John Denver-annie's song

I never knew people other than me listen to Country here..

 

i do...i love john denver.........
dont mind shania twain either....

 

do you have the Wildlife concert DVD?? Check it out.. Amazing stuff..

 

@ Jayanth

before i converted to metal, I used to listen to a lot of folk and country music and John Denver used to be one of my favourites. I still dont mind listening to some of his best stuff like country roads, annie's song, sunshine on my shoulders, leaving on a jet plane etc...

 

Jetplane is Amazing.. I like Rock Mountain, Follow me and stuff. .Sunday mornings are the best time for Country music..

 

For me, I usually listen to country music when I'm particularly sad with life. Either country music or doom metal.

 

ok, here's my 2 cents acc to what i can recall right now:

aerosmith - dream on
bryan adams - into the fire
gnr - sweet child
kansas - dust in the wind
led zeppelin - kashmir
led zeppelin - stairway to heaven
led zeppelin - ten years gone
led zeppelin - the rain song
scorpions - wind of change
u2 - i still haven't found
u2 - one
u2 - stuck in a moment
u2 - where the streets have no names

many others... then many hindi songs i've loved over the years.

 

i do like country too... after indulging the extreme sophistication of the urban music, u do sometimes find it a refreshing change to switch to simpler things for awhile.

 

how bout vincent by don mclean..
btw i guess the solo at the begining of aersosmith-angel kicks ass..
and the one after the first verse in poison-every rose has its thorn

 

Country is cheerful.. Dream On is amazing.. I forgot that..

 

Have you heard Yangwie play Dream On?? Its on a Tribute album called Not The Same Old SOng And Dance.. Only 50000 Copies were produced and i'm a Proud owner of one..

 

again.... i shd put this on the jayanth fanclub!!

btw i havent heard that record u mention.

all i know is that i haven't ever heard steve tyler sing better than he did on dream on.
