  • Scooter Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    Everybody has some bands or artists that they listen to but all their friends, family, people they talk to hate. Scooter are one of those bands for me and I think I only have one friend who can tolerate them for more than a song or two and that's only because he likes the genre of music.
  • Squeeze Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    I started listening to Squeeze when I was about 7 or 8 because I remember buying Take Me I'm Yours at a flea market (I used to go to look for old original records) for about 25p on cassette single, and I remember buying it just because I liked the cover art. At another flea market pretty soon after I got the Squeeze album for about 75p and ever since then have loved their music.
  • Fleetwood Mac Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    I probably started listening to Fleetwood Mac when I was about 10, 11 or something like that because I remember getting their Greatest Hits album and it had only just been released and at the time I didn't really know who they were but because I always listen to all sorts of music people just used to buy me music instead of toys. When I listened to it I knew most of the tracks and I now think of it as one of my top 20 albums of all time.
  • Blur Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    I have liked Blur since before they became popular after the release of their Parklife album which most people think was their first. Back in the day there was a big band battle between Blur and Oasis and most people chose one or the other but I chose both. Both bands have different styles and I think Blur made some good music.
  • Iron Maiden Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    The song Charlotte the Harlot probably started me listening to Iron Maiden more than just hearing them on the radio because (and I know this is mean) when I was at school back in the day there was a girl I knew called Charlotte and I used to call her Charlotte the Harlot because of knowing the song. This was really when I was a little kid of about 8 and I actually ended up having her as a girlfriend when I was about 14, so it all worked out ok in the end.
  • Blondie Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    There were two main reasons I started listening to Blondie and they were: first I thought Debbie Harry was amazingly beautiful and second the style of music they made. At the time I got into Blondie I was listening to a lot of punk and new wave stuff like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Sham 69, The Exploited, Ramones, Ian Dury, The Stranglers, etc... and it also helped me to annoy my parents. I actually used to like putting posters on my wall when I was a kid at school and one of my posters was a full size poster of Debbie Harry.
  • The Smiths Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    The Smiths are another of my favourite Manchester bands and as I have said before, you have to support your own. I think I initially started listening to The Smiths when What Difference Does It Make came out in 1983 and I thought Morrissey had one of the most interesting voices and lyrical styles which were not the usual sort popular at the time. Some people think that The Smiths were a depressing band with very boring lyrics but I think I connected with them because of that. I like to be unique and different which I think is reflected by some of the music I listen to. I do think some of the songs contain very emotional lyrics but I wouldn't say they were too depressing or boring and actually quite funny.
  • Texas Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    I have liked Texas ever since they released their first single (I Don't Want A Lover) while I was still at school. At the time I was still listening to "pop" music and the charts on the radio regularly (which I don't do much anymore) and I thought Sharleen had one of the best female singing voices I have ever heard. Usually when out at a party or at the pub and a DJ is on you are restricted by the music they carry but you can bet on the fact they will have at least one Texas song on a cd somewhere, so I generally ask them to play it because mostly they dont have some of my other favourite music (The doors, Jimi Hendrix, Wu-Tang, etc...) which I would probably request otherwise.
  • Pink Floyd Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    I think I probably started listening to Pink Floyd because I used to chill with some dudes who smoked weed and used to play Floyd a lot and I found the music is really good to listen to when you are stoned. Pink floyd are a kind of psychedelic rock cross breed and their lyrics are quite deep and philosophical.
  • Traveling Wilburys Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    The Traveling Wilburys are not only one of my favourite groups because they made some very good music but also because the group consisted of some of my favourite artists. I started listening to The Traveling Wilburys when I was about 15 when my nanna got me a harmonica because I love the sound it makes and I was into Bob Dylan. The harmonica is one of the instruments I can actually play and I still have the harmonica my nanna gave me to this day and still play it occasionally.
  • Enigma Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    I first started listening to Enigma about the time Return To Innocence was released and was played on the radio a lot. Most people I know don't listen to Enigma because they just don't know about them. Most people think they have never of heard them until you tell them some of their songs. Enigma are an electronic trance group and started a completely new music genre, Enigmatic Music.
  • Jimi Hendrix Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    I have listened to Jimi Hendrix since I can remember and he was probably the first person I ever wanted to be when I was a kid. I love the guitar but I can play it about as much as I can walk on the moon. When I was much younger I attempted to take guitar lessons, but I didn't have my own guitar and had to use my dads. The problem with that is, I'm left handed and my dad right handed and so we had to keep switching the strings about which my dad moaned at. There was no way I could play the guitar left handed like Jimi Hendrix so I eventually gave up and decided to appreciate the guitar skills in others and focus my energy on other things.

  • The Beatles Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    Being from Manchester which is quite close to Liverpool there is some local rivalry (especially between Manchester United F.C. and Liverpool F.C.) between the two towns and as such I generally support the Manchester bands first, but I think the whole world likes The Beatles even if they won't admit it. The Beatles are the most successful of any bands, ever.
  • Pet Shop Boys Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    When I was a kid I had heard the Pet Shop Boys on the radio whenever new singles had been released but it wasn't until I was about 14 or 15 when I started to take more of an interest in their music. This was because I had never taken the time to listen to more than one song at a time. I used to chill with a group of dudes at my friend chicken's house and he had the Pet Shop Boys Discography album and used to play it and the more times I heard it the better it became. I have most Pet Shop Boys albums now and listen to them on a regular basis.
  • The Stone Roses Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    I started listening to The Stone roses while I was still at school, back in the day, when the whole Madchester scene was going on and there were a lot of Manchester Indie bands fighting it out in the clubs. I was too young to go and watch the Stone Roses legally and was actually sneaked into the Hacienda in Manchester to watch them perform. This was one of the first times I was in a room full of people on drugs. The place was alive and the music was pumping and the sweat was dripping. This was one of the most exciting and enjoyable gig's I have ever experienced.

    Free chords are illustrated in the customary musical notation and tablature, also known as tabs. "Teach Yourself Visually" gives you the help you need to read chord charts, tablature and lead sheets. I prefer this method because you can download individual songs with tablature one at a time as opposed to buying the whole songbook.
  • Bob Marley Biography And Top 10 Songs  By : Andy Jackson - Wisdom_Mcr
    Bob Marley has been one of my favourite artists for a long time. I probably own more Bob Marley CD's than any other band or artist with the exception of Wu-Tang. My friends mum D, is partly responsible for my listening to Bob over the years because when I was little I used to like the song Jammin' and used to play the 45 single I had of it all the time and I had got the single off her. I would say I have a Bob CD in my stereo 90% of the time (it can have 3 in at a time). Bob not only made good music but also the messages that the lyrics were about were of peace and freedom.
  • Lyrics - The Backbone of a Song  By : Alexandru.21 Cimpoca Bulac.23
    There are different ideas to what the term: "Social music" really means; for some it's the whole concept of music played and shared with other humans while traveling from one point to the next one; for others it refers to the music indulged by a determined group of individuals who share a little bit more than the taste for that particular genre and to the rest is the music that is played at specific celebrations.

    Regardless of the true meaning of "Social music" there is no better way to excel at it than to treat it with the respect that all music deserve and demand in order to be successful.
