I had a cd of Tom Lehrer. Loved it. It was stolen in a burglary. I hope whoever has it now is enjoying “Poisoning pigeons in the Park” and “Oedipus Rex” who “Luuurved his motherrr”!

Soul music is my favourite, although I like a lot of pop and rock too as well as some country music.

Traditional folk but also Meatloaf, Bobby Darin, Everly Brothers. Not keen on lady singers except June Tabor and Maddy Prior.

60's music is happy music. I went to The Cavern and other Liverpool clubs and had a great time.
Then along came Queen and I saw them twice - wonderful!
I like Meatloaf - I would do anything for love.

Rock and pop, a little country (Kenny Rogers style) , a little folk (more Simon and Garfunkel though). My Spotify randomly shuffling yesterday evening included The Beatles, Oasis, Marty Robbins, ABBA, The Archies, Linda Ronstadt, Deep Purple, Chappell Roan, The Tremeloes, Joan Baez, S&G, Gordon Lightfoot, The Monkees…

By day I listen to Boom Radio.

Soul music and Motown.

HiPpyChick57 Wed 23-Apr-25 14:06:34

I love all music. There’s too many genres to pick just one favourite.
I particularly enjoy Ska, Reggae, Southern Rock, Northern Soul,
Rhythm and Blues, Soul, Classical Rock, Classical Music, Country Music, Pop Music.
I really enjoyed Gareth Malone last week when he was training up 8 singers to take part in Handel’s Messiah alongside some world class performers at Llandaff Cathedral.
I think the only music I don’t like is Jazz and Rap.

The Beatles grin Most 60s music and lots of 50s. Barbra Streisand. Adele. Michael Bublé who was wonderful live as was Tony Bennett.

BeneathTheHowlingStars Wed 23-Apr-25 14:18:40

I adore Cradle of Filth and Marilyn Manson. Not everyone's cup of tea but they 'do it' for me.

Kate1949 Wed 23-Apr-25 14:19:15

We are going to see Steeleye Span in May. Remember them?

I adore Cradle of Filth and Marilyn Manson. Not everyone's cup of tea but they 'do it' for me.

I'll have to have a look for their songs. I love Linkin Park

Gogo84 Wed 23-Apr-25 15:05:46

Oh yes CountessFosco. The great Tom Lehrer. So many wonderful, if at times gruesome! Beatles, Queen and Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff too for me.

Gogo84 Wed 23-Apr-25 15:17:05

How could I have forgotten the one and only Ella Fitzgerald and Bruch's violin concerto. Magical.

staceygrove Wed 23-Apr-25 15:55:37

Glam rock, T.Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Steve Harley.
Also different genres The Stranglers, Public Image. Jam
Blur,Oasis. The Killers, Placebo to name a few

Love to dance around the kitchen to 1970s soul music!

Romola Wed 23-Apr-25 16:22:07

J S Bach's double violin concerto, which to me seems like a love affair.
Brahms' A German Requiem, a consolation to the living.

Greyduster Wed 23-Apr-25 16:35:40

I intend to watch the Gareth Malone Messiah programme, but one choral piece that sends me into raptures is a video recording of Paul McCreesh and the Gabrielli Consort rehearsing a huge choir of children and adult singers Fromm all over the country in Parry’s “I Was Glad”. It took place in Ely Cathedral and it absolutely blew my socks off! It’s probably still on YouTube.

Jaxjacky Wed 23-Apr-25 16:49:33

Different tracks from various times of my life, mainly heavy rock or pop, the occasional classical piece or blues, not country, folk or jazz.
