What is your Girl Music?

[GirlieAmanda]

Lately, when I girl up, I have been into pop music. Lady Gaga- Alejandro, Katy Perry- California girls, Ke$ha- Your Love is My Drug, Jason DeRulo and so on. Madonna has been with me for 25 years too. She introduced me to sex as a teen. This music fits my mood so well when I dress. I feel like I am a young girl who is discovering makeup, clothes, jewelry, sensuality, her body, etc. I am a happy, playful, easy going sort and Amanda is an enhanced version of my personality. I am sure that others have their Girl Music. I would love to see what other CD soundtracks are.:dance:

[Lissa Stevens]

I kind of like Shakira.

[Barbara Dugan]

Natalie Merchant really gets to your fem heart:hugs:

[Sarah Doepner]

I'm still hanging on to "Invincible Summer" by K.D.Laing. But there are a lot of female Jazz singers, from Norah Jones and Madeleine Peyroux to Peggy Lee and Cleo Laine who suggest there's a lot more to the female experience than I'll ever figure out or understand.

[Mikaela]

Although I like dance beats, I can't stand any of that stuff with autotune. I don't tend to separate the boy and girl music too much, I listen to both either way, but I do like my female singers a little more when in girl mode.
Dido, Lene Marlin, Lorenne McKennit, Sarah McLachlin, Alanis, Jewel, Shania, Colbie Caillat, Sia, Michelle Branch

[Tess]

You would think that being a couple of generations removed from Taylor Swift would disconnect me from her music, but I think her stuff is as girly as it gets. That and the music on the Kindle commercials.

[t-girlxsophie]

My Girlie Music has got to include Girls Aloud,Cheryl Cole:daydreaming: Katie Perry,The Scissor Sisters and of course Lady GaGa.And Scottish singers KT Tunstall and Amy MacDonald all top my List when in Girlie mood.Also male vocalists such as Will Young,Paul Weller. And king of Lovers Rock,Gregory Isaacs I enjoy also when in mellow mood

:hugs:Sophie xx

Yay! Cheryl Cole

[Loni]

does not matter my guy music is also my girl music. same stations, same cd's on the iphone. :doh:

[JenniferB]

I'm not sure I'll ever understand why music needs to be stereotyped as "girl music" or whatever. Different people like many different genres of music.

[michellesworld]

Any 'house' music in general for me.

[Cassandra Lynn]

Have to agree with the Natalie Merchant note and all her stuff with the 10,000 Maniacs. Also........... No Doubt, Alanis, Elastica, 4 Non Blondes (yeah, really). Not into dance-pop-rap-or country.
Country?....would rather have oral surgery without anesthesia.

Haven't found many non female acts or artists that rasie the needle on my girly meter. mj (Cassie)

[Dalece]

I like Cyndi Lauper and ABBA

[Rachel Morley]

Hi Amanda,

I pretty much like the same sorts of things as you do for my "girl music". Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Madonna, but also Taylor Swift and Gwen Stefani too :) I usually listen to this type of music when I'm getting ready to go out for the evening (putting on makeup, choosing my outfit etc) and I also sometimes have a few sips of some Chardonnay to help things along too :D

[Tara Lutschich]

Avril Lavigne, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears(new), Pink, Jewel,Jenifer Lopez, Christina Agulilera, Fergie, Carly Simon and Lou Reed.

[kimdl93]

O I love lots from Madonna to Sarah McLachlan....which betrays my age I spose.

[Hermione Simpson]

My music tastes are the same in either mode, leona lewis, alexandra burke, cheryl cole, girls aloud, the saturdays, plus a few more I could mention

[emilygielen]

I think that my music tastes are basically "girly" and don't change that I'm in boy mode or in girl mode...

I really like Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, Snow Patrol, School Gyrls,...

But sometimes I also listen to a bit of oldschool hardrock music like Metallica or my favourite (in hardrock music) AC/DC

[kellyanne]

Truly I am an ABBA girl and Mama Mia is # 1 with me.
Others I love are"

Martin Stevens - Love is In the Air
Belinda Carlysle - Who Made Heaven on a Place Called Earth ?
Andy Kim - Rock Me Gently
So Good Together
Irene Kara - Flashdance
Beach Boys - Kokomomo
Billy Idol - Mony Mony
Boobby Vinton - My Melody of Love
Los Lobos - The Macarena
John Waite - Missing You
David Bowie - Blue Jean
The Tymes - You Little Trustmaker
Right Said Fred - Don't Stop Just Kiss !
Prince - Raspberry Beret
Dixie Cups - Going to the Chapel
Reba McIntyre - Daddy's Hands
Doris Day - I'm a Girl

The secret to staying young, healthy and happy is lots of dancing !

As the Doobie Brothers said in 1972 in their trackListen to the Music:

" ... were gonna dance the blues away ..."

Hit that dance floor and live to 100 years old girls !

[~Seana~]

This one is easy. Melissa Etheridge, and sometimes Cyndi Lauper. Funny thing is Melissa was a favorite of the boy side too growing up.

Amanda

[Toni_Lynn]

Easy answer -- It's Blue Turns to Grey by Cliff Richard and Shadows. On go my denim mini or legging and long sweatshirt and I'm a go-go dancer on Top of the Pops!

[leotard fan]

bangles?!

[Cherie]

hi Amanda my girl music would be Shakira

[Chloe Renee]

Most of my favorite music remains the same regardless of appearance. My big four are Pink, Gwen, Gaga and Bif Naked. Every now and again I get a hankering for Korn, Jhonny Cash and Social Distortion.

Hey Sarah oh my cream does rise to the top!

[KarenCDFL]

Being a Disco CD Chick in the 70's, you know the sexy clothes, heavy makeup and overdone hair with Empire State height Platform shoes....

It has to be France Joli (The Heart to Break the Heart).

That song still does it for me!

[suzy1]

This is an interesting question for me.
When in man mode I only like classical music. But as Susy I am into pop, Lady Ga Ga and so on.
It fascinates me that I am such a different being when I am Suzy.
Fascinating!

Have fun, SUZY

[Ashleythenewgirl]

Lady Gaga...not original I admit but there it is. With that said...Natalie Merchant, Enya, Crystal Method and trance/techno.
Rather interesting thread...thanks for starting it

[tricia_uktv]

Musicals, I love musicals and I love Doris Day!

[GirlieAmanda]

There is as much variety as I expected. While I must add that I am a hard rock,Punk,rock,pop Green Day,Metallica, Foo Fighters fan in boy mode It can carry over to girl mode. But there still is something about new pop that reminds me of the 80's when I was a teen. Just a few out now but they have a fun feel again. Yes, they are AutoTuned now but some keep it subtle. Thanks for sharing.

[christiek]

Music in general is a HUGE part of my life. There is no boy or girl mode for me anymore its all just me. But I have noticed that I am much more into things I can dance to recently. In the past year I have started listing to artists such as T-pain Gaga Katy Perry Rihanna and the odd one Blue October (they are a cross-genre band). I have also found a few songs here and there by random similar artists. Im kinda picky about music but I love all types (cept maybe country but I did live with people who listen to nothing but country for so long) maybe some day I will like it again . . . then again maybe not lol!

[patti1569]

Madonna is like #1, 2, and 3 on my list. I really like Christina Aguilera too when I’m in a girly mood. I’m loving the Katy Perry song right now. I can’t get it out of my head. Amanda, I know what you mean. I do enjoy pop music much more than my normal musical taste when dressing and feeling fem. Even hearing some of these songs will give me that good girly feeling. One of my favorite songs that gives me that great feeling is Freedom by George Michael. That is my CD girly anthem! The video might be my fav of all time. xx Patti.

Good lord! I think we were Separated at birth. You gust listed some of my fav bands. You have great taste in music (both boy and girl:heehee:)!!!

[Toni_Lynn]

Lotsa folks mentioned Katy Perry. I don't necessarily like her, but I will admit that the first time I heard California Gurls, I would have swore that she sang a line about 'the boys in their bikinis' :D

My ears are tuned weird!

[Robyn2006]

I go to Madonna's CD, Something To Remember. It so reverberates the passion I feel.

Robyn

[BiancaEstrella]

I don't differentiate, though I tend to skip more misogynistic music when I'm in girl mode.

I have nearly 12,000 tracks in my iTunes and sorting through it all would take me more time than I care to spend on such a task

[Lexine]

Mine will probably always be picks from Ayumi Hamasaki's songs.

[cj]

nobody mentioned Fergie yet?! Hy Humps... London Bridge... they really get me going. And Gwen Stefani too... Hollaback Girl... whenever I here any of those songs I just wanna go get all girled up :)

[Sarahwithanh11]

My taste in music as Jessica is pretty different than in male mode. Not sure why...

Jessica's favorites:

Pink - Missundaztood cd is my favorite but I like all her stuff.
Lady Gaga
Chemical Brothers
Any techno mix

[joank]

I do not have any girl or other music cause I'm tone deaf. I do like 50's/60's rock (loud) but no particular gender of groups or individuals. Music just has not been important to me. Most saddles did not have a radio when I was riding the range.

[Annaliese2010]

My current Playlist is an eclectic mix of songs from different genre's old & new which includes:

Paramore ~ I Caught Myself
Blue Foundation ~ Eyes On Fire
Lady GaGa ~ (everything by her)
A Fine Frenzy ~ Almost Lover
Katy Perry ~ I Kissed a Girl
Nancy Sinatra ~ Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole ~ Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Heather Nova ~ Like Lovers Do
Keane ~ Everybody's Changing
Miley Cyrus ~ The Climb
The Turtles ~ Happy Together
The Casinos ~ Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye
Yanni ~ Swept Away
Cat Power ~ Sea of Love
Bob Lind ~ Elusive Butterfly

Could go on but no one actually reads these lists. Music is such a personal thing. One that for me, changes like the weather, in time... :battingeyelashes:

[Inna]

It is somehow interesting that although some styles of music overlap most of my girl music is just that, it makes Alexia perk up and then the old stuff would only fit the old guy.
Alexia loves:
Kylie Minogue
Deep house
Lounge
Karsh Kale
Bob Sinclar
Hird
Dzihan & Kamien
Lovetronic
Andrea&Costi
Hed Kandi
Smooth Jazz
Acid Jazz

[Mi$$ Despair]

Generally my music is the same no matter what...

Jeffree Star
Lady GaGa
AFI
Blaqk Audio
MCR
Green Day
Children of Bodem
Black Veiled Brides

[Bethany_Anne_Fae]

I listen to a lot of different female singers these days,but mostly I like the sounds of Stevie Nicks, Mediaeval Baebes, Blackmore's Night, and Shirley Manson.

gets me in the mood ;)

[Nicole82]

I am totally addicted to a little brother sister band at the moment, Angus and Julia

and florence and the machine

[Audrey34]

I don't have what you would call "girl" music. I love jazz and have listened to artists from Louis Armstrong to John Coltrane to Wynton Marsalis. On the other hand I guess if I listen to female performers such as Mary Lou Williams and Ella Fitzgerald, does that count?
-Audrey

[StephanieDragg]

Suddenly I See is one of my favorite gurls songs , I also like Lady Gaga , and Kelly Clarkston:daydreaming: love Stevie Nicks too!

[TinaMc]

I've found Amanda Blank and Santigold good music to get ready to... :)

[michellesworld]

Matisse- Better than her (radio mix)

[Annaliese2010]

Oh yeah, Kelly Clarkson is good too. I love "Since You Been Gone", can really relate to that song.

[Ellen James]

I guess I'm showing my age :o but I've had an "Ellen" playlist for a while that features lots of "girl" singers from the '60s, '70s, ''80s, and even '90s - it now includes lot of new stuff from the other thread! :battingeyelashes:

[diane51]

A couple are Coldplay & Collective Soul...both help set the mood.
