[DAISY DUCK FAN!]

The Beatles are my ultimate favorite.

Duran Duran (the original lineup)

The Mavericks when they're together

and just Raul Malo when they're not.

I love everything from Muse to Mozart so I could never narrow it down to a short list.

However, that said, I can't let this thread die without paying homage to Mr. Robert Zimmerman, otherwise known as Bob Dylan.
His words are poetry and have spoken to me like no other. He has made me think, rethink things I thought to be true and made me want to be a better person.
He was already a legend when he went "electric" and, although he enraged the folk purists, simply put out one of the greatest rock albums ever in Highway 61 Revisited. I've heard it a million times, but every time "Like a Rolling Stone" comes on, I crank it up and sing at the top of my lungs. Not many songs can make me do that.

 

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Starland Vocal Band

"AFTERNOON DELIGHT"

 

[gabrismom]

Cool idea for a thread. I like lots of different music but some of my favorites off the top of my head are
The Rolling Stones
ACDC
Transvision Vamp
Michael Franti and the Spearheads
Hedley
Black Eyed Peas
Lady Antebellum
The Specials
U2
Hootie and the blowfish
Green Day
Pearl Jam

Not in groups but people I love as well... Billy Joel, Elton John, Ray Lamontagne, Darius Rucker, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill

A lot of my music likes are because they just make me happy when I listen to them. Nothing more. Others ofcourse have sentimental meaning due to personal experiences in my life.

 

[tiggerlover]

Bon Jovi....because he is HOT and I have loved him for 20+ years.

 

[Calrissian13]

I've been a music nut for years, thanks to my brother who was always blasting the newest stuff from his bedroom. My favourites that I always turn to are (in no particular order)

Guns N Roses (the original line up, not the new one)
Live
Arcade Fire
Bon Jovi
The Beach Boys
The Platters
Muse
U2
Abba
Velvet Revolver
The Beatles
Econoline Crush
Journey

Thanks SeaChelle. I couldn't believe this got to 30 posts before a Beatles vote.

Well you shouldn't believe it, because it was actually 23 posts! I can't believe it went that far! Great taste in music BTW!
