right i have EVERLAST's new cd in my portable. if you like acoustic rap, he's your man.
I am listening to the Gretchen Wilson CD "Here For The Party" It is pretty good.
Neil Diamond's "Love On The Rocks" from a downloaded file on my PC.
My music tastes run a wide spectrum....jazz/blues/70's and 80's rock (the 80's wasn't a great decade in my book), metal, a wee rare bit of alternative. From ABBA to ZZTop...notice C & W isn't really didn't make the cut here.
I'm NOT into the teen music flavor of the week, Britney or those 'pop'/American Idol "bands". They can board the same rocket w/ Alternative and Rap bands for a one way trip to Mars.
Grunge/Alternative is merely that: Altered--and I might add--talentless attempts at rock and roll. Record label
A & R guys all got coked and decided "Hey...why not find the most talentless 'bands', sign them up and let them ride out a week?? Hey--the stoned out kids today won't give a... "...well--you get the picture.
Alt bands try so hard to sound "unique" but in the end--they all wind up sounding the same. Interesting how that happens--and sad too. You know the cycle: "Alternative to Rock N' Roll...so what is it? Alternative? No...I mean: what's the music GENRE?? Sighhhh....I just told you: Alternative!!" And so the cycle goes.
Rock isn't dead--but it's sure taking a severe beatin'!!!

Hi Wingnut, 
Well, where do I start..........?..... I seem to have similar
tastes to you....jazz/blues/70's and 80's rock ......but,
reading your post, it sounded like my dad when I first
started listening to the Stones...... `bl**dy noise !`
I`m in my fifties now and looking back on the music scene
over the last five decades, I think I was born at the perfect
time as far as music goes. In at the birth of great bands
like (in America).... Grateful dead, Jefferson airplane,
Beautiful day, etc and (in UK)..Beatles,
Stones,Yardbirds..... and it was all fresh and new. Never
been done before........ There are only so many chords to
choose from and sure, certain riffs crop up time and time
again, but now and then, along comes a band that has that
something unique in their sound, (even though they`re playing
similar chords to another song).
I keep up with modern releases because I run a Disco and
some of the `alternative` rock bands get requested from time
to time.... and SOME of it is great.... not just the
alternative rock, either....... I agree with you, most rap
has a capital `C` in front of it, but you`ve got to
appreciate Eminem, if only for breaking the mould of `black
rapping`. some of his songs are inspired.... and to get back
to rock for a minute... Razorlight are a top band, along with
Evanescence, Franz ferdinand, Nickleback and others.It really
depends on what you are looking for. Personally, I like to
hear new stuff that is a progression from the `old stuff`.
You can only progress by being open.
Even other genres I don`t really listen to, have their good
points.`Dance` music didn`t do it for me until I went into
the `dance tent` at T in the park.... and I was hooked !!
A lot of it was `samey`, but some of it was.. hmmmm...Moving.
Again, Hip-hop is not really my cup of tea, but there`ve been
one or two tracks that have had me `moving on the spot`.
Missy Eliot comes to mind...........
Even C&W has its good tracks. Got a great `Dance`version of
Dolly Parton doing 9 to 5 (& stairway to heaven ).
A great man once said `for those that have ears... let them
hear`

Hi Angus..."the days that were" is close. My Gaelic is not just rusty, it's totally corroded.
In the context of the song, it's preceeded by 'Slan' (with a fada over the 'a') which means 'Goodbye'.
Gaelic lyrics and translation here.
What am I listening to? U2's 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb'. Continually. I wasn't really a U2 fan until I listened to this.

Wagner, overture to Tristan & Isolda.

I am listening online country music from WMFW http://www.wfmw.net/ListenLive.html (now playing "stand by your man")
Normally, I hear RTL Paris online... http://cache.yacast.fr/V4/rtl/rtl_main_V4.htm?id=rtl
I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra last year at this time. Unbelievable concert!!. Laser lights, pyrotechnics, snow, flame throwers, and much more - - - all inside the arena! And it was all synchronized perfectly with the music.
BTW, Chris. If you want some really different music, with Celtic, Bluegrass, Classic Country, Big Band, Polka, International, Jazz and more, check out WOBO-FM. It's a small, totally volunteer operated station that exists on donations from the listeners, with all music provided by the volunteers. The only paid employee that the station has is the engineer, and he's part-time. As they put it, it's the "Station with Something for Everyone."

Thanks Jim, nice online stereo radio (added to my favs)
Didn't figure that there was a city named "Batavia" in Ohio

It sure would be nice to see 'Trans Siberian Orchestra' It looks like it would be very fascinating.
Also listening to WOBO

You're both welcome. Batavia is about 30 miles SSE of me. My favorite music is the Bluegrass, and Chris Kelly's program on Saturday morning is the best. LinuxSam is an avid listener of the station, too, especially Patty Shannon Clark's Sunday evening Celtic program.
Like the old days of live TV, you'll often hear 'goofs' during the shows. Since most of the DJs aren't pros, they sometimes have a little problem with the equipment. But, you have to admire their dedication and willingness to provide us with some uniquely different programming. Heinz Probst is from Germany, and I believe he is one of the original broadcasters with the station, having been there from the station's beginning.
Cities in Ohio? We've even got towns named Moscow, Paris, Dublin, Dover, Sidney, Salem, Oxford, Holland, Cairo, London, Manchester, Newark, Yorkshire, Alamo, Rome, Ottawa, Orient, Montezuma, Geneva, Macedonia, Lebanon and Lima. It's like travelling the world without ever leaving the state.
Sorry, Chris, no Jacareí, Santa Isabel, or Igaratá in Ohio.

I listen to Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Steve Miller Band, Led Zepplin, The Eagles, and other classic rock bands. Right now I'm listening to All along the watch tower by Jimi Hendrix
I got the Trans-Siberian orchestra dancing lights with this: http://members.cox.net/transam57/lights.wmv
In my search to find the name of the music, I googled the orchestra name and found out the band actually performed here on a tour a year or so ago. I missed it! Maybe now I know what great stuff they do, they'll come back. Won't miss the next one!
Chevy Chase would be green with envy if he saw this house with the rockin', perfectly synchronized, dancing lights!

I've been listening to the TV (Sci-Fi channel) playing old B&W "Twilight Zone" episodes. Haven't been watching, but listening. 
Boy!! that brings back memories Jim.
Here it is a day later and they are still running Twilight Zone. It's a marathon for the entire weekend, over at 6AM Monday morning.

I love Celtic. My Celtic folder is 5,412.4 megs at the moment, with 1785 tunes, just a small part of a collection that's 63,603.8 megs and 17,629 tunes.
That's ..... quite a lot of music you've got there, Jim.
I recently purchased this little device ... quite nifty!
Curently I've got An Saighdiuir Treighthe by The Duggans going round in my head. Great album. Got someone called Grania on another forum to thank for pointing me to that album!

For the last week or so, I've been waking up with the song An Saighdiur Treighthe on my mind. A lovely, lively, yet gentle song by The Duggans on their album Rubicon.
One or two of you might be wondering if I've worn that album out yet ... clearly not the song is on my brain even as I post this.
Just checking back through this thread I now realise I reported the very same song during Feb ... I did have a couple of weeks off from the song, honest!
