So, what CD did I buy?

Right, at least one of you noticed that the poll was still running, but my deadline for buying my Amazon.com cart had passed. Well, that may be true, but I still want suggestions for new music, so I left it up. Frankly, some of the suggestions have been intriguing, to say the least. For instance, both Fu Manchu and Disturbed are new to me, and not half bad, based on the samples I found on-line. But, Indigo Girls? Really? Or is someone making a joke? I mean, I assume the Britney suggestion is a joke, but I’m honestly not sure about Indigo Girls.

So, anyway, my point is that I’m still interested in suggestions and new music. Eventually, I’ll buy another CD, so keep voting, if you can. Please, feel free to vote from home and work, too!

Oh, right, and the CD I got was Snow Patrol’s Eyes Open, but they have others, so don’t hesitate to vote for them, still.

  1. Okay…so I’ll take it you aren’t into Indie lesbian music, how about The Jonas Brothers, lol? No seriously…how about Jason Mraz? I listen to him a lot as well as Maroon 5. 🙂

  2. I don’t have anything against lesbians, or their music, but Indigo Girls just really seem like they’re out of left field for me. Of course, so is Fu Manchu and Disturbed and Britney, so, eh, whatever.

    I actually found a bunch of music blogs last night that I’ll probably share with my readers in the next week or so, depending on other stuff that comes up. All kinds of music that I haven’t heard of before, free MP3s and the whole deal.

  3. I just thought it was funny that you had the Indigo Girls on the list. The movie Mamma Mia got me pulling out my ABBA Cd’s. I also was flashing back to High School and a little Bad Company and Boston. I really need to embrace some newer bands…I’m showing my age, lol 🙂 Looking forward to your post on your research!
