Has anyone in answermug "introduced" you to a song or musical artist and you immediately became a fan?


(Answerbag members count, too. Or other social sites.)

:)

I'll post one artist, Tarja here. (And Nightwish with Tarja is a favorite, too.) 
Other favorites of mine I'll post as separate answers.

    I became a fan of the song. I knew of both artists but not the song they did together.

    Mel C and Bryan Adams  "When You're Gone"

    Thanks, Thriftymaid! Yeah, I like it, too. I enjoyed the video. Though part of me wished they had met up at the end of the song/video, ha!

    I became a fan of the song. I knew of Freddie Mercury but not Montserrat Caballe or the song. (Though both singers are great!)

    "Barcelona"    Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe

    You're welcome, Zack! My reaction was the same when I first heard it/watched the video!

    Excellent answer. I like its brevity.
    For some reason, your answer makes me smile. Thanks, element99!

    I had not heard of either this song or the artist and I love both! And the music video is absolutely perfect to me.



    "Dog Days Are Over"    Florence and the Machine

    Now that I think of it, an online friend DID introduce that song to me.  It was a few years back and he was always posting music.

    Not here on AM, but I did get introduced to music I had never heard of in my real life.   I worked with a girl that introduced me to all sorts of ecliptic music that I love to this day.  We worked on the top floor together, so she was always playing her music out loud.

    This music video and the group - - the first time I saw/heard this song ~ an immediate fan!
    This music video is such a blast!! (I especially love when the keyboardist gently pushes her guitar out of his way.)


    "Polite Dance Song"    The Bird and the Bee

    And now that I started to list them, I realize there are too many to list!

    Thanks, pearl!
    I think in many ways, for reasons of which I'm unsure, I find myself underexposed somehow to various music styles/artists/etc. I'm lucky, though, that I 'listen' around and pick up things where I can.

  • One of our former moderators on blurtit made me a fan of the groups Halestorm and Pretty Reckless. All it took was one song from each group and I was hooked!

    I've not heard of either group! There is so much music out there --  I get frustrated sometimes if I think of it too much, that there is so much music I'd probably like if I only heard it.
    I should look up Halestorm and Pretty Reckless.
    :)
    Thanks for answering, Corey the Goofyhawk!

    Sure, many times.  I was introduced to Night Wish by The Anonymous Witch eight years or so ago.
