The best Music whatever the genre will leave you elated and uplifted, real music will take you on a journey through life’s great door, you will shed tears of sadness and tears of joy; you will learn the value of love and the passion for the fight. If your down or lost it will pick you up and guide on your way. If you are alone it will consol you, touch you were your soul lives. If you have no music you have no passion. Music will always drive you were you want to go no matter who you are. Apart from the odd ghost, debt and the ex wife it’s the only thing that will haunt you whilst your alive…..

[Wynonie Harris]

Well, said, Doug!

great point, Doug.

and this is exactly why i am baffled by people who listen to the worst music imaginable; the MCing and hardcore dance music, and listen to this genre constantly; this disease is a particular epidemic in the chav capital that is Accrington. I continue to ask these people where is the soul in this music? how can you honestly say that this is the soundtrack to your life?
of course most young people who listen to this music do so not off their own back, but are pressured and bullied into it by the chavs...i've seen this happen all the way through my school career and it is still happening RIGHT NOW
so if there are any parents reading this, please please please - try and educate your children's taste in music - and do not -whatever the risk - let them fall into the trap of chavness,
thank you.

I?ll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you?re here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way I fall in love again as I did then.................

But what about "The Great Pretender" or the timeless "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes?" There's just for to many to chose from....endless classics

oh stop ,stop ,stop, they dont write them like that anymore,,,,,,
and while we are in that era ,how about
slim whitman
david whitfield
eddie calvert
johnnie ray
frankie laine...
ooh i could go on for ever ,,,songs with words that had a meaning...
and more up to date dusty springfield ..loads of her songs brought a lump to the throat
