Inquiring Minds Might Want To Know:
My tastes in music are eclectic to say the least, although I do tend to lean toward blues- and jazz-influenced music. Also, as a fair heads up, I don’t have any formal music training, save just enough piano and guitar lessons to have an immense respect for those who play well. I just try to write about what I like and what I think you should hear. That said, I hope you enjoy what you hear and find something new.
My Favorites:
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had at least 3 books of CDs floating around, and one of them has always had my favorites in it for easy access. Sometimes albums will come and go from that book as I go through phases, but there are a select few that have been in that book from the day I got them, and those are the albums on this list. If you want to get a feel for my taste in music, this is about the best guideline I can give you. Don’t think this list is exclusive, though, a lot of things I do truly enjoy may not be represented as well as I would like. As Brad Nowell said, “Good music is good music and that should be enough for anyone.”

Hi Sarah!
I like electric a lot too. I like good rock lead the most. Some of the songs you mention are my favorites too. Like: Abbey Road - The Beatles, Harvest Moon - Neil Young, Dookie - Green Day. I like to write my own tunes also I have been doing for nearly 30 years now.

Take care

haha, Tim B. Miller thought you said electric. It’s weird, I’m into eclectic music but not that type. I’m more Radiohead or Pixies. Opeth. Yeah, Opeth is the best band to come out of our time, if you’re into metal that is.
