I truly love music, many genres. But I'll never understand how/why what I want to listen to varies so wildly from week to week even day to day.
The only band that I never tire of is the greatest band of all time, The Beatles...
- A few weeks ago I went through my entire Nirvana (have all their albums) & Pearl Jam library. Doesn't sound appealing at the moment.
- Before that it was Radiohead (have all their albums except the electronica years).
- Went to a Led Zeppelin tribute band concert last week, couldn't get enough of it (have all the Zep albums).
- Downloaded the new James Taylor album a few days ago at DW's request, just wasn't in the mood for JT, though we have all his albums and at times it IS just what I want to hear.
- A few days ago it was Mendelssohn's Songs without Words, Beethoven's 5th Symphony 4th Movement (still the grandest, most spectacular opening passage ever written IMHO - blows me away every time) with a little Vivaldi Four Seasons thrown in.
- Yet yesterday for some unknown reason I went from Jennifer Nettles cover of Neil Diamond's Hello Again (incredible IMO, even though I don't like enjoy most Neil Diamond or country), to Josh Groban, Charlotte Church, Barbara Streisand, Betty Buckley (Memories), Billy Joel (momentarily side-tracked), Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. [I can't imagine having developed the gift of voice to the level this latter group has, to be able to evoke strong emotions, even tears of joy in an audience by simply singing. I love it, but it's beyond my comprehension.]
