I listen to all kinds of music, but probably pop/alt rock the most. As we move into spring and summer, there are always good pop songs on the horizon this time of year. Gaga just released a new single, "Judas", and I'm quite simply almost always going to like a Gaga product. The whole Adele CD, 21, is great. I love, love the new Foo Fighters CD..."These Days" is a gem but the entire thing reminds you of just what a great rock band they are. It's made me go back and listen to their older stuff and appreciate them more. I heard a familiar voice on my Alt Nation Sirius station the other day and had to download- Crystal Castles has a song called "Not in Love" featuring Robert Smith of the Cure. Has a good beat and I can dance to it. I'm a total Gleek and love the Warblers too. Their version of Pink's "Raise Your Glass" should have won them Regionals. J. Lo is so hot right now, being the most beautiful woman in the world and all, and I dig her new single, "I'm into You." I don't dabble in country music much, but Kelly Clarkson has a good duet with Jason Aldean currently on the radio. And I do like his song, "Dirt Road Anthem"- it's almost like a country rap song. And speaking of rap, even though we have listened to Wiz Khalifa's "Roll Up" and "No Sleep" many many times, we still have not settled the debate as to which one is THE song of Spring Break 2011. (I say the former, Phil says the latter. The kids are split. If you do let your kids listen to Wiz Khalifa, download the clean version. And if they get a look at the record cover and ask you what "rolling papers" are, tell them that Wiz is just stocking up on toilet paper...)
These are just a few to sample. Happy listening!
Joy, this is great - I'm constantly asking the young people in the office, "who is this?" when they're playing a song I like. It makes me feel crazy old.
