Old School Part II (White Music)

[SableCherub]

there is no such thing as WHITE music...for those of you that like rock n' roll...pop...jazz...bebop...hip-hop...country...blue grass...etc...that is OUR music to begin with...so if you like it...it's because WE were the originators of it...and other individuals revamped it to suit their particular likes and dislikes infusing it with a variety of other cultural influences...

My dear disturbed sister, 'WE' know what kind of music we are talking about. And I am sure that the overwhelming majority of us KNOW the history of American music. On that note...Either go with the flow or hit the door.

Level 42- "Something About You"

Now see - here we go again! I thought I was the only one of "us" who was feeling that song. It is definitely a part of my "Napster Download" directory!

Regarding this post in general, I have often said that one of the best things abut getting grown is that you finally feel free to "do what you want" and "like what you like" without the baggage of shaping your tastes to please OTHER people.

It's nice to see my peeps going with their OWN flow instead of trying to please other people!

IotaNet's comments are so on point. Adults should please themselves, not "others".
As for "white music," I like West Coast and Third Stream, two styles of mainstream jazz (not that Kenny G isht)that were popular in the 1950s. Lots of flutes, other woodwinds, French horns, strings.

i see there's a whole bunch of MTV fans up in here! my faves are:

The Police-Don't Stand So Close to Me, Every Little Thing She Does
U2-Gloria, New Years Day, The Unforgettable Fire
Rolling Stones-Miss You, She's So Cold
ABC-Be Near Me, Shoot That Poison Arrow
David Bowie-Fashion, Major Tom, China Girl
The Clash-Rock the Casbah, Radio Clash

if it wasn't for MTV, i woulda missed all this stuff!

ABC "when smokey sings"
Scritti Politti "A perfect way"
That boy Dino, a DJ from Miami or somewhere he had a slow song "24/7"...he was fine!

Don't Start None, Won't Be None

ANYWAY!!!

I love Rick Ashely!!! I have his CD! My favorite songs are She wants to Dance With ME, and Never Gonna Give you Up"

I also love "Pretty Woman, and "Lady in Red"

Does anyone remember this song that came out right after Micheal Jackons' Billie Jean? It was perfomed by a female and the lyrics are:

I'm Billie Jean and I'm mad as hell
I'm a woman with a story to tell,
Super Star, you know know just who you are
(you are, you are, you are) It also has a rap in it as well, and can you believe I remember all the Lyrics???? Wow I guess I'm old!!!

I LOVE THAT SONG!!! I can't remember if the person that song that song was Black or White though, Anyway, Keep Posting

I forgot about the Police, then Sting as a solo act. I wish that they would get back together.

Fleetwood Mac
Taylor Dane "I'll Always Love You" (I heard it today, that's why I came back to post)

Okay, here goes.

I have to agree with all the others plus...

The B52's: Love Shack and Rome Around the World

The Doors: Break on Through to the Other Side and C'mon Baby Light My Fire

Anything Madonna (Old School would be orderline, etc.)
