    Hi baddad. As for Bluegrass, I like Bela Fleck & The Flecktones. Seriously cool music. I also abhor commercial Country & Western. Horrid stuff in the main. I quite like Chris Rea's latest stuff now. He's left his major record label and set up his own small independent record label Jazzee Blue. It's good music. It's just a shame that he doesn't seem to want to be contacted by the email address he has placed on each CD cover. If he doesn't like being contacted, why put it there? All emails get deflected back. I wasn't sending psycho stuff, just "hi Chris, like the new direction."

     

    Hi carole. Blimey Bon Jovi, there's a blast from the past. I used to blast out Keep the Faith all day at one time. I loved the track Dry County. I'm a sucker for epic songs with equally epic guitar solos!!!

     

    Hi waccoe. Yep, it's true, Paul Rodgers joined Queen for some shows this year though Freddie was projected onto a big screen behind them for the upper register notes Paul couldn't hit. Why they didn't wait a respectful period of time (say 5 years) hire a brilliant new singer and reform I will never know. They were a great band.

     

    Hi Helen. I've also never liked Elton John though I do like his writing partner, Bernie Taupin's, own group; The Farm Dogs. They've put out two excellent Americana roots type albums. I also hate Rap though can see the cleverness inherent within it. The wordplay. I also love piano music, classical works like Satie, Debussy and jazz like Bob James, Joe Sample, Lyle Mays and Keith Jarrett.

     

    A good alternative to REM for me is The Tragically Hip, a great band from Canada B)

    Music has helped me immeasurably.

     

    I find that I need to listen to music that has a lot going on within it or else my concentration wanders. Is anyone here the same with regard to that? Currently, I'm listening to the Dave Matthews Band (first 3 albums) as they are very percussive, lots of different layers and exemplary musicianship.

     

    I'm getting into freeform saxophone Jazz now as well, such as Andy Sheppard, Alan Skidmore and John Coltrane. Rush is a band I also like because they are technically proficient and the arrangements are busy, keeping me interested with complex drum patterns and loads of bass.

     

    Blues is something I like too, as it's repetitive and intensifies within that. Without music, I think I'd have gone doollally years ago. Heavy Metal does it for me too, especially Iron Maiden, Dio and Megadeth. Brutal, fast music.

     

    What does everyone here like to listen to?

    I'm very sorry to hear about your cat. I lost my cat at aged 18 3 years ago. She was torn apart by a fox. I have 2 little monsters now whom I love to bits but nothing can ever replace a pet who has died, they have such distinct personalities don't they? Anyhow, I'm sending out BIG HUGS >:D<<'>

    I do the muscle twitching thing, always have. I sort of twitch my chest muscles to music and to incidental music on the tv and in films. Also, to get off to sleep I get my body into a rhythm and sort of sway my hips, this has a soporific effect on me and sleep then comes easy. I make chord shapes on the back of my right hand with my left as I'm listening to music and play great long solos on my right hand and arm too. I am forever moving, my legs jumping up and down all the time. I was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome in 1999 but I believe that was a misdiagnosis, I'm sure what I have is instead AS. Oh, hello by the way. I'm new here :party:
