Hello Digs,
It's not bad at al and if I must take a choice out of these links than it would be the second one ( Collective soul - Crown) But it's not really my personal style of music although it would be nice to see a live concert on tv or when it passes by on the radio but not to buy a cd of them, then I'm talking about Collective soul / Jackson Browne and Sarah. I really do not like Josh Grobin and David Gray but I do like the music of Bob Seger.

Personal I listen and own a lot af different music but mostly it is Symphonic rock like British best rock band 'Magnum' and the 'Queen' related band 'The Cross'. The rock opera Avantasia. Gothic metal can be nice too sometimes, listen to 'Nightwish' or 'Within temptation' and country : John Denver / Garth Brooks. The toppers from the 80's like Bruce Springsteen, Toto, Chris de Burgh, Bonnie Tyler and Meatloaf. Music from the 80's was really good, you see it all comming back now in the style of the musicians from this time (look at 'the killers'), a lot of artist in the 90's don't exist anymore cause they didn't really look at quality and I think a lot musicians have learned from that, that's good. People like Springsteen are stil making music and I like that, it's quality!

I have to agree with you on the 80's music, pretty good stuff. You know its funny, I use to like country music but not so much any more. I do have all of John Denvers Cds and still listen to them.
Hey I looked up the band 'Magnum' on youtube and I really liked them. You know they remind me a lot of 'Survivor', I really liked them too. Anymore I am into music with meaning, that is relaxing and you can understand what they are saying, if you know what if mean. Ill check into the other bands you mentioned but I really did like the Magnum videos I watched. I like hard rock too but cant deal with the heavy metal too much anymore :shock:

Favorite band after Libera would be Savatage/ Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
I used the / because they are basically the same band. Every member of Savatage is also a member of TSO. Between the 2 bands, they have produced some of the best rock operas every recorded.

I like any classical/choral music and most Christian music.

A few notable artists I like (and this is a very brief list)...

Enya, Celtic Women, Celtic Thunder, Yanni, Josh Groban, The Drakensburg Boys Choir, Joseph McManners, Troy Sivan, + a whole lot more.

I'm more to classical, and country genre of music, and maybe a little bit of pop. As long there's no heavy metal or heavy hitting of the drums, or very bass-y kind of instrument. These always give me headaches. I prefer soothing, gentle and slow music mostly.

Examples of artists in my MP4 play list are: Vienna Boys' Choir, Celtic Woman, Billy Gilman, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Declan Galbraith, David Archuleta, Angelis, Vox Angelis and a few others.. and OF COURSE LIBERA!

My music tastes have been describes as 'eclectic' ... not sure it was meant as a compliment though :wink:

I listen to The Alarm, Meatloaf, Bruce Springsteen, Train, One Republic, The Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel, Johnny Cash, Guns N' Roses, Ennio Morricone, Simple Minds, Dire Straits, Boney M, Bob Marley and from Ireland: U2, Snow Patrol, The Script and Clannad but the two I listen to most are Libera and Vienna Boy's Choir both of whom I have been lucky enough to see live this year.

Digger - I had never heard of Collective Soul before but was seriously impressed when i checked them out on YouTube. So thanks for the intro.

I listen mostly to classical; Bach is my favorite (which accounts for Libera's vocal version of the Air being played--according to my iTunes--well over 200 times). Favorite artists include several of the German treble choirs (especially the Windsbächers) and the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, the finest (traditional) English treble choir in the world!

Hey Digs,
Nice to here you liked Magnum after looking on youtube. I must say that I never have met one who did not like Magnum after hearing their music cause they have different styles but always the Magnum sound.

I once made an article about Magnum for a Dutch Magazine if you are interested in it ,if anyone here is interested in it, just pm are mail me your mail-address so I can sent it to you. The article includes the beginning / music style / future / etc.

Jude,

The Collective Soul videos I posted are both from their "HOME" album. They made this album with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. The orchestra was amazing on this album. They also made a DVD of this concert. They have a lot of other albums, but the home concert with the orchestra is my favorite.

Finally! Someone else who knows of Celtic Thunder!

I'll be seeing the Celtic Thunder Show in early October (in Binghamton). So other than Celtic Thunder, I listen to Celtic Woman, Leahy, Gaelic Storm, Great Big Sea, Flogging Molly, several broadway/west-end musicals: Billy Elliot, Les Miserables, RENT, and Pirate Queen to name a few, classical/baroque/romantic especially Beethoven and whatever I'm singing in choir at that time (like Palestrina), Peter Paul and Mary, John Denver, many other folk artists, Dragonforce, and college a capella.

I'm gonna see them live too!!! They are coming to Tampa and I am soooooooooooo happy. I'll see them in November. It'll be my first concert since I saw the broadway musical "The Rock and the Rabbi," back when it first came out.

They just showed Celtic Thunder on the Chicago PBS station this last weekend. I have seen it twice, and really enjoyed it. If they ever came around Chicago and I had the chance I would definately go see them.
