Aw'w'w blimey! I'm red in the face now admitting this, but I think this just stems from when I was little and mum brought me up on a sizable box of various classical music cassettes, both of nursery rhymes and more traditional, more grown-up classical music. A few examples I think, would be Handel, Mozart, Ravelle, G and S, Prokoviev's Peter And The Wold and The Carnival Of The Animals (that's not one of Prokofiev's works BTW.) I still have a couple of the old cassettes in my collection as I write this post today, and I still listen to them, definitely just through headphones where I can just fall through outer space in to a completely different and also happier world, where I don't have a care in the world and where life doesn't matter to me any more, as long as my favourite songs, overtures and symphonies float round and round my head, like a nice, hot, soaky, lobster pot bath at around halfpast nine on a lovely, fresh clear day, lollol.

Oh yeah here are some more.
that one song from pretty in pink called "if you leave" can't remember who did it. i think it was OMD or something like that.
another is billy joel and rod stewart. I also enjoy some police as well.
and that one song from breakfast club that goes "don't you forget about me" yayaayyaya damn those are damn good guilty pleasures. and bon jovie, anything from wanted dead or alive to you give love a bad name.
and a real bad one, brian adams.

I listen to music by Dolly Parton and Don Williams, well they're some of my favorite singers. I liste to country music, but people say I should listen to more pop music. I also like some of Celine Deon's music and Shania Twain. I have 5 Celine Deon cdS and oneShania Twain CD. I also have 2 Don Williams cds and I don't know how many Dolly Parton ones and some ones by different people.

I actually still have CD's by the backstreet Boys that I listen to on occasion. I only kept them because I like what the sound engeneers did with their voices while in the studio. lol and the harmonization's great.
