Music


Music certainly is the "Language of the World" because one can learn so much about a particular culture by simply listening to it's music; even sub-cultures (a culture within a culture) may even have their own distinct musical style, with influences taken from the main culture. Different regions within a country will undoubtly have their own distinct styles of music as well!

Needless to say, I am quite a music buff! While although I have not listened to much music outside of Western Civilization, I have heard other forms from the various regions and countries of the world. My main focus of musical interest lies in the realm of Classic/Modern Rock and Country & Western styles. The purpose of this page is to accquaint you with the particular artists I listen to on a regular basis, and to show you the extent of my Collection of these particular artists.

Aerosmith

Formed:  1970 Sunapee, New Hampshire, USA

Aerosmith, despite trials and tribulations, are one of hard rock's top acts. 1987's Permanent Vacation marked a come back so strong, that it became one of the band's best-selling works; it also made an impression in the UK. Today, Aerosmith still rocks hard, and is showing no sign of letting up.

Alabama

Formed:  1969 as Wild Country, Fort Payne, Alabama, USA.
Changed name to Alabama in 1977

Alabama is quite possibly the most successful country-rock band in history, and is one of the biggest draws of concert-goers. Alabama has also sold more albums than any other act in country music. These boys still live in Fort Payne, Alabama, USA, (unlike most country acts, who choose to relocate to Nashville) and help their hometown in any way possible. They will certainly remain popular in the new mellinieum.

Garth Brooks

Born:   Troyal Garth Brooks, Febuary 7, 1962 Yukon, Oklahoma, USA

The single most successful artist in all of music, Garth Brooks is responsible for the resurgance and sudden popularity of country music. This artist is known for what is termed "cross over" music, which is country-style music that is played on radio stations of rock-oriented formats. The "G-man" remains firmly on the top rung of the music industry ladder, and it appears he intends on staying there long into the next Century.
