music to my ears......

Happy Thursday!!

Well, today I will talk about music. There is good music, and bad music. Good performers and bad ones. I will be giving my opinion of all that's bad in music. Remember, it's a free country and I am entitled to my opinion just as you are yours.

Performers I am allergic to:
1. Celine Dion- I literally feel like I am hearing nails on a chalk board- really.
2. Reba McEntire- Twangy twang twang. And the fake accent drives me insane.
3. Boy George- Do you really want to hurt me with your so called music?
4. Kenny Rogers- the best thing he's ever done is chicken.
5. Cher- It's not her voice people enjoy it's the costumes
6. Victoria Principle- Remember the duet with Andy Gibb? If not, consider yourself lucky.
7. Henry Rollins- He is extremely intellegent and his lyrics are proof. However, his music is so angry and full of aggression it scares me.
8. Bjork- This is the chick who wore the swan dress to the academy awards. She sings as well as she dresses.
9. Kathy Lee Gifford- I can't get passed the fact that she was the La La girl on Name That Tune back in the 70's. She was also the voice of Carnival Cruise Lines for years.
10. Boy bands, cheesy girl singers who leave little to the imagination and the like- This is a broad one and quite frankly I don't even want to go there.
11. Air Supply

Songs that I will not tolerate listening to:
1. Anything from the soundtracks Grease or Footloose. Listening to that rubbish would not be almost paradise.
2. American Pie by Don McClain. I remember being in 1st or 2nd grade and Elizabeth Backus singing it on the playground. I fell off the trapeze and landed on my head that day.
3. Everything I do (theme song from Robin Hood). This song was song at my brother Mike's wedding and the singer did not fare well. I shiver just thinking about it.
4. If I could turn back time- by Cher. Whoaaaa ,I can't handle that one
5. Leader of the Pack- I don't know who sings it but I dislike it immensely
6. Convoy- C.W. McCall- the 70's at it's worst.
7. Memories by Barbra Streisand- I actually like some of her stuff with Maurice Gibb.
8. Island In The Stream. A duet by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. 1983 at it's worse
9. Breakfast at Tiffany's - Again, I don't know who sings it but I loath it. If you want Breakfast at Tiffany's read the book.
10.Memories from the Broadway musical, CATS--- Put me out of my misery, PLEASE!!
11. Morning Train by Sheena Easton. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Well, there you have it. If I have offended you please don't take it personally. We all have different tastes in music and that's a good thing.

Speaking of good things. Here are a couple of songs I have recently downloaded to my ipod. Check them at at itunes.

Whatever You're Doing- By Sanctus Real- If you love Jesus you'll like this song.
Voices Carry- Til Tuesday- Punk- Rock- Broken- Hearted- Love- Song
I'll Be You- The Replacements- Post- punk tune from '88'! Great to walk to.

Have a great day and Rock On my friend.
