| Guess my age from my CD collection and you will guess high. Very high.
Elvis Presley
Frank Sinatra
Dean Martin (incedentally, it is extremely hard to establish a decent fencing tempo when Volare is stuck in your head!)
Sammy Davis Jr.
Miles Davis
Roy Orbison
Buddy Holly's "Brown eyed handsome man"
Monks of Santo Domingo
Charlotte Church
Lakme`
Orff
And occasionally a showtune or two.
I've listened to "my generation's music" and quite frankly, I would rather harken back to yesteryear when each member of a band, including the lead singer, had to be able to actually play well together. More and more I see music is a bunch of individuals doing their own thing while the track gets recorded.
I guess it depends on what you want to get out of music, a visceral versus emotional response.

Ry Cooder

| Faugh! A "pops" performance! ( Or as I like to call 'em, excuses for elderly folks to clap in time with the music. )
It's all about the MUSIC, Cap'n! I want showmanship I'll go see James Brown...  | |

Nusy | Good Charlotte or Linkin [Park, I assume]? Those two aren't exactly similar...you've got distinctively punk rock, and then rap 'n' roll with different musical style and deeper sounds...how do you compare those two? | |

Nirvana | Thank you, afc fencer, for being the first one to mention led zeppelin.
I was starting to get really worried..
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
