Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel - YouTube

This was a favorite for me in my elementary school years, and I'd play it on my Mickey Mouse record player.

Great song Dorothea.

Some MTV rappers made a short song called -'my thought process'-. . .

RIP Ronnie James Dio. Boy that guy had a voice on him! Rainbow in the Dark. Classic tune! Easy to play on the guitar for sure but fun

Dio - Rainbow In The Dark - YouTube

I don't know how I haven't joined in this thread earlier

I have rather diverse musical tastes, so you'll get a bit of everything from me

I really like Florence + the Machine, here's one of my favourites from her latest album - Never Let Me Go. The video's a bit odd, but the song is amazingly beautiful, and there's the rhythm of ocean waves in the chorus that picks you up and carries you along with it.

I have very diverse tastes as well. A few of us here do.

She has a great voice. I like the style of music. Very nice.

And I was raised on a heavy diet of 1960s/70s folk (my Dad can play guitar, and actually used to play in a band when he was younger) so if there's a discussion about music with me in it there has to be The Seekers and Simon & Garfunkel! I learned to sing singing Judith Durham's parts from The Seekers along to Dad's guitar, and we have a similar vocal range although I can't claim to be anywhere near as good as her. It DOES make singing their stuff fun though!

The Carnival is Over - I know this one off by heart:
The Seekers - The Carnival Is Over.(1968) - YouTube

Red Rubber Ball - written by Paul Simon! One of the best 'take that' after a breakup songs EVER:
The Seekers - 1967 'Red Rubber Ball'. - YouTube

And this is my and my Dad's favourite song to do - acoustic or electric guitar - A World of our Own
The Seekers - A World of our Own (1968 - Stereo, HQ video) - YouTube

The Seekers have some good songs. I like Simon and Garfunkel. I have some of their music and solo cds as well.

Simon & Garfunkel

Scarborough Fair, because it has to be here:
Simon & Garfunkel Scarborough Fair - YouTube

The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy) because, well, it's awesome. And crazy.
59th Street Bridge Song - Simon and Garfunkel - YouTube

And the most amazing performance of the Sound of Silence that I've ever heard - this is Paul Simon performing it at Ground Zero on the 10th anniversary. It's just heartbreakingly beautiful.
Paul Simon - The Sound of Silence 9/11 Ground Zero - YouTube

And for something entirely different, here's Switchfoot's "Sooner or Later (Soren's Song)" - there's so much of myself in this song. I love the 'today is ours, condemned to be free...'

I'm glad we share similar tastes Colleen

Will Smith - The Rain

Yes, believe or not...another song I listened to on my little record player in grade school. I don't know where this 45 record came from and how it was in my house considering my parents couldn't stand KISS or any hard rock group. LOL

Kiss-I Wanna Rock N Roll All Night Lyrics - YouTube

Great parody of people who take World of Warcraft and MMOs too seriously:

The Guild - Do You Wanna Date My Avatar - YouTube


Even better, here is an almost Bollywood song about playing MMOs. Fun song, fun video!

The Guild - "Game On" A Bollywood Themed Gamer's Anthem - YouTube

Love Terence! These are a few of my favorites of his (Yes, I'm aware of the mainstream hits he had on the radio, but these are better! ...as they usually are!).

Terence Trent D'Arby - If You Let Me Stay (Official Video 1987) - YouTube

Terence Trent D'Arby - Let's Go Forward - YouTube

 

[Dorothea]

Here's a newer song of Terence (he's changed his name):

It's very moving.
