He's also into northern soul,which ive never really been able to get into either..I was watching Queen live in rio on sky the other night.Now they are an absolute legend.I would also have loved to have gone to The live aid concert,but was a bit too young to go.x

Skippy I was brought up with Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves etc, still like to listen now'n'again

[Skippy]

I'm not keen on Jim Reeves, but I could listen to Johhny Cash all day - there's something about his voice!

Hey, I just found this on the net, thought it might be relevent to this thread.

A study by a psychology professor has found links between personality and music taste
The Heriot-Watt university professor Adrian North said: "We have always suspected a link between music taste and personality. This is the first time that we've been able to look at it in real detail. No-one has ever done this on this scale before.
"People do actually define themselves through music and relate to other people through it but we haven't known in detail how music is connected to identity."
According to the study heavy metal fans are gentle, indie music listeners lack self-esteem and lovers of pop music are uncreative.
He found that country and western fans are hard-working, rap fans outgoing and jazz and classical music supporters are innovative and bursting with self-confidence.
Contrary to the stereotype, heavy metal fans are gentle and at ease with themselves but they tend not to be hardworking.
Those who listen to heavy metal and classical music share character traits of being creative, at ease and introverted.
But classical music fans have high self-esteem while heavy rock fans lack self-belief.
More than 36,000 people around the globe took part in the survey, the biggest of its type ever conducted.
They were asked to rate 104 musical styles in the study and were also questioned on aspects of their personality.

So I guess we can pick ourselves out of that lot. Depending on the quality of the reserch methods used, I guess.

Mind you, I am the least extroverted person on the planet, even though I do like two classical songs.

I had just better get off my backside too, there is a bruce springsteen CD here.

Well that's me stuffed!!!!!!!!

I hate country and western and like metal, so I must be a real idle so and so![:D][:D]

Hubby would probably agree with it though!

[Skippy]

I like a bit of everything so I must be really mixed up!

I was given a 500gb hard drive for my birthday and am in the process of putting all of my cd's onto it. So far I have used only about 10gb but have still got some way to go. Although mainly a fan of rock music, it's interesting to see how diverse my music collection really is. Although some of them are my wife's it ranges from Madonna to Metallica and many things in between. I also have over 24 hours worth of Iron Maiden tracks (Wait a minute, now I know where all that money went!!). I draw the line at Boy Bands and anything from X Factor though!

[Skippy]

Same here - I can't stand X Factor or boy bands. I much prefer a band who can actually play proper instruments rather than stand in a line and all walk forward at the same time!

Bit of Jim Reeves ... bless his little cotton socks

<center>Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone.
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low.
And you can tell your friend there with you, he'll have to go.

Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you the way I do.
Though love is blind, make up your mind
I've got to know.
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go.

You can't say the words I want to hear
While you're with another man
Do you want me answer yes or no
Darlin' I will understand.

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone.
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low.
And you can tell your friend there with you, he'll have to go.</center>

This must have been the first recorded case of fone naughties ever. The second recorded case was the fone scene in Get Carter with Michael Caine .. not a lot of people know that.

[kallis3]

Well of the two Ray, I know who I would rather have the dirty phone call from - and it ain't Jim Reeves!!!!!!![:D][:D]

[freelili]

Is Jim Reeves an old singer?, sorry if this sounds thick I dont keep up to date much. I have heard the name, I think from my parents. If so what songs does he sing?

[kallis3]

A very old country singer Lily. He's been dead for donkeys years. The song that Ray put down is a hit he had in the 60's I believe.

I was never a fan.

[Skippy]

I think Jim Reeves was around in the 50s and 60s. I can only think of a couple of his songs - He'll Have to Go and Distant Drums. My mum loves him, although it makes her cry when she listens to him! I can't see the point of listening to something that makes you cry, but hey ho, that's my mother for you!
