Seeing as someone (I cn't remember who it was)said I was "unusual" because I'm 17 and I like Daniel O'Donnell I was just wondering what Kind of music you all like to see if anyone else is "unusual"
To start the ball rolling I tell you all who else I like.
Westlife, Ronan Keating, The Wolfe Tones, The Dubliners, Coldplay, Brian Kennedy, Elvis, U2, and Irish Folk music i.e. Irish pub songs.

Actually, too numerous and varied to really be able to list it all properly.
I find I can like one or two singles by an artist but not particularly want to buy their album. This makes it difficult for me to list my likes fully too.
I bet people will list stuff and I will wish I had thought to mention that too - if you see what I mean.
It would be easier for me to say what music I don't like really. I like most things, from classical, Sinatra, things from old musicals, to Robbie Williams, Phil Collins (sorry JP!) Enigma, Clannad etc. I dislike with a passion rap, not keen on folk or country and western. Will that do for starters?
U2 , Celine Dion , Kate Bush , All About Eve , The Mission UK , David Sylvian , Japan , Utada Hikaru ,The Human League , The Cranberries , Darius Danesh , Thin Lizzy , The Offspring , Led Zeppelin , Sugababes , Avril Levigne , Muddy Waters , Etta James , BB King , Albert King , Buddy Guy , Otis Rush , Robert Johnson , Howling Wolf , Robert Cray , Gary Moore , Eric Clapton , Telephone , Jimi Hendrix , Elvis Costello , Jethro Tull , Horslips , Carlos Santana , Natalie Imbruglia , Jennifer Lopez , Queen , Tom Waits , Bob Calvert , The Doors , The Rolling Stones , Guns n' Roses , Motley Crue , The Alarm , Suzanne Vega , Soft Cell , Francis Cabrel , Melanie C , Jamie Benson , Hepburn , Bauhaus , The Offspring , Skyclad , AC/DC , Sophie Ellis-Bextor , Madonna , Tori Amos , David Bowie , Rage Against The Machine , Television , Blondie , the Pogues , Marillion , The Eurythmics , Maddy Prior , My Bloody Valentine , Skeletal Family , Beverley Knight , Beverley Craven , Al Green , Blue Oyster Cult , St Etienne , Alice Martineau , Nick Drake , Sandy Denny , Van Morrison , Bert Jansch , Pentangle , The Cult , Fields of the Nephilim , The Clash , Runrig , The Sisters of Mercy , Christina Aguilera , PJ Harvey , Nellie Furtado , the Waterboys , Bon Jovi , the Levellers , the Police , Del Amitri and Marli Buck !
listen to them sometimes. Some are new.
Alice Cooper, Adam & the Ants, Areosmith
Blue, Beatles
Cindy Lauper, The Clash,
David Bowie, Annie Lennox
Simple minds, Stiff little fingers.
Cat Stevens,Elton John.
Slade Roxy Music.
Guns & Roses, Ronan Keating.
Simple MInds, Big Brovaz
Coldplay, Sterophonics
Sinead,Malachi and Marli ,Ainslie(FAME ACADEMY)
Christina Agulaira Liberty X
To name a few........... I like various types of music as long as its good. Malachi's Album has some good tracks but come its got a few stinkers as well. I dont think your unusal Katie but seems to me you need to broaden your listening and give yourself more selection.
Usual stuff, Beatles, classic metal, seventies 'progressive' rock..(floyd etc). Punk rock, especially sex pistols, buzzcocks and 'the damned'. Some MOR stuff, such as the Carpenters and Abba.
a lot of classical stuff, especially Nigel Kennedy and Charlotte Church.
More recent stuff, Oasis, lots of brit pop stuff. Not much in modern 'pop' music at all really, I did like the ketchup song for my sins, I know it gets a lot of stick, but I thought it was a great pop song. also liked the Tatu song, and occasionaly find myself humming along to Atomic Kitten.
Kylie, of course, shes got the art of the pop song down to a tee.
Avril Lavigne, loved her album.
now and then I like something more electronic. 'Addicted to bass' or 'groove is in the heart', I also quite like 'trance'...except when its just a cover version.
To keep to the forum. I loved 'Keep me a secret', and 'I cant break down'. I hope Sinead and Ainslie develop , because imo, they have great potential.
Wet Wet Wet, Eurythmics, The Corrs, Van Morrison, Bon Jovi, FAME ACADEMY, TTF, Oasis, anything Motown, The Pogues, Deacon Blue, U2, Shania Twain, Cher, Elton John, Boyzone/Ronan Keating, Westlife, Spice Girls.....I could go on and on and on.....
That's a fair impressive list Simon
If you like David, I would recommend trying out:
Del Amitri, The Big Dish, Deacon Blue (especially the Raintown album), The 4 of Us, and George Michael (I really like Older, unlike most people).
If you like Sinead:
Slightly trickier. Perhaps Bonnie Raitt, Carole King, Dionne Farris (check out "Hopeless"), Sinead O'Connor's early stuff ("Troy", for example).
Lemar:
Obviously, Marvin Gaye, Al Green and Stevie Wonder. Maxwell, D'Angelo (particularly the "Brown Sugar" album). Curtis Mayfield. Prince (check out his version of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me", which Pam sung on one of the shows).
Ainslie:
Early James ("Stutter"), Placebo, The Buzzcocks, Magazine, XTC, David Bowie, Radiohead, The Smiths.
Malachi:
Brian Kennedy (particularly the first album, The Great War of Words), James Taylor, Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley, Simon and Garfunkel.
Marli:
Tori Amos, Kate Bush.
The others didn't really have enough of an identity (or I didn't like them enough
Very into Catatonia, wearily excited about Cerys Matthews' debut solo album "Cockahoop" (out May 19th, all good record shops
Last albums I bought were Turin Brakes ("Ether Song") and The Cardigans ("Long Gone Before Midnight"). I'd thoroughly recommend the latter, it has been slated in some of the music press as being "joyless", I don't think it's anything of the sort.
Otherwise, lots of Britpop (though I cannot stand Oasis, mainly due to the Gallaghers and not their music), Coldplay, Norah Jones, Texas, Natalie Imbruglia, Macy Gray (great new single out, poor lyrics but very funky), Cranberries, Stereophonics, Supernaturals, and the fantastic Alanis Morrissette.
I'm one of the happy few that really like Older...and yes, not a lot of people agree with me.
The music that I like depends a lot on my mood, of course...
Rammstein, Metallica, Bon Jovi, U2, Eurythmics, Vivaldi, Puccini, Beethoven, Elton John, George Michael, Billy Joel, Therapy!, Oasis, I like the 'rush of blood to the head' album of Coldplay, INXS, The Beatles, Jacques Brel (he was a Belgian, not French like Q-magazine claimed some time ago :mad: ), Guns 'n' Roses, Robbie Williams, Eric Clapton, The Police, Patrick Bruel,...
Typical! Did they at least have the decency to mention that he was David Sneddon's father?

Altogether now!

Or something.

Monsieur Partridge, arrêtez de vivre le mensonge...
(It was them wasn't it? That wee gnaff Claire Grogan....)
BUT lots of music from artists most of you will not know from the Christian pop and rock scene - Petra, Susan Ashton, Twila Paris, Pam Thum, and World Wide Message Tribe !!!
PS Simon do you still post on the Darius site? and can you really include Marli for her music yet or is it just lust at the moment !!!!!
...says the woman who likes Toto, Boston and Barbra Streisand!
Oh, and trendygirl, thanks for posting - I was worried my tastes were a bit 80s, until I read your selection.
As a child in the 60's Clif Richards and also the Monkeys!!!!!!!
During the 70s : Free, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Humble Pie, Santana, Rolling Stones
During the 80s : didnt pick up on much other than Dire Straits
During the 90s : started to pick up on some 80s stuff : Police/Sting
Elton John
Laterly Robbie Williams, David Gray, Coldplay, Ainslie and via Ainslie to James and U2
and with my daughter : Avril lavigne & Sinead Quinn
The Smiths, The Stone Roses, The The, The Pogues, The Happy Mondays, Supergrass, Catatonia, The Verve, loved Oasis when they were good, Pulp, Blur, The Divine Comedy.
Also love good pop like Lightning Seeds, The Beautiful South, Madness, Madonna (when she was good).
Beatles (mostly John Lennon's songs, find McCartney's songs a bit too sentimental), Van Morrison, James Taylor, love Sinead O'Connor's voice though her music is a bit hit and miss.
Love old soul, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Aretha, Stevie. Going further back swing from people like Cab Calloway and Louis Jordan. I also love Paul Robeson (for his voice but also for his life).
Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sinatra, Nina Simone, Nat King Cole.
Can't stand: heavy metal or any heavy rock (or rock n roll as the americans call it).
I still think if Darius was prepared to take a risk with some of his material then he could be a truly great artist , hes got the talent but hes playing it too safe. There are some really good songs on his album , but some awful stuff too - hes got to try and avoid being too bland.
As for me , I am definitely feeling a lot of lust towards Marli
People may not agree with me at the moment , and people may not like Marli's music or her style , but I think in 6-18 months when she is mega-famous , people will have to admit that she is a genuine musical talent equal to the best artists in this country or maybe even the world !
I like 80s electro pop - Midge Ure, Thompson Twins, Human League, OMD, Spandau etc
Cheesy Pop - Bucks Fizz (dear god did I say that out loud?), Kylie, anything naff and poppy.
Soft Rock - Meatloaf, Bon Jovi, Deacon Blue, T'Pau etc.
Male middle of the roaders - Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Sting, Paul Simon.
New country - Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride. Rock Musicals - mostly Lloyd Webber.
And quirky pop- Beautiful South, Barenaked Ladies.
Also love The Pretenders, Paul McCarteny,neil Sedaka, 60s hippy stuff, 70s glamrock, Sarah McLachlan and one of my favourite albums was by one-hit-wonders Scarlet.
(Looking at who I have most albums by it's a tie between Bucks Fizz and The Beautiful South, not quite sure what that says!)
I did start watching FA determined to judge it on talent alone and not personality, Marli was my fav at the start but Im afraid her manner in FA really annoyed me in the end.
I do agree she has talent though, and Ill look forward to hearing her work. I guess that sometimes talented people do have personality quirks.
Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, Electric Light Orchestra, Gerry Rafferty, Dave Brubeck (going to a concert of his next month – Mother’s Day present!
…. and I’m not averse to listening to some of my son’s collection - Richard Ashcroft, Feeder, Red Hot Chili Peppers - as well as classical music.
There were people prepared to stab Marli in the back in the Academy with their barbed comments , but I like to think that ' what goes around comes around ' , and Marli will have the last laugh in the end !
