ELP was my favorite in High School.Something about .............Just music, it was like I didnt need to hear the words when they played.

I get almost all my new Music from a Company called Tophits U S A. i get every new song that is released to the radio around the same time the Radio Stations get them......About 100 new songs a month.....country,,,hip hhop and adult comtemporary.....It helps because it would be impossible to keep up with the requests without it....I dont know what to buy,,but when they request it,,I usually have it

Being a dj I guess you have to stay really up to date on the music you use Mr.Wildflower?

What a surprise to encounter some more folks into the "prog rock" of yesteryear. Yes, ELP, Genesis, Kansas - all favorite bands of mine and apparently others in St. Louis, too! And, jwstl, I agree 1000% on getting out in the woods! It's nature that most folks just don't appreciate enough, and it's a happy feeling just getting out there and experiencing it.

Along the lines of prog rock, I thought it was dead until I recently discovered some new bands still doing similar stuff: Check our The Flower Kins ("Space Revolver" and "Paradox Hotel" in particular), Kapia, IQ, and Spock's Beard "V" for starters! And lo and behold, even a band from Chatanooga, Tennessee called Glass Hammer really makes some beautiful rock - check out "The Inconsolable Secret". You probably won't find these at the local WalMart, however, but most online stores/services have them! Just wanted to pass this on to others of similar interests!

P.S. Be CAREFUL when downloading music - make sure it's LEGAL, not because I care about the RIAA (just a bunch of wealthy music tycoons) but they are REALLY going after abusers and they will try to track you down and sue you if you're not careful!

well i use to use limewire until it started messing up my puter..computer tech said not to use it because the file you download could have a virus and infect your puter so now we use itunes...

I use itunes.... I do not like the sharing sites... It is way too easy to retrieve a virus off of those sites.....

Limewire

Any file sharing system that opens your computer to access from others is prone to viruses and other technical attacks. So, use Limewire and all shareware with caution - that's my take after 20 years in PC tech support.

And Norton or McAfee anti-virus, while not perfect and a bit anti-performance (your system will slow as they check every darn thing you do or load for viruses), are prefectly fine for protecting your system and I recommend one of them. Just keep them up-to-date with the automatic Update features (i.e. Live Update, etc.).

Of course, I also recommend buying computers from reputable manufacturers!
