Embarrassing Taste

How-do-you-do! U-huh! Ooooh, that takes me back! So, have you ever heard of Les Humphries Singers? And of those guys who did "Mamy Blue"?

Rita McNeil and Anne Murray  I`m in the process of forgiving Anne Murray for doing a duet with that thing Celine on her last album. I was just listening to Clarence " Gatemouth Brown this morning. It`s suprising that the blues isn`t mentioned on this site that often. I also just picked up a CD entitled " Boogie Woogie masters on Black & Blue Records. I find roots music is overlooked by many people who are into progrock.

I like Hall and Oates!

I`ve got a few rare Grace Slick solo albums somewhere in my collection. Lots of great stuff from the early part of the eighties as well. Simple Minds, U2, Mission UK, Gary Numan, Shriekback, The The, Gowan, Lee Aaron, Blondie classical music . Man I got tons of crap. I don`t even keep it all in order. I even inherited my father`s bagpipe albums it`s insane.
I think one has to have an open mind when it comes to the arts. I saw an interview with Stevie Ray Vaughn which was aired justv after his death and he said that he tries to find something good in every kind of music. He`s guested on quite a few albums where you wouldn`t expect to find him including Bowie`s Let`s Dance album.

I own some Tori Amos CDs, and enjoy them quite a lot too. My CD collection probably contains as many non-prog records as prog ones - and I don't think it is a secret for anyone here than in the Eighties I used to be quite a metalhead. I do also enjoy many so-called 'new wave' bands (Talking Heads, The Police, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Pretenders...), and I love world music. Now I'm listening to a live unplugged album by my favourite vocalist, former Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes.

As to more 'guilty' pleasures, I have admitted to digging quite a few Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet songs way back in the Eighties, and one of my favourites from that era were Frankie Goes to Hollywood, who can boast of a collaboration with none other than Steve Howe.

There is no shame in liking any kind of music, ever.

I agree

probably to listen to some OST´S like sailor moon (quite jazzy) saint seiya ( amazing clasical music) a clockwork orange and Transformers , the movie (believe me a couple of instrumentals remind me of YYZ by rush , otherwise it´s great 80 s rock.

Tori Amos is Prog.

His voice was stunning, and his talents as a guitar player, sometimes overlooked. Don't feel ashamed to say you like Jeff, even Steve Vai, the amazing virtuoso and composer himself, stated in a guitar magazine that it brought him to tears to have heard such an amazing album. My appreciation for Jeff's talents grow each time i hear things in his songs i didn't previously hear. RIP Jeff.
