People say that in your twenties you form your future music listening. That isn't really correct for me. I think somewhere between the years of 1993-94, when I was 16-18 years old, formed on many counts my music listening. Artist I was listening to then and espacilly music genre I still isten to a lot. Artists as Wu-Tang Clan, Gang Starr, De La Soul, Digable Planets, A Tribe Called Quest, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Beastie Boys and Nas.

That was alson these artists that made me interested in soul music during these years and the years to follow. Not contemporary soul but older soul who had inspired the rap artists I've listen to. Soul like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Ann Peebles, Syl Johnson, Al Green, Millie Jackson, Sly & The Family Stone etc. That led to more obscure soul and funk later.

So thats the years I'm still living in musicaly. Rap and soul is still the music I listen mostly to, even if other styles and artists naturally are common nowadays too in my music listening.

This is a fun music game which I have stolen from user therapster123

This is how it works:
Step 1 : Put your player on random. The more tracks the funnier and harder game.
Step 2 : Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3 : Then is just for your guest on your side to guess the artists and songs.
Step 4 : Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5 : Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating!

Guess both the song and the artist

1. In this house the decor is the obvious obscure

2. Hides the eyes beneath the bill of the cap
Atmosphere - Party For the Fight to Write
3. Know how to rock a house party at the drop of a hat yeah

4. Ensam dag, fåglar sjunger, man är glad
Mattias Alkberg BD - Ragnar
5. The sisters are in so check the front line
Rage Against The Machine - Year of the Boomerang
6. I hear the love chimes
Syl Johnson - I Hear the Love Chimes
