Non-Classical Music Listening Thread!

[JBS]

Beginning my foray into the only genre, thus far, to not draw me in: Country - Robbin's Gunfighter Ballads



So, I started with something I already like - thanks to New Vegas, the true test will be when I find a "pop" country artist I can enjoy, but best to start on a positive note, I think. :-)

Going by the complaints* I see, the general rule seems to be, the more "pop", the less "country". And indeed the country songs I seem to care about are the least "country" in terms of sticking to the genre.
Except for this one

*Perhaps more precisely, whining by middle-aged white guys who are mad that younger people pay attention to and are influenced by all the other music that's out there.

Tangerine Dream - Cyclone

Years ago when I was getting into Tangerine Dream, I was told many fans dislike this album, but I have to say I like it quite a lot.

The Essential Judas Priest

Had to check the track listening.  That is one of the better compilations I've seen, with no material omissions.  It's on par in that respect with the John Denver equivalent.

I love that album. It has been a long time, I'll have to give it a listen. Every single song is excellent.

About time I try that out.
