music and musicians, idea courtesy of saxysai

[jocelyncee]

Okay this is from saxysai:

I got this idea from a random journal I found, and it looked way fun, so here we go! Below is a list of artists/bands I listen to. Read it, then...

1)copy and paste the list below in a comment.
2)next to the ones you actually like and/or listen to, put a "x".

So I'm being a good little copycat and doing it too. :)

I wasn't going to list all the artists I listen to, but I gave in and did anyway. I will probably have a classical piece or two on here, because it wouldn't be me if I didn't. :)

Oh, and they're in somewhat alphabetical order because I needed the help of iTunes to remember them all.

Okay... first thing:

Bobby Brown???? Meh???? (*gets a confused yet suspicious look on her face.... is she being teased, or is she actually missing some reference here...*)

second: Rush was there... listed after Geddy Lee (because I couldn't wait to list them by themselves down at the bottom of the page! How rude!)

third: Dude, how could not have any Peter Gabriel!! Ack!! See, I told you I went by my iTunes list... I'm sure I forgot more than just Mr. Gabriel.

Oh, and besides the obvious, which of these do you listen to? I'm curious to know... *grins*

The Bobby Brown was a joke...

Bobby McFerrin (Hush, with Yo Yo Ma is delightful)
-changed to-
Bobby Brown (Hush, with Yo Ma Ma is OFF THA CHAIN!)

okay, so I'm slow on the uptake LOL... I guess it proves just how little I even think about Bobby Brown, let alone listen to his 'music'...

(yes, I'm a music snob. So sue me. :))
