Your Deepest Musical Secret (lead singer, genre, Savage Garden, solo, quote)

The things that some people might be slightly ashamed of others might find totally rad. So here it goes, I am a punk rocker but I love my 90's dance music. Phew! That took about 10 minutes to finish typing.

Its really ok to play one kind of music and listen to another! It probably will actually make you better in the long run, anyways!

true dat- I listen to Barry Manilow

LOL I have Ultimate Manilow. For that kind of music- cheesy love songs- he's one of the best. Sometimes I'm just in a mood to listen to that stuff.

Manilow was a genius songwriter out of Williasmburg Brooklyn-- paid all his
dues 1st as a jingle writer for commercials that we still hear today...collecting royalties like crazy his entire life:
some of his more "popular" songs are 30 second hits you've been
singing since a kid...some examples would be>>
1) "I am stuck on band-aids 'cause band-aids stuck on me...."
2) "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there..."
3) "My baloney has a first name ..it's O S C A R ...."

I wouldn't consider that a 'secret' - he's a living blueprint for so many artists

...wouldn't exactly call him a genius if commercial jingles are the best things he's produced.

Hear ya...maybe a better term would be "financial genius" in terms
of business art...as if not successful one would quickly be 'out of business' --

What I am getting at is that from a music publishing POV it is a wise
move to do jingles as the publishing licenses are scalable especially when
we're taking about jingles that have survived from the 70s and are stile viable today in this frenetic and capricious music market where commercials and sound bytes are the big money winners since they rely on licensing deals and not CD sales.

Manilow though ( my god I am embarassed to say this ) is a great performer I saw him in Las Vegas many times. His piano skills are up there with Elton John.

"Head Over Heals" by Tears for Fears is my favorite song of all-time.

My secret is that I've only really gotten into music quite recently. I feel a little nauseated when I think of all the years lost. I have so much catching up to do.
