Band growing on me: Franz Ferdinand

Best vocals in rock music - Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears....ABSOLUTELY.

Butt Rock worth buying RIGHT NOW: Journey, Styx, Rush, Def Leppard, Boston (man, I love Def Leppard)

Music I am embarrased to like: Brian McKnight - Anytime; k.d.lang - Constant Craving; Celine Dion - I drove all night; Eiffel 65 - Blue; Steve Winwood - Valerie; Gwen Stefani - Cool; Glen Medeiros - Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You; Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack; Haddaway - What is Love; Amber - Sexual; Michael Jackson - Human Nature...there's a lot more...as you can imagine (insert ZING by numchucks.)

Music on the horizon of really liking - Hard-Fi, Stars, Saves the Day (listen to Hard-Fi - Cash Machine....geez)

The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, 'Is there a meaning to music?' My answer would be, 'Yes.' And 'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?' My answer to that would be, 'No.'
Aaron Copland
US composer (1900 - 1990)

Have you heard Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copland?!? WELL YOU SHOULD!!! (Thanks dad for that one!)

You don't understand Counting Crows?? Its all symbolic, you have to read between the lines. Now he is someone who understands no one understanding you or really knowing who you are even though they think they do. He is someone who looks at things the way they really are not the way they are presented. I will NEVER be embarassed to claim The Counting Crows as my favorite band of all time.

I like Elton John, Nelly Furtado, the Coors, Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stefani - Cool (great song), James Taylor and, of course, The COUNTING CROWS. There's many other bands and songs I like that many don't know about... but I'm trying to quit. (not really)
