    Music snobs are second only to wine snobs in their annoyingness !

    (some good songs listed here though).
    strange comment ... if people have heard of a song and it does 'make the hairs on ones neck stand up', why does that make them a music snob?

    The "today I will be listening to" thread definitely seemed to be for obscure songs. That's partly why I got this thread going again.
    Still, some cracking choices amongst them. Keep them coming. I've researched a few, but some Lifers are certainly showing their age including me.
    That said, J J Cale Don't Cry Sister is an obscure 1979 classic.
    10 years after I was born, but I was introduced to Cale in the early 90s when I started listening to Eric Clapton. Clapton covered one of his songs and I learned about the connection.
    I would recommend anyone checking out J J especially if you want to chill out.
    and long may it continue ... I have come across a lot of music I wouldn't have known about it if wasn't for that thread

    I will say that as with art, I like what I like with music,and I imagine it's the same for most. A lot of what I like is reviled by my friends and Mrs Shabby, so I own headphones now. If anyone wants to start a thread about music that raises their hackles (there's one in the charts here about some woman demanding to be strung up from chandellier) I will happily fill it with chart music. That's just me ;-)

    Spot on KS, it's a personal thing
    I long ago came to terms with the fact that I like Bob Dylan but I can still like Adam Ant

    There's nothing better than listening to 'hoppipola' by 'Sigur Ros' whilst drinking a lovely glass of El Somo Rioja, Reserva 2009. I find that the Cherry and Vanilla notes of the wine really compliment the Avant-Garde and experimental nature of this Icelandic track as it attempts to break into mainstream.
