I am just listening to Glen Miller - absolutely fantastic - does anyone have a favourite music era or genre?

um I hope you don't mean Glen Miller Ann because if so he was a ghost - or do you mean you like anything from the 50s and 60s - a great era for music

Errol i've always loved Glen Miller and his orchestra, his music was played a lot in our house when i was growing up. Many years ago I was given a 1930s original radio recording and it still sounds as good today :-)

Couldn't say what my favourite era is because I love many different genres,but lately I've been listening to George Gershwin/Cole Porter music. :-D

I love Gershwin/Porter and Glen Miller was an absolute genius - shame he disappeared because he could have been such an influence

Loved the film The Glenn Miller Story

My neighbours must get confused with my choice of music - anything from Glenn Miller, Edith Piaf, Abba, Buddy Holly, Black Lace, Tom Jones

Seldom play classical music

GlitterBaby I am ok with Glen (I forgot the second n) Miller, Edith Piaf and Abba but...... BLACK LACE?

Think he did influence many swing bands and his music is still being played today. He died far too young.

I can get very emotional listening to Moonlight Serenade,Mam must have played the record many times when Dad was away in the army WW2

There are some fantastic tribute bands and yes, he died too young - I think he was only about 40 when he went missing

I meant Glenn Miller AND music from the fifties and sixties - also Billy Joel, Nat King Cole - Ella Fitzgerald - voice like velvet - Eddie Fisher - my fave - the Platters, Patsy Cline, Kenny Rogers, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, John Denver and on and on and on!!

love classical too - Albinoni, Shostakovich, Chopin, Mozart et al
