Alright now, mamawof, rock on!!! We have some CCR, Eagles, Charlie Daniels, and Aerosmith as well! My brother has a picture sitting with Charlie D, his arm around him- lucky devil!

Um, Hannah Montana?? Isn't that Billy Rae Cyrus's daughter??

I know you must be suffering that for your kids, what a good mom.

Fortunately mine aren't old enough to have their own tastes yet.

used to be in radio.
That's like being in the CIA, the Gambino crime family, or a Catholic. You are NEVER out..just fallen from the true path.
A friend in advertising who's also ex radio hooked me up. They replaced the high school stage down in Lubbock, where Holly had been taught and performed on. They cut it up, burned the name of the high school into the pieces, and sold off the pieces for a fund raiser, and a guy bought the rest and sold them privately.
Got one for my Baby Brother at Christmas, and that was that.
neat, holding a piece of history in your hand.

My recent favorites are:
My Chemical Romance (The Black Parade album)
The Offspring (Greatest Hits album)

... I've also been known to listen to the following:
Celtic Women
Green Day
Megadeth
Disturbed
System of a Down
Collective Soul
Puddle of Mud
Hoobastank
The Beatles
Queen
Mozart (and other classical/baroque music... like Liszt's Danse Macabre... yummy)

... and there are a few songs by the following bands/artists that I enjoy:
Yellowcard
Sum 41
Blur
Bowling for Soup
Candlebox
HIM
GooGooDolls
Lifehouse
Thrice
Petula Clark's "Downtown" also makes me smile... and I don't even like downtown. Ha! =)

My tastes are so varied... mostly rock, but I do like oldies (you can blame my dad for that), and classical/baroque music is so soothing. There are also some techno songs I like... but as far as rap and country go, there are handful of songs I like in that musical genre.

Ah yes, Jadewik, it's good to have varied tastes.

Classical music is definitely soothing, I love it too, but my husband's not too big on it and therefore it's something me and the kids pretty much hear only while he's working.

Cool choices, there! Yep, some country I like too--rap's pretty much the only genre that draws a big ZILCH around here, but hey, it's mighty popular these days!

D*MN, girl, you are COOLNESS!!

I wish I could come hang at your place, listen to some tunes and make some Halloween stuff together or something!

thislazylife · Post by **thislazylife** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 3:27 pm

I'm probably the biggest music geek here. I worked at an indie record store for 11 years, so I have literally thousands of records. I have a few hundred CD's, but my heart belongs to vinyl. I could seriously fill probably 40 milk crates full of vinyl from several genres. Maybe tonight I'll post some pics of my Halloween-related LP collection . . .

Aww Laurie I would love that! Shame about the ocean betwixt us

If you're ever over in England though - you are more than welcome at my humble abode

I love music from every era
