    Hey Snowball,

    Like women, eh?

    Fleetwood Mac will always be around, imho. My kids learned to walk to their records. Remember the "Tusk" album? We were homebound during the snows, 3 little ones. I turned the volume waaaay up, and then we'd dance. I'd make them dance until they were so dizzy, they'd fall down giggling.

    Then hopefully, they'd nap. Which was my plan, btw.

    Hehehe, you noticed, Waiting?

    Yea i must admit that my favorite singers are female. I just love the female voice. My first album i ever bought was Stevie Nicks :Wild Heart. And man, Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest bands ever, IMO!

    Tusk was awesome...but then, so were any of their albums! I wanna get "The Chain" DVD of their live concert.

    I guess my appreciation for female artists has also led me into celtic music where they reign supreme as queens! :-)

    Then there are times i can get by on nothing but Tori Amos or Sarah MacLachlan! True magic! And lets not forget Alanis Morrisette or Sade or Heart or Sinead Lohan or the Pretenders or the Sundays....oh it could go on and on....

    I only regret that I never made it to a Lilith Fair concert :(

    Don't know if anyone will see this or not, but I missed this thread when it was up I guess! So for my own self-edification I will list my favorites. Like Snowball, I do love the female voice, but I also get a lot out of songs by men. For instance, Green River CCRevival will always have the ability to whisk me back to California where I listened to it so much and got so homesick for Alabama. Great guitar work appeals to me a lot also.

    My favorites in no order:

    Linda Ronstadt's greatest hits - Blue Bayou and Baby, Baby best songs

    Mariah Carey Music Box - Hero, Anytime You Need a Friend

    Credence Clearwater Revival Chronicle - Susie Q, Green River, Bad Moon, Fortunate Son many more

    Rolling Stones Some Girls - Miss You, Beast of Burden, Shattered

    Barbara Striesand Memories - New York State of Mind, Coming in and Out of Your Life, You Don't Give Me Flowers

    Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits - Folsom Prison Blues, Big River, Sunday Morning Coming Down

    Stevie Ray Vaughn Austin City Limits (I think it was) - Cold Shot, all of them really.

    Beatles - The Beatles (new red album of hits) lots.

    The Temptation's Greatest Hits - Lots, but esp. Papa Was a Rolling Stone, Wish it Would Rain and My Girl

    Roy Orbison's Greatest Hits - Blue Bayou (he and Linda are equals and should have done a duet!) It's Over, Crying

    Martina McBride Evolution - Broken Wing, Wrong Again, Whatever You Say

    Oops, too many and I didn't even get to Tina Turner and What's Love Got to With it or You Better Be Good to Me, or I Don't Want to Fight Anymore. Oh well.

    Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits - Folsom Prison Blues, Big River, Sunday Morning Coming Down


    Hey Grunt,
    i just started a project at Folsom Prison and it got me thinking about J. Cash's old songs. I now drive to work with the radio off singing F. Prison blues, Ring of Fire, Girl from the North Country (with Dylan)and others. I think Cash is underappreciated.
    The Project I just began is a new maximum security wing. Home for the baddest of the bad. Two men housed in a 6' by 8' cell 23 hours a day is a living hell. If they behave, they get 1 hour a day to shower and exercise in an outdoor cage that is just a little more spacious. It gives a whole new meaning to "Give me liberty or give me death.". It also makes the words "I'm stuck in Folsom Prison until I don't know when" come alive.
