Hope all our members and their families have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HEALTHY, Happy New Year.
This topic comes up some years and there have been some interesting discussions. I don't like most Christmas music but some tunes are pleasant enough--usually the most obscure ones.
Like my favorite. But that is the topic and my favorite, especially this the first year without Bert Jansch, the Scottish balladeer and primary member of Pentangle, who performed my favorite rendition of "The Cherry Tree Carol."
There are entire genres of music that I dismiss as noise or even worse, but I recently heard of a telephone number a person could call to hear a group (blue-eyed soul genre) whine and coo their awful garbage into the receiver. Don't wait for my call Darryl Hall and John Oates!
And this will be "What group is the MOST OVERRATED and worst, in Your opinion." Abba was close to the top for me, but they are a million times better than Hall and Oates. There will probably be no musicals for this group's inane rantings.
Well, some will certainly hate my favorite music, but it is something non-AS and as seb has reminded us--music has sometimes brightened our spirits and it has some healing properties, especially, for me, several key varieties. Sometimes even a pop tune can put things in perspective.
And to all a Good Night,
KickAS-
John
