I never understood the 4'33 for the piano piece.
It only lasted 3 minutes on my record player until I found I was playing at teh wrong speed.

I seem to have gone pretty much full circle in terms of musical tastes. My teens were dominated by punk and I loved it, but when I took up bass guitar I started to look for and be influenced by more complicated stuff – almost inevitably I became a huge Level 42 fan, not that I was ever going to reach those heights.
For the past 5 years I played in a funk/disco covers band (left them some months ago, although I dep occasionally) where the requirement was for quite technical playing, and you know something? It began to bore me. Everything became too fiddly, everyone wanting to prove their musical virtuosity in front of audiences who didn’t give a hoot – they just wanted a good show and that’s where we were lacking.
I haven’t fully returned to punk – pop punk is my thing now, the likes of All Time Low, Sugarcult, even 5SOS, and contemporary rock by Fall Out Boy, Muse, Deaf Havana etc. With the exception of Muse (and for this reason I only take them in small doses) you very rarely hear a guitar solo; it’s all about the immediate effect of anthemic lyrics and, let’s face it, if you have music in the car you’re most likely to sing along to the words, not a fancy bassline.

Hi anaxcrossword, I've only ever heard of Muse before, none of the others you mentioned, mm Bathsheba the Diane Shaw track is lovely. My next choice, Woodland Sketches, was set for music/piano exams last year and very pretty! :)

Woodland Sketches Op.51 Edward McDowell

[Elina]

Too many to choose chik .. of the moment ..

[Robinia]

I love that song Elina.
I like so many different types of music but if I could only listen to one genre it would be Northern Soul/Motown (does that count as one?), makes me feel good on the worst of days.

This has been a favourite of mine for years. The performers,Radio Tarifa combine the music of Spain and North Africa.

I also enjoy classical...particularly Brahms and Chopin. Media URL: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kotvo_1ZJfM
