Oh and me of course -Rock and roll
Whoever picks right gets $10 ok :D
John and Sarah - Either as a couple or on their own- They have children so the WIGGLES!
Chrizzy - I have to say Country here. On those beautiful Cape evenings!
Blott - I say Classical for a classy lady!
Roger -If Computer guys are the same- they listen to everything!
Steph- I see her like Jullie and vote for Jazz
Gillian B-I say Barbra Streistand- Easy Listening???
Martin of course - Got to go with Opera for some reason
Esprit- I can see her and Terry listening to Jazz
Here are mine! WHere's my $10 will you be paypalling that ????[:p]
hehehe
I agree about Chrizzy with those lovley cape sunsets, The one record I think would
be her fav (not Country) Sitting on the dock of the bay by Ottis Redding
and your very very near with me, as for the $10, I earmarked John and Roger paying it,
but I will I dont mind

Chris - this thread (and Karen's posting) has given me the biggest laugh in weeks :D - thanks.
If you need to get everyone right - sorry Karen (Barbara Streisand[:0] [?]).
I'm not giving anything else away - I want more laughs on this one (by the way, I've got nothing against Barbara Streisand at all, it's just that I don't have any in my record collection ;)).
I'm going to have a think about my guesses . . . . .

Keep it going is all I say.

I wouldn't be so sure about that Chris ;). Got back yesterday morning and mainly just lurking on here due to jetlag. Love the Wiggles suggestion though - were only watching them on Playhouse Disney before leaving for the airport on Friday :D

John and Sarah - Aerosmith. (Well John at least , anything to do with planes - I believe I can Fly etc.
Chrizzy-- Jazz
Blott- Blues
Roger -Middle of the road/easy listening
Steph- I'll abstain from this one even though I could almost certainly get the right answer.:)
Gillian B- Cliff Richard
Martin - 60's - I'm sure it was the hits of the Beach Boys that made him aspire to a life in the sun. Couldn't quite afford the fare at the time to go the extra few miles to California.
Esprit- Pop - with teenagers you don't get much choice.
Since we don't know most others personally it's all pot luck and no offence intended .

Steph's the warmest so far with my own musical taste but way off with Sarah's ;)
Gillian-B
12-10-2003, 23:29
Chrizzy - it's got to be rock? Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Guns 'n Roses? Or am I way off?
John & Sarah - Bruce Springsteen? (Only because my brother-in-law's a pilot and he likes Springsteen!)
Blott - Pavarotti?
Roger - Coldplay or Radiohead?
Steph - Robbie Williams?
Martin - Beatles?
Esprit - Westlife?
I'm probably way off the mark on these (no offence meant as I've never met any of you), but it's fun anyway (and someone's got close with one of my favourites ;)).

12-10-2003, 23:42
Gillian:
Spingsteen is very good (I like a lot of things to be honest e.g. we always listen to country in the US). I'll give you a clue as to my favourite band of all time...Aerosmith was close expcept they do not wear enough make up ;)
steph_goodrum
13-10-2003, 00:06
Gillian is closest so far, she mentioned at least 4 that would be on my play list, Sorry Chris but way off target with jazz.
How about Blue for Sarah (no not Blues CLues or Bear in the Big blue house), something a little more mellow than Bon Jovi.
Chrizzy on her harley, wow thats got to be worth seeing a pic, - Bet she is into ZZ Top then
Blott - I think she's far too busy answering questions on here
Roger - Bands like the Ramones etc (dont ask why just a wild guess)
Steph - Id say Blues
Matin - another Muddy Walters fan
John and Sarah, still trying to work that out
Think when Sarah goes out John gets out his Kiss albums and has a blast
Still thinking about Esprit and Sarah
steph_goodrum
13-10-2003, 00:29
Chris I'll give you a clue, you've got one more genre to go that definitely isn't on my play list - :)
John - "Aerosmith was close except they do not wear enough make up" so it must be Alice Cooper then - or do they wear too much?
KISS!!!!!!!!!!! I win JOHN!!!!! KISS!!!!!! Which means I get 7% of the $10!!!
NO FAIR CHRIS!!! I didn't switch pages so I still win!!
Gotta say- Never would have guessed that one![:p]

Ok we can split the winnings if you want cos im a gent
Chrizzy
I have a 1952 Arial Square 4 that ive just finished restoring, it was my dads who got it
in 1956 for £5
So we almost have Steph, possibly esprit and Blott listens while surfs
Rough guess for Sarah would be Dolly Parton or that chap with the beard whose name
I can think of
And we have me
more thinking needed :D

I just figured out Sarah!
The Spice Girls!
I think I need a new HOBBY!!!
Chris- it loks like I will need the money for withdrawal Therapy! If I don't do some housework soon dear old Hubby will unplug the computer!!!!
Blott- I change you to TOP TEN!
Oh and Chris- I think you previously thought of Willie Nelson!
Ok think Sarah must be into Elton John, Sting etc
Think Id better get on with some work, Ill get in trouble soon :D
Gillian is closest so far with ColdPlay, although with a 9 year old daughter I mostly get to hear teen-groups. Josh is not much into music although the Playstation is usually blasting out load music. Leon (nearly 2) makes me listen to Bob the Builder and Carolyn (like me) listens to anything, so a real mixture in our house.

Well im stumped on Sarah, have to give this some thought dont think she is
an abba or sarah brightman girlie, so its getting a bit tough
Still havent guessed Blott, but could be the beach boys, Esprit is still a hard
one and Gillian is almost there
Wish i hadnt started this now :D:D

Who's Sarah Brightman [?]
not mary j blyth ??
actually thats a good point fiona I should have asked everyones age at the start
that would have helped
Sarah Brightman used to be Andrew Lloyd Webber's wife... soprano and perhaps a bit a la Charlotte Church(ish).
I know its mary poppins :D:D
Is that Jesus and Mary Gang - or something like that?
Sarah Brightman - was dancer with Hot Gossip - had a no 1 hit (I think) with something about a Starship Trooper??? and then went on to have a career as a sort of opera singer. She was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber and did Phantom etc. Last big hit was with the blind opera singer with the fabulous voice.
went to see Phantom in london - it was wow
ok now have site for Sarah Brightman
http://www.sarah-brightman.com/flash.html
perhaps you now know more than you ever wished to!

HEY! FIONA!!! I'm only 35 and I know and still listen to ABBA!!! Huby has their CD!!!

All the Mary guesses are not right so far!
Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mary Black, Mary Hopkins (;)) Maria Carey (well it''s sort of Mary).
I think its Mary Hopkins, or Mary Tyler Moore
Mary Chapin isnt she that country singer
floridadreamvilla.co.uk
14-10-2003, 14:37
Correct - Mary Chapin Carpenter :D. Sarah also likes a lot of other varied music too but this is one of her favourites!

Well done Fiona:DI have to admit I have never heard of her[:I]
Oh she's brill. Being a radio 2 addict - now where else can you listen to Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Cat Stevens, Eva Cassidy (we'll forget about the odd duff early evening or Sundays!)- she is often played on there. I have a few cd's, she's what I'd call country without being toooo country if you know what I mean!

Sounds like your musical tastes are very similar to Sarah's Fiona. Sarah loves Eva Cassidy too and listens to Radio 2 :D

What about Soul & Mowtown[?]
I love soul and motown music like m people err marvin gaye, temptations, everly bros

and also starship - nothin gonna stop us know from the 80s film Maniquine(sorry about the spelling)

Sounds like you love radio 2 Fiona, i used to be a mobile dj but closed down my company cos just was not enough hours in the day to do everything and know buy my villa i need to spend time marketing my villa to get bookings also with running my 2 other companies[|)]
my other main company is nationwide painting and decorating contractors www.****.co.uk
well, SOME of radio 2! Just like music I suppose. Also listen to Radio 4, Virgin, Heart, Magic and when I have to (ie gals have switched my dials) Radio 1. Oh, and am I turning into my mother? yes!
Also run a bathroom distribution company - covers Southern half of England & Wales, just starting work on a website, and when we move our head office to new premises next year I will I/C the retail operation - oh and yes, run a villa rental business in my spare time!

We haven't got a clue what anyone likes. We could take a guess, but it would probably be insulting.
If anyone is interested, we like David Bowie, Madonna, Paul Weller, Shack, The Coral, Oasis, Richard Ashcroft, Eva Cassidy, Sugababes, Blur,The Eels, Red Hot Chilis, Nirvana and many others.
We cannot stand manufactured boy/girl bands and all this pop idol rubbish (although it can be quite funny to watch sometimes).
Who is Eva Cassidy ?? shes been mentioned before on here ???

[She is a brilliant american singer who also wrote her own songs but died of cancer before she was recognised. Get on to CD.WOW website and buy her music. She has a fantastic voice./quote]
She has a beautiful voice, a mix of folk and blues if that is possible, you may have heard her version of Fields of Gold (originally by Sting). She was discovered by the producer of the Terry Wogan show.

My three favourite live acts that I'll own up to are Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams and . . . . . .yes, Robbie Williams. As for listening to music at home - just about anything :)
Spose I should admit my taste
When I was a youngster it was the Faces, Slade, Blackfoot Sue, Gary Glitter etc
Then went into Punk Rock as a teenager
Nowdays I listen to almost anything at all.
The kids always have pop on the radio, but when they go out daddy changes the settings:D
When I was an eeny weeny itsy bitsy baby it was the Beatles, swiftly following by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beak Mick & Tich (who I hear you all ask and no wonder, I don't even seem to have a record of theirs - but it could have been worse, my sister LOVED David Cassidy and then Alvin Stardust!) Swiftly followed by Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Doors, Family, Rod Stewart, Bread, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, John Denver, Paul Simon and then in my 20's: the boss, Dire Straights, Eagles (all of whom I have stayed faithful to!), ZZ Top, J J Cale, Bob Dylan, Michael Chapman. In my 30's I discovered country music, Bryan Adams, Meatloaf and then as I reached the fabulous 40's (!)it's almost anything but rap!
With three teenage boys in the house and strangly in control of the T.V. remote and the car radio we have to suffer Rap Gangsta and a load of stuff that has no meaning to me or the other half, sometimes we try and put heart or magic on but it never lasts long
