Besides Keith, who else do you listen to. I listen to Lincoln Park, LOVE them! Three doors down, Van Halen, Seether and Weezer. I have a son who is into these guys and I have grown fond of them, he is 10. I also love the song Don't Cha by the pussycat dolls. But I am a country girl at heart.

[> My faves -- Aussie Chick, 21:52:10 01/18/06 Wed [1]

I love good old fashion rock especially from the 80's.
Bon Jovi, Van Halen and Foreinger of course!
I'm a big fan of The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and the Steve Miller Band so to hear Keith and the boys do their songs is brilliant. I also love some lesser known aussie bands, Crowded House, Noiseworks and Boom Crash Opera, Rick Price and of course Paul Kelly. The current bands I like are Nickelback, Evavescence, Robbie Williams and even some Michael Buble'! You name it, i like it! Not real partial to rap though. I have a huge CD library!

[> [> " My Turn " -- Randee, 22:59:43 01/18/06 Wed [1]

Hello Everyone,
I cut my teeth on Country Music back in 1985. And I still love it today. Way back in 1988, My Father got me listening to Dolly Parton, And by the sweet and cute age of 4 I had attended at least 3 or 4 Dolly concerts in the corner of the right side of the stage sitting on my father's shoulders singing EVERY WORD to " 9 to 5 " And "I Will Aways Love you". And waving at Ms. Parton every chance she got to come on the right side of the stage. Still loving Dolly, I started listen to a Brand new Mother / Daughter Duo "The Judds". Man, 1 st seeing Wynonna sing her heart out at the tender age of 18. I wanted to BE HER! And still do. It even got down to when I was 7 or 8 Me asking my Mom if she'd be my Duo Partner. Of course she said yes. But then when in 1991 came along and Naomi retired I was heart Broken and talked to Mom saying ,,,, " If The Judds can't go on neither can us McCaghren Girls from TX. All the way up till I turned 20 in 2005 to LOVING Keith Lionel Urban... The HUNK from DOWN UNDER!!!!!!!!!!!

[> Isn't it spelled "Linkin"?? LOL And that's all I want to know about them! LOL more inside.. -- Feathers, 21:57:24 01/18/06 Wed [1]

(sombody call the Biography channel....)

Being a Yankee by birth (*and* the grace of God) as well as an '80s girl at heart, it was a long and winding road to get me to Country Music. The theme song at my Senior Prom was "Islands in the Stream" (and we thought it was a mean joke played on us by the juniors who hosted and planned the event) - so you can imagine what kind of baggage Country music carried with me for many, many years! LOL And I still don't care for ALL of it. My good buddy - and co-moderator - Mo has mentored me into the genre over the last few years.

I really started listening after 9/11 because I wanted to hear "Where Were You" more often. And then I went and bought the album. When the first country cd that you buy is Alan Jackson, you're on a very slippery slope! LOLOL Of course, my hubby likes Shania (something about that "I Feel Like a Woman" video...) so he'd bought "Come On Over" in 1999. Then in 2000 he bought Lonestar's "Lonely Grill" because of the song "Baby I'm Amazed" (awwww! he's so sweet!), but I had never bought a country album until I just had to have "Where Were You".

In 2003 I went to the first Sean Hannity Freedom Concert for the Troops at Great Adventue Theme Park in NJ and saw Charlie Daniels, Sara Evans, an Darryl Worley (hot bod, that Darryl!). Went out and bought Sara's "Restless". Uh-oh! I'm slidin' deeper and deeper!! LOL

From there, Lonestar and Rascal Flatts and a few others kept me tuning back in again and again over the next year or so. "Mud on the Tires" hooked me, too - just loved the sentiment! LOL

Then, in Feb 2005, my favorite TV show ("JAG") came to an end (in my mind) when we learned that DJE (who played Harm) wasn't renewing his contract, and Keith was there with "You'll Think of Me". It's probably the weirdest thing to associate that song with a TV show, but the line about "the only blessing I have left to my name, is not knowing what we coulda been, what we shoulda been...." really fit the situation for me - and for Mo, too. So I had to go out and buy "Golden Road" just to listen to that song and "figure it out".

From there, I started listening to country music almost exclusively. I have only heard "Grace of God" ONCE on my local radio (not that they've not played it) but when I heard it I said... Isn't that Keith??? I was clueless about anything prior to GR.

So anyway, long story short, I started watching CMT and collecting all Keith's albums. Now I'm starting to collect other stuff too.

I love Miranda - she's gonna turn Nashville on it's EAR! What a great artist!

I love Brad Paisley - great country songwriter, awesome voice, wicked sense of humor.

I've also bought Phil Vassar's last CD, "Shaken Not Stirred" and really like the piano-style. Plus, he grew up around here so I like to support him.

I like lots of different songs, but don't know if I'd buy a whole album based on a song or two. I also feel as if I should buy a Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard "hits" collection just to round out my understanding of where things have been. And I may yet buy Garth's box set at WalMart.

I wish my local stations would play more variety, or have special times of the day or week that they dedicate to "new" artists or "indie" artists or "real oldies (that don't include Alabama)".

[> Stuck in the 80's -- 1birdinflight, 22:13:19 01/18/06 Wed [1]

I really still like the 80's stuff, myself! Give me a little Billy Idol, a little John Mellencamp, a little Journey, a little Motley Crue, a little John Waite, well, you get the idea! Honestly, I pretty much like country if the artist who sings it is cute...Really, aren't I shallow? I like Keith and Billy and Clay Walker and a few more.

[> [> Billy Idol -- Aussie Chick, 00:04:10 01/19/06 Thu [1]

Billy Idol was my first concert!
It was the Whiplash Smile Tour. I think I was about 12 or 13! My friend Ang and I loved him our fave song was 'Sweet Sixteen'. Boy that was a trip down memory lane. I was brought up on country music but didn't get it at the time. Dad loves, Charlie Pride, Kenny Rogers and of course Dolly. We always had alot of country music playing as I was growing up. Dad loved Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. But at the time he also loved Meatloaf and Neil Diamond and I still love them today. Hot August Night is one of my favorite albums.
