Kinda surprised there doesn’t appear to be a thread on this.

I’ve always been a big music fan, a major part in my life. With all that’s going on, maybe folks out there have the same passion and would like to share it? If this thread takes off, we will get a ‘feel’ of what others like, and can make suggestions? As for my tastes, I guess they could be described generally as rock music, blues, folk and some classical. I was thinking that if we could limit it to the more obscure/less well-known tunes? No Beatles, ABBA, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers etc, we’ve all heard them already.

I’ll kick it off with this from Supertramp...

It depends what mood I'm in. Sometime I want to be soothed, or even made to cry. Sometimes if I'm angry and upset I want something really really loud. Sometime I just want something to sing along to (to my husband's chagrin, as I struggle to keep in tune).

I've always been a bit of a Folkie, and we go to lots of live gigs (now cancelled/rescheduled). This link is Oysterband that we've seen many times (and were to see this year) and it probably fits into all the categories above.

Horses for courses, of course, but I prefer this...

A funny thing, but I didn’t ‘get’ AC/DC until more recent times. I know, I’m bad 😀

Anyway, do they come any better than this?

Thanks Freddy , I'd completely forgotten about that Supertramp track . Time to raid the CD collection and annoy the neighbours 😀🎸.

I’ve seen Supertramp live! Earls Court, 1983 I think!

The World’s anthem at the moment, still a brilliant song. Morning wake up dance........

Now that, was lovely 👍 I think I can forgive her, for ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ after that 🙂

Popular Classical [Vivaldi Four Seasons, Strauss, Copeland, esp, Fanfare for the Common Man, and thenfollowed by the Emerson, Lake and Palmer version, Sprach Zarathrustra by Richard Strauss].

Then lots of Rock: Steppenwolf, Bachmann Turner Overdrive, Alice Cooper, Free, Thin Lizzy, interspersed with stuff from Georgie Fame, Alan Price and a few quirky items such as 'Mendocino' by the Sir Douglas Quintet [popular during my first foreign holiday [Austria 1967], so some special memories ...

'Eloise' by Barry Ryan, 'Son of Hickpry Hollers Tramp' by OC Smith, Cream {School detention for writing this on my Latin Exercise Book; another detention the following week for attempted translation to 'Spuma Lactis' as a more cultural version...]

Dave Brubeck 'Take 5'.

And lots of Elkie Brooks [Bought 'No More the Fool' when I met Elaine and we used to play 'We have tonight' at the end of our weekends together, soppy romantic that I am ]

And many more ...

‘Eloise’ is one of my all time favourite tunes. Gotta love those big productions of the late 60’s, early 70’s 👍
