Music recs?

[severity_softly]

I have iTunes gift cards and I can't decide what to buy. Any music recs? As long as they're not country, rap, really bad "adult contemporary", or teen pop stars/boy bands/etc, I'll give them a listen!

Define 'really bad adult contemporary'?

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Don Henley. Percy Sledge. Air Supply. Richard Marx. Celine Dion. Micheal Bolton. Clay Aiken (or any of the AI kids, really).... Um... Shit like that.

Don Henley rocks!!!!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

LOL Innerslytherin likes him too. *sigh*

I have been buying a lot of songs there recently, there is a great song by Rainbow called "Since You Been Gone" that I love.

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'll go listen to the sample!

[darkhawkhealer.livejournal.com]

How about instrumentals?

Nuttin But Stringz is hip hop violins. It's cooler than it sounds, I swear!

In fact...there's a youtube video ripped off of a segment they did on the Noggin channel (warning: there's a copious amount of cute going on).

I listen to strings when I'm writing Reid. So, Yo-Yo Ma or even Paul Dateh are really good. He's got a self-titled album out on iTunes, that I haven't gotten a chance to buy yet (destitution does not suit me, for serious); but if it's anything like his youtube stuff, it's definitely on my list.

DON HENLEY IS NOT really bad "adult contemporary"! WTF bitch, he's an EAGLE!!!!!

*glares*

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

I was heavily considering including the Eagles on that list. I probably should have. I left them off cause I figured I'd get this sort of reaction, but I'm getting it anyway. LOL

What part of CLASSIC ROCK do you not understand? *blinks at you in confusion*

Poor dear.

[innerslytherin]

I like GOOD classic rock.

*CUDDLES AND CLINGS*

*SMOOCHES AND LOVES*

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I like those! I'm actually a big fan of classic instruments in modern music. Primarily rock music, but hip hop strings it a pretty cool idea, and I like that song. I wish there was more on youtube.

The New Pornographers!
And Noah and The Whale!
And Rufus Wainwright!
:D

[darkhawkhealer.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

Love, the Eagles don't count as classic rock any more than Kelly Clarkson counts as rock!

The Eagles were pop for the time. They are not now, nor will they ever be, ROCK.

Don't get me wrong, I like them, but no. *laughs*

[darkhawkhealer.livejournal.com]

And Rufus Wainwright!

Oh! Word!

And also, Allison Crowe! Especially the song "Skeletons and Spirits"!

[innerslytherin]

Oh Lils, you have stabbed me right in the heart.

And here I didn't make fun of you for liking COUNTRY.

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Have I told you lately that I love you? <3

[darkhawkhealer.livejournal.com]

*snickers* You think I'm cute and adorable and you love me, remember?

And you like country, too, so you can't really make fun of me.

I LOVE the Eagles! I just think they're too mellow to really count as classic rock.

[darkhawkhealer.livejournal.com]

*suggles* You can tell me again and again, I am okay with this. :P

[innerslytherin]

I selectively like country, and I did just tell you I sold a bunch of my country CDs. :P

As for the Eagles...I count as classic rock anything that gets played on my two favorite radio stations, one of which is all classic rock and one of which is "classic rock and the best of today's new rock". Granted, the Eagles do cross some genre lines, but still.

THHHHBBBT!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Dude, I heard NIRVANA on a "classic rock" station. Don't listen to your radio. :P

Rufus Wainwright is the love of my life. If he wasn't gay, I would marry him right this very second.
