TT #27: music preferences

Thirteen past and present music preferences Sometimes you have an "idol" all your life, others blow over after a while or longer. This week I share some of my music preferences (hard to choose just 13!), as always in no particular order. ABBA - As a child I was a big fan, had all the records, was a fanclub member. I still know all the lyrics and play the CD's I have from time to time. The Carpenters - I love the voice of Karen Carpenter: clear, pure, melancholy and always in tune. I have records and CD's, a very special CD-box with rare material and DVD's. Fame - I was glued to the television when "Fame" was broadcast. The title song and "Out here on my own" were favourites, but most songs are special. Marco Borsato - A Dutch artist who won the Soundmix Show years ago and quickly became a national star. I have been a fan for years, went to several concerts, have all his CD's, but the last few years it became less. I still like his music, but I don't have to have his CD's immediately anymore. Céline Dion - I like almost everything she sings both in English and French, she has a very special voice. There has been a time when I played her CD's all day. I'd love to see her show in Las Vegas. Kenny G. - A musician, saxophone magician. He has worked with great singers, but particularly makes great instrumental pieces. He made the theme of the movie "Dying Young" and won in 1994 the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition for "Forever in Love". Robbie Williams - Ha, you knew he would be in this list! ;-) I'm a fan ever since he left Take That. He is a great singer, dancer and entertainer (and drop dead gorgeous into the bargain!). Grease - The first movie of course. Aaah, John Travolta; I had a bit of a crush on him. The music is still contagious. I have the CD and DVD. Barbra Steisand - A timeless voice and icon star. I especially like the ballads, some of them have very special memories. Queen - I love their music. Freddy was one of the best entertainers ever. I've always found him ugly, but still he had that special something. The songs are great. Rat Pack (Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr.) - My dad loved their music and so do I, esp. Dean and Frank. classical music, esp. Fauré, Chopin, Vivaldi - I like a lot of classical music pieces, but I don't like it too heavy. The Dubliners - I love Irish folk music and their songs are great, both the old Irish songs and their own material. Ron and I still want to see them live one day. ~*~*~*~ Links to other Thursday Thirteens! ~*~ amy ~*~ Chelle Y. ~*~ Gattina ~*~ Jeannine ~*~ Candy Minx ~*~ TopChamp ~*~ Nathalie ~*~ Carmen ~*~ JJ ~*~ Thomma Lyn ~*~ Alasandra ~*~ Karen ~*~ Cheryl ~*~ Darla ~*~ ali ~*~ Vicky ~*~ busy91~*~ Christie ~*~ Annie ~*~ Nancy ~*~ Lady G. ~*~ Wylie Kinson ~*~ JO ~*~ Susan Helene ~*~ Susan ~*~ MissLionheart ~*~ Rashenbo ~*~ Rebecca ~*~ Heather ~*~ Friday's Child ~*~ Alisonwonderland ~*~ Sunflower ~*~ Dragonheart ~*~ Caylynn ~*~ Uisce ~*~ Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
