I loved him, too, Sirchin!
Don't know who my all-time fav is, tho. I gotta think about it.

I love anything disco! And traditional music from different countries, I love it! Pretty much anything once it's not rap or R&B, don't even start me on it!
What pisses me off with the music at the moment is that all the women who are releasing singles all sound like Beyonce or whatever, and all they sing about is how their boyfriends cheated on them, or how they cheated on their boyfriends, or how they can get your boyfriend bla bla bla - it's so boring! And in the men's r&b videos, all they do is go 'Yeah! Uh! Yeah!' and wave their hands while sluts in bikinis do pole dancing beside them! It's awful!
However, I've been in stitches the last hour just watching this video - Spain's entry to the Eurovision - I think they should have won, it cracks me up!

There are so many male singers that I have loved over the years and fewer females, but I love Bonnie Raitt and Alison Krauss. They're my fav ladies!

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, been my favorite since I was young.
I like a lot of singers, but Tyler is still my favorite.

It all depends on my mood. If I'm feeling a little melancholoy, I like Elton John. I've always been a huge Grateful Dead fan. Lots of Classic Rock. I like new stuff, too. The list goes on and on.

1hour, Did you put grilled cheese as your choice of the first meal you'd want if an O6?
And did you wear the cotton tie-dyed dress and dance with your hands gently flowing above you head? Please say yes, so this picture in my head isn't for not.
Quick Draw

I agree with most of the names listed so far. Esp. Steven Tyler, Bono, Lenin and Garcia. But I think my personal top two are Bob Dylan (and yes I do mean as a singer not just a song writer and Tupac (I know it just rap but I like the deeper stuff).
Since the topic is music I'll throw this out there it's a pretty funny video.

OMG!!!! I am laughing so hard right now!!! I JUST left that thread and came VERY close to posting that I'd have to make myself a grilled cheese when I got home from the island!!!!!:D I SWEAR!!!!! Hahahahaha!!!!!!:cool:(I really do make the BEST!!!)
As for the rest.....well, I did wear lots of tie-dyed dresses and long skirts but I wasn't a "spinner". The spinners were the people who were able to totally spin around in a small circle for HOURS!!!!!! They were fascinating to me......I'd for sure fall over at some point!!:D But I did dance my ass off!!!!

My ringtone is "Ripple." I play all the Dead Songs on the piano, too. My favorite ones to play are "Brokedown Palace" and "Uncle John's Band." Those songs really rip on the piano.

It's soooo worth it!! You will LOVE it......and eventually you will add it to the car (if you don't have it in there yet!) Once you have an acct, you can add other receivers for like $6......PLUS, you can log on and listen thru the computer too....that's what I do at work!!!;)

I haven't even heard that she had something new out. I'll have to go to itunes and have a listen. In the meantime, I'll have to bring out some of the old stuff...I'm getting nostalgic now.
