Queen Latifah & Loretta Lynn

[bertha katzenengel]

I have "The Dana Owens Album" and "Van Lear Rose" on my desk. A co-worker saw them and laughed -- said "that's, uh, that's two quite different types of music you've got there."

Yep. :bounce:

What's in your collection that might make someone do a double-take?

[SOteric]

1. Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" and Slayer "Reign in Blood"

[bertha katzenengel]

6. I guess I'm not that eclectic; I've never heard of Slayer.

But Coltrane! Mmm... sublime.

[DS1]

8. You? Slayer?

The mystery never ceases :crazy: :loveya:

[SOteric]

14. Yep, my coke-snorting former boss turned me on to it.

[DS1]

15. I don't have any personal experience

but hey, coke might slow Slayer down enough to make it sound like Coltrane :shrug:

[redqueen]

2. La Bottine Souriante - Chic and Swell

[Deja Q]

3. Mine includes:

* ABBA
* The B-52s
* Jefferson Airplane (not the starship sellout slop)
* Public Enemy
* The Living Daylights and For Your Eyes Only movie soundtracks
* REM
* Euro Trance Hits (techno gay bar stuff that's actually decent)
* Thelma Houston
* Jesus Jones
* Human League

4. Pan Pipes and the Grateful Dead

Handel's Messiah and Pink Floyd. Zappa and Bach. Or a Sitar rendition of the Brandenburgs. (That one's really BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD)

[alarcojon]

11. I've got lots of pan pipe stuff

not Zamfir, either. Andean music. Also Floyd, Yes, Smashing Pumpkins, and some bhangra. Don't forget the Yo Yo Ma.

[Kikosexy2]

5. Well...

it'll have to be Beck's "Sea Change" and Los Tucanes "greatest hits". Who are Los Tucanes-- a banda group that has a catchy rockin' n rollin' song.

[LynneSin]

7. Myron Floren's Great Accordian Polka Hits and King Crimson

I usually play them back to back or I mix them up a bit!

[jandrok]

9. I've walked out of CD stores carrying Slayer and Sinatra

Black Flag and Black Oak Arkansas.

The Grateful Dead and the Dead Kennedys.

Anita Baker and Allison Krauss.

I like it all. I've had one or two people comment on my diverse musical tastes, but I enjoy a wide spectrum of musical styles.

[alarcojon]

10. Metallica and Vangelis eom

[carpe diem]

12. as God is my witness...

Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
The Judds- Greatest Hits


I am all over the place...

[Richardo]

13. I heard parts of the Dana Owens album on NPR - sounded GREAT

But I always forget it when I'm scanning the CD racks.

[tishaLA]

16. Except...

It's not. If Billy Strayhorn hated what Sarah Vaughan did to "Lush Life," he has to be whirring around in his grave at the way it sounds on Dana Owens. Oy!

[Richardo]

17. Really? That's disappointing.

The segments I heard on ATC sounded good.

[bertha katzenengel]

19. All 'round, it's an excellent album.

I love listening to this woman sing.

Not all songwriters can dig what the singers do.

[kmla]

18. Patsy Cline and Greenday.

Tony Bennett and The Sex Pistols.
