God I could go on and on,,,,,,,, Im all over the place really.
Probaly my fave bands of all time are The Cure and Motley Crue. Any of the 80s new wave stuff ( love Duran Duran). Any one ever hear of Skinny Puppy?
Ooh I also love Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack, Coctue Twins, Any of the Hollywood Glam stuff ( I tend to dig the more bluesy ones tho, La Guns, CInderella on Heartbreak STation almost had a country feel and a highly underated band. ) ANy one every hear of the Church ? They had a hit in 1988 with Under the Milky Way , fabulous song............
Oingo Boingo and Danny Elfman .............
Depeche Mode..........

Would about songs that I sing in the shower? I guarantee that you have not heard of any of them. Atleast not my butchered up versions of them anyway.

Mexican singer Lilia Downs...despite being a Grammy winner and an Oscar nominated artist for Best Song...she's practically unknown (or ignored) by the masses in Mexico...she has a bigger overseas following...





She's of Mexican, Scottish, English ancestry.

Lila Downs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amazing and haunting singer...she sings traditional ranchera music, jazz, and very unique Native-American songs.

Example...listen to this beautiful regional song sang in an original indigenous Zapotec language...very beautiful song...and beautifully interpreted...

YouTube - LILA DOWNS-Tirineni Tsitsiki

And here are more traditional Mexican songs...

YouTube - Lila Downs - Paloma Negra (Madrid en vivo)

YouTube - Lila Downs - La llorona (En Madrid)

Here she is singing at the Academy Awards with Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso...

Here she is being interviewed on the red carpet...

YouTube - Lila Downs Red Carpet Interview

Mexicans are idiots...they prefer that drug trafficking garbage banda music being played to death everywhere down there...and ignoring real artists like Lila Downs...bunch of imbeciles.

This is what they love...unreal...friggin' unreal...

Coolness! I like her music as well and I bet you thought no one else would have heard of her here.

Since you are into Loreena, you might also like Laura Power's music.

I thought someone might have heard Bonny Portmore from Highlander, just may not have known who the artist was. Laura Power has a nice sound. Thanks for the link.

I love the music of Loreena McKennitt. One of my faves is "The Mummer's Dance". (this was also the theme song for the UPN series "The Legacy".)

I also really like "Skellig". It's so sad though:
