And in a complete change of pace, I really like Jars of Clay but I wouldn't call myself a fan of the Christian Rock/Pop genre. So what are some of yours?

Originally Posted By mele Rage Against the Machine is one of my all-time favorite bands, too, but I can't say that I like any other bands like them. I also love Alicia Keys but am not a huge fan of most of her music or that genre. I think most bands can do at least one song that I will like.

'Make it with You', 'Baby I'm-A Want You', 'It Don't Matter to Me', 'Guitar Man', and of course, the gut-wrenching hit 'If.' Go ahead and cry unashamedly. It beats England Dan and John Ford Coley's 'It's Sad to Belong to Someone Else [when the right one comes along]'

Not much, how about you? I'm not sure why I called. I guess I really just wanted to talk to you. And I was thinking maybe later on. We could get together for a while. It's been such a long time. And I really do miss your smile. *I'm not talking about moving in. And I don't want to change your life. But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out. And I'd really love to see you tonight. We could go walking through a windy park. Or take a drive along the beach. Or stay at home and watch TV. You see it really doesn't matter much to me.( * ) I won't ask for promises. So you don't have to lie. We've both played that game before. Say I love you and say goodbye.( * )

Originally Posted By DAR Yeah there's a song by Bread. It's either wah wah wah or wo wah wah. It has like a harmonica like sound. It's hard to describe without audio evidence which I don't have access to right now.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Good topic... I'm there with the Country music thing, too. Never purchased a country album or gone to a concert or put a station on my car stereo... However, on my iPod I have one from Leann Rimes, one from Shania Twain, a couple from Eddie Rabbit and a couple more I can't think of right now. Oh... John Denver, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers too, but they're "crossover" artists. Britney Spears is a tabloid fascination at times and she's cute on SNL reruns, but I have no interest in buying her albums or seeing her shows... I do have "Toxic" on my iPod, though. Where's Shakira come in? Not sure what her genre is... LOL. But I have "Hips Don't Lie" on there, too. My iPod is one big, bizarre mish-mosh (I've posted examples before)... If my friends ever sat down and listened to all of my iPod music - shuffled is my favorite way to listen - they'd only confirm what they've known all along. I'm weird. ;-)

Originally Posted By u k fan As I've said before, I'm a big fan of Melanie C's (AKA Sporty Spice) solo stuff and have all of her albums and singles, but if most of her stuff were released by someone else then I'd barely give it a second listen because it's not a genre I'm attracted to!!!
