Pop and Soul Aug 28, 2007

Your question is little complex. Are you looking for the musical genre, the artist (vocalists ability and personality), the melodies or the lyrics. Because it really depends.
For some people, only of the above thing matter, for some few and for some other the combination of all this things.
Unless you are planning to distribute free CDs to all Proz Member and you want to know each person taste before you do the mailing, that will different I will take them all.

The Grease Soundtrack Aug 29, 2007

What can I say? "You're the one that I want" is catchy.

Game music Aug 29, 2007

Well, I'm into game soundtracks nowadays.

Unreal, Deus Ex, the Final Fantasies, Xenogears, Planescape Torment, the music of a beautiful yet sadly overlooked game called Outcast, etc. Stuff that I enjoyed listening while I was playing those games and wanted to listen to again.

Vasco Rossi is my favourite Italian male singer.....he SINGS at least!




Do You really think he SINGS? Isn't it more correct saying he delivers his messages almost speaking? (I am not polemizing)



What about the extraordinary voice (3 octaves and a half!!!!!!) of Freddie Mercury? Or the good vibes of Coldplay??

Other music I listen to: Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton and Cream, Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits, George Michael and Wham, Foo Fighters (Learning to fly...), BB King, Steve Ray Vaughan, Andrés Segovia, W.A. Mozart (actually W.G.Mozart, BTW), depending on my mood.

In my car CD player I have... Aug 29, 2007

Incubus and Morgan, an Italian singer (in his last works, odd word associations + a childish tune give a psychedelic atmosphere I definitely like, that puts me in a good mood)

Car is the only place I can listen to music lately, BTW

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it

It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluegrass_music
Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music which has its own roots in Irish, Scottish and English traditional music. Bluegrass was inspired by the music of immigrants from the British Isles (particularly the Scots-Irish immigrants of Appalachia), as well as that of rural African-Americans, jazz, and blues. In bluegrass, as in jazz, each instrument takes a turn playing the melody and improvising around it, while the others revert to backing; this is in contrast to old-time music, in which all instruments play the melody together or one instrument carries the lead throughout while the others provide accompaniment. Bluegrass is distinctively acoustic, rarely using electric instruments. In popular culture bluegrass has an image as a form of folk music. However, it was mostly developed by professional musicians

Well, I don't like many Italian singers because of the wimpy lyrics and arranegments they conjure (95% of the time). I don't know if Blasco (affectionately called by his closest fans) delivers messages, but by Jove he knows the TRUE art of singing......sorry for the Ramazzotti fans out there, but Vasco is MUCH better!! I like your list above....classics indeed especially Pink Floyd and Cream.

Hi Rob!
You're right, that's him. Well, I think nobody (maybe himself included) knows whether he was with Asia or he still is with her, or maybe he was, then they spilt, and then were still together, and then... Anyway, I don't care much about that. I like him anyway, and despite his whole personal story, I find his current music much less depressing and dull than some Bluvertigo pieces (his former band). Or maybe it's just me who's no more in that adolescent-gloomy mood ;p

Incubus are great - I like their atmosphere...

I forgot Coldplay and Elisa, that are stored in my PC, hence giving me the chance to listen to some music when I work with low-concentration works (drawings, etc.)
