This is a good example of what listen to.

However, I am very eclectic in my taste, so I do like bluegrass, oldies, some country...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdRdqp4N3Jw for some good bluegrass....(this movie clips are from "O brother where art thou" an interesting movie actually based on the Odyssey...complete with sirens and cyclops) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIKz1phnuCc

but I do like some classic rock as well...Boston, Journey, America...

Thanks for the Goo Goo Dolls tune Danny. One of those tunes I'd completely forgotten about but love.

Kris Kristofferson, I think he may be one of the greatest song writers of all time. He's also a fantastic guitar player, he gets across so much with so little, from a technical pov.

Inspired by Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath

Here Comes That Rainbow:

A really simple song which really tugs at the heart.

For pure enthusiasm Biz Markie performing Elton John's Benny and the Jets just makes me smile everytime:

One of those people, along with Ian Dury and many others, who prove to me that you don't need to be good at signing to be a great signer.

Can we get a youtube video integrator thingy for the forum?

[DannyM]

Yeah I have somehow never been able to forget about Iris, Pro. I think it is an amazing song.

That KK song Here Comes That Rainbow was really nice, never heard that before. Lord knows what that other one was all about... I did laugh though

Wow Zoe, Vivaldi if you please!

[zoegirl]

yeah, he has to be one of my fav's...

You know, he was a priest (known as the red priest for his red hair) who helped run a girls orphanage and he conducted an all girls orchestra...

Wow Zoe, Vivaldi if you please!

this has always been my all time favorite piece by him...I think it was one of the first ones I listened to and fell in love with...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa8L2C9W ... re=related (it starts off slow and the 3rd movement starts at 3:35) the third movement is the best...

for the first movement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9nfA-k- ... re=related

I've long been a fan of Johnathan Richman but only a few months ago came across this tune. It's an oldie, I've heard a few versions over the years but nothing comes close to a young Johnathan singing it for me. Can't find it on youtube but click the play icon on the top left of this site and hopefully enjoy it even a tiny bit as much as I do.

He also wrote one, if not the one, of my favourite love songs ever, Important In Your Life:

If you've never heard of him he achieved a little fame with the song Egyptian Reggae and was the guy who kept popping up singing, occasionaly with a guitar, in There's Something About Mary
