I do, too, Jean! Feel that way about fiction and the classification by genre. Good fiction knows no genre, same with good movies.

Crossing boundaries... how we all progress. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, fusion music anyone?
Just as it sounds - blend of different styles. Look in Wikipedia. Hey your photo has changed in the last few minutes Aaron. Are you the same guy? :D
I know. I have fusion CD's home. I was pulling your leg.
I put a new pic up, yes. What do you mean, am I the same guy? :)

hello kuya(meaning brother) Aaron :) thanks..
Your pics look different -Gotcha back Aaron!! ;)
I like listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller during Halloween. You hear that creepy rap that Vincent Price does at the end too. the music video for that was great.

It was amazing, we had never seen anything quite like it before - everyone was talking about it!
awesome Shirley! I was born in 1987 so I was like 10 when I saw that music video late night on either VH1 or MTV. they usually played it on or around Halloween.
Jean wrote: "Anyone else here like Adiemus?"I love Karl Jenkins. I saw him in Cardiff last year, really amazing. Adiemus is such an interesting sound.
What's he doing now Denise? Still Adiemus or back to the classical?
I listened to mostly a little of everything. A few are dubstep, trap, rock, classic rock, country just to name a few.
Jean wrote: "What's he doing now Denise? Still Adiemus or back to the classical?"When I saw him, he was just about to bring out "Peacemakers" which was less catchy than his other music, but still pretty. Now, I believe he is touring with his Adiemus.
Off to see the fantastic Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in Manchester on Wednesday! Last gig of the year for me.

Did you know that you can vote for who gets picked for the rock and roll hall of fame this year for 2014? The nominees this year is Hall & oates, kiss, Yes, Deep purple, Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, and some others but they are letting fans take a poll for who gets in. go here to vote. http://www.rockhall.com/get-involved/... . I voted for Hall & oates because I like their music with some others.
I'm a lover of alternative rock/punk rock. But I also adore tv/movie soundtracks. They make life so much more awesome when listening to the big tracks of Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who!
cool Holly. Movie soundtracks rock too! ^_^
Holly wrote: "I'm a lover of alternative rock/punk rock. But I also adore tv/movie soundtracks. They make life so much more awesome when listening to the big tracks of Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who!"When I think soundtracks, I tend to think of either
a) 1930's musicals like Top Hat or
b) movies like The Big Chill or Pulp Fiction
btw, my favorite version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is by Christian artist Erica Lane. It is a very pretty song and I love to listen to it on my mp3 player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvcBqp...
I always tend to have music in when I read. I'm into all sorts really. I suppose I listen to these the most.Angus And Julia Stone
Ludovico Einaudi
The Civil Wars
Biffy Clyro
REM
Natalie Merchant:/10.000 Maniacs
Imagine Dragons
Of Monsters And Men
The Decemberists
Jimmy Eat Workd
Live
Counting Crows
And much more
I love soft rock and ballads, especially those from the 60s and 70s.I have a Youtube channel where I share my favorite songs and my own video uploads:-
https://www.youtube.com/user/poonwaihan
You may find something you like there :)
My favourite would be Ilse de Lange. I have all her albums and been to one of her concerts. She actually participated in the Eurovision Songcontest last saterday (together with Waylon, as The Common Linnets) and they were 2nd!So the rest of Europe agrees I have great taste ;)!!
That's so cool Alice :-). Lots of classics there. I see you have Nilssons Without You there. The song was written by Peter Hamm of Badfinger. He was from Swansea and I think died very young in 1975. I'm pretty sure there's a video of Badfinger on Youtube. My Canadian brother in law used to live out in Bernaby? When he worked for EA (originally Toronto) but now he's working for Microsoft in Bellevue.
@Elsberh I thought the Dutch entry was very country sounding. It'll probably do well in the Southern States of America. I didn't mind it. :-)

Nilsson had such a tragic life (sigh)!
Jamie wrote: "@Elsberh I thought the Dutch entry was very country sounding. It'll probably do well in the Southern States of America. I didn't mind it. :-)"Yes, I like country. But Ilse de Lange also sings other styles, like rock. I think she has a wonderful voice!
I also like Enya, Clannad, Peter Gabriel and lots of others.
@Elsbeth I think Clannad's In A Lifetime with Bono is one of my favourite songs of all time. When the Tv series Robin Hood started in 1980''s my mother went Clannad crazy :-)

Thanks, Alice, you have some good heart-breakers and love songs there.

Thank you, Bette. Glad you've found songs you like! This channel is my best companion, aside from books!
My parents were classical music/opera buffs and I grew up listening to people like Mario Lanza, Enrico Caruso and Gigli.But I also had older sisters so heard lots of the 60s music. And who can forget all the power-ballads of the 70s and 80s. So basically I can listen to all kinds of music except rap and hip-hop.
I don't watch tv and have my ipod on speaker all day long. If you're walking along the beach and hear La Boheme booming from a house - come on in, it's my house:)

I have your channel on speaker now:)
do you guys like Airsupply? that's my mom's fave band and we listen to it almost all the time with hall and oates and stuff.
Hall And Oates is pretty cool Amber :-)Didn't Air Supply sing All Out Of Love? You have me singing 'I Can't Go For That' now which isn't a bad thing as you can't hear my voice!
Air Supply is one of my favorite groups! The first-ever live concert that I ever went to was an Air Supply concert in Hong Kong! My favorite songs by them are "Two Less Lonely People in the World" and "The One That You Love" :)
I love two less lonely people in the world too with making love out of nothing at all.
Can't wait for new Kasabian album out in few weeks!
Two Steps From Hell and Vivaldi are my favourites. ;)
I like to listen to classic hard rock and heavy metal music, pop and folk music, and because I do theatre musicals. Not a big fan of today's music.

Here's the link to different playlists on my channel:-

Delving into the LP collection I have inherited when my family home was sold last year, I found:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2xODj...
It pays to have much older siblings; you get all their music too.

Very nice song with strong female vocal - I've added it to my favorite list. Must admit I've never heard of this group before. Thanks for sharing it, Bette!
Do you also like "Steeleye Span" Bette?
Bette BookAddict wrote: "Delving into the LP collection I have inherited when my family was sold last year..."I had to read this comment a few times because at first I thought you were saying that your family had been sold (as into slavery)!
I do like Fairport Convention, thanks for the link!
Jean wrote: "Do you also like "Steeleye Span" Bette?"Oh yes, have 2 LPs from my sister's collection; transferred to cd now.

Thanks, Leslie, forgot the word 'home'.:P
Bette - let me know if you'd like some recommendations; we have at least a dozen of theirs. The "feel" was very different after Maddy Prior left - they became almost completely instrumental for a while.
