Eclectic Music Survey #4 Survey #4 January 1989 A few months ago, I posted a survey with the following instructions: Here is a list of artists, Please take this list and chop it to pieces, post something pertaining to one of the artists, reply to me and I will summarize comments. Never heard of an artist ask the world. I can tell you at least a song title to look for by every artist on this list. Others probably have more information than I do. If you are ambitious, *** I DARE *** someone to just try & classify these into various "types" of music. Well, people responded and I posted a summary of the responses, what folks had to say about the artists in the list. After I posted the I got a lot of people who missed the survey asking if I would doing it again. So comes about the next Eclectic Music Survey. For starters, I solicited the readers of the net for the artists they would like to know about. I have added all of these artists to the list. So, if you "missed out" on the earlier survey, and didn't get to tell "the net world" an your opinions about the artists, here is your second chance. PLEASE E-MAIL datta@vacs.wisc.edu, if you have any trouble mailing here, then post, I will include stuff I find on the net as replies to this article [but e-mail is preferred]. I will mail copies of the previous survey results to anyone who wants a copy [it is LONG] To give people an example of what people did for the last survey, here is a few sample artists and the comments I got: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABC Pretty cool band, never really got to know them until "Lexicon Of Love", but then again, I don't think most people did either. Liked that album and really liked _How To Be A Zillionaire_ (especially the CD with bonus remixes), but didn't buy their most recent album. I think "Ocean Blue" and "Between You And Me" are standout tracks on the latter (as you may note as you read this, I like the slower songs on most every album, don't know why, just the way I am). -- John Donahue (gumby@ucrmath.ucr.edu) Lexicon of Love is one of the greatest albums of the decade. The middle stuff sucks, but "Alphabet City" was a respectable comeback. -- acd4!jct@uunet.UU.NET Chris Thomas (ICTT) Mildly interesting British pop band. They keep disappearing but they keep coming back. Keith LeBlanc (TACK>>HEAD) had a hand in their 'How To Be Millionaire' LP. -- arf@otter.hpl.hp.com (Andrew Farmer) "Hi, my name is ___, and I want you to kiss my sn__" -- Yary Richard Phillip Hluchan <yh0a+@andrew.cmu.edu> AC/DC Got into them when I was in about 8th grade with _Back in Black_. Since then my musical taste have grown a great deal and I find that, though I enjoy hard rock/metal to an extent, this band no longer gets my music buying dollar. If I could find the soundtrack to _Maximum Overdrive_ on CD however, I'd buy it (a friend has it, but I haven't been able to find a copy in a long time, and my Mom [yeah, my Mom likes all kinds of music too, must have rubbed off on her] REALLY wants to find this too). -- John Donahue (gumby@ucrmath.ucr.edu) Right! This is a joke, no? -- acd4!jct@uunet.UU.NET Chris Thomas (ICTT) Yuck! -- jrwsnsr@jupiter.nmt.edu (Jonathan R. Watts) William Ackerman new age I believe -- regnery@wpi.wpi.edu (George Regnery) A New Age Artist (founder of Windham Hill, I believe); I haven't heard any of his music yet. -- jrwsnsr@jupiter.nmt.edu (Jonathan R. Watts) Excellent stuff, but it's not good for driving late at night. Best on a fall drive through the mountains. -- dcbii%ncrcae%ncrlnk.dayton.ncr.com@RELAY.CS.NET Too boring. -- acd4!jct@uunet.UU.NET Chris Thomas (ICTT) Liked his "Conferring with the moon" album. Harmless and inoffensive. -- clive%compsci.bristol.ac.uk@NSFNET-RELAY.AC.UK ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WELL???? IT'S YOUR TURN...... ---Dave datta@vacs.uwp.wisc.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Respondents to the pre-survey- these are the folks responsible for a good portion of the list of artists, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

Please excuse any typos and alphabetizing errors (actually, please correct them [and let me know :- )]) Replies: Please don't indent your replies, I will handle that when I compile the results. I would appreciate it if you could use the following or a similar format: >artist Comments about artist I will respond to ALL replies. I will also re-post this survey in about 15 days. The re-post will contain a list of all of the people who responded. I recommend that you keep a copy of your response to this survey until you get a response from me.
