For me it help relieve stress after a hard days work.
Linda'a music is the first thing I do before starting my day and before ending my day.
I listen to other music during the day but Linda comes first.
I listen to her alot when I go fior a drive because her music helps me drive.
Her music make me feel good and it's help my day go by
the times I don't get a chance to listen to her is a day lost to me.
P.S. what is youe take on . Adele ( I think she is great has a strong voice) bought her album I play it pretty heavy I like it.
I noticed that some people have one star by the name and some have 2 or more. How do I get a secondm ?

Linda's music affects me differently depending on what it is. There is such diversity I'm her music I can always find something to suit my mood. The stars reflect the number of posts you have made - more chat, more stars  |

I think it has something to do with virginity. You will want as many stars as possible and all in red.

I remember when I got Linda’s LPs in the 70s, I used to play them loud and mean . The mix of rock and ballads was infecting and I was almost as interested in her backing musicians, not least the great guitarists that she used. In later years it has always been her voice. If you are lucky, you have a handful of artists that can do that to you: you are interested enough to follow, so you go where that voice takes you. Even with songs you have heard so many times, the voice is interesting enough for you to want to sit down once in a while and go for that little trip. Only regret is that I don’t sit down for this anymore as often as I would really like to. Western Wall, though, is one of the albums that I have played again and again. The way Linda’s voice blends with or is set off against Emmy’s and the McGarrigle sisters’ voices never ceases to do the trick. |

Well, I think pretty much everything said so far can also apply to me plus this additional point: Her music of the 70-80's recalls my youth and brings back many memories of good times. We are within 2 weeks of being the same age, so I take some pride in the the fact that we are of the same generation.

This pass week I bought an album by ( Adele ) I think she's a good singer but belive it or not
I've already grown tired of her music.
I've never gotten tired of Linda's music. I can listen to her all day long and never get tired of her music.
I can take an album of her and play it for a week or 2 before changing it out for another.

Quote by terryarceneaux re. Adele:
This is possibly because it is being overplayed on the radio.
Back to Linda for a minute--you know, to be fully honest, I don't really know how to put into words what it is about her that's so attractive. I guess it all boils down to having the Voice, which is really all that should matter (IMHO).

it's hard to explain. I listen to other artist I might enjoy 3 or 4 songs out of the album like adele there's only 3 songs out of the album I like.
Linda's album I enjoy every song on her album there not a whole lot of songs of Linda's I don't like.
Picking a Fav song of Linda's is a hard choice to make there all great songs.
the only other album I enjoy would be Olivia Newton-John she comes 2nd to my music....

Maybe you were her doorman in a past life.

I can listen to her all day long and never get tired of her music. I can take an album of her and play it for a week or 2 before changing it out for another. I feel exactly the same way about Linda. I've loved music most of my life....since I started listening to the radio when I was five years old. I recently rediscovered Linda and her music, and she is the only artist I can listen to for days or weeks on end. I just never get tired of her music. Every song, every album....she's just fabulous. There aren't enough words to describe her. Her voice is so uplifting......it relaxes me after a long, stressful day at work. She just brings me happiness and soothes my soul when I'm feeling down and depressed. Linda is the cure for whatever ails me.....she never lets me down. Of course there is the visual pleasure that Linda brings as well, besides her voice. What a babe! A man can get lost in those gorgeous eyes of hers. WOW! |

yes, Linda is on heavy rotation on my ipod.. and since she has so many different styles, music wise, and depending on my mood, there is always something appropriate and fitting..

Quote by Dianna: That's practically the only way now that you can assure yourself of listening to her at all these days, save for maybe satellite radio (and even then...).  It bugs me, though, when people complain how much Linda was on the radio in the late 70s, that she was "overplayed". I remember that time very distinctively, and I know she was never played five to ten times a day like certain artists who will remain nameless are nowadays, with the same two or three songs. Quote by jasonk73: Of course I don't think we can discount her physical attributes, or her sexiness. What I think is attractive about her is that she doesn't come on like a sexpot or a stripper, where it's all about sex and nothing else. You see a lot of that in many of the other female artists who have been inspired to follow in her footsteps (IMHO). |

That's just the result of the MTV boom in the mid-80's when what you got to see all of a sudden became more important than what you got to hear. I worked as a salesperson in a record shop at the time and I remember that customers who couldn't remember the name of an artist or song no longer hummed the tune for you but tried to explain what went on in the video instead. |

Which is (at least in my opinion) rather sad. But then it's not what MTV's original intent was that is the problem; it is actually what came out of its creation.

Linda's voice I find soothing and comforting. She has a gentleness that I have only heard from a few others. Tammy Wynette, Karen Carpenter, Crystal Gayle, (early) Dottie West, Julie Andrews and Dolly. Linda can be loud and strident, but she is never shrill or a shreiker. The most songs I play are her gentle ones, but I never tire of Linda. What other fans can't understand is that Linda's voice and singing that enchants me, just that. Then her inner and outer beauty on top make me more smitten. I'm just a sentimental old man I guess.  |

Quote by heartbreaker:
I think it has a lot to do with what many of her fans. and her peers in the music industry have analyzed as her ability to use her voice to convey real, or very realistic, drama and emotion without overdoing it. I fear that trying to explain this to people who have never heard of her except in passing, however, is now pretty much the rule rather than the exception.
It is like what the late Memphis DJ George Klein once said of a good friend of his: "If you're a fan, no explanation is necessary. If you're not, no explanation is possible." His good friend, by the way. was Elvis Presley.

Linda's music was the soundtrack of my youth. Aside from the warmth and comfort in her voice, as others have mentioned, her emotions are so pure and relatable. Her song choices have helped me deal with many difficult situations in my life, including heartbreak and loss. Not to mention, meeting her in person was the thrill of a lifetime, and I owe her a debt of gratitude.
