Be honest!!!!

KW - thanks for resurrecting this thread!!

Along with KW - I too like Barry Manilow - and I have seen him live 4 times (my wife is a BIG fan)
I also like Hank Williams Sr
and Johnny Horton - I love the ballads and the Honky Tonk songs....

I sing with the Go-Go's when my kids play the LPs...

I like most bluegrass - have a few Bill Monroe and
I enjoy Texas Swing - Bob Willis and the Texas Playboys - and a new incarnation of TS - "Hot Club of Cowtown" - 5 CD's and the band has broken up (google them though!)

Walter/Wendy Carlos - I love the Switch-On albums

So - how does that grab you all..

From down Texas way.... Ted

I 'd have to say for me it's Blondie.

Been sorta monitoring this thread, and realized I need to fess up: Manhattan Transfer!

[eloy1964]

Looking through my collection I think my best offering would be 'The Magic Rounabout - Dougal and the blue cat'. Always did model myself on Dylan the Rabbit! I bought the album cheap at a record fair because it is quite a collectors piece with the film that came out not so long back.

I loved the Magic Roundabout too. Dylan was the guy I and most of my friends resembled too.

I have a fondness for the Clangers. I have every episode on DVD and a CD of all the music used on the Program.

I went to a restaurant the day I bought this CD and asked the staff "Can I play my new Clangers CD". The waiter thought it was a new punk band and agreed. When the music started it took about 10 minutes of odd looks from the staff and a couple of comments from other diners before it was removed from the player and returned to me. Bloody philistines!!!!!

March of the Black Queen....I think I'll play that today...

[fremder99]

Hmmm. don't think I've EVER posted to this thread... Time to fess up!

Spacey New Age music - (Some say "new age" rhymes with sewage, but I enjoy it at the "right" time... Have even composed a bit of it)

Kayak - Sorta prog Pop, but Ton Scherpenzeel is a brilliant song-writer.

Innocence Mission - Early stuff is great, but they've gotten almost TOO "precious" lately...

Whew... that hurt, but my soul is cleansed... will anyone speak to me ever again?

[DEzerov]

You're not alone with the Manhattan Transfer, Poda....too cool...too hot!
Steely Dan...Becker and Fagan...just brilliant
XTC....you are right Rickster....
Tears for Fears
Sparks...the Mael Brothers are very, very clever...Lil Beethoven is unreal as are the core three albums from the early and mid 70's
Bill Nelson (solo and Be-Bop Deluxe)....retro-futurism at it's best
Roxy Music/ Brian Ferry

....these are a few of my favorite things....

[mossy]

frem, innocence mission! I went through a major aural journey with them, but once done sort of forgot all about them. Birds of My Neighborhood...what a brilliant album.

I took my girl to see BM @ The Academy of Music in Philly. Same reasons, same results...maybe, it was 31 yrs. ago! He sang "The Dr. Pepper Song"...eveybody sang with him.
I love Magma, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, 1st Kansas, ACDC, Rob Zombie, Philip Glass, and I still play Ambrosia alot but I can only play when I'm in the house by myself.

Pablo Cruise I know...Chilliwack? Sounds like some Vermont form of self-pleasure

[weezie]

What about that band from the 70's from Australia called "Daddy Cool" and their song of the same name? ( i confess that I still like it)

[zvinki]

Chilliwack is a Canadian band from Chilliwack in British Columbia back in the 80's. They were promising at the begining but they seemed to have lost the inspiration pretty quickly.

Chilliwack indeed Rick!! Ouch!
