Hhehe I'm not afraid to admit listening to sappy songs from Savage Garden
Good music is good no matter who sings it. Heck, I'll admit that I listen to Britney Spear's Circus which plays all the time on the radio. Even Paris Hilton's Stars Are Blind song is catchy :P
Agreed that Darren Hayes' solo work isn't as good as when he was with Daniel Jones. I think I only remember hearing one of Hayes' songs on the radio and it wasn't that good.

Please help find me some music …
Hi all, I used to go out of my way to find new music and to listen to different genres that may not have been immediately appealing. It may be part of the ‘middle age syndrome’, but insidiously over the last few years I have found myself reaching for the ...
A Perfect Circle, Foo Fighters, Lifehouse, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Shinedown, Tool....
All are mainstream Rock/Metal bands and my favs!!!! And all of their albums so far rocks!!!!
A Perfect Circle and Tool....
Hey, I know Maynard Keynan... interesting guy with some hobbies that would be popular with the TimeOut crowd...He gave me one of his CD's and unfortunately I didn't care for it. I do like James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins. Regards, ED-209
Here are a couple suggestions
I really don't have favorite bands though but here are some I enjoy listening to: Staind (rock band - they are awesome live IMO) Ne-Yo (current hit pop and R*B artist) Linkin Park (rock band - their new album is too tame compared to their early albums IMO...
WOW!!! My friends used to mock me since I liked Staind a lot....
....Aaron Lewis' voice is so good! Their 'Break the Cycle' album is a definitive must have for any rock lover! Depeche Mode is cool too!
Anyone here ever listened to Savage Garden?
Their 1st album was da bomb IMO. Concert was awesome too and probably the only concert I went to where I knew every single song played that night. - AT
"I would fly to the moon and back...."
You must also try and listen to Hoobastank, Crossfade, 3 Doors Down, Breaking Benjamin, Keane, etc....
Another guilty pleasure…
I don’t have any Savage Garden albums at home but know most of their songs from radio play. And there is of course the Australian connection – they were a couple of local Brisbane lads. I believe there were only two albums which spawned a large number of ...
Staind
Thanks Anthony, I know some of the ‘radio hits’, but I don’t have any albums. And I do like Aaron Lewis’ vocals. Reminds me a bit of 3 Doors Down - their 2002 release “Away From The Sun” was one of the best sounding DVD-Audio releases in the early days of...
On my itouch and ipod...
Some on my playlist: DJ Khalid feat. Akon: We taking over.. Lloyd: Get it shawty New Edition: Hot tonight Smashing Pumpkins: Zero Trick Daddy: Sugar Have you tried listening to 80's music? -MW
i've got 30gb of stuff on my mp3 so it will be a difficult choice
1. this is 2 albums as i cant decide between the 2. Pink Floyd, Dark Side and Wish you were here, both stunning progressive rock. i was going to add the Final Cut to these, but for personal reasons it makes me cry so i've cut it out. 2. Seasick Steve, i s...
Suzanne Vega
Luca was on the 1987 album “Solitude Standing” and Marlene on the Wall was from her self titled 1985 album. It refers to the actress Marlene Dietrich of course. Suzanne was a great, sometimes quirky lyricist. Andrew
5 Albums
Unlike cars I'll limit myself to 5 humble suggestions although you have great taste yourself: 1) Oasis: Whats the Story Morning Glory: imho one of the best Brit Pop/Alternative albums of all time, was what put the band on the map and songs like Champagne ...
Great choices there, SalmanQ8
I saw Oasis last December in Los Angeles, and they are better than ever. Morning Glory is a phenomenal album...with tracks like Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Some Might Say...a total classic! Empire Records is a gem of a soundtrack. I bought th...
My wife is a big Nina Simone fan…
Thanks for the list Salman. I loved that Oasis album, but the ‘modern beatles’ sound always stuck in my throat a little, and the brothers antics were rather annoying. My wife was a big Nina Simone fan and thankfully she dragged me along on Nina’s last Aus...
just one recommendation...
I have just one recommendation for music.... Garbage... album: Absolute Garbage which is their greatest hits. Shirley Manson rules Have a good weekend, ED-209
Evanescence....I'll have to check them out...
Which ones are good? I see a few videos posted on youtube.... Regards, ED-209
Here are several
The lead singer is Amy Lee and she has an amazing strong voice. A real pleasure to see her live, and I'd consider her voice as strong as Aaron Lewis' from Staind. Here are examples of some of Evanescence's good songs: Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sob...
Ed...you know I have a weakness for...
... La Shirley and company. The million dollar question? Which is better? The pink or the orange album? Here's the scenario...you are stuck on a desert island for the rest of your days and can only take ONE Garbage album with you. Which of the two be...
I'll have to say that I my lifelong audio companion would be...
Hi Daos! Nice picture Interesting question....Both CD's are great, but given the scenario of being stuck on an island and having to only choose one, I would have to say the self titled CD: Garbage. Why? Because my all time favorite song is 'Only Happy Whe...
This really is a tough question!
Yikes! Now that I'm faced with the same desert island scenario, I'm sorry I asked! It's so hard to choose... The pink album has my following faves: "Supervixen," "Stupid Girl," "My Lover's Box," and the song you and SalmanQ8 both highlighted, "Only Happ...
Some to consider.
Patty Griffin LIVING WITH GHOSTS Downright amazing songwriter. "Sweet Lorraine" is hauntingly sad. John Prine THE MISSING YEARS John Prine is an amazing singer songwriter. This is some of his best work. Eurythmics SAVAGE One of the best sounding CDs I hav...
Margo Timmins, one of the greatest voices in modern pop
Jed, I agree. The Cowboy Junkies' Trinity Sessions is one of the great albums. It seems like everything recorded at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto turns out to be fantastic (Sheryl Crow recorded an amazing show there, tracks of which turn up ...
Church of the Holy Trinity
I love The trinity Sessions and thanks for the tip-off about Sheryl Crow (you will have to tell us the story of your signed card one day). The ‘volume’ of the Holy Trinity church building is so very apparent on that Junkies album, which was recorded direc...
anything from the MTV unplugged...
anything from the MTV unplugged series is good stuff. Eric Clapton possibly the best with his superb rendition of Layla, but crying in heaven is a bit of an eye filler. i have very diverse tastes from ted Nugent to Cheryl Crow on my mp3. i listen to the r...
Agree that MTV Unplugged...
...has captured some iconic performances. You mention Clapton on Unplugged; a fine concert, the highlight of which for me was his rendition of "Before You Accuse Me." IMO the greatest performance from this series however, was Nirvana's in 1993. Even i...
On the topic of female vocalists …
What do you think of Natalie Merchant? Originally lead vocals for 10,000 Maniacs, but some even better solo work – Motherland being a particular favorite. I also like Alison Krauss’ work, particularly with Union Station, early Mary Black and from the pers...
Female Vocalists
I was into 10,000 Maniacs for a long time and I burned out a little on Natlie Merchant's voice, or at least on the vocal register common to a lot of 10,000 Maniacs music. I also like Alison Krauss. But I REALLY like Patty Griffin and I bet you would too i...
Hmmm...
...it's funny that you bring up Natalie Merchant, because I've got close friends who love her solo work (and the stuff she recorded as part of 10,000 Maniacs), and cannot understand why I'm not into her. It's surprising to me as well that I don't go for ...
Am I so old to be alone to love
Sinhead O' Connor, Morcheeba, The Cranberries ( looks like O' Connor ) Sawn Penn, and so on? Aaah, Blondie, too, on the first albums, till Atomic...... an d what about Pat Benatar??? Best, Nicolas
I was a Morcheeba fan too, Nicolas...
...until they lost their original vocalist, Skye Edwards. She has an amazing voice. I actually think the world of electronica, and in particular trip-hop, has given us some gorgeous female vocals. Favorites of mine, off the top of my head, are: Beth Gi...
Some good suggestions and familiar music…
I liked early Eurythmics (and The Tourists!) and Annie Lennox is a very compelling live performer, particularly in recent years. I agree with your comments about John Prine as well. The Cowboy Junkies “200 More Miles” provides some great live performances...
After much consideration, Andrew, I could come up with . . .
. . . only one album that is neither an established warhorse nor hopelessly obscure . . . try to find Billy Paul's "War of the Gods" . . . . . . and yes, I have the original vinyl . . . cordially, Art...
Is "Me and Mrs Jones" on that?
More insight to the mind of Dr. No... My collection is too all-over-the-board. Too much good music out there. Out right now: Charlie Haden & Friends - the jazz great does a bluegrass album with his family Inara George with Van Dyke Parks "An Invitation" -...
Very hard for me to give only 5 albums, Andrew
I Don't like Music, I love it! I may have a bit more than 1500 CDs, and I owned quite the same number of Vynils. The problem is that I an found of different styles of Music: From the New Wave to Rock, passing by Reggae, Punk, well quite everything except ...
