I wanna get some Peter Gabriel but never know where to
start, i don't like Genesis Much though.

I heard he's contributing a song for the new Myst game

well, you've come to the right place man... if you want more
artier rock, check out his first few albums (haven't heard
the first two myself, but this is what I hear... and the
third one qualifies as this)... if you like more world music
influenced check out Security and Passion... Passion is a
soundtrack with no lyrics, and is real gorgeous, so you
might like that... but it's totally different from his other
stuff... and Us and Up are both very good... Us is all about
relationships, and has a more world music flavour too...

So is his most popular, and has the hits and stuff... and
it's also very good... there you go! :)

peter gabriel is kind of too serious music...i need
something fun/funny/silly.
therefore the spice girls came to mind.

do you know Steely Dan? If not, check out their album Aja...
it's awesome summer music!

and the name Steely Dan comes from the name of a dildo...
so, you know they're not too serious...

'Garbage' is good pop, Stupid Girl and Only Happy When It
Rains are great 90's pop tracks.

Peg was fairly popular... ummm, they're from the 70's like I
said, so I'm not sure of their huge hits... but Peg was one
I think...

i'll make some summer compilations...and i was thinking i'd
get some of these big hits everyone knows and rearange them
a little (not much, they must be recognizable)...to listen
to at parties, car...where ever :)

Passion, thanks.

I think Through the Wire by Kanye West is just about the
best single this summer, personally... you could download
that... the lyrics are pretty funny I think... and it has a
good beat!

also, if you like Passion check out The Long Walk Home...
it's another soundtrack in the same vein... but whereas
Passion is more middle eastern sounding, The Long Walk Home
is more Australian sounding... both are very good though!

something...

funkmaster is taking this way too intellectually, imo
i understand it has to have aqua-like quality or so

come on, that song is far from intellectual... same with
Steely Dan... ok, PEter Gabriel is more serious, but I
suggested him more as a joke...

black eyed peas were good until that got that ugly chick in
the band and then everyone started liking them

usher just blows

You might want to look into Big boi's "the way you move" or
Andre 3000's "hey ya" from outkast

maybe because im not? :)

my grandparents lived in italy, and, well, the place where
they live now, is just couple of minutes away from italy,
but the whole area is very influenced by italians as it used
to be italy there. and when i was a kid i spent a lot of my
vacations there, and we could only watch italian tv there,
so i picked up a lot of it in my youth + i've learnt it
later and uni...ahh, i can barely speak it nowdays, although
i used to speak and write really good.
