What are you listening to in 2024 ?

Rare Earth is an American rock band from Detroit, Michigan. According to Louder, "Rare Earth's music straddles genres and defies categorisation, slipping seamlessly between the two seemingly disparate worlds of classic rock and R&B."[6] The band was signed to Motown's subsidiary label Rare Earth. Although not the first white band signed to Motown, Rare Earth was the first successful act signed by Motown that consisted only of white members.

What REM songs do you like, SeaBreeze? I loooooooooooooove "Orange Crush"! I know all the lyrics, even the spoken part. I like "Losing My Religion" too. And "Leaving New York" is so pretty. I like that ironic one, "The One i Love." Great band, agreed!

The soundtrack to my favorite dance film "Amelia" features songs by Lou Reed, but reimagined by David Lang. It's online. The dancing is very intense and you may find it zany, but it's interesting to hear the songs. "I'm Waiting for my Man" is the first song.

I just read the other day that She hated this song and didn't want to do it......

"When Warren played the finished song to Arista Records' future president (2000-2004) L.A. Reid, he thought it would fit Braxton's then upcoming album. When "Un-Break My Heart" was sent to Braxton, she expressed dislike for the song. According to Warren, "Toni hated the song. She didn't want to do it." Reid was able to convince Braxton to record it, and it later became her signature song."

""Un-Break My Heart" attained commercial success worldwide. In the United States, the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed a total of eleven weeks, while reaching the same position on the Hot Dance Club Songs and Adult Contemporary component charts. When Billboard celebrated their 40 years charting from 1958 to 1998, the song was declared as the most successful song by a solo artist in the Billboard Hot 100 history."

at one time we wished she hadn't done it either, because it was played to the death on the radio, and in stores, and wherever we seemed to go... people began to hate it...

Monday, Monday by the Mamas and the Papas was like that when it came out. It was played every 10 or 20 minutes in the radio. I still don't like Monday, Monday.

I agree Unbreak My Heart can really get annoying when played again and again.
