    I have many artists I like to listen to. But among your favorites Meatloaf is one of them. If only to bring back memories of my younger days. Paradise by the Dashboard Light was The #1 hit in the days.

    Art encompasses many things. I think my favorite are writers who can bring to life so many things in my head. I have many favorites but every time I make a list, I forget someone and I feel bad.

    Favorite artist? Hmm, I always have trouble when asked about favorites of mine. Other than authors, I love comedian and musicians; their work bring and fill me with mixed of emotions and coud have laugh, sing along or even cry.

      Amen. Art touches us all in many ways. I remember watching Brothers and Sisters and it was the episode where the youngest child remembers his decision to go into the Army. It was a 9/11 episode. And as soon as the credits rolled – I sobbed. I wept, hard, because I related so much to that moment in time.

    Admittedly I’m not very knowledgeable about the arts. The only two artists that I’m familiar with at all are Norman Rockwell and Thomas Kinkade. I love their work though!

      They both were very beautiful artists. My sister sam actually took a trip to Gatlinburg to go and purchase one of his works.

    I can’t really pick a favorite, but for real comfort I turn to Jane Austen or EM Forster – either reading their books or watching movies made from their books.

      My husband LOVES Jane Austin. LOVES HER. As a matter of fact, if a work is not serendipitous he doesn’t like it. He’s a huge fan.

    I loved that Robert Rauschenberg worked in dance as well as fine art, and his mixed-media work was so cool!

      I just had to google who that was. Thanks for commenting. Now I have someone to research! Very cool. I love that.

    I’m a huge fan of Kyle Landry and have been for a while. I think the way he plays the piano is unique. Even if I hear the same piece by another artist I can always discern the difference. In general I found a few good people on YT and Twitch and I’m always happy to support them, when they are releasing a new album and I can afford it. To me art means that whatever it is touches me on some level.

      I love this! This is the second person I had to look up! LOL. That’s awesome.
      Jim Brickman and Jim Steinman are a lot like what you described. Their style speaks so loudly that you know immediately who they are. There’s something comforting in the familiarity of it, isn’t there?
      And supporting up and coming artists says to me, you are the future.

    I love Meatloaf as well, I think he’s a great storyteller. Do you remember I Would Do Anything for Love? The stories I created in my mind when listening to that song… I think I’m going to listen to it again now 😉

      Bat out of Hell 2: Back into hell was my very first CD that I owned as a kid. Meat has a very special place in my heart. I named my second book after Objects in the Rearview Mirror so I totally understand the images he provokes.

    Favourites depend on mood and time – at the moment Imagine Dragons are high on our play list, but ones that used to get me on the dance floor were Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, Eddy Grant, Amy Grant. And I grew up listening to Elvis and the Beatles!!

      My tastes fluctuate as well. You know what’s even funnier. They’re seasonal. For instance, Spring and summer- I love more pop style songs or stuff that makes you want to just take a long trip. Like, Road trip.
      In the fall, my music tends toward Rock and Roll. Fleetwood mac, the eagles, Imagine Dragons, Matchbox 20, Foreigner, Journey, Bad Company, and so on.
      In the winter, I get really kind of reflective. So it slows down to things like Sarah Mclachlan, Justin Jones, of course Christmas Music, some country, anything that feels like I am gazing back on the year before.
      So. I totally feel ya on Elvis and The beatles.

    I wouldn’t say I have a favorite artist since I have a tendency to get tired of songs so quickly. The song I’m listening to and like currently is Life goes on by Fergie.

      Right on. I’m listening to this now. I like the mild tempo. She’s got a great voice. it reminds me of summertime. A great summertime jam for me is this:

    Congrats and thanks for the post. I have a number of favorites, but since you brought up my fav actress of all time, I’ll take the easy out and say Meryl. Not only was her lifetime achievement award well deserved, but even tho I don’t cotton to political acceptance speeches, hers has to be one of the best I’ve heard.

    My favorite would depend on the time & the mood. Sometimes I’m in the mood for classical, sometimes rock, or country. I’ve always enjoyed listening to George Winston. Similar in style I think to maybe Jim Brickman.
