Musical Moments

Streetalk

The power of sound has influenced the minds and hearts of people for many ages. Whether it is the dynamic sound of a full orchestra or the wailing scream of an electric guitar, music is something special. The role this aural stimulus plays in our lives is something to be explored. So once again, the mad scientists hiding out in the back with the radio on have come out with a Street Talk.

If you were forced to listen to one band forever, who would you want that to be? U2. I think they''re diverse enough.

Does music affect you? Of course. If it didn''t, we wouldn''t love it so much.

What group or artist has influenced you the most? Led Zeppelin. I can listen to them and the music can take me to India, Scandinavia and North Wales, all at the same time.

Do you think another musical "revolution" will happen someday? I think when the political climate changes, then it will happen again.
