Music

Night a friend of mine is going to the Nickelback concert. There are a lot of people that don't like them but I never figured out why. I'm not a big fan of theirs I enjoy their songs when they are on the radio. She wasn't sure what I like music wise and it is a pretty long answer so I thought I'd post it on my blog.
In my middle teens, after I got a job, I started buying the Chicago albums. This was my 1st foray into music that was my own interest. I also had a friend who like "underground" rock music. I learned to enjoy some of his music like Fleetwood Mac, Yardbirds and cream.. I also found one Beatles album I like and that was Abbey Road. I never was much of a Beatles fan but that album was really good. Other groups I like then were Edgar Winter and Steppenwolf. About this time my friend Mark started listening to Dylan and I became a fan. I was already starting out with a pretty eclectic group of music that I like.
After I got an iPhone I started realizing I could buy all of these favorites from the old days on iTunes. These fill up about a quarter of my phone music. Then there were a number of years where he became a country fan. It kind of coincided with the layoff in the early 80s and it was nice hearing sob stories in song. I've always been a George Strait fan ever since then. I've downloaded is 50 greatest hits on to my phone. There are other going to groups I like and I added them just to get some balance and my song group. I've also added quite a few songs and artists from the TV show "The Voice". It's amazing how good some of the singers who are that are good enough to win. One of my favorites dad went and that was a little country girl named Daniel Bradberry.
And for number of years my wife listen to Christian songs on the radio. After I got an iPhone I started downloading some of them that I like. One group in particular have a lot of is Mercy Me. Shawn McDonald is pretty good too. I've added a few others just to keep a balance.
So I guess I like classic rock, folk music, some hard rock, some like rock, the blues, country, some Christian.
Others not mentioned that I have enjoyed and probably purchased but didn't mention:
Patsy Cline
Linda Ronstadt
Dolores Riordan
Amy Grant
Garth Brooks
Sawyer Brown
Amos Lee
some Led Zeppelin
I lost some of this music when my hard drive crashed on my desktop. I was able to get most of it back with some was lost for good.
I think music is like art – I don't know what good music is but I know what I like.
