Mel Torme is one of the great jazz singers. I have only listened to him a bit long ago, but he is no one to be embarrassed about liking!RonKiley wrote:Ok some of you have confessed to some terrible things but I not only like Danny Boy I am a fan of Mel Torme.
As for Danny Boy, it depends on who's singing it.

How about Melanie's "I've Got a Brand New Pair of Roller-skates"... my skin crawls every time I hear it... yet I always listen closely.

No one should ever feel ashamed for listening to the Beatles. Although I have to admit that I have never tried to play their music on my whistle....Tommy wrote:''The Beatles'' I try to play some of their music on my whistle. Please don't tell the ITM police.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

'Abndoned Luncheonette' is a pretty doggone good album. Before they got popular and hit oriented.ISU Trout Bum wrote:UGH - I am very embarased to admit this, but here goes. "Sara Smile" and "She's Gone" by . . . . . . Hall & Oats.

Nothin' wrong with being a Mel Torme fan...I'm one too. My fav of his is so cliche that that's what I'm almost embarrassed to admit; I looove his rendition of Stardust.Joseph E.

No, he's much worse than that.Tony wrote:Wombat's from Australia... I thought Wagner might have been a musicial group from 'down unda' you know.. like The Wiggles...
I was more than half serious. His antisemitism alone would be a serious turn off although if you only appreciate art by people you morally approve of that could narrow the field to the point where there is hardly anybody else bar the Singing Nun. (Whatever happened to her?) What I hate about Wagner most is his music: triumphal, self-satisfied, bombastic, meglamaniacal, oozing all that is worst in European culture. Yuk. Of course, you might find it technically brilliant but I find the things I don't like getting in the road of things I would like if they served a more modest aesthetic vision.

Nope Wombat. 'Fraid we're going to have to nix her too. Dominique, after all, praises the suppression of the Albigensians during a Catholic inquisition, and therefore must be reviled by any DaVinci Code adherents who believe in that the Cathars were protectors of the truth.Wombat wrote:...if you only appreciate art by people you morally approve of that could narrow the field to the point where there is hardly anybody else bar the Singing Nun...
