Do you really get into the music of one artist?

[Mermaid02]

I tend to. For a while it was all Taylor Swift all the time (love her or hate her... I know! LOL) Then I went through a period while I wasn't listening to music much.... now I'm all about Jackson Browne.... and there's TONS of stuff I have never even heard of.... I'm enjoying it immensely!

I was wondering if others do this......

 

[Cindy B]

Yes..

I've gotten into all of Kate Bush (even went so far as to find her ONE american TV appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1978), Peter Gabriel, U2, The Cure and The Smiths.

I haven't really got into another artist in a LONG time though

 

[chisnpeke]

I do that too.

 

[mamacatnv]

Nickelback is my new passion

 

[Ohiodislover]

way back when...Norah Jones. I had bought her first CD as soon as it came out. It took everyone else a long time to notice her. I still love that CD--I listen to it at night while I sleep.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I have a hankering for it however I am too lazy for the follow thru.

Like right now, they have re-released CCR and I tend to enjoy it differently.

I guess I relate to the messages at this point in my life better?
When I was a teen, they were OK however now that I am 45, the songs seem more open to me.

Don Henley is my obsession

 

[PK Disney Dork]

My current music fixation is Jason Mraz! Love his song writer style...his voice...his delivery...just very ecclectic and very quirky.

 

[clovergirl5]

Right now for me is Kid Rock. Bought his latest cd last year(Rock and Roll Jesus) and loved it! Bought 3 more of his past cds about 3 weeks ago

 

[omghidanielle]

I've gotten into all of Kate Bush

This was a very long period in my life hahaha

I'm currently into Taylor Swift like the OP

My lifelong phase is with Harvey Danger

 

[Mermaid02]

Thank You!

I don't feel like such a freak!

 

[OK!]

Yes. I'm borderline-disturbingly obsessed with all Foo Fighters music, as well as that of their various offshoot bands, e.g. Sunny Day Real Estate, Jackson United, No Use for a Name, Them Crooked Vultures, and (soon) The Jealous Sound. I have a playlist in iTunes called "Foo and Related" for all of their related bands, and it has 779 items in it, including several versions of various songs and videos. That's not including the hours and hours and hours of live performance footage I have. It's kind of ridiculous, but it makes me happy.

ETA: Forgot to add that in 2008, I saw FF 7 times in concert, driving to shows in Memphis, Nashville, Fayetteville AR, Kansas City, and St. Louis. I flew out to see them in 2 sold-out shows at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas that September. In 2009, since the Foos were on hiatus, I drove to see Sunny Day Real Estate (the original band that Nate, the Foos' bass player, was in) in Chicago and Houston, and drove to see Them Crooked Vultures (the band formed by Dave Grohl, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin) in Nashville. And did I mention that the Nashville and Houston shows were on back to back nights? A friend and I left the TCV show in Nashville right after it ended and I drove all night to Houston. I was runnin' on nothin' but 5-hour Energy drinks, Red Bull, and adrenaline. It was AWESOME.

I am always listening to music I listen to 1,000's of bands but when I come across a new band that I like I tend to listen to everything they have ever done even Demos and EP's then I move on to the next band....

 

[S. C.]

yes

 

[mandylo]

David Bowie for a while (I even named my dog Ziggy Stardust!), AFI, Bullet For My Valentine. I am currently on a Ryan Adams and Tori Amos kick.

 

[kafitty]

yep, i tend to get really heavy into an artist/album for a period of time...i think it's because i get certain songs stuck in my head a lot, so then i listen to the music, so then i get the songs in my head, so then i listen to the music...etc etc

right now it's Lady Gaga. RAH RAH AH AH AH, ROMA ROMA MA!

Oh yeah...Jackson Browne has been my absolute favorite for about 30 years. A friend of mine made a copy of a tape (remember cassettes?) and took me to a concert and that was all she wrote. We had season tickets to a wonderful outdoor concert arena, and saw him twice there, under the stars. I have seen him in concert more than any other artist. My DH surprised me with front row center seats at his Solo Accoustic concert when it came to our town.

I have every album (except "Best Of...) but I have been a little less excited about his last few albums-since "I'm Alive". The older ones (Late for the Sky, For Every Man, Saturate Before Using, The Pretender" are his best work. It sounds corny, but his lyrics speak to me like no other songwriter. And his boyish good looks at 60+ still make me look..{{sigh}}

I'm sooooooooooo jealous!!

I liked in the early-mid 80's but now I really appreciate his talent! I agree about his lyrics- and his voice is so smooth.... just LOVE listening to him!!

I love my Daughtry!!!!

Summer, 1981. I was turning 7 years old. I heard Duran Duran's "Girls on Film" on the radio in my mother's car. Then I saw the video for "Planet Earth" on TV somewhere. I was hooked and haven't looked back...

I have their first four albums and Astronaut on vinyl, all framed. In fact, their debut album, I have the original debut album from 1981, not the re-release with one song removed/one song replaced from 1983. I have all of their CDs, first issues AND remasters, plus The Power Station, Arcadia, and some of John Taylor's solo stuff. I have my original VHS tapes of Sing Blue Silver, Dancing on the Valentine, Arena, Three to Get Ready, and the Video Collection, all from the 80s. I have the DVD reissues of Sing Blue Silver and Arena, plus the "Greatest" collection, "Classic Albums - Rio," "Hammersmith '82," "Live from London," plus the CD+DVD and Dual Disc versions of Astronaut and Red Carpet Massacre. I am eagerly awaiting the CD+DVD reissues of their debut album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, and Arcadia's So Red the Rose. I've seen them in concert 3x; I have my t-shirts and programs from all three (my t-shirt from 1987 still fits!)...heck, I still have my children's t-shirt from 1982!

I have two tattoos for them; one is the symbol that figures prominently in the video "New Moon on Monday." Above that is a tribal-ish sun, my way of symbolizing "(Reach Up for the) Sunrise" when the original five members reunited. And my license plate on my car is DURAN 2.

I MY BOYS!
