What are you listening to?

[sandar]

What CD is spinning on your disc player or what vinyl is decorating your phonograph these days?

What tunes are catching your attention on the radio?

What's the last CD/album/tape/8-track ( :shock: ) you picked up or were given?

My latest aquisitions:

Last Action Hero

Pop:
Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals

I downlo - er - aquire new albums as the mood strikes me, and my tastes change radically from week to week, but my music collection has more movie soundtracks (both symphonic and lyrical) than everything else put together.

[LisaG]

[Moley]

Elvis Presley's 30 Hits

Going to go order Mickey Where Art Thou soon.

Love Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Official Disney Theme Park CD's.

[MissBianca]

How funny you should ask this today! In my 3-disk CD player are three Disney CDs! One has Illuminations music and other parade music, one is a wonderful Disney Love Songs CD with schmaltzy arrangements, and the third has attraction songs. They've been keeping me in my Laughing Place :D

[kathi]

Well, in the family room we were listening to Jimmy Buffett - Songs You Know by Heart today while drinking (many) margaritas with my friend Sheri and her husband!!

In the car (much to my husband's dismay) I have been listening to the Christmas Opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors". He refuses to listen to it in May - but it makes me happy any time of the year so I listen to it whenever I need some cheering!

[LimeGreenCheri]

My newest aquistion: Thankful Kelly Clarkston

My newest Disney aquistion: Oh Mickey Where art Thou Moley you'll love this one!

In the car: Eric Clapton Chronicles He is my favorite!

My radio is set on a local Christian Station. I love Contemporary Christian. My favorite peopel and groups include NewSOng, Michael W Smith, David Meecce, Steve Curtis Chapman, Randy Stonehill and many others too.

My CD changer in the car is 6 cd's and 3 of them are Disney ones. I have Festival of the Lion King I purchased at WDW last year, then theres the Disneyland offical Album I purchased a couple years ago and then there one more with parades of Disney on it. The other three CDs includ 2 Christian ones and one Oldies from the 60's CD I custom made myself.

Yes Im old enough to remmebr Tracks, I use to have many of them :roll: :roll: :lol: :roll: :roll: I remmeber a Carpenters one, a BeeGees one and one from the movie with Kris Kistopherson and Barbara Stisend " A Star is Born" Lucky I got rid of my 8 track way back in the early to mid 80's. I hated that buzz sound it made when it played everything.

We've ripped most of our CD's to DH's hard drive, so we almost always listen to a little bit of everything. Although my play list is a little heavy with the Dixie Chicks (I can't count days to WDW, but I can count down days to the Dixie Chicks concert! :D)

Last CD we bought was Rascal Flatt's Melt

On the radio, my current favorite is Toby Keith/Willie Nelson's Beer For My Horses

In the car is a mixed MP3 disc

[fantayzya]

We're kind of on an italian kick right now. Odd that neither of us understands it but we're loving it lol.

Our tunes right now consist of Andrea Boccelli and Rondo Veneziano, both of whom I stumbled on while searching for music from WDW (go figure) Rondo is instrumental.

In a whole different part of my world, the last couple of days I too have been on a Buffett kick. Same CD. Songs You Know By Heart. "I don't know where I'm-a gonna go when dah volcano blows!"

(sorry-passing out earplugs now)

[Pinky]

Don't laugh... but I just bought Justin Timberlake = Justified!! I LOVE it! LOL!! :oops: :oops:

Three CD's I am playing now are the Best of Sade, Somewhere in Time soundtrack and the Dave Matthew cd Crash.

[Darla]

Currently I have been listening to John Mayer, Instrumental Disney Love Songs, and a old WHO CD. MY son bought me the John Mayer and it's really very good. :)

Darla

[sandar]

Darla,

I dig the Who, too. Which cd are you listening to?

Sandi

[pixie]

Right now I listen to our own sammieG when I am driving my car. I really love her CD and her choice of songs. She is a star!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Barbara

[Sheryl]

Right now I have 2 cd's in my car and I switch them . The soundtrack from Remembering the Titans and Led Zep, Dh has Soundtrack for Matrix and Phish. Since we are in the process of remodeling our livingroom, our stereo is taken apart and the cd's packed away until we are done. My boys are into hip hop lately or Aaron Carter.

sheryl :minnie:

[Darla]

To Sandi
The Who cd is like one of the "BEST OF". I always tell this story that the first concert I ever went to was the WHO and I was so young and stupid, I really didn't even know who I was going to see, I just knew that some friends from school invited me to "a Concert" :D and I was up for it!! What a dork!!

Darla

[sandar]

Darla,

You're not a "dork" if you liked the music once you got to the concert! Thanks for sharing that story. :D

Think I need to get "Who's Next" fired up on the cd player tomorrow.

Hi,

Old thread. I sometimes open old threads if the topic interests me and if I feel I have something to contribute. Well, I am one of those people who believes that life without music would be a mistake.

I like almost everything: classic rock; jazz; new age; blues; classical; some country; Christian; world music.

My favorite bands, composers and artists include but are not restricted to the following: Eagles; Genesis; Pat Metheny; Neville Brothers; SammieG; Mozart; Vivaldi; Matt Redman; Twila Paris; Michael W. Smith; Steve Winwood; The Who; Joe Satriani; Santana; Fleetwood Mac; Dire Straits; Dixie Dregs; and others.

Some of my favorite songs include "Hotel California" (Eagles); "Layla" (Derek and the Dominoes); "Free Bird" (Lynyrd Skynyrd); "Yellow Moon" (Neville Brothers); "Like No Other Night" (38 Special); and "Boys of Summer" (Don Henley).

I have a collection of almost 900 cds, stored in a cabinet taller than I am in alphabetical order, and to keep the collection fresh I listen to them in the order in which they are stored, from left to right. It takes me more than a year to listen to all of them in this manner.

Right now I am listening to The Police: Regatta De Blanc, the one with "Message In a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon". Coming up: The Police: Synchronicity; The Police: Zenyatta Mondatta; Elvis Presley: 30 #1 Hits; The Pretenders: Last of the Independents.

Earlier:
The Alan Parsons Project: The Best of the Alan Parsons Project;
The Alan Parsons Project: Eye in the Sky;
Jaco Pastorius: Jaco Pastorius;
Steve Perry: Street Talk;
Pink Floyd: The Wall (2 cds);
Robert Plant: Now and Zen;
Poco: The Very Best of Poco.

In my CD Player I have:

1. Josh Grobin
2. Evanescence
3. Rascal Flatts
4. Rascal Flatts - Melt
5. Rascal Flatts - Feels Like Today
6. Keith Urban

Josh Grobin has such an amazing vioce. Can't understand most of the CD (about 80% of it is in Italian) but "You Raise Me Up" is beautiful.

Evanescence is the only album I can say I know ALL the words to EVERY song. It is my "dark" music, when I am in that sort of mood :wink: Sheesh, I guess I must be in that mood A LOT! :shock: :lol:

LOVE Rascal Flatts - those guys and their harmonies, mmm mmm mmm...

Keith Urban rocks - love the accent too :D

Waiting on Keith Urban's latest and Toby Keith's Greatest Hits - they are on my santa list :D Also like Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Daryl Worley, Alan Jackson, Mark Wills.

I listen to mostly country in the car without Mik, and Radio Disney with her. I am pretty well versed in the latest Lindey Lohan and Hilary Duff, Cheetah Girls and Raven, Jesse McCartney and Aaron Carter :roll:

I have to say, I do like that new song "1985" - can't remember the artists though. Even though I was more of the "1990" era - Metallica, Poison, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Guns N' Roses... I can still relate :lol: I never got the whole "grunge" Nirvana thing, and I still can't get over hearing my music on "Classic rock" stations nowadays :? *sigh*

{hugs}

"Well, I am one of those people who believes that life without music would be a mistake."

I totally agree with your statement Jim !! I'm a big fan of music myself. Unfortunately, I don't have quite the collection you do. :wink:

I like too many bands/singers to count and they are all over the board from Led Zepplin to Enya to Motley Crue to Kenny Loggins! My favs are:

Journey (with Steve Perry) - "Hello, my name is Sue and I'm addicted to the music of Steve Perry and Journey!" :lol: Yes, I'm a dork, but ya gotta admit Steve Perry has the voice of an angel ! (ok, maybe that's just me :lol: )

Led Zepplin - I LOVE Robert Plant and got the chance to see him solo a couple of years ago - it was the best concert I've been to in a long time.

and there's something about Kenny Loggins CD "Live from the Redwoods" that can put me in a good mood no matter how bad I feel. Anytime I've had a bad day, I listen to that CD and I'm instantly feeling better !

The last CD I, um, er "bought" was The Who at the Shoreline in Mountain View, CA. I went to the concert and they recorded the concert and sold the CD. The friends I went with made me a copy of the one they bought. :wink:

Great thread! I love to hear what people are listening to.

Sue

[Jimbolini1963]

Hi again!

Sue: I am actually a huge Journey fan....I saw the Steve Perry-led band in concert on Saturday, June 4, 1983 at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia during the "Frontiers" tour, and have the out-of-print VHS video of "Frontiers and Beyond", the documentary of that tour with footage from that show. I've seen the Steve Augeri-led Journey twice. I think I have all the Journey cds except the two-cd "Essential Journey". Also a few bootlegs including concerts in 1978 from Philly when Perry had just joined the band; and from Houston 1981.

I tend to buy cds in bunches. The last four that I ordered and paid for were from BMG Music Service and included Jamie Cullum: Twentysomething; Harry Connick Jr: Only You; Frank Sinatra: Young Blue Eyes--Birth of the Crooner Frank Sinatra with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra; and jazz guitarist Peter White: Confidential.

Listening now to Elvis Presley: 30 #1 Hits. Coming up: The Pretenders: Last of the Independents; The Pretenders: The Pretenders; The Pretenders: Viva El Amor!; Tito Puente: The Best of the Concord Years (2 cds).

Jim
