SPARKS

Not everyone can listen to Sparks 24/7 surely, so what`s your other main musical listening choice, generally ?

I`m not convinced about all this stuff you hear about age and musical preference.....
The whole idea seems very bizarre to me, that just because you add a few numbers onto your age, means you are not "supposed" to like certain things musically....
....why exactly can`t an 85 year old granny like a bit of techno ?

LadyG...if you specify what you define as Rock & Heavy (sorry I couldn`t add more options to make it easy) it would help :-) ....70`s/90`s/Metal/Thrash....etc ???

But first reply as Rock, am I surprised...no....

10 choices are indeed too restrictive....now if there had been an option for "All Of the above".....

Well Alex, yes you are right, I had hoped "Radio Popular" would serve as a blanket for that option, a sort of "I don`t care what it is, as long as it`s music" catchment area...

I did start to give each option a stereotypical description, but it ended up sounding a bit too rude....

You know how easily slighted people can be ;-)

this poll is so dull and limited!
Jazz, Classic, Modern Music, Minimal Music etc. are filed as others!!!

I actually DO listen to Sparks 24-7. I tell no lies!! I just can't seem to get into any other kind of music.

It`s a good job there`s quite a few albums to choose from ! :-)

You're right EF!! I have sort of a rotating system where I listen to one album and then that goes to the back of the 'queue' so to speak and then I listen to the next one in the queue and so on.......

I do listen to the charts though - just to keep up to date. Also I do quite like The Killers and The Kaiser Chiefs - but I only listen to them occasionally.

But do you skip one if you`re not in the mood for it ?

Sometimes I try my mp3 player (software) on random, but I always end up picking & choosing ;-)

CALI · Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2005 10:50 am Post subject:

Yeah, I do tend to skip certain albums at times because as you say EF, you just have to be in the mood for it. The same goes with my iPod. I have it on 'shuffle' but do skip tracks depending on my mood.

im still catching up and idscovering the lost gems of the 70's as sadly i wasnt there. so bands such as ELP, STYX, Yes, etc etc. are still new to me. though a new band called The dresden dolls from boston in my opinion are one of the most exciting things ive heard in years. A duo one plays piano/keyboard and vocalist the other percussion. very phronetic playing which draws similar contrasts to sparks, though perhaps not directly as they call their genre punk rock caberet.

I also "do" ballet. Saw Mike Rutherford at the Kirov in Covent Garden a couple of years ago... He wasn't embarrassed either!

'Girl Anachronism' by The Dresden Dolls is very Sparks IMO.
