I love so much of so many different kinds of music that the favorite depends on the mood I'm in. (Kind of a music junky - not terribly educated in it, but like it the way the average person likes TV).

Yesterday it was Mambo Fever - a collection of cha-cha, mambo, and similar stuff. Day before it was Louis the XVI (or is it the XIV?). Other recent things I could not stop singing: Jimmy Buffett, Liz Phair (really dig her version of the old Vapors cut Turning Japanese), and Sinatra's Summer Wind.

I like music that makes me want to move.

It usually depends on mood, lately it has been Robert Palmer's "Drive". Going strictly by what has spent most time on my turntable and in my cd player (and number of copies of the album I have bought), "I Just Can't Stop It" by the English Beat. Unfortunately, the cd re-release is missing two songs , "Ranking Full Stop" and a great cover of "Tears of a Clown". A bunch of Jimmy Buffett is always close at hand.

edited to correct one of the song titles.

Yeah, I'm incapable of favoritism with music but a few favs of late:

Th' Legendary Shackshakers - Pandelerium

Ween - coupla different albums (they're all over the place musically!)

Supersuckers - Devil's Food



And then of course Primus - Suck on This & The Brown Album are always within reach.

Yeah. Actually I´m reviewing Pink Floyd´s work (which was prompted by Syd´s death).

At the moment (and appropriately for this forum): John Coltrane, Interstellar Space. Ask me next week and you'll probably get a different answer.

Haunted by Poe.

Interesting story behind it and bits of it tie in the book House of Leaves written by her brother. Both were inspired by a set of audio tapes found in a storage unit. The tapes were letters from thier father narrated to them when they were much younger but never delivered.

It didn't rank that high for me until after September 11. Even though the album came out in 2000, there were several songs on it that could be interpreted in some way as having to do with the attacks, and the aftermath. It's my "when in doubt, play me" CD.

I don't wanna seem like a space nerd, but ever since I performed this in high school (and college too), I've loved it and it's one of my favorites:

The Planets, by Gustav Holst

Now, to really twist your head, here's what's in my CD rotation now:
Tool, Mudvayne, Disturbed, Grip Inc., Slayer, Sevendust, As I Lay Dying, Trivium. . . . . .etc, ad nauseum

What a dichotomy, maybe that's why it's so hard to hang on to a girl. . . . . .

I usually copy my cd's to my computer and then form playlists of my favourite music. But if I should name a certain cd... it would propably be a cd named Wagner: Orchestral Music by EMI.

Jesus Christ Superstar

Not that I'm a believer, but if I was, this 2 cd volume would bring it down to earth enough for me. The music is powerful. Lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. I think the composition is extraodinary and quite moving despite any reservations one might have about the subject.
