I like some country music - the songs that cross over into pop - but in the main I'm not a country fan. I was brought up on sixties pop music.

What about you? What is your preference in music?

1454084 2018-10-04 20:48:00 My preference in music is Good music. The 'type' isnt so important :-)
Country has many completely different flavours . Bluegrass(?) , hard country, pop/crossover,acoustic only, etc

Some country stars make very good music & wrote very good songs: Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert , these I like and could be called easy listening I guess
The purer country can be quite hard to listen to (for me) , the further away from middle of the road/pop the less its liked by J.Average.

Generally, anything before the 90's.

Preferably late-60's / 70's rock. Led Zep, Doobie's, the list goes on.

Being late-teens with a drinking problem in the 80's I am a fan of that era as well.

1454086 2018-10-04 21:38:00 40', 50's and 60's, best in dancing era for BH & I.

Jim REEVES type of thing.

Joan IRVINE who had been to the London School of Dancing, was a fantastic "instructor" back in the 1950's.

Different type of music tho.

1454087 2018-10-04 22:14:00 Who hates all the new cover versions of the classic pop/rock songs ?

They are almost never as good as the original, and always forgotten within a year. Its like, 'Ive run out of original ideas, I'll do a cover'
Too many crappy cover versions playing on the radio . I always change channel when I hear one.

Here's the lyrics:

Sharing a Gibson with Martin Luther King Jr.


All the leaves have turned to leather
I have lost faith in the spring
Withered like a dark balloon
Oh, I hear no robin sing

Ushered with the shower still
Oh, the rain falls off the leaves
And a rim of shady light
It forms these patterns on my hands

I can see your ring
Is it camouflaged or etched
Tell the king
To me this errand sent

To call such a hole
In the kingdom of the Lord
That we are afraid
Where there is no fear

Oh, he fell into a slumber
And did not wake until the dawn
To see a band of orange clouds
Cross the middle of the sky

Oh, he got into a fluster
He felt a tightening in his leg
With such finesse he waived a hornet
From a wine glass

And tiny fluffs of the feathered life
And you wander forth with your insolence and wine
To your fruitless mourn to them that cannot hear
And what the **** am I doing here?

In the ghettos of Chicago
Amid the poverty and despair
Inside the game hens
Were the giblets in a plastic bag

A cocktail which consisted
Of his gin and her vermouth
Garnished together with the pearl onions
Dying eyes gleamed forth their ashy light

Tiny fluffs of the feathered life
And you wander forth with your insolence and wine
To your fruitless mourn to them that cannot hear
