I've been on an Eminem kick lately. I'm reliving my angry teenage years. I started with Eminem back with Slim Shady LP late 90's early 00's I would say. Stuck with him up through Eminem Show. I guess go tired of being angry. I never bought an album after that. I still enjoy Marshal Mathers LP the most, as far as any album in it's entirety. There are songs from other albums that I like, but that's the most rounded album to me. But, Stan, Sing For The Moment, and Love The Way You Lie, I think are about the most thought provoking of his music, with a message that's more than just anger and cursing. I still think he's a good artist based on samples of his latter albums, but not enough that I'd put money into them. But then rap/hip-hop as a whole hasn't been a genre that I've visited much since the 90's. |

I agree with all of the points you've made. The earlier albums were very angry but definitely struck a cord with me.. He's toned down a lot but has still come out with some very moving songs with great lyrics. Other then him I also haven't paid full attention or really any to rap/hip hop. I bought early DMX, 50 Cent and all D12. 2Pac and Notorious BIG are still faves but I haven't listened to rap or hip hop regularly since I was 17. |

With youtube, I guess I really don't have an excuse not to at least give it a try. And yeah, there was a time when his music spoke to me, and that's why I liked it. His timing was great in that I was on my own and not restricted by the rules of my folks house as to what I can do/listen to/watch. I liked Biggie, but not much of a fan of 2Pac. Some of my favorites of that time were Boogiemonsters, DJ Magic Mike, Tribe Called Quest, Mack 10, Dre, Ice Cube, Craig Mack, Too Short, Warren G, Nelly and Cypress Hill, among many one hit songs. About what appealed to me was anything but gangster rap. One of few artists I've liked music of in the genre now is Wiz Khalifa. |

Because the word "enchanted" was mentioned in the Books thread I was just reading:
I was actually looking for the Blue Oyster Cult album in order to make some kind of joke that I can't even remember now, but when I saw this one I remembered how much I like the song.

My iPod got wiped the other day. I think the battery is past due for a replacement. So I loaded a bunch of new music onto it today. The bulk of it is 2Pac and R. Kelly, but I also have Sting, Sublime, Guns N Roses, Rage Against The Machine, James Brown, and I already forgot what else on there. I keep it on shuffle all day.

Sheena Easton's - For Your Eyes Only
One of my favorite James Bond's Theme Song ... And, she is one of my favorite singers as well.

Sitting in Starbucks, enjoying a free cup of coffee due to a gift card, with "When Doves Cry" by Prince plays on their system.
It's a good day.

I see you and I share a musical wavelength. \﹏/ (>_<) \﹏/ I'm listening to Lacuna Coil, but now I'm going to look for some more of this Toxic Holocaust band. What a charming group of fellows. |
