It seems clear of late that I am capable of enjoying music that I wouldn't have expected of myself. Which means there is a whole wide world of music out there that I could be enjoying but am not (yet). SO. This is where you come in!
I am sure that you, Dear Readers, listen to music, and have opinions about the music you listen to. I am sure you have musicians or singers or bands that you particularly like. And it is entirely possible you enjoy proselytizing on behalf of these music groups. If that is you, then, well! I have a request!
Please tell me the name of a musician/band that you think I should listen to (no matter how well-known or not)*, what CD of theirs I should start with, and, for in case it's a style of music I'm not very experienced at listening to yet, which one song from that CD I should listen to several times on repeat so I can learn how to like it before tackling the whole CD.
Please don't load up a comment with tons of recs, because then I will just get overwhelmed! Stick to one a person (mmmmmaaaaaybe two), and we'll all be happy.
And do not hesitate even if you are a lurker or don't talk to me very often or whatever. My journal is always open!
And then, over the course of however long it takes me, I WILL give a good honest try to the things I get recced in this post, even if it's something I'm skeptical about, because if you like it then it must have something about it worth liking. And then it is entirely possible (nay, probable, given my tendency towards verbosity WHICH YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED *COUGH*) that I will write up posts on my opinions.
Okay? Okay!
*And make no assumptions about what I must already know. I mean, yes, I'm familiar with the Beatles, but ANYTHING ELSE is fair game. My friends are always laughing at me for how utterly clueless I am about popular stuff.
