What kind of music do you enjoy? I think this thread could be a spot to discover new artists. rediscover old favorites and just talk about what music means in your life.
Maybe it can also be a way to trade CDs with other farmgirls
Make Farmgirls aware of the music you are making or just chat about favorite artists.
Heard a new CD by your fave that you want other farmgirls to know about?? This is the place.

Okay, since I opened this can of worms, I'll start.
I have recently rediscovered Country music. I have always been a fan of Willie, Waylon, Johnny Cash and I may be Kris Kristofferson's biggest fan and I play these guys constantly.
Lately, though, I haave started to enjoy some newer, to me anyways, artists.
Loving Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton and Lady Antebellum. I love to sing and these artists are creating wonderful tunes that I can sing along to.
My dream is to one day have enough guts (or enough alcohol) to sing a really good country song at a Karaoke bar.
I grew up listening to country at home as a kid but somehow got away from it. I'm back and can't get enough

I like country music, pop music, classical music; almost all forms of music. Lady Antebellum is coming out with really nice songs. I love how their voices blend. Yesterday, I heard an old country song by Merle Haggard, "Silver Wings". Now that is beautiful!!!

I saw Merle years ago. He can sing! I'm not paying $300. for a ticket. I'll just listen to his CDs or online.

I love the music I grew up with which was country from my dad and rock from my mom. So everything from the Eagles to Reba from Chicago to Hank Williams Sr and Hank Williams Jr. and so on. lol I do like the 50's and 60's music scene along with show tunes too.
hugs,

I love Celtic music and Native American music (especially flute). I find it earthy and relaxing and peaceful. I also like Coldplay, the Pretenders, Phil Keaggy (Christian music artist)...I guess my tastes are eclectic. I also tend to gravitate towards musicians who write their own music.

Michele- Having grown up in rural Wyoming, Country was about all we got on the radio so I usually shunned it (contrary nature I suppose!) but I do like listening to it now- sometimes. Sometimes it can get to be too much and I switch back to K Love or a contemporary station. But some of the new songs are really good!! My sisters and I can sing a mean version of "I've got friends in low places" by Garth Brooks. Kareoke would be fun!
Prariehawk- I love those as well too! Especially Celtic music. I think you and I have very simialar tastes! My cd chest has everything from Eve 6 to Evanescence, to Colplay, Finger Eleven, to Libera (boys choir- AMAZING!) to classical to even some (select) rap! I guess I just love anything that has a beat to guide my feet and a melody that speaks to me. We have so many emotions as human beings- why limit yourself to one type of music, right?
Some of you know we recently bought a piano- I am so looking forward to having it tuned. My husband is dying for real lessons so I think I am going to buy him some for Father's day! :)

I'm like you girls, I like just about all mucic. Old Country, classical, rock, pop, Adele is really good, christian.
I don't care much for rap or opera, I think that is about all I don't really care for.
The new country is for the younger people I guess, I'm just not to into it.

I think my husband is in love with Adele. Her voice is very rich. Many times current artists use something called "Auto Tune" that runs their voice through a tone correctional program to make it sound perfectly on pitch. If they are really off base then it can come out sounding a bit synthsized. I think Adele sings well in her own merit without having to use a vocal aid like AutoTune.

I totally agree with that, Alee. She is true singer.

While I do love old country, like Waylon, Merle and Willie, I can't seem to listen to the new stuff. When Dwight Yoakum and Patty Loveless fell out of favor in the Nashville set, I lost interest, too.
On any given day you can find me listening to: Wilco, British folk/political singer Billy Bragg, U2, Patty Griffin, Ray Lamontagne, Ryan Adams, The Band, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gay, Tom Petty, Gillian Welch, The Rolling Stones, and just for good measure, Loudin Wainwright, Kate McGarrigle, Teddy Thompson, Richard Thompson, Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel. My husband is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. Fell in love with watching him perform before I even remotely liked "him" ;)
Obviously, folk and roots music really has a foothold in the way I lean :) I'd consider myself an activist, so this music appeals to me on many levels.

I think it would be easier for me to say what I don't care for - RAP and stuff like John5 and Marilyn Manson. I can listen to just about everything else.
The other night my son was having a bad time and asked if he could sleep in my bed. I asked he wanted the radio on and he said yes so we started out listening to popular music. He looked at me and said "Mommy, I think we need to find some classical music." I was floored.

Classical music soothes my soul. I absolutely love it. Rap, not so much. I love country music and the older pop music.
