Certainly isn't. I'm also obsessed with (and I'm not ashamed to admit this) Taylor Swift's early work, and the complete catalogue of Florence and the Machine.
That's so impressively specific. There's only three things I don't like in terms of music. Selection is dependent on the present moment. About 95 percent of the time now, I only listen to whatever sounds are around me.
That's some good shit right there! When I first heard Nina Simone I thought I have a stroke :D
Garbage is just must have on playlist next to Siouxsie And The Banshees.
With Dead Can Dance I can go for weeks, Sean Ryan is too mellow for me tbh, but lovely voice, Nils Petter Molvær is perfectly decadent!
😂 Nina Simone....oh what can I say, yeah, first time I heard her she got me forever.
I've listened to Siouxsie And The Banshees but I don't think I have any of theirs in my collection.
Dead Can Dance are in their own category. Saw them live once and well, of all the concerts I've been to, that was the only one that defies description, other than to say it was like going on a journey while being part of the actual music. Transcending the ordinary. So hard to describe.
Sean Ryan mellow, yes, but as you noted, it's his voice, kind of blew my mind when I heard it. Perhaps if he had the space to develop the way he wants, he'd grow into more.
Nils (NPM) is a new one to me as of last year. I remember listening to his music for a couple minutes (online dj friend) and thinking, Who is this man who makes magic with a trumpet? 😂
I'm afraid to get into a conversation about music because I know that way I'll be stuck on the hive for hours :D
Agree to all what you've said. I actually remember when I've heard Chuck Mangione first time, and it actually hit me, how ingenious trumpet as as musical instrument is and how many ways it can be used by a talented musician:)

Ha! I'm guilty of extended conversations with just about anything. I have always limited how much time in front of a screen to balance that out. Don't know why, something about the tech itself causes me to feel unwell if using it for too long.
Yes, that's right about a trumpet. It's a bit deceptive that's it's just this instrument until it shines in gifted hands. Wind instruments in particular fascinate me, probably because I suck badly when attempting to play them.
Miss Welch is a force of nature. She's a hurricane of a human being and had an incredible aura when I was lucky enough to see her live a few years ago.
Her exploration of water in all her work is fascinating. The historical references, amazing; and the story telling fills my mind with such vivid pictures. It's so inspirational.
I want the song "No Choir" to be played at my funeral one day. Dang it, typing that brought tears to my eyes after going and reading the lyrics. I'm stupid! :D
No worries! I have long lasting crash on Thom York from Radiohead. I admire his compositional talent, how well he plays piano especialy, his lyrics, his stage behaviour.
From time to time I move my admiration to Ian Curtis of Joy Division, and then I come back to Thom again:)
I didn't know it stemmed from that, but in my mind it was more of a philosophical thing like "The Division Bell" from Pink Floyd, et al; like the seperation of life from death, etc.
Certainly isn't. I'm also obsessed with (and I'm not ashamed to admit this) Taylor Swift's early work, and the complete catalogue of Florence and the Machine.
There's much eclectic in my play list.
All I can think of when it comes to Taylor Swift is red dress. Florence and the Machine is a yes.
Garbage?
Dead Can Dance?
Nina Simone?
Nils Petter Molvær?
Sean Ryan, particularly with ATB?
Garbage = Yes
The rest of your list, haven't heard of at all.
The rest of the list, if you like trumpet, well, this man, Nils Petter Molvaer, has some kind of magic going on and literally makes his trumpet talk.
I'm a sucker for vocals and especially, the minor d scale, particularly when played on a guitar :D
That's why metal dominates - it uses that scale a lot.
That's so impressively specific. There's only three things I don't like in terms of music. Selection is dependent on the present moment. About 95 percent of the time now, I only listen to whatever sounds are around me.
I'm no student of music but once I realised what it was I liked, I had to identify and classify it. It must be the data analyst in me.

I really enjoy conversations that lead to surreal, crazy conclusions:)
It is an extremely difficult instrument actually, and it requires a great deal of breathing exercises and stuff, so don't give up, you'll get there!
I don't really understand the Tylor Swift hype. I like Florence though. 'Heavy in my arms' I think it was first song I have heard form her :)

But Florence is indeed something!
I'm a creep, I'm a weird-ooooo
What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here...
I like the name more than the music :D
Mark me if you will, it will not change my feelings!
Joy Division - have you heard the story of the name - it is quite gruesome...
Wow, I just looked that up, and what a story.
I didn't know it stemmed from that, but in my mind it was more of a philosophical thing like "The Division Bell" from Pink Floyd, et al; like the seperation of life from death, etc.
