Oh, Grammys, how we do love thee. Though we may not always agree with your ultimate choices of honorees in the world of music, we are drawn year after year to your celebration of sound, your naked appeals to carnality, and your occasional glimpses at raw creativity. And, oh yeah, the kind of plumage that would leave Marlin Perkins speechless. After all, who doesn't love '80s pop queen Cyndi Lauper...

Ouch! I was well into adulthood and my second daughter was already born. I didn't like her because she was part of the "next generation". :oops:

[edit] Sorry, I listened to the clips and wasn't impressed. If you want to hear a real blues woman, listen to Joanna Connor or Ana Popovic.

She introduced her new album on the Celebrity Apprentice last year. She sang one or two songs from it if I remember correctly.


Steve just has issues with 'the next generation' :O: Cindy was great in doing her own thing. This is what made her unique.

Since I have in my collection the complete Lighnin' Hopkins, Big Boy Crudup, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson and Mississippi John Hurt, I tend to be a little picky about my blues. :sunny:

I admit it. I also have nothing against her, just not my style. And I didn't say I had anything against her singing the blues, I just said I wasn't impressed.

You know Steve the nice thing about the blues is that it didn't stop evolving once spats went out of style... :DL

Another nice thing about the blues is that they like the music more than their egos. I'd bet any of those old gents would have been happy to jam with the likes of Cyndi Lauper, not to mention Charlie Musslewhite and Johnny Lang, both of which are also on her new album. :up:

I don't deny it. I wouldn't mind playing for her either, given the chance. My listening habits, on the other hand...

There is no bad music, there's only music you don't like.
