Music
I like a lot of different genres of music. I'll listen to anything once, but I absolutely can't stand country, blue grass, or polka music. Who can listen to polka? Oh, wait my Grandpa loves it. Sorry Grandpa, I mean no offense. Lol, alrighty then, no more polka talk. I am a rocker at heart. But truth be told, my heart belongs to an era from long ago. Approximately music from the Baroque period 'til the end of the 40's. Classical, Ragtime, Jazz, Blues, Big Band & Swing, Opera. So, basically I rock out to The Sex Pistols and Beethoven. Yep, even Beethoven, he was a mad, brilliant, genius.
I like a long list of bands,
For my punk rock:
The Clash, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Generation X, The Buzzcocks, The Dead Kennedys. A bit old school for punk, but they are all awesome.
Rock/Classic/Alternative:
Aerosmith, Acceptance, AFI, A Fine Frenzy, Armor For Sleep, Carlos Santana, Damone, Dashboard Confessional, Dave Matthews Band, Death Cab for Cutie, Bob Dylan, Emmy Rossum, Fefe Dobson, Flyleaf, Ghost of the Robot, Green Day, Hawthorne Heights, HIM, Billy Idol, Incubus, I Nine, Alexz Johnson, Janis Joplin, Jet, Keane, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Lifehouse, Lostprophets, Madina Lake, James Marsters, Modest Mouse, My Chemical Romance, Nirvana, OK Go, Paper Moon, Paramore, Tom Petty, Queen, Smashing Pumpkins, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Strummer, Skye Sweetnam, The Academy Is..., The Ataris, The Beatles, The Big Bopper, The Calling, The Cranberries, The Cure, The Everly Brothers, The Faders, The Fratellis, The Kinks, The Pettit Project, The Police, The Smiths, The Verve, The Verve Pipe, The Vincent Black Shadow, The Wallflowers, The White Stripes, The Who, 30 Seconds to Mars, Tiger Army, Elisa Toffoli, Tonic, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Neil Young.
Swing/Jazz/Blues(the wonderful music of the past):
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Judy Garland, Helen Forrest, Jimmie Lunceford, Nat King Cole, Margaret Whiting, Marjorie Hughes, Benny Goodman, Al Jolson, Jeanne D'Arcy, Martha Tilton, Harry James, Glenn Miller, Marion Tex, Billie Holliday, the Dorsey brothers (Tommy and Jimmy), Sammy Kaye, Lee Morse, The Andrews Sisters, Sammy Davis Jr., Perry Como, Ella Fitzgerald, Jo Stafford, Bing Crosby, Fats Waller, Kitty Kallen, Ethel Waters, Louis Armstrong, Artie Shaw, Lena Horne, Mildred Bailey, Irving Berlin, the Gershwin brothers (George and Ira), Ruth Etting, Sophie Tucker, Al Bowlly, Kay Kyser, Annette Hanshaw, Etta James, Duke Ellington, Charlie Barnet, Pearl Bailey, The Boswell Sisters, Stan Kenton, Bob Crosby, Dinah Shore, Marion Harris, Gene Krupa, Cole Porter, The Fontaine Sisters, The Pied Pipers, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Helen Kane, Josephine Baker, Paul Whiteman, Bunny Berigan, Scott Joplin, Louis Jordan, Johnny Lee Hooker. These types of music most people don't get why I like it. Lol, I guess it's because it's uncommon for someone my age. Lately I've been very into classical music, and that's more of a head-scratcher for people. I watch a lot of Classic Arts Showcase and they've shown quite a few composers that I now like:
Jules Massenet, Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Felix Mendelssohn, Hector Berlioz, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Frederic Chopin, Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Georges Bizet, Gioachino Rossini, Antonio Vivaldi, Johannes Brahms, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Schumann, Johann Sebastian Bach, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Gaetano Donizetti, George Frideric Handel, Carl Maria von Weber, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Claudio Monteverdi, Sergei Prokofiev, Christoph Willibald Gluck, Charles Gounod, Franz Schubert, Joseph Haydn, Gustav Mahler, Richard Wagner, Claude Debussy, Ambroise Thomas, Arrigo Boito, and of course, Ludwig van Beethoven.
Also, thanks to Classic Arts Showcase I love Opera a lot more than I used to, which makes me even more strange but oh well. Lol, no worries. So, here be my list of Opera singers, just lovely, they are:
Sarah Brightman, Andrea Bocelli, Rosa Ponselle, Enrico Caruso, Lina Cavalieri, Giovanni Martinelli, Charlotte Church, Jose Cura, Amelita Galli-Curci. My favorite operas are Manon by Jules Massenet, Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata, Giacomo Puccini's La Boheme and Tosca, Carmen by Georges Bizet. Isn't it odd for someone my age? Lol, my tastes are getting even more diverse with this next genre(s). Ambient/Celtic/Folk: Miriam Stockley, Celtic Woman, Hayley Westenra, Sissel, Anuna.
Oh, and how could I forget? I just love the music of Cirque du Soleil. Alegria, Quidam, Dralion, Varekai, La Nouba, Corteo. I think that Francesca Gagnon, Audrey Brisson-Jutras, Mathieu Lavoie, Erik Karol, Zara Tellander, and Natacha Atlas have the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
