My music

Hello everyone,
Today I won't reflect on my life but I'll write something about the music I like. I am a women who prefers older kind of music. I don't watch MTV or whatever of that kind because I get depressed by the kind of music people create nowadays. It is not art anymore but just business, a sort of industry. As a protest I have cut myself from this trend and stayed in 20th century. Of course, sometimes it happens that there appears an artist with good music today, so don't think that I am blind to that. I'm not.
First, I would like to introduce you to a band you surely know. Pink Floyd. My father is the one that is responsible for my love to this band. I like Pink Floyd because they are able to see music everywhere (listen to their CDs Ummagumma or Atom heart mother). What is more, the songs they put on their CDs are linked with each other and tell a kind of story. It is hard to choose the best song. They have so many of them. I will put here the one which most of you probably know - Wish you were here ( I don't think that this is the official clip, I guess that there's no one like that but just listen to the song).



I hope I did it well and it will work.
Now, briefly I would like you to listen to others band that I like. I won't put all of them here but some of them are: Queen (the best male voice ever), Led Zeppelin, U2, Guns N' Roses, Michael Jackson (don't laugh, I do like him) and many more. Here you have a song by Queen "I want to break free". I love Freddie in this clip;)



And now something more "modern". Some of the band, singers are KT Tunstall, Alanis Morissette, Hooverphonic, and probably something alse but I can't remember now. Here you have Hooverphonic as maybe some of you don't know this band. A very beautiful song Vinegar and Salt.



And it just popped into my mind. I wanted to put Eva Cassidy, one of the best female voices. Just listen to her interpretation of "Autumn Leaves".



And just for the nice ending, somethinf from movie music, which I also dearly love. Here you have Road to Chicago from the movie Road to Perdition (watch it if you haven't seen it yet!). Music was composed by a well-known composer Thomas Newman. Enjoy.

You definitely have a defined view on music and I admire that. Although I've heard about Pink Floyd, I've never actually listened to the music. I agree that Eva Cassidy has one of the best female voices. Do you know 'What a wonderful world' by Eva Cassidy and Katie Melua? Abviously, it's a remake, good one though.

I liked all the songs you've recommended. I enjoy Queen as well - always moved by "We are the Champions". "Road to Chicago" is my taste definitely too :) What's the movie about?

Emilson, I AM amazed - most of this is music of my school days :) And good it is, no doubt. It must be great for your Father to share his favorite music with you. Not very common these days.
