Not sure which category because they could go in several and these are just off the top of my head without really thinking about it  but I feel like Bowie, Metallica and Johnny Cash should be there somewhere.

 

 

diverdude1:

yeah, I feel like an idiot overlooking The Man in Black,,,,,,  and Mr. Bowie gets his own category,,,,,   hmmmm,,,,, Progressive Solo rock?  The long overdue 'Major Tom' Award ?

I also like Marty Robbins, Johnny Horton, Gordon Lightfoot, and Uriah Heep. I think diverdude has made some good choiceswink

diverdude1:

Never followed any of those 4 very much,,,, but funny thing I was viewing some oldy footage of Heep the other night,,, what struck me the most is how he would (probably) never be accepted these days.  I mean the dude was before the age of 'pretty boy/pretty girl' music.  He is one weird looking dude,,, and all he cared about was rockin' the fk outta that flute !  Two points for Eccentricity!

haha,,, just a quick sidenote:   Robbins was considered old-timer when I was a kid,,,  haha,,, he must be 'super old-timer' by now!  But I am glad I grew up listening to that old-stuff,,,  my best friends dad used to take us to the local Honky-tonk with him when we were kids,,,  haha,, remember it like it was yesterday.

Can I pop in Yehudi Menuhins 1962 recording of Beethovens Violin conerto in D? Quite simply the most sublime performance ever recorded.

https://m.youku.com/video/id_XMjgyMTM3OTgwOA==.html?spm=a2h0k.8191393.bo...

diverdude1:

u make me want a VPN.  don't know if it's exactly same category as 'Classical',, probably not, but u made me think of seeing Phantom of the Opera,,, That's what I call sublime!  

 

'Think of me,,,  think of me softly,,, when u say goodnight,,,,'

 

guys,,, dunno if it's as well-presented as it used to be,, but save your pennies and take your girl to Phantom,,, either London or NY,,,   whatta show!

A:  "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "S
A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
