What are you listening to these days??
I'm a huge music fan... I sing all the time and surely look quite strange while drive in a car... but I don't care. I just love the joy of singing... and I love learning new songs. Usually, it's story songs. Just bought "Great Big Sea's" new CD that also came with a DVD of a concert. It rocks! Great Big Sea is a celtic rock group from St. John's Newfoundland. They are five gorgeous guys in their 20's... with voices that could melt butter. But, wow, do they have energy when they sing!
If anyone has Itunes, search for Great Big Seas's "Courage & Patience & Grit" album. It came out last month or so. My absolute favorite songs... Captain Kidd - Very rousing, energetic! Just a fun song.
I'm a Rover - For the guys! Perfect guy song. "I'm a rover seldom sober..."
The Mermaid (Hysterical about a man who falls in love with a mermaid whose bottom half is a fish)
The River Driver - About a 16 year old who goes to work driving logs down the river.
Consequence Free - about living life without worrying
Mari-Mac - My absolute favorite... a tongue twister song that they sing faster and faster about marrying mary mac!
Great instrumentation... vocals... everything!
What are you listening to these days??

I always enjoy country music, but right now I've been into Sarah Groves. She's contemporary Christian and very much like Ginny Owens, another favorite contemporary Christian artist I enjoy.

What are you listening to these days
I like country music, "Alan Jackson" is my favorite. I like "Carrie Underwood" too. I also like "Enya" and I have recently heard the "Celtic Women" group and they are pretty good too. I hav some "Enya" CD's but nothing from the "Celtic Women" yet. Now don't laugh, but I am a big "Donny Osmond"  fan as well. I have been a fan of his since the 70's when the "Osmonds" "One Bad Apple" record came out. Opps! I just gave my age away. Oh well! I may be 48 years old, but I don't feel or act it.
My nephew is in a band in Florida called "Gettendeep". He is the drummer. BUT it isn't my kind of music. It is that Hard Rock/Acid Rock/Head Banger type of music. They got recording contracts and will be going on tour pretty soon. They tour in Florida now. I told him that his music is not my kind of music but we will support him. So if there are any of you out there who like that type of music, let me know and I will give you the bands website.

I listen to everything from Andrea Bocelli to Ozzy, and all those inbetween
My son is the bassist in two local "death metal/christian metal/head-bangin" bands; and while I totally support the bands, its not my type of music. *Kim, I can relate to you and your nephews relationship..haha

I saw "Great Big Sea" on PBS a couple of years ago and really liked their sound and energy. I have one of their cds - can't remember the name of it. I should dig it out again.
Right now in my car I have been listening to Daughtry, Incubus, Evanescence, and LiVE.

What are some of the Christian singers/groups you like? I don't have many CD's of Christian music. I am always looking for suggestions on Christian Music. I do have some Sandi Patti, Kathy Troccoli, Rebecca St. James, Amy Grant. I think that is about it.

Add me to the list of those who sing in the car! My car's window sticker says "Play Dead" -And I do,....loud!
In fact, while my son was a teenager, it wasn't unusual for him to ask his dad & I to please turn the music down. How backwards is that?

Billy Joel, Paul Simon's two most recent albums, Arlo Guthrie, and the Irish Tenors. One of my goals is to be well enough to see the Tenors when they come to New York on their annual St. Patrick's Day tour. Oh, and we just bought some cello music (Yo-Yo Ma, of course) for my daughter who plays the cello. Very relaxing, good music to de-stress with.
The Bobs. Amazing a capella group out of LA, they are musically gifted, very diverse, and funny as hell. They recently put out "Rhapsody in Bob," done with a pianist. The pianist played Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and the four Bobs did all the other instrumental parts with their voices. It is truly a tour de force. You can get it on Amazon, I think.
I'm not a Christian, but I can tell you that the Irish Tenors "Sacred" is a really beautiful collection of Christian music. Definitely worth a listen. And their Christmas album "We Three Kings" is a must-have for the holiday season.

I love 80's music so in the car my radio is on 105.1 from Orlando because their selections are awesome. I love Enya as well.
Hugs,
Barb 
OH yeah and I am a closet listener of 80's heavy metal.

I'm still in love with 70s and 80s music  Love it!! I love 80s hair bands like Def Leppard, but I love other 80s stuff -- old Madonna, Prince, etc. I like 70s stuff too.
N'Importe Qui mentioned Arlo Guthrie, who I just love and who I met once, as he lives not far from my parents in Massachusetts.... "City of New Orleans" is a GREAT song, and of course.... Alice's Restaurant Massacre -- "You can get...anything you want... at Alice's Restaurant... ('ceptin Alice)" (HILARIOUS SONG)
I am soooo out of the loop when it comes to modern music because I don't really like hip-hop, rap, etc.
