes change daily. Kzoo just got me on a Chuck Berry kick, last weeks news about Glenn Frey definitely got a few Eagles songs on my "starred" Spotify list. I hate hearing someone like him died, but when Lennon died it was so much more of a shock to me, since he was murdered. But I guess it's all a sudden shock when you don't really hear about them being ill. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
