Music,Beats, Chords ... Life

Music, ok i love music, fine you say am an african music is in our make up
singing and dancing are part of every activity, from celebrated to banal
No this is different, I love music and it dont matter what kind (apart from country, well most of it), Nothing else can take you on such a journey, take you to the past, qualify the present, glimpse the future. I hear songs from waaay back and i am back there
in the car rolling with my boys
at that party plucking up the courage to ask her to dance
shedding those tears

I listen to all sorts
I know every third person would probably claim eclectic tastes but mine is by no means standard
Metal/metallica nothing else revs up the blood quite the same way, sometimes u just gotta feed the anger
Hip hop hell i still remember raps from '92, cant remember much else :-)
Good ole soul marvin, d'angelo, babyface i thank you for being the start and expression of a number of my relationships
Pop - well not all pop is bad we all danced to billie jean, and what else you gonna dance to during weddings
rock - ok now many may slate nickelback but cmon you gotta admit a lil head nodding to u remind me
"world music" ...african, arabic, french cheapest form of travel i know
Country ... dude its a public site , even i wont admit to that
Music my motivator, consoler, lover, friend
ps special mention must go to the stereophonics i am loving their stuff on Language Sex Violence Other? just might buy the album
oh and NERD for genre bending sonic mashes

So think about what music/artists are on your lists

i feel you. i love all sorts of music too, including a lot of stuff in languages i don't even recognise. i reckon music is one of the greatest gifts given to man.

i have to echo akin though, country music is really good. i like tim mcgraw and alan jackson, and garth brooks is certainly one of the greatest musicians of the country genre for good reason.

do you ever listen to acoustic rock? now, thats the bomb!!

peace
