Ooh, I like that thread, Fred. I think to really do this justice, I'll list the groups I most adored at the age of 13: The Police, Styx, Hall and Oates, Loverboy, Duran Duran. Thank god I discovered JT, CSN, and Joni not long after that. I still listen to Hall and Oates and Styx on occasion, and the Monkees - I love the Monkees. Whew, feels good to get that off my chest.

Music is a personal thing, and all of us have liked someone who no-one else seems to like, and maybe Joni and her music is just too deep, for people with a "Wam bam thank you mam" approach to lyrics, and so they just don't try, for me her music reaches inside, and it is hard to understand why some people can't relate to it, yet I don't like the music of Van Morrison, yet so many people do. SO!!!! all of you, it's admit it time, lets see how diverse our tastes are, list 10 artists/groups you like, but at the end of the list you must include that secret that you meant to take to the grave, you know, you love The Bay City Rollers!!! My list Joni Mitchell - especially her earlier work Cat Stevens - James Taylor - Labi Siffri - Beatles - Cheryl Crow - Erasure - Squeese Doris Day - Nat King Cole, I don't care what anyone says, nobody can sing that well. and Doris is a dream, Oh yes she is ! I didn't give this much thought, I could have included Kathleen Farrier, she died in the 50's, and a favourite song on the radio when I was a kid was "Blow the wind Southerly" and if that womans voice doesn't move you, you're not human.
The Shuttle disaster means somebody will be missing someone, this is something I wrote on the evening of September 11th, had I lost my life so unexpectedly, I thought about all those thing that are left unsaid, and wondered if it were possible, what I would want to say to my family.
