Who is your favorite individual or group musical performer? Favorite genre? Why?
My favorite genre is rock because it's fast and exciting. Currently my favorite group is Los Lobos, a Latin influence rock band from East Los Angeles (my favorite band changes frequently). I like their music cause it's fast and exciting but has a certain softness to it.

I enjoy listening to Shania Twain...country.....some of her songs have a great beat....and great lyrics.

I also enjoy Adele.....pop.....her voice is so rich and the beat of the songs are contagious.......makes your head bop up and down as you listen.

Simon and Garfunkel's music is also a favorite of mine......it is very relaxing.

And of course, if the song has a science lesson in it......well then, you can't go wrong (one of my kid's favorites):)

Probably the only kind of music that I don't enjoy listening to would be hard rock, and rap....

All of these are nice. It's cool listening to these great links, I believe it's opening my mind to music I wouldn't have listened to otherwise.
I'll ask you the same question I asked Haley above: do you think there's music that women particularly enjoy, as there supposedly is "chick lit" and "chick flicks." What about a particular song might a woman enjoy more?
You can listen to a couple of songs I like via my response to Haley above. But I tell you, hearing all this great music from you guys, I'm not as crazy about the stuff I've always liked. However, I'll mention one more I like, which is "A Million Miles Away" by the Plimsouls. Look for the official video, possibly from Sony.

Check out what I mean by "Beat".....

Of course, I wish I could dance like that.....but for now I'm happy being a spectator.
I also value the words of a song.... it's message...
Bette Midler's song "From a Distance"......has a powerful message

And "The Rose" has some truths we all need to hear:

I think that different people like different music.....my taste is very diversified.
I suppose the older we get as women, we enjoy calmer kinds of music.......but that may also be true for men.
I however really enjoy singing along to a great tune that makes me happy, regardless of genre.
Music is so important in life. When you teach your little ones to appreciate all kinds of music, I think their minds really expand.
TED has exposed me to some great music:

And:
Nellie McKay....who is just fabulous

Oh, and I must share this last one.....I truly enjoy listening to it while sitting outside enjoying the warmth of the day and sipping a cold drink with my eyes closed.

The David Holt is fantastic.
I haven't listened to Nellie McKay yet. Do me a favor and write something at the top of the conversation, and when I listen to Nellie I'll write back.
