I'm listening to Vanessa-Mae Radio on Pandora at the moment. Strings, Piano, a little horn and woodwind mixed in, but not a lot. I'm very much a classical instrument pony. I love Octavia for this reason.
Though I do switch to Nightwish or Bond Radio when the mood strikes or find a Glitch tunes station. I'm also partial to Loreena McKennit, Enya, Clannad... And some classic rock, and some current pop, and some dubstep, a little rap, and maybe a couple country songs. Music is awesome!
Here's my current favorite Vanessa-Mae song - Red Hot. With full orchestral accompaniment.
3221983 That is a terrific song. I really enjoy music that fuses classical with more modern influences. (Bond and Nightwish are big favorites of mine too! Also Trans-Siberian Orchestra.)
You may also enjoy this one, really weird song I found quite by accident. Cellestial Soda Pop by Ray Lynch... I'd never heard anything like it before. It's pure electronica, but I was entranced the first time I heard it. I still have no idea why. Perhaps it's the simplicity of it.
Grateful Dead - Throwing Stones [youtube=xRNvezElbIg]
Roger Hodgson - The Logical Song (For some reason, I could only find Supertramp singing it without him, or him singing it, and he *is* the writer and original singer...) [youtube=OQfjIw3mivc]
And while I'm bringing up The Talking Heads, can I point people over to this amazing cover of This Must Be the Place? It sounds like it's going to suck for the first thirty seconds or so, but I think it's awesome after that. Probably NSFW.
I thought I'd start a thread for posting music. But let's not play any of that new-fangled stuff those modern young whippersnappers listen to...

Ban me, I dare you. Immortalize me within your halls of fame.
3221333 Okay.
3220549 Piff. Good music doesn't need to be older.
It just has to be awesome!
(guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore, for people who want 70's cred) :P

It's not about the song.
It's about how you sing it.
