For some reason, I've been listening to John Tesh: Worship at Red Rocks. Over and over again... it feels right, just don't tell my Jewish Mom! Courtney
I grew up in a house full of Big band and the likes of Sinatra, Martin and bennet. Then in the my teens it was Heavy metal and Punk. Now i Find my taste has definately gravitated back to the Singers my Mom loved and newer singers such as Michael Buble. But i still love my latest Greenday CD American Idiot.
I mix disco, elevator music, classical and Italian/French/Spanish/Portuguese ballads/trova.

More More More... is hysterical... Andrea True's voice is so incredibly bored... which is what makes it so incredibly compelling... exactly what you'd expect... and want... from a porn queen!!!
It's like the halfway point between Dancing Queen and Heart of Glass. Debs did that bored thing to perfection, but with an arty irony Andrea barely hinted at. But not even Debbie and the boys could top the Fab Swedes. Like, who could?

Andrea True's version is incomparable because of her background. Once you know it, not only the lyrics make sense, but the whole attitude of the song.
A classic by this one-hit wonder. More!

I'm tempted to buy American Idiot. But recently I find my tolerance for boyee-fronted bands is almost nonexistent. Still, Billie Joe is cute and funny and sweetly queer so I'll probably give it a go. I think I like what I've half heard of it.
About the only guys whose voices and verbiage I've been able to listen to recently are either really old or dead: early Bowie, early Queen, and dear Kurt. Oh, and the Cure... Robert Smith is always good for a quick pick me up (he's neither really old nor dead but he can pass as the latter.)

Nirvana? I never got those guys. They seemed to me like a bunch of whiney losers angry at life. And the same can be said of most 'grunge'. Just my opinion.

Starts out soft and mellow, then quickly ascends into HARD ROCK like steady rythem for the boast to get going and break that mid week dreary gloom feeling...
My physical cycle is at 100%, emotional is borderline, and intellectual cycle has hit rock bottom today... Glade I'm a tripple Aries to overcome that intellectual meltdown...
You should see David Bowies bio for today, he is like peak positive in emotion, intellect, and physical... Perfect cycles for the greatest BOWIE concert ever... Wow...

I might agree with that assessment of most so-called grunge. I own none of it.
Except Nirvana.
Nirvana were in a class by themselves. Melodies, lyrics, sensibility, and a vocalist as great as any rock has produced. Plus their records, 'Nevermind' in partic, *sound* great (thank you Butch Vig and Andy Wallace.)
But, to each her own.
PS. 'Nevermind' fans out there who don't know Sonic Youth's 'Dirty'... you might want to rectify that. Same weight and dimension to the sound (Vig/Wallace again), only with SY's unique thing... and some of Her Highness Kim Gordon's best writing and vocals. Mmm mmm good.
