I'm a band geek in my senior year of high school and I'm not telling where I live. I go by Lyss online, if you want to know, and I have all sorts of interests, including: band, music, reading, writing, a bit of art, Irish dance, and just too many to name in a single profile. I love to give advice, because it makes me feel good knowing that I can help someone and share my knowledge. I'm very straight-forward and honest, if at times long-winded, but you can count on the advice that I give to be from personal experience or the experience of a close friend.

Why do people who don't know shit about music insist on "answering" some of these questions, when they have absolutely nothing to offer?
I mean, if I were to ask the best way to resolve a chord progression, there would be at least 4 people who would answer by saying that they have no clue. Why? Why do these people feel compelled to answer on subjects they don't know jack-shit about?
p.s. - if you don't play guitar, don't answer guitar questions. If you don't play music, don't answer questions about how to play something or about music theory.
Thank you, that is all. (link)

I fully agree that people who know nothing about music should not answer music questions. I have limited guitar knowledge from working in a music store, I am taking a music theory class, and I have been playing the clarinet for eight years. I asked a question a while back about good quality clarinets, and a couple of people knew nothing about it or chose to rant about the fact that they hate the clarinet, and they were people who had no business answering my question. People come to this website for advice, and anyone who knows nothing about a sbject they are answering a question for should just stay away from the question! Hopefully people will some day get the insight that some people depend on the advice they are given and when they are insulted for asking a question or are given bad advice they might get irritated.

These are some of the singers I like:

Natalie Merchant
Other CDs I own include Edith Piaf, The Canadian Brass Ensemble, The Charlie Daniels Band, Enya, Counting Crows, and soundtracks for Fiddler on the Roof, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Sister Act.
What other artists/bands might you suggest that I might like? (link)

You might try Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, because it's a really pretty classical piece, and Enya has a similar sound as far as the instruments. I also think you might enjoy Vanessa Carleton or Evanescence. Michelle Branch is good too. They're all things that I like, and you might like them too, I would guess. You'll only enjoy Evanescence if you can tolerate some metal though.
