stoutfellowI feel the need for more music.
I've been thinking about my CD collection, and noticing some definite gaps that need filling.
I have a Billie Holiday album, but nothing by Ella Fitzgerald.
I have a Kingston Trio album, but it doesn't have "Tom Dooley", and I'm not satisfied with the recordings of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "When the Saints Go Marching In".
I have a three-disc set of Gene Pitney's songs, but none of them include "E Se Domani", "Hawaii", "The Last Two People On Earth", "Garden of Love", "Walk", or "Follow the Sun".
My Petula Clark album is excellent, but it doesn't have "Two Rivers".
I don't have anything by the Beatles, and my one Stones album doesn't have "Satisfaction" or "Kicks".
I don't have any early Joe Cocker.
I have one Linda Ronstadt album, but not "Blue Bayou" or any of her work with the Stone Poneys.
I need more Moody Blues and Carole King.
I don't have anything by Blood, Sweat and Tears.
America, Boston, Chicago and Kansas are missing.
I want some Cyndi Lauper, Mister Mister, and Mike & the Mechanics. Spandau Ballet. Mannheim Steamroller. Whatsername who sang "99 Luftballoons". (Ed.: Nena. Thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Dolly Parton. Skeeter Davis. Tammy Wynette. Patsy Cline.
More Al Stewart. More Heart.

When we merged our collections, Charlie Daniels, Billy Joel, & Jim Croce were among the duplicates, which gave me greater hope for the success of the union, since I hadn't suspected we had so much in common. :)
Music, rather like tv, definitely falls into the "yours, mine, & ours" categories. "His" includes most heavy metal [although I do tend to like the ballads & some of the songs with more rock & less rauc{-ousness}], "mine" includes most celtic & filk, & "ours" includes Moody Blues, humorous & political filk, & celtic stuff that rocks [Emerald Rose--http://www.emeraldrose.com/, etc.].
Andres Segovia is the dead Spanish guitar dude, who majorly rocks. Julian Bream [on lute & other stringed things] is pretty good too. Don't forget Santana. Or Austin Lounge Lizards. Or...
It's still cool that you like so much of the same music we enjoy.
