Your Favorite Music

[LisaT]

OK OK we all love the FH theme song...but what other music is in your ipod? Or programmed into your car radio stations? Or in your 8 track? :D

I am a huge Beatles fan...I saw them on Ed Sullivan, grew up with them...think they revolutionized the music world, the fashion world, and the world in general....I still mourn the loss of John and George .....

I also love Led Zep...a lot of pop 40 from the Beatles onward...Admire the Beach Boys, and remember George Harrison giving them credit for 'Pet Sounds'....Lucky Dave got to hang out (and sing!!) with them! I love so much music from the 60s 70s and 80s, I dont know where to begin!

NO rap..no opera..(sorry Beverly Sills), not much disco, other than the SNF music..

Also love a lot of 1 hit Wonders!! Go figure!

What do you love to hear??

back to page 1!

[TinkDncr82]

I have a crazily eclectic music collection. It has everything from Disney to Rob Zombie to Britney to the Beach Boys to Smashing Pumpkins, to Coldplay to Broadway to Country to Comedy to Foreign to soundtracks, to solo artists...lol tired even listing it. Not a big jazz fan or at least of modern "free form" jazz but some of the classics are good. I like oldies too and of course anything you can dance to. Music for every occasion right? ;)

[Lemonpoptart]

U2. :cool: I am a huge U2 fan. Have been since 1983.

Look at my username. "Lemon POP tart" That is a U2 reference... I promise I'm NOT obsessed with breakfast pastries.... LOL :D :D

[DaveCoulierFan]

I wonder what music Dave himself likes to listen too...

[Lemonpoptart]

I wonder what music Dave himself likes to listen too...

Hmmm... I wonder as well. :)

[DaveCoulierFan]

Hmmm... I wonder as well. :)

I guess we'll have to wait & see how he responds to this.... that is, if he does...

[TinkDncr82]

Well...he does have a picture with the lead guy of Counting Crows...I think we stumbled upon a clue! lol

[DaveCoulierFan]

Well...he does have a picture with the lead guy of Counting Crows...I think we stumbled upon a clue! lol

Maybe / Maybe not... who knows? :o

[DaveCoulierFan]

Maybe he does like the Counting Crows.

I never said he didn't... I was just saying maybe/maybe not... who knows?

[Lemonpoptart]

Kid Rock perhaps? ;)

[DaveCoulierFan]

I think he also likes the Beach Boys as well...

[Lemonpoptart]

I think he also likes the Beach Boys as well...

I have seen both Elton John and Billy Joel in concert. They put on a good concert.

So have I... I've seen them both perform together & seen Elton John by himself...

[Scarlet]

Elton John was in Brazil in Janury for two great concerts! One of them was broadcasted on TV, since I couldn´t be there live, I watched it on tv. It was really great!!! He played the classics and I had a great time just watching it, I can imagine what people felt there, live in the crowd!

Scorpions
André Matos (Shaaman, Angra, Solo...etc)
Edguy
Sonata Arctica

Wilco
John Denver

Mason Jennings

Most people will have no idea who Old Crow Medicine show and Gillian Welch are so here is a video of them playing "The Weight" together. Click (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXf-SuBbJa0)

[DaveCoulierFan]

Queen, Scorpions and Tom Petty are good as well.

lol, I mentioned Queen already...

here are some more I like:

Pearl Jam
Three Days Grace
Aerosmith
Foo Fighters
Metallica

[Scarlet]

I like some Metallica songs... My brother listen to them a lot so it´s not like I have a choice, he listens to it pretty loud.
Aerosmith, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan are great too!

I also like the Creedence Clearwater Revival.

[Lemonpoptart]

Me Gusta Aerosmith!! :D

By the way.. (shameless plug) I started a group on facebook for U2's Tampa Concert... hope no one minds me posting this...:o
U2 Show- Tampa FL (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=54674954097)

[cbeyer]

I love U2 as well. I also like 80's music. Are you going to their concert-U2?

[Lemonpoptart]

I love U2 as well. I also like 80's music. Are you going to their concert-U2?

Oh my stars YES!!!!! I saw them once before, Nov '97, during the POPMart tour. They had the huge glitter lemon on stage. If anyone ever wondered how I thought up my user name, now you know. It's a U2 thing. :D

Cbeyer, have you ever seen them? Are you going to go see them this tour?? I am taking my hubby and kids. NO WAY am I missing the band!! :cool: :D

[cbeyer]

Lemonpoptart-I haven't seen U2 in concert yet, but would love to one of these days. They are one of my favorite bands and have a lot of their music. Hope you have a good time at the concert. When are they playing in your area? You will have to let me know how the concert goes.

[Lemonpoptart]

Well, U2 will be in Tampa FL in October, and that is where I'll go to see them. It's a long drive, and we'll have to stay the night. But it will SO be worth it! :cool: I wish they were coming closer... but at least it will be in my state. They're coming to Atlanta Georgia too... but that's a seven hour drive for me. Guess I'll just stick to Tampa. :)

By the way....you can go to U2.com to find out when they'll be near you. :)

[cbeyer]

It will be worth the long drive. Let me know how it goes. I will have to look up to see if they are coming near where I am. Hope you have a good time.

[LisaT]

There are so many people Id love to see....A Billy Joel show has got to be awesome!!
The last budget-drainer for me was taking my grandson to see Van Halen in NYC 16 months ago....It had to happen---hes been a VH prodigy/fanatic since the age of 2....

[cbeyer]

How was Van Halen? I loved seeing Billy Joel in concert!!! We were pretty close to the front row too. It was awesome!!!

[Lemonpoptart]

SQUEEEEEEEE!!! Billy Joel?? Van Halen?? Oh man I'd love to see them!! I'd love to see Aerosmith too. I saw the Stones once. That was AWWESOMME!!! :cool:

[cbeyer]

I would love to see Aerosmith also!!! We do have a lot in common as far as music goes. :)

[Lemonpoptart]

I would love to see Aerosmith also!!! We do have a lot in common as far as music goes. :)


*high fives CBeyer* :cool:

[cbeyer]

High Fives Lemonpoptart back. You are making me in the mood to see a concert!!! I also like Sean Paul...if you have ever heard of him?

[cbeyer]

I would like to see Billy Joel again in concert too. I haven't heard about Band Rush. Have you heard of Sean Paul?

[TinkDncr82]

I've heard of Rush...my former roomate had a poster of theirs on her wall lol. I saw Billy Joel in Concert and it was really really good. He's such a talented musician.

[cbeyer]

Billy Joel is a talented musician for sure. I need to hear Rush so I know what you guys are talking about. :)

[cbeyer]

Aerosmith would also be good to see in concert.

[Lemonpoptart]

High Fives Lemonpoptart back. You are making me in the mood to see a concert!!! I also like Sean Paul...if you have ever heard of him?

Sean Paul! Temperature!!! Squeeeeee!!! Of course I have!!!! :D

I also love Rush and heck yeah Elton John!!

Off topic newsflash that matters to no one but me... LOL
I am in a FAB mood. I thought we'd end up getting (the cheaper) nosebleed tickets for U2... but hubby is going to insist on closer up!!

*dying of pure fangirlie joy*

I'm about to POP!! I gotta shriek it....

BONO!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

[cbeyer]

I love that song Temperature by Sean Paul and the song Like Glue by Sean Paul. I wish I could see him in concert. That is awesome you get to sit closer to U2 in the concert. Let me know how it goes. :)

[Lemonpoptart]

I love that some Temperature by Sean Paul and the song Like Glue by Sean Paul. I wish I could see him in concert. That is awesome you get to sit closer to U2 in the concert. Let me know how it goes. :)

Thank you Hunny!! :D

See my Myspace & blog links? I try and keep my obnoxiousness contained on there. LOL :p

[cbeyer]

Yes I see your links. Cool. Do you like Police by any chance, there music? I know, I am a huge fan of the 80's music. :)

[Lemonpoptart]

Yes I see your links. Cool. Do you like Police by any chance, there music? I know, I am a huge fan of the 80's music. :)

Oh my, yes. "Don't Stand So Close To Me", is my favorite Police song.
I looooove 80s music. That was rather, 'my era'. LOL

[cbeyer]

I love that Police song, "Don't Stand So Close to me"!!! We have a lot in common as far as music goes, that is for sure. :) I have so many 80's CD's. I grew up during the 80's as well. :)

[sllik]

rock is what i like :)

[Paula T]

I'm glad to see that classic rock storytellers are popular with the people on this forum. I have been a Springsteen and Billy Joel fan for many, many years. I saw Billy Joel when I was sixteen and managed to buy a front row scalped ticket in front of Madison Square Garden just before the show. I realize I'm showing my age but I think he only had 2 or 3 albums realeased at that time. Aerosmith is classic and is great in concert. I saw them at an outdoor arena. I am surprised no one mentioned Dave Matthews. My kids and I saw him when we vacationed in Phoenix last summer at an outdoor arena and aside from feeling like you're sitting in an oven in Phoenix, the concert was probably the best I've been to. Also no one mentioned Nickelback, which is good old-fashioned raunchy rock. I've been listening to their latest CD in my car. Good drivin' music. I guess I like my comedy clean but I like my music dirty!

[Lemonpoptart]

I love music. Good music makes your soul sing!!! I guess it's why I love U2 so much. Some of the lyrics are so amazing... they can stir in you every emotion... and also you can't listen to it and stay still! :cool:

[cbeyer]

I know what you mean about U2!!! I love their songs!! I also like Creed. :)

[jbraud1]

Hey all,

Well one of my favorite bands is Boston, but im usually not limited to a certain genre of music(except rap, dont really like it). I go by the way the song makes me feel. I usually like inspiration beat songs and that could be anything. I listen to the words, but moreso i listen to the beat cause im a percussionist/drummer(not marching band though).

[cbeyer]

That is cool you are a drummer.

Lemonpoptart-I heard the song "Where the Streets have no name today on the radio by U2" You are so lucky you get to go to their concert. I think that is awesome. Please let me know how their concert is. :)

[LisaT]

I love the 80s! well, up til maybe '86 or '87...then it started to get too rappy and different..

I remember paying $10 a month for MTV....but man, it was SO worth it...the original VJs...Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Culture Club, MJ...Thomas Dolby...Twisted Sister...lol those were the days....

[LisaT]

I love that Police song, "Don't Stand So Close to me"!!!


De do do do
de da da da
Is all I want to say to you

De do do do
de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through


I love this...and, of course...Every Breath You Take...

[Lemonpoptart]

That is cool you are a drummer.

Lemonpoptart-I heard the song "Where the Streets have no name today on the radio by U2" You are so lucky you get to go to their concert. I think that is awesome. Please let me know how their concert is. :)

:D

I shall indeed.

[cbeyer]

Lisa T-I also love the song Every Breath You Take. I have so many 80's CD's!!! I also have some 90's music as well, but love 80's.

Lemonpoptart-thanks for letting me know how the concert goes...can't wait to hear all about it. I will let you know if I end up going to their concert.

[Lemonpoptart]

Well, it won't be until October. But I will. :D

[cbeyer]

Thanks. :) I really need to go to one of their concerts. :)

[Lemonpoptart]

Thanks. :) I really need to go to one of their concerts. :)

It's a religious experience. :cool:

[Lemonpoptart]

Your lucky that you get to see U2 in concert Lemonpoptart. Let me know how it is.

You guys will all get a full report. :D

Yea, Weird Al is awesome... lol...

and I hate rap, r&b, & hip-hop

[Lemonpoptart]

I am not a "country" music kind of person. Some of it is good, but I loathe that really horrific twangy stuff.

I love certain rap // hip hop. :D Awesome stuff!! Love so much old stuff too... Elvis, the Beatles, the Doors, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd.. a lot of the classic rock stuff. Oh I love Weird Al!!! He's a genius!! :)

One singer I love, who is totally "out of character" for me to be so ga-ga over him and his music... Josh Groban. *swoons*

True story: At my 16th birthday party, my dad was totally trashed and blew out the speakers... listening to none other than Black Sabbath. LOL!!

And of course...no secret in these parts... my fave of all time is still U2! :cool:

[cbeyer]

Lemonpoptart-U2 rocks of course as you know. :) I am also not much of a country person either. We have a lot in common it seems like in the music area. :)

Perfectly expressed!! Music can make your soul sing!! :cool:

It's nice that I have folks who share my eclectic taste in music! :)

I have met a few of these artists over the years. Daryl and John were super guys!! Very kind to their fans until recently. Daryl's head is getting big again and that's causing some issues with fans.

Julian Lennon was such a sweetheart! My crazy friends and I followed him around on the last tour (1999's PHOTOGRAPH SMILE tour) and I got to know him and the band well. It also helps when you have an asthma attack on stage singing a well-known song, and Julian doesn't know what to do!!! LOL that was the LAST time he invited a fan to sing with him!! Ha ha ha

Ted Nugent is a great artist, but a very politically-motivated person. He doesn't like to have conversations with fans who disagree with his political views. I am of the opinion that just because you are famous does not mean that you can belittle others who do not share your opinions, nor can you be successful if you use your celebrity and money to do so.

Duran Duran's Simon LeBon was a total princess! He did a gig for a local radio station last year and was a jerk to the radio station DJ, the personnel at the event, and to most of the fans. He was supposed to meet 'n greet with the fans (part of the agreement) and he was "too busy" to meet with them. That was the LAST TIME the station played their music.

My friend, Chris Trapper, used to have a band called The Push Stars. They have been featured on the soundtracks to many movies, including Something About Mary, Gun Shy, Say It Isn't So, and a couple more Farrelly Brothers' movies. He's a great guy and has some really fantastic music! You can check him out at www.christrapper.com, on Facebook, MySpace, and probably Twitter (sorry, I don't tweet!).

I met the guys from Journey in 1986 on their last tour together (Raise On Radio). Really nice, very talented, and super to the fans. I'm sad that Steve Perry can't tour anymore (that, and he and Neil Schon do NOT get along at all) because his voice is the voice of Journey, in my opinion. I got to meet them because the bass player for Glass Tiger (opening band) wanted to meet me and he got me backstage. I talked to him for a short time, but my friend, Susan, had to get home and we had to leave after the show.

Met Bryan Adams in 1987. Wonderful to his fans, often going out before the show to shake hands, sign autographs, get his picture taken, etc. He is short, believe it or not, but has a smoldering look that can make any woman swoon!

I also met the drummer for The Romantics, Jimmy Marinos. Weird guy, I must say. He came into the bookstore that I worked at in 1986. He brought all kinds of industry mags to the counter, then proceeded to ask me if I knew who he was. Of course I did, but I played coy, trying to figure out what his game was. He wanted me to give him the mags for FREE!!! Uh, no way!!! I was an 18 year old kid, but no dummy!!! After a few minutes of trying to lead me into saying who he was, but I would not, he just paid his bill and left. Never saw him again.

Detroit has a load of talent there (you all know that already...he he he!!) and it used to be a great place to meet top talent.

Also, that's not all of my favorite bands/musicians. I have scads more, but I was trying to narrow it down. Honest!!! LOL

Take care!

[LisaT]

Wow!! Interesting!! Cool!!!

Ahhhh Julian Lennon....Ive been saying for 20 years that Im afraid I will die without ever having met a Beatle....I still fear that....
With John & George gone, I might have to concede to meeting Julian or Stella McCartney??!!?
My love for the Beatles cannot be properly expressed on a messageboard...

[Lemonpoptart]

Oh believe me, if i had to list them ALL out... we'd be here a month!! LOL

I have met some of the older entertainers. Some were nice, some... not so much. I remember meeting the Del Vikings. I was maybe 22 at the time, and these gentlemen were all old enough to be my grandfather. They seemed sincerely pleased to have some young girls eagerly asking for their autographs, and while I told them how much I'd enjoyed their show. Wonderful gentlemen, all of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oSR-lT-PEw

I met Herman's Hermits. (minus one Peter Noone). They were fun and flirty. Autographs, hugs, and laughs all around. They were great fun to meet.

I met Davy Jones of the Monkees. He is about my height, (I'm 5'3"), and has the darkest brown eyes and the loveliest accent you ever heard. He's rather soft spoken, and quite the gentleman. Gives amazing back rubs. ;) His daughter Sarah is sweet and sincere and chatty and happy. One of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Micky Dolenz has got to be the most fun celeb I've met thus far. He is hysterically funny, naughty, very, very bad yet so sweet. LOL I just love Micky. We all had dinner together, and he had me howling with laughter one minute, and turning 15 shades of red the next. He is amazingly charming. Never pass up any chance to meet Micky. You'll just love him!!

[DaveCoulierFan]

You two are lucky to have met some musicians... I wish I could meet the musicians that I like...

[motowngirl1967]

Wow!! Interesting!! Cool!!!

Ahhhh Julian Lennon....Ive been saying for 20 years that Im afraid I will die without ever having met a Beatle....I still fear that....
With John & George gone, I might have to concede to meeting Julian or Stella McCartney??!!?
My love for the Beatles cannot be properly expressed on a messageboard...

Lisa, I'm with you. I own at least one copy of EVERY vinyl album The Beatles ever put out. I remember singing along with the radio to, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," and my favorite song by them, "Hello Goodbye". They are the reason I love music!

Julian is really guarded. I met him because I showed up at the venue he was playing at before he even got there, and I baked him cookies, enclosing a personal letter in the tin. He is a little guy, too (short and skinny), but has a personality and voice that blows me away.

Take care!

[motowngirl1967]

Oh believe me, if i had to list them ALL out... we'd be here a month!! LOL

I met Davy Jones of the Monkees. He is about my height, (I'm 5'3"), and has the darkest brown eyes and the loveliest accent you ever heard. He's rather soft spoken, and quite the gentleman. Gives amazing back rubs. ;) His daughter Sarah is sweet and sincere and chatty and happy. One of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Micky Dolenz has got to be the most fun celeb I've met thus far. He is hysterically funny, naughty, very, very bad yet so sweet. LOL I just love Micky. We all had dinner together, and he had me howling with laughter one minute, and turning 15 shades of red the next. He is amazingly charming. Never pass up any chance to meet Micky. You'll just love him!!

I have always figured Micky would be "the naughty one" of the bunch! Davy Jones was one that I swooned over when I was young; I still have a "thing" for boys with that British accent!!! ;) Lucky you!!!

Why is it no one really great comes down to Florida much? I haven't seen too many great concerts or artists since moving down here.

Take care!

LOL I was fortunate, to be sure. David Jones was always my favorite as well...(I thought he was sooooo cute!!)... but Micky is definitely the more outgoing of the two.

Great concerts or artists NOT coming to Florida?? LOL!! Funny you should say that!! Well, prepare yourself... U2 is coming to Tampa in October!!! Squee!! And oh Gurl... I am SO gonna be there!!! :cool:

I love the 80s! well, up til maybe '86 or '87...then it started to get too rappy and different..

I remember paying $10 a month for MTV....but man, it was SO worth it...the original VJs...Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Culture Club, MJ...Thomas Dolby...Twisted Sister...lol those were the days....

OMG, I didn't think anyone would remember Twisted Sister. The band started in Long Island, NY, but the drummer during their most popular period was in my graduating class in high school in Staten Island. My son actually likes the band too, when he had to do a 80's lipsink stage presentation he picked Twisted Sister and did a great job at "hamming" it up as the lead singer.

[Lemonpoptart]

I have had the opportunity to meet Davy Jones. You are so right about him Lemonpoptart. I have met Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Billy Ray Cyrus, Dave Matthews.

I remember listening to Technotronic. Pump Up The Jam was the big song for them.

Faith Hill I think I'd enjoy meeting. She seems like she would be nice. Though I'm not a country music fan, I do enjoy some of her songs.

[DaveCoulierFan]

You all are SO lucky... I want to meet some famous musicians too...

[Lemonpoptart]

Faith Hill is nice. i almost didn't recognize her. She wasn't really all that dressed up.

*laughs*

Well, initially I'd only seen David Jones when he was on stage. But a year or two later I finally met him. The first time, he was strolling by in a blue warm up suit. LOL How he manages to look elegant in a warm up suit, I'll never know!! :p

He was dressed very impeccably the next couple of times I met him though. :)

[Krazyklubhead87]

This is going to be a great discussion. 80% of my Ipod touch is filled with Dance, Techno, and Trance music, yes I do love clubs. Other than that though, I really like old classic rock like Zeppelin, AC/DC, Peter Frampton, Pink Floyd, etc. Country too is alright, you gotta be in the mood for it though. And of course, there is some Rap I can jam too, but I definitely stick with the Dance! :)

When I think "dance and techno", I think of U2's POP album. "Discotheque!!" I looooooove that song!! :cool:

I introduced my teen daughter (who owns 2 guitars), to the music of Frampton about 2 weeks ago. She sat, enraptured, taking it all in. She has a new hero now. :D

[Krazyklubhead87]

That's cool. I myself own a guitar and play all sorts of classic songs on it, especially free bird from lynard skynard and stairway to heaven by zeppelin. Frampton is awesome, it's good she has him as a hero :D

I used to play the piano.... only lasted about 2 yrs though... I really would LOVE to get into drumming though... :D

[Scarlet]

guitar is awesome! I´m learning how to play the acoustic guitar...maybe someday I´ll play the electric guitar as well :D

[Krazyklubhead87]

Acoustic guitar is awesome!!! electric guitar, however, is better, more vivid and a lot more fun. It's harder to learn though so stick with the acoustic for now, that's what I'm doing :D. When i get sick of doing homework or have a bad day, i chill out with my guitar and it really is a stress reliever.

[Scarlet]

yeah that´s what i´m planning...they say the acoustic guitar prepares you for the electric. So I´m gonna stick to the acoustic for now...still got a lot to learn !

[Scarlet]

you can learn it too! The piano is a beautiful instrument, I love it!

[Lemonpoptart]

you can learn it too! The piano is a beautiful instrument, I love it!

Several years ago, my husband and I bought an old church piano from a pastor. None of us knew how to play, but my kids begged for it. We still have it. It's in my front room, and every child that visits is allowed to play on it all they want. We still can't play it!! LOL

[cbeyer]

Lemonpoptart-LOL. I used to play the Piano when I was younger, but now, would probably need a refresher course. :)

[cbeyer]

I was more into the Organ when I was younger as well, loved it and then ended up changing to Piano. I thought Piano was harder than the Organ.

[LisaT]

I started piano playing at age 4...I still have the program from my first recital...almost age 5...

As a teenager I was really good, if I do say so...now I just play when I get the urge...not too often..Prefer Beatles and my old classical masterpieces...some were 12 pages long...cant do THAT anymore..

But on topic...I love everything 80s (and early 70s are really my favorites)..

[Scarlet]

All this piano talk...you guys need to learn the acoustic guitar so you can play guitar instrumentals I am telling you...but at the very least... somebody learn some instrument...piano...guitar...harp..something! Don't let talent sit there deep inside you..music/arts will bring the best out of you.

Right on!!! I first started to learn how to play keyboard at the age of 10, but soon gave that up cause I was just a kid who didn´t want any discipline hehehe A few years after that I started to wish I could play the guitar...but again, I had issues with the discipline and time went by and I´m only studying music NOW. But it´s cool, I´m loving it and I hope to get better soon. So far I can barely play the basic chords hahaha

[LisaT]

I had my first piano recital right before my 5th birthday!! I still have the program...

Jeremy--you liked the pic of me with Dee Snider & JJ French?! :D


I think Led Zep surely ranks as a top 3 contender of all time...ageless appeal...old, but yet cool and new...
How many people have identified with 'Stairway To Heaven' thru the years!!?>?

[cbeyer]

LisaT- Loved the song 'Stairway to Heaven' and remember listening to that growing up as well. :)

[Paula T]

Stairway to Heaven was the theme for my Junior High School prom - Classic - prom in the gym with stars hanging from the ceiling. LOL

[LisaT]

LOL you and probably a million other proms in the 70s and 80s...

There was just something magical about that song, huh?

I bet all of us know all the words!

Barry Manilow (I'm a die hard fan, seriously)

my cousin was lucky enough to go up on stage with him during a concert and sing with him like 12 yrs ago... apparently that's something he does every show?

she's an awful singer... but i'm sure the was the least of her concerns at the time. :D
