17.0. "General Music discussion" by COMICS::JAMESM (Three Bleets to the Baah!) Tue Mar 10 1992 11:34

    How about making this a place to discuss music generally. If you have 
    bought a new album, been to a concert, or have just got tickets for U2
    this friday and want to talk about it and swap opinions....Anything 
    which is music orientated. Metallica to Mozart, Vivaldi to Venom.
    
    Have fun

    > have you checked out "Ten Summoners Tales"?
    
    Yes, I have but I don't like all of the songs. My absolutly fav of
    Sting is "Nothing like the sun". "Little Wing" is one of my
    "evergreens" :-)
    
    And I like the songs of Bon Jovi!!

Ah yes, the smile that spans the ocean.

Read the music topic today, but didn't see anything of note...

Sing us a tune, Jackie... you know, the one you've done 300 choruses of since
this morning 8^)
17.21Living on a Prayer...CHEFS::WARRENJJ'espere vous revoir bientotWed Feb 15 1995 00:519
    
    I'm still working...from home today.
    
    I don't think my impression of Jon Bon Jovi would go down to well.
    
    They played some really nice 'work to' (background) music on our local 
    radio station today and not too much chat.

>For those of you outside of the continential US: What music/groups hit
>your country's "Top 10 List" most frequently?

I stopped keeping up to date with the top 10 a long time ago...  If
it's worth hearing, I'll hear it on my radio...  Good music stands the
test of time as far as I'm concerned, and most of the stuff these days
just gets played once and never heard of again (not usually worth a
second listen anyway)...


>For those everywhere: Who would you say the 10 all-time greatest, and
>10 personal greatest, bands/groups/singers, etc. are?

That's an impossible question for me to answer...  It really depends on
my mood what my current favourites are...  Constantly changing...



H.  :o)
17.30CHEFS::WARRENJdevil in disguiseThu Apr 11 1996 21:3510
    
    The popular music trends here seem to be a little different than in the
    US.  Like H, I don't keep up with the top 10 - mainly because I don't
    like the current music trends (Pulp, Oasis) which make up the hit list.
    
    Again, my tastes are changeable and our music collection is varied with
    the collection ranging from Bryan Adams through Madonna, Elton John,
    Rankin Family, Film/theatre soundtracks and Opera.

    I'm with Choc..
    
    I really don't like alot of the current stuff here in the UK.
    In my opinion, its just alot of no-talent noise that gets played
    over and over and over and over.
    
    e.g That song by Supergras which has been played daily since
    I arrived here last year on jun 28th. The song goes like this
    
    We are young
    We are free
    da da da
    da da da 
    ( insert you own 3 word phrases and you get the picture )
    its called feel alright I think.
    
    Just my opinion...

17.49Musc was my first love.JGO::DIEBELSFri Jul 12 1996 13:387
    Hi, H (henry?)
    
    I like all kinds of music. At home I listen to things like reggea,
    blues, rock, and all sorts of popmusic but when I'm going out in the
    weekend I go competely out of my mind with housemusic. But that music
    is only good to dance on, but I have to dance; I don't like it at home
    just to listen to. 
17.50MARVIN::TANGFri Jul 12 1996 13:5411
> Hi, H (henry?)

Yep, that's me...!

I like most of the styles of music you mention too...

By the way, housemusic is considered a bit old these days - showing
your age...?  ;o)
