100 Rockin' Music Lenses On Squidoo

Ranked #2,443 in Squidoo Community, #214,076 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

Squidoo lensmasters have great taste in music!

I'm pretty excited to share a list of some of the most creative music lenses on Squidoo by genre.

A couple of weeks ago I asked lensmasters to submit their best ideas for MonsterBoards. One of the first people to respond was veteran lensmaster Waxing_Lyrical. Rich is a great community leader, SquidAngel and Giant Squid who loves to write music lenses.

Together we complied a pretty interesting and diverse list of musical lenses on Squidoo. Being a huge music fan myself it was fun reading through the many musical genres that lensmasters have written about. While I am partial to 80's music I was very impressed by the great variety of 50's and country music we have on Squidoo.

Each of the lensmasters featured on this MonsterBoard will also get 100 points for writing about their musical passions. Got a favorite band or musical artist? Why not write a lens about why you love their music. Then post your music lenses on the Guestbook of this lens to share.

ROCK ON!

Waxing-Lyrical

Meet Rich!

My musical tastes go back to the late 1960s through the 1970s. Although I grew up in England, my first song memories come from the soul music coming out of the States at that time. Tamla Motown, Stax and the Sound of Philadelphia were big names back then and listening to songs by the likes of the O'Jays, Harold Melvin, Stevie Wonder and The Temptations were always a treat. At the other end of the spectrum, my collection of records started to expand with the sounds of British glam rock. In the 1970s, groups that many Americans bypassed like T.Rex, Slade, Wizzard and The Sweet satisfied my teenage need for something louder and more commercial. These days, however, if a CD hits my player, it's usually Adele or Bruno Mars that can be heard coming from the speakers. - Waxing_Lyrical on Squidoo

    My kids have introduced me to the latest Alternative rockers, and I still listen to the bands from the 70's (The Who, Led Zepplin, Springsteen). And I can't help but wonder what John Lennon would have continued to create.

    Gotta go with the '70s - Grew up listening to Elton John, The Who, Eagles...those were the days!
  • cmadden Jan 22, 2012 @ 4:23 am | delete
    I like music from most genres, but my favorites are folk and classical, both rather conspicuously absent from this list. Jodi_k may have the right idea: Part 2.
    Very nice lens.

    The Don Francisco lens brought back great memories. He's an amazing Christian singer-songwriter. Another one (who I happen to have made a lens about) is Keith Green.

    Wow! Thanks for including my Righteous Brothers lens. That's, like, totally awesome. :)

    It's very cool to be inlcluded among the work of so many great lensmasters.

    What an awesome coverage of music lenses.
  • Jodi_k Oct 15, 2011 @ 8:04 am | delete
    No classical? Or folk? Or jazz? We need a part 2!

    I have two music lenses, one folk (http://www.squidoo.com/american-folk-musicians) and one, well, I'm not sure where PDQ Bach fits, but here he is (http://www.squidoo.com/pdq-bach

    I was so excited to see my Mississippi Delta Bluesmen lens listed! I really like the idea of the Monsterboard. It's fun to be able to easily check out lenses on the genres I enjoy. (I've visited several and plan to read more.)
  • marciag Oct 15, 2011 @ 12:38 am | delete
    I don't think my lens would fit it as I don't see a category for it for classical music. But anyway here is my lens for consideration:

    Terrific list of music lenses -- something for every interest and era! :) My favorite is 'folk music' a.k.a. The Kingston Trio (whom I saw in concert many times and 'met' in person twice) and most all the folk groups of the late '50s and early '60s.

    Thanks for adding my 90's Grunge and Alt Rock lens to your list!

    Thanks so much for recognizing my Rage Against the Machine lens in the 1990s section. I'm truly honored. Thanks for all the hard work you do for Squidoo!
  • tokyonights7 Oct 14, 2011 @ 7:23 am | delete
    Awesome stuff! I'm glad to see you've got my beloved Pet Shop Boys up there. But where are the Bee Gees? ;)
  • Geeve Oct 14, 2011 @ 6:10 am | delete
    Amazed that you haven't any classical music represented.
    "andre-rieu-the-waltz-king" is a lens about the world's most popular performer, André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra.
    I would also draw your attention to my "WOMAD" lens, which is all about the world music scene.
  • bdkz Oct 14, 2011 @ 7:47 am | delete
    We'll have to do a "Part 2", there is just too much good music out there to cover everything on one lens : )
  • Not-Pop Oct 14, 2011 @ 7:54 pm | delete
    I'd love to see blues and jazz on Part 2! But I'm thrilled that you included my Peter Gunn lens. Thanks so much to both of you.
  • artyfax Oct 14, 2011 @ 5:56 am | delete
    Thanks very much, I was very pleased to see my lens, "UK #1's of 1969 added to this collection. Even after all this time I still find that the music of my youth is still my favourite listening. I am however, just beginning to listen to newer bands and artists as I approach retirement - is it me or is the music getting better again?
  • CardLady Oct 14, 2011 @ 4:15 am | delete
    Thank you for including my Bobby McGee lens in this collection!
  • Stazjia Oct 14, 2011 @ 4:06 am | delete
    I like many different types of music, from heavy metal through to opera, it all depends on my mood.

    Heavy Metal...the heavier the better :)
  • debnet Oct 14, 2011 @ 2:20 am | delete
    I love most genres of music. Reggae or Motown, anything with a beat will get me up and dancing. I love singing along to stuff while I'm driving and just hope the other drivers around me can't hear LOL! However, it's the one are that poddys and i clash on. What he loves, I hate and vice versa :) Thanks for including my Marvin Gaye lens here :)
  • poddys Oct 14, 2011 @ 1:21 am | delete
    My favorite genre is Classic Rock, mostly from the 1970's, but I also love Country, Latin, New Age and some Classical as well as World Music. One of my favorite bands is Premiata Forneria Marconi from Italy (http://www.squidoo.com/premiataforneriamarconi).
  • NAIZA Oct 13, 2011 @ 11:36 pm | delete
    It really depends on my mood probably.. But I'm an all genre type of person when it comes to music. Though I must say I'm still impressed by the music from oldies but goodies genres. Awesome music lens collection :)
  • Sylvestermouse Oct 13, 2011 @ 11:10 pm | delete
    Personally, I enjoy listening to a lot of different styles of music. I have learned to appreciate many different genres over the years. I am simply impressed by pure, natural talent whether instrumental or vocal. I always appreciate anyone who will take the stage, even if it is only in the shower :) Thank you for including me here. Music has always been an important part of my life.

    I'm a country girl myself, but my husband and son are rocker fans. Great compilation!

    Thanks for including my Fleet Wood Mac lens. This is a very complete monsterboard of music. I like a lot of different music, not so much country and rap. My favorite is two kinds...rock and roll :)
  • ajgodinho Oct 13, 2011 @ 10:07 pm | delete
    I like many genres of music, but my favourite one is Jazz (smooth Jazz). I like music from artists like Frank Sinatra, Diana Krall, Michael Buble and the like. This music lens monsterboard looks cool! :)
  • wordstock Oct 13, 2011 @ 10:04 pm | delete
    Thanks for honoring my Peter, Paul and Mary lens on this group of fabulous music lenses. I will be here all night listening to all these great selections. Many of the ones I've already discovered are here but wow, what a treat to have so many more in one place.
