When I was younger, I used to listen to contemporary rock music for hours. The lyrics were a big part of my life. I found them enlightening, inspirational, and educational. They really touched a nerve. Now that I've had my own personal year-from-hell, I find myself finding meaning in a lot of the music I listen to (contemporary teen angst rock ). I hear some of the lyrics and think, "wow, that REALLY sounds like my life". Does anyone else here have this connection with music?

I listen to music but I go for the bass sound more than the words. Half of my stuff is old, like Supertramp, Breakfast in America. I choose depending on my mood too. I have a bunch of intsrumental only stuff, like Cusco and Craig Chaquico. When I do weights, I like my daughters old Smashmouth. I also like Blue Man Group.

What groups/artists are you listening to Ohio?

I've heard some good Offspring but don't know about the others. My son never listens to music. He's into Animee and his computer web site. I don't know what my daughter listens to but when I get in the truck she's driving it sounds like crappy rappish/soul music. Maybe you could introduce me to your favorites at the Spring Fling. Doesn't Granny have some fun music too, I saw a mention of?

The music that I listen to is much different than yours, old r&B, doowop, folk, folk rock, blues, 30s 40s and 50s pop and classical, but the feeling is exactly the same.

jazz, classical, folk, classic rock (whatever that means....beatles too)

There are of course songs that I associate with certain times in my life and relate to for that reason. But I don't have the same connection between the lyrics themselves and my life that you do. I just like to listen and sing along. Or cry, or whatever...

How about if we combine the sex and music threads. Are there any favorite songs to &#%^@%@ to?
