Gonna take a peak! Think I've seen them before!
 
Loving this tribute to Otis!

Brings back such vivid memories of playing Otis blue on my brother's dansette!
 
My Cd collection ranges from Robert Johnson to George Ezra and loads in between. I don't specifically like any particular genres. I just like what I like.

If you research your music, most of the dance comes from 60s music, trance comes from the flower movement or psychedelic era.

Disco music from the States or Nortern soul is what the beat and rhythm for all dance trends.
A lot of modern chartvtoppers are covers from the 60s, 70's!

Love some of the 90's stuff, but as Nosher says, a lot comes from the 60's, Soft Cells Tainted love, from Northern Soul. Like a huge deep rooted tree, that branches our and gets caught by ' a new take on' and it's often the old classic's :)

I was glued to the screen watching Otis Redding tonight and how our country embraced him them in the 1960's and his music and we didn't see the second class 'coloured's' as they were in the USA and it influenced them so much, gave them the confidence to stand tall and upright when they went back to USA and to Stax. So sad that he died so young, just 26, just tragic :( One of the greats :)

You seen on that documentary the true mods of the sixties embracing diversity of all races. Not how the media want you to see it.
Otis Redding and stax and Motown's Berry Gordy Jr. Tired to break down the wall of racism through the music.

It was brilliant!

BBC4 do have some brilliant music programmes on, but I wish they'd show if it is a repeat or not like they do on the other channels.:D
 
I like most types of music apart from" messy jazz". I'm going to see Fleetwood Mac on Monday, a brilliant singer songwriter called Richard Thompson In September, Bob Dylan in October. Just got tickets for Bellowhead's farewell tour in November. Noticed Bryan Ferry is on at the same venue but tickets not on sale yet. I like most stuff from the 60's to the 90's but after that it's a bit of a blank music wise, apart from Gogol Bordello another band I think are great.

Saw Steve Marriotts daughter Molly Marriott on Saturday, what a fantastic singer she is! Very soulful voice, was quite impressed!
 
My son and his mates went up to Manchester last year to see Gogol Bordello. I'd not heard of them at the time but liked what I listened to.
