Ductor - I\'m a romantic - I love all that slow, cuddling time music. Doesn\'t matter if it\'s Rock, Country, R&B, Jazz...as long as it\'s slow.

My all time favorite is a Jazzy black male vocalist that was introduced in Europe by the name of GARY TAYLOR... ROMANCE at its finest!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] LOVE DANCE and MOOD OF MIDNIGHT are his top two CDs, and VERY HIGHLY recommended. He has about five out, and every last one of them are filled with romantic melodies. My favorite mix - Put him and SADE together, and somebody\'s going to get nibbled upon [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] OUTSTANDING!!!!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Well, I couldn\'t just stop at 5 albums, here are 5 classic singles to go along with them:

Layla - Derrick & the Dominos
Dolly Dagger - Jimi Hendrix
I Am the Walrus - The Beatles
Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
Let\'s Get It On - Marvin Gaye

Great technical achievements and world popularity in these songs...

[a.k.a.]

Just five? I can think of at least 50 albums/cd’s that belong in everybody’s collection.
Whitehall and justhuge have already mentioned three of them. Here’s five more:

Giant Steps - John Coltrane
Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Bitches Brew - Miles Davis
London Calling - The Clash
Riddim Warfare - DJ Spooky

[Whitehall]

I would have mentioned Jimmy Hendrix but couldn\'t quite bump off Beethoven - at least publicly.

\"The Wind Whispers \'Mary\'\" is a fave along with \"All Along the Watchtowers\" and so forth and so on....

And who can forget a Grateful Dead concert!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

A.K.A. - Man, you beat me - That album by Dylan was going in my next posting!!! You have good taste...

When your talking music, we can all go on and on. Why stop at 50?

[a.k.a.]

Beethoven’s 9th rocks. I’ll take “Ode to Joy” over “Wind Cries Mary”. (Even though “Electric Ladyland” absolutely belongs on the top 50.) I would have bumped “Route 66” for Schuman’s “Piano Concerto in A Minor”.

Justhuge, I know what you mean. There is sooooo much good music out there you don’t know when to stop. (Great singles list, by the way.)

[sophie]

Am I the only one that likes U2? Any classic Led Zeppelin is good....my all time favorite, if I have to pick *one*, is Automatic for the People, REM, just about wore it out. Dixie Chicks (and I\'m not a big country fan either)....Delta blues and bluegrass, even gospel if it\'s good and southern and sincere. I really like everything, music is so universal.

[EXIT63]

Heidi 65 is the big U2 fan. But we haven\'t heard from her in ages.

[Watcher]

Ok my favourite 5 songs of all time.

Jump for Joy - 2 Unlimited
Get ready for this - 2 Unlimited
No limit - 2 Unlimited
Real things - 2 Unlimited
This is reality - Anita Doth

Hey i love U2 as well they make great music just got this thing for old school fast beat techno/dance/R and B

Real Mccoy and La Bouche were also high on my lists.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I second votes for Led Zeppelin and Motown and Pink Floyd, absolutely, and I love the Dixie Chicks.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

OK Red - Don\'t leave out the Bangles, The Go-Gos, & The B-52s

[Watcher]

Bit early for me anyway.

Any of those recent enough?

Ash
Feeder

[Watcher]

Silverchair.
Killing heidi.
2 Unlimited again.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Not like -- love -- adore. Radiohead is god. Coldplay\'s right up there in the pantheon, too. But Radiohead is god. And I always loved Nirvana, too, although it\'s not fashionable to love Nirvana around here. (Buncha suits with their taste all in their mouths...) lolYou younger ones probably don\'t even know who this is, and the older ones might throw rocks at me, but I admit to being a complete Joni Mitchell fan from album one, which I bought with babysitting money when I was in the 7th grade. She\'s been a big influence on other girl singers I like a lot, e.g. Shawn Colvin, one among many others.

[sophie]

I won\'t argue about Joni Mitchell!!! I had one of her albums (vinyl, the one with the Circle Game on it, can\'t remember the album name, Ladies of the Canyon? though I still have it somewhere around here) and played it all the time in my first apartment (late 70\'s). Always loved Morning Morgantown too. In seventh grade I had Carole King\'s Tapestry though, with my babysitting money. Funny to think about it being 30 years ago, isn\'t it?

I almost forgot Todd Rundgren, did anyone besides me ever listen to him? In high school, we thought he was so cool, \"A Wizard a True Star\" and \"Something Anything.\"

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Hey, Sophie! -- \"Blue\" is my favorite JM -- I wore out the album, got it on tape, wore out the cassette tape, got it on CD, am on my second CD copy. I\'ll still be listening to it when I\'m 90. \"A Case of You\" - I never get tired of that track and others. Always loved Ladies of the Canyon, though, too - Michael From Mountains was on it, I think, and Night in the City -- Hejira was a great album -- she just always seemed to say what I needed to hear said. I\'ve outgrown her a little but not by much, still.

I never was into Todd Rundgren but there\'s still time. I\'ll check him out.

I can\'t even grasp that it was that long ago. I looked up one day and I was 45. Where did the time go? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] In my high school we were into Chicago (because our band had a good brass section) and Led Zeppelin, mostly -- some Floyd.
