Ok, ok. But I like snakes! Oh, and I play Word Association and Add One, Drop One.



I'll go and crawl back under my rock......................:tears::tears::tears:

Well..... then I will admit that I secretly like The Partridge Family and David Cassidy[emoji53]

This is by far my favorite group of all time....and they're featured in two pretty recent and very popular movies. I lived in Europe for almost 2 years at the height of this groups popularity and they really were music gods in most of the world. You couldn't go 30 minutes on a pop station without hearing one of their songs. And the concerts? I don't know another band that attracted/attracts kids as young as pre-school all the way up to grand parents. It was nice knowing you all.

Whats there to feel bad for ?

ABBA was (is) awesome !!

I only recently downloaded the Best Of and listened to it in the car . I love Dancing Queen. A lot of their music just makes you almost dance along in the chair, so up beat !!

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong to like a wide variety of music, its the spice in life.

Some days I listen to Metal and love some of it. Then there is ABBA which can also be GREAT for working out! There is pop. There is some classic I love, esp. sad piano music. There is some downright weird stuff that can be great. You can change moods and get transported through time and space in an instant, all with music and the memories that surface when listening to it.

I love a little bit of everything, but not a great fan of country music. I like like 3 country songs, that's it. LOL. The whinyness and lyrics just get to me. They seem to have that obsession with having to rhyme, no matter how silly the lyrics. I better hide now before I get a beating LOL !!!

Music is just awesome :) Esp. older stuff.

Thank you:bow:Thank you:bow:Thank you:bow:I knew I fell for the right girl! Dancing Queen was one of my tennis songs (I was a touring tennis pro in the 80's, about a million years ago) and had several songs that could get me in the right frame of mind. Got to know Boris Becker a bit. Was always nice to me.

Confessions ?

This is in my "workout" playlist :)

Hey, it features a snake for a couple seconds , LOL

I'll touch on this tomorrow. Bed time now as I have a snek show to get ready for! Good night all. This has been fun!

Basically every Queen song (not sure if it's from the 70-80-90s era xD), I'll recommend a few not-so-popular songs:
1. Teo Torriatte
2. Mustapha (a bit weird but it grows on you)
3. You and I
4. The Miracle
5. Seaside Rendezvous
6. No One But You
7. I Want It All

I also enjoy Toto, here are a few songs:
1. Spanish Sea
2. Don't Chain My Heart
3. Africa (obviously :D)
4. Georgy Porgy
5. Rosanna
6. Hold The Line
7. Out Of Love

Years ago when I was going through a Queen phase I burnt a CD with just the quirky tracks off all the Queen albums .. Seaside Rendezvous was one of them obviously..
Melancholy Blues
Lazy on a Sunday Afternoon!
Good old fashioned loverboy
Millionaire Waltz ... all spring to mind

Abba did many fabulous tracks !!

I was in love ( like thousands of others ) with the beautiful blonde ..and loved it when she sang .. " I am the girl with golden hair ... "

What's the video where she's walking around a harbour looking very concerned..

Ahhhh what memories ..

ZZ Top !!



Bachman Turner Overdrive !!!

At the time my work colleague was obsessed with ELP so I did him a cassette of all their heaviest tracks .. Not Fragile etc etc


Anyways at the weekend he played it on the way to Blackpool on a trip out but on the following Monday morning he told us that the BTO music made him feel so aggressive he was driving too hard and fast and him and his wife argued all the way there and he felt like killing someone when they got there ..

That wasn't quite what I had in mind when I compiled the tracks for him :)

Black Sabbath
WhiteSnake
Deep Purple

Focus ?

My special weakness was Status Quo but I don't think they ever really broke America ..

Melancholy Blues and Lazy on a Sunday Afternoon, I've never heard. GOFLV and Millionaire Waltz are good though. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go search up a few more queen songs :)

For me Rock was best in the 70’s. Some of what I consider the very best of all time.....
Skynyrd - FreeBird.
Springstein - Born to Run
ZZ Top - La Grange
Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven
Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon

Cyndi Lauper- Time After Time
Alice Cooper- Poison
Aerosmith- I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing
Heart- Alone
Pat Benatar- Heartbreaker
Twisted Sister- We're Not Gonna Take It
WHAM!- Careless Whisper
Elton John- Funeral For A Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding
Def Leppard- Armageddon

I went to an Alice Cooper concert 4 years ago and he was fantastic!! What a great show.

It is also the best music to listen to while working. When I painted rooms or laid tiles, the 80's blaring, and you almost dance along while working, so much more fun that way :)

When I work out...the 80's are on!! And I can go for hours!!

When I just feel like letting loose, Smeagol and I have our own little 80's party, music a couple of drinks, dancing and singing along. Sometimes it ends up in a little craziness like a 3 am "80's dress up session" which resulted in this (hair would have been BIGGER if I had any hairspray left..LOL) >>>>

https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...28023808_o.jpg

It has also resulted in the brilliant idea to cut my own hair, give myself bangs again (3 am, while listening to the 80's). I remember waking up next morning and thinking, OMG, did I really do this? Running to the mirror, yup, I did !!! :rofl:


There is just so much good music. Nowadays can't even hold a candle. And now you have me listening to it :) Currently : Duran Duran, Ordinary World . Great song. And yes, Falco and Nena were cool, too.

Great tune. I saw DD in San Juan, PR performing in a big fort. Now that was a venue!

Too funny of a video but so 80's. The Scorpians

I did !!! So upbeat and fun, makes it hard to sit still !!!

I always want to get up and dance crazy, LOL !! Life without music would be SO BORING !!!

And how does anyone get work or working out done without music ??

The ONLY time I can work without music is out at the barn or nature, then I enjoy the quiet with some sounds of birds, the horses and whatnot.

But even there, sometimes I bring my bluetooth speaker and some music :D

If this song comes on my playlist, I can go on exercising even though I thought I was tired and done, gives you another boost :rofl:

I can also do a mean sing and dance along with that one, although I can't sing for the life of me and I'm glad no one has ever secretly recorded me, because that would be a :8: moment for sure !!!

Gloria Gaynor I WILL SURVIVE

It's so sad when you think of all the marvellously talented musicians/singers that have passed away far too soon .

I don't know if it's because music is so important to me / everyone or if it's just the crazy lifestyles they mix in but the music business seems to lose an awful lot of high profile people ?!?

Off the top of my head as my saddest moments is Marc Bolan ( T.Rex ) , John Lennon , Phil Lynott ( Thin Lizzy ) , George Michael , Amy Whinehouse...Freddy Mercury , Kurt Cobain , Karen Carpenter , Jeff Buckley, Bowie , Michael Jackson, two of the Bee Gees , Michael Hutchence. Glen Frey ( Eagles ) , Maurice White ( Earth Wind & Fire )... these are just the ones that I have fond memories of ..
