There was actually alot of really good music in the 80's, but it wasn't mainstream, it was all "Left of the dial"....

It is going to be a highly entertaining 8 years for everyone! My parents, who were both born in the 1920s, used to laugh at a particular character on newsreels who talked funny and made wild gyrations in front of the camera. This character was also Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" in 1938. They found out later it was no laughing matter. |

Different songs for different occasions, but there are certain songs that get me chair dancin'
- Stevie Wonder "Superstitious"
- Macklemore "Thrift Shop"
- Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars "Uptown Funk"
- Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling
Anything Missy Elliott or Pharrell Williams, and even "Blurred Lines" by that douchy Robin Thicke.

foxalo , a ha! Another Mozart and Beethoven lover - now I know I'm not alone! I enjoy all of the Nine Symphonies, as well as the Emperor Concerto. Mozart - I could love any of his compositions; they're so lilting and beautiful. Lamebeaver , I had forgotten completely about that song. It was a lively, comical song, light and cheery. On the other end of the scale, the Rolling Stone's rousing Honky Tonk Woman and Can't Get No Satisfaction, as well as most of Credence Clearwater Revival's music appeal to the less classical side of my taste.

The same analogy was made 8 years ago for obama. Bush before that, then Clinton before Bush. It is fashionable trend, the losing party demonizes the winning party. |

Webster's definition of fascism: often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition |

Webster's definition of fascism: The same pejorative was hurled at obama, Bush, Clinton... Actually, with minor tweaking it also fits today's democratic party. Bigotry comes in many forms. |

One of my favorites. Love how every song on the albums sounds different instead of 10'ish versions of the same. Very talented musically. Love Beethoven's chorales (we used them as warmups in high school) and traditional Irish folk songs (Jimmy Murphy and Rocky Road to Dublin are two faves as well as the Chieftains version of Táimse 'im Chodladh) and their Appalachian descendants. And the rather eclectic tastes wouldn't be complete without some Amon Amarth (best on the feral days.) |

Gotta be either "Yesterday" (Beatles) or "Unchainded Melody" (Righteous Brothers). But there are so many it's hard to pin them down. My favorite depends a lot on the mood I'm in.

Time to go out of our American "comfort zone". :^)
"Drugstar", Nicola Sirkis (French band, Indochine) is responsible for this one.
Sirkis is one of the absolutely great pop composers, on a par with Elton John, Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) and George Alan O'Dowd (Boy George). This song has been on my Spotify playlist for more than 8 years now. There are many, many other tracks that "raise the hairs on my neck", but this one stands out as the one that's been a favorite for the longest time. Not "serious music", no, but fun.
and then there's "Adora" by the same guy.
That video was the one projected behind the band during the song while on tour.
The "official video", for those of you who are somewhat "squeamish" about content that is largely acceptable on the continent...
Finally, a really great song and lyric, "Le Vent Nous Portera", by the "somewhat troubled" (he killed his girlfriend in a fit of rage, a crime which is apparently not a felony in France) composer and lead vocalist of Noir Desir, Bertrand Cantat:
Oh, Christ! I forgot Brian Molko's (Placebo) "Meds", a nice video that captures that "Monday Morning" feeling:
Sirkis, again, with "Marilyn" - I shouldn't have started watching this stuff - I can't stop!:

autumnmist I love a lot of classical composers. I grew up in a family that introduced it early. Beethoven's 5th was music to clean by along with some Black Sabbath or Iron Butterfly. I always knew my mom was cleaning when I came home from school and I could hear the music a half block from my house. I'm sure the neighbors loved us. I took a couple music appreciation courses in college. The one was Symphonic Music. We had to pick a composer and write about them and their style. I chose Shostakovich, because I had happened to be a Russian major at the time. It was interesting was you can get from listening to different composers. Russian composers are a different breed altogether. They are best handled in small doses.
