Just say someone had no clue about popular music from the last 15 or so years & they asked you ....

Ah. I see.

Hey, I like The Mavericks!

Now that you filled out the entire band width, MsOlga, you've got our attention

How about something from today - 80 % of the stuff my daughter listens to,
is beyond my musical ear, but once in a while I find myself liking a song or two...
So here are some
Two from "Panic at the Disco" - I like this group in general



I also like Coldplay a lot - here is one of their songs, it pays to look through youtube to hear others of Coldplay, MsOlga.


Fall out Boys

One of my personal favorites - La vie en rose by Grace Jones. I love that song...

Just listening to Mary Chapin Carpenter in a minute. I'm obviously not going to keep up. Listening to each one, as posted. Thanks all!

Interesting, interesting ...

I'm putting A2K folks & their music together in my mind here.

Oh like that that one, boomer! More, more!

She's usually more melodramatic than that one time hit of hers.

Half way through boomer's post, I received a call from my friend, C, to come over & have lunch. (I'm also interested to see if she survived the family Christmas invasion, poor thing.) So I'll be off now. I'm looking forward to catching up with the rest which has been posted. (Looks interesting, Jane!) when I get home, later. In the meantime, feel free to post away! This is fun.

I'm also very keen to know about what was happening musically in the UK, other places at this time. Now, even.

<a nudge & a wink at UK A2Kers & others >

OK, gotta run now. Back later.

I like her voice and the song - Ingrid Michaelson

boom's song reminded me of this.

about the right time frame. not country.

Quick last word, before I run ...

Could I ask for a rough date for the music you select? Kind of puts things into a slightly clearer context.

Thanks!

this is the only tune i know by this guy, but i found out about it courtesy of Hamish & Andy

I LOVE pop music!

I'm thinking all of these songs have been released since 2000.

One of my fave pop songs! The Recounteurs:



One of the greatest pop songs ever!



And even Wilco gets poppy:



To get a little quieter, continuing with Wilco... one of my all time favorite songs....

These are two or the singers whose CDs I will buy because almost every song will be great:

Dido (1999):



Aimee Mann (1999):

my favourite aimee mann tune

And thread relevant Til Tuesday... Voices Carry...
