Thank you for that - clicked it, allowed 'Active X' to install itself
and listened to about 5 seconds of crap (Commodores - Still it said)!


Hideous.


You actually expect to like every single record a radio station plays?




OK, in the interests of fair play and evenhandedness, I clicked again
and just heard:


Whitney Howard
Leona Lewis
Percy Sledge


(???)


Does that mean you've never heard of them?

In what way was my original assessment anything other than bang on the
money?


I didn't realise you had such narrow tastes in music.

Seemed pretty obvious to me actually !

I dare say he'd hate it if his heartbeat increased even a little bit. I'm sure
he likes nicely sterile music. Nothing that might make the blood flow a little
faster.

Bothers me (not really) when I see this sort of remark - too silly for
words.

What is 'sterile music'??

What music makes the blood flow faster?? (Whitney Houston?)

The stuff that *doesn't* send tingles down your spine. I will happily accept
that *some* orchestral music may do that when played just right.

Have you really never had that tingle run down your spine ? It's AWESOME.

If you need to ask ..... !!! Phew ! You're not REALLY into MUSIC are you ? I
imagine it's some kind of academic interest for you. It probably doesn't move
your soul at all.

And NO (NOT Whitney Houston) as it happens.

Now go listen to some Sisters and abandon your preconceptions.

Oh yes!.. a few times at the Proms this year)....


Yes, I can imagine that.

What really rocks my boat is when I get that effect at my local music pub. It's
'wicked' having such an excellent source of music so nearby. I can particularly
recall an excellent Pink Floyd tribute band having that effect on me. Bands who
play U2's music also tend to get the blood flowing nicely.

Needless to say I'm 'involved' with the venue in question. I look after the
technical concerns and occasionally still mix some bands too.

That's a few million people just breathed a massive, collective sigh of
relief then....

Errrr.. so you're the one who won't accept new musical ideas ?

As I suspected, you're stuck in some kind of 'time warp' where only one style of
music is seen as 'acceptable'.

Islamists would be proud of you. They're great believers in (musical) orthodoxy
too. To the extent of even banning it entirely lest it cause one to feel
anything !

I notice your failure to respond to the links I posted - the 'time warp'
some of the stuff I like lives in includes *today*. Try these clips:

Might be more your sort of thing (it's my latest CD) note the
*musicianship*, once again...

(All been posted here before - if you yapped less and read more, you might
have seen some of it....)

Whitney Houston I have (don't know where 'Howard' came from), the others -
no....

You will struggle to find anyone with broader tastes in *music* than mine,
but I draw the line at that sort of dreck; no wonder you (and those like
you) are so fond of CDs - you listen to the rubbish that only came out on
CD!
