I was reading the blog called The City is a drag . . . . by Megan Johnson (who did the guest post Ten Unfricking believable Covers). Her blog post was called 7 Artists, which was a random selection of music questions, which I decided to answer.
Pick seven artists/bands that you love (in no particular order) before reading the questions:
1. Otis Redding
2. Aerosmith
3. Queen
4. Amos Lee
5. 3 Doors Down
6. Lynyrd Skynyrd
7. Seasick Steve
What was the first song you ever heard by 1? (Otis Redding)
It was Dock of the Bay. It was on a soul compilation my mum played when I was a child.
What is your favourite song of 7? (Seasick Steve)
Tough choice, so many, but at this moment in time I will say Dog House Boogie (from Dog House Music)
What kind of impact has 1 left on your life? (Otis Redding)
First of all, Otis was the artist that made me adore Soul music, his vocals were amazing. Also, words can’t describe how much I adore Dock of the Bay! One of the greatest songs ever made!
What are your favourite lyrics of 5? (3 Doors Down)
Not sure, but top of my head will say the following from song “Here Without You”
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.
How many times have you seen 4 live? (Amos Lee)
None! But someday I will, hopefully!!!
What is your favourite song by 6? (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Simple Man, the lyrics are a lesson on how to live life.
Is there a song by 3 that makes you sad? (Queen)
Show Must Go On, makes me think of people that are no longer with me.
What is your favourite song by 2? (Aerosmith)
This is easy, it is CRAZY!!! First saw the video for this and thought “this is a good song, but the video is better”. But after hearing the song a few dozen times more, I bought Get a Grip and was hooked from there.
When did you first get into 5? (3 Doors Down)
Sounds strange, but it was because of the film American Pie 2. It had the song “Be Like That” which stood out for me and I went out few days to buy the album (A Better Life). From there, I never looked back.
How did you get into 3? (Queen)
They were played a lot by my Step-dad when I was young, which I didn’t mind. But, as I got older I started to appreciate how much of a great band they were.
What is your favourite song by 4? (Amos Lee)
Difficult as every time I listen to his albums I always find a new favourite. At the time of writing this post, I will choose Night Train form Supple and Demand album.
What is a good memory concerning 2? (Aerosmith)
Seeing them live in Paris, its the only time I have seen my favourite band live. Also that same weekend I proposed to my wife (I’m a rocking romantic, what can I say)
Is there a song by 2 that makes you sad? (Aerosmith)
Cry me a River from the album Rock in a Hard Place. Steve Tyler’s vocals are so emotional.
What is your favourite song of 1? (Otis Redding)
As mentioned many times on this post, go on guess . . . . . . . . DOCK OF THE BAY!!!
What song isn’t your favourite of 7? (Seasick Steve)
Can’t think of any, Steve has a vocal that makes it difficult not to like any of his song.
I hope this has given you all an insight into my crazy music mind. The regular readers of my blog would find some answers predictable, but I would call it consistent, ha ha! If you would like to answer any these questions, feel free to leave me some answers.
