Oh boy - that's a toughy... my husband and I have completely different tastes in music. It's hard for us to find songs we both like. I'll have to think on this, but I know there has to be something!

*romatic music, hmmmm...*

[Karenluvs6]

most anything from Sammy Kershaw and some of Garth Brooks stuff.
I like Martina MCBride.....she has some nice songs.

[Debby]

My husband and I also have very opposite tastes in music...one valentines day I came home and found a note saying to play the tape that was in the machine...it was a Led Zepplin love song, can't think of the name right off, but it had something to do with climbing any mountain or something like that....not my idea of romantic, but yet it was, because he thought it was (does that make sense?)

[In_His_Shadow]

That makes perfect sense Debby. We sometimes over look the things our husbands do for us because it's not wrapped in the package we are expecting.

Favs for me are Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk" and Ravel's "Bolero". And an old, old one called "I Wanna Be Loved" - can't remember the singer. Yummy!

Most romantic probrably anything jazz and slow. favorites at the moment are Brian McKnight and Sade.

Sad music- hmm well one song that will always make me cry is Make Me Whole by Amel Larrieux- but not tears of sadness tears of joy :)

I know what you mean, Debby. I grew up as a "pop music" listener, and my husband always loved rock music (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd).

One thing that keeps my mom and my husband getting along great is they both list their favorite albums as Pink Floyd's "The Wall." (Yes, I have a weird mother, so sue me.)

Aaaanyway, I never liked it when my mom would play it really loud when I was a teen. But when my husband started playing it on car trips while we were dating, he'd sing along (if you can call it "singing"), and he'd be SO into it that I had to find it adorable.

Now I love that album, and any time I hear one of those songs on the classic rock station here, I think of him and can see him eagerly singing his heart out behind the wheel, grinning like a kid and trying to impress me. LOL! So cute!

Debbie,

I'll venture to guess the song your hubby played was "Thank You."

"If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. Mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me."

Jason and I are lucky enough to like most of the same kinds of music. We like to sit and listen to Mariah Carey sometimes :) Which reminds me, we haven't had a Mariah night in awhile. I think it's time for one... {love}

I'll never forget the time when Jason sang a kareoke (sp?)song for me. We had been going thru some very very rough times and were close to divorce. One night he sang "To Make You Feel My Love" by Garth Brooks. At the time I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have. But months later one morning when I was driving home after we had reconciled, I heard the song on the radio and started crying - I had all but forgotten him singing it to me. Now I STILL cry when I hear it! {bawling} What a guy.

Two sad ones come to mind:

"100 feet to Mary Ann" (I think) Jim Reeves and
"Green, Green Grass of Home" {gfrown}

[Freezerwaffle]

100 feet to Maryann?? What, is she 100 feet under or is she a centipede???

{redblob}

[Debby]

Military Mom.....That was it!!! Thank YOU for reminding me! :)

[MumsyDee]

To my darling daughter, Freezerwaffle....you MUST remember my Jim Reeves songs! it was about a cowboy on his horse on his way home through a snowstorm. {frosty} he and the horse froze to death 100 feet from home - and his wife, Mary ann. Sad, Sad song! {bawling}.

[Debby]

Hmmmmmmm, never heard it.

By the way...she's your daughter? Cool...didn't know that. :)

[MumsyDee]

Yes, Debby, that notorious little twirp, Freezerwaffle, is my beloved youngest child! {mm}

[Freezerwaffle]

{hat} If he was only 100 feet away from Maryann, why didn't she get out there with pot of hot soup or something?

She must have had a big insurance policy out on him AND the horse. {redblob}

[MumsyDee]

Well now, the little {angel}, Mary Ann, probably had an {anon} dude visiting and didn't bother to look out into the dead of a whiteout {frosty} night. {blues} The {evil} visitor planned the cowboys death to win the now rich widow's hand. {pukeface}

By the way, does anyone remember Roy Hamilton? I had an album by him with songs such as "Beware", "Ebb Tide". I tried to find a CD of his music through BMG Music Service and they don't recognize him as an artist! Sure would like to find it...

BMG also didn't recognize the sax artist, Earl Bostic. Would like to get his album as well. The album was called either "The Fabulous Fifties" or "The Fantastic Fifties". Freezerwaffle probably remembers both of these albums from her childhood.

For the most part, I am very happy with my BMG! If any of you are interested in them, I get 4 free CD's for referring and you get 12 CD's for joining. I just replaced my old cassette by Kraftwerk with "Autobahn" on it and Holst's "The Planets" with CDs!

[Freezerwaffle]

Sorry Mumsy! I don't remember those albums. (Hey, I didn't come into the picture til the mid 60
s!) What I remember from childhood was showtoons, Streisand & my big brothers Doors music.

I {love} you Mumsy!

(p.s. how come you didn't use your FULL name here? MumsyDoodles would have fit perfectly here! )
