The first couple of entries make sense. But... Dire Straits?! WTF? From
there on it just makes less and less sense. o_O

Why?
I don't know Enya (or, well, maybe I just don't know the name), but if
bears /any/ resemblance to music from Clannad, then I know at least one
Dire Straits album (actually the only Dire Straits album I know ;-))
they might enjoy as well, and Fleetwood Mac fits pretty well, too.
I'm just a bit puzzled about seeing Madonna and Michael Jackson named in
the same list as Clannad, Dire Straits and Fleetwood Mac, so maybe I'm
terribly wrong about Enya; but then I couldn't agree with your statement
about the first couple of entries.
Also note that Clannad != Clannad, Fleetwood Mac != Fleetwood Mac (both
changed their music significantly over time), and maybe also Dire
Straits != Dire Straits (for instance the Dire Straits album I own
features a Knopfler solo live performance CD, which I find much better -
and a much better fit to Clannad and Fleetwood Mac besides - than the
Dire Straits performances of the same pieces).

I own CD's from Enya, Clannad and other Celtic / Irish / Scottish stuff.
Even had a tape from Andy Steward. Loreena McKennitt (Lady of Shallot,
Portmore) is nice, too.
Nonetheless, when the mood takes me, I like to listen to Madonna, Dire
Straits and (long ago) from Michael Jackson, too. Visage, Pet Shop Boys, the
whole 80's stuff. Boney M (very long ago), Barclay James Harvest - all these
brings fond memories. And when I still had a comparatively fast car:
Steppenwolf and Genesis rock at 140 mph ;-)
Nice to hear that other people have the same mixed taste as I have...
However, I abhor "classical" music - I really do. I find it lame and tame.
Yes, I admit: ain't got no class, ain't got no style...

Vocally, a lot. She was with Clannad in their early days - she's a Brennan.
I don't think there's anything strange about Dire Straits being in the list
either. Clannad and Straits are both significant presences on my shelves!

You mean someone who buys Enya doesn't buy Dire Straits? Why not?

Ah! then maybe I've even heard something of her. And if not, then I
probably should.

I think 'Orinoco flow' may be the most well known song by her. Why don't
you try youtube and don't tell anybody I suggested that.

Well, presumably people who aren't me have, you know, "normal" tastes in
music. As in, they like one particular style and only listen to that.
Also, while I'm sure probably a lot of people who buy X also buy
unrelated Y, there would have to be a hell of a lot of people buying
*the same* unrelated Y for the statistics to pan out like this... which
would be a really big coincidence.

I think the statistics are that popular artists way outsell even
slightly less popular artist. So irrespective of what moderately
successful contemporary artist you pick, madonna and michael jackson
will be bought by the same people.
Pick a relatively unknown group and even the group that half the members
were in before that won't show up in the list.
If you pick an artisy from the 60s or 70s, people would have also bought
the beatles and presley.
Both Enya and Dire Straights were refreshing in their days, so I am not
surprised by the coincidence.

Ah, the joy of statistics... so many different ways to analyse the same
numbers. Heh. Well, it seems like a plausible answer anyway.

If it's based on what people actually bought, there's no statistical
analysis really, just what people bought.
But Enya used to be a part of Clannad, so people who like Enya tend to
like Clannad - from there I could go into music by James Horner and from
there to pretty much any genre I wanted to.
It's kinda like the "6 degrees" game. You could probably do the same
with music influences to JS Bach. :-)

I prefer Book of Days myself, but I'd love to hear the original version
(not the English version, which I do quite like). Haven't been able to
find it anywhere.

I find that most people have a broad range of styles they like.
If you looked at my music collection from 20 years ago, you'd probably
never expect to find Queen or The Eagles in it, yet I've got both. Most
of what was in my collection at the time was classical composers.
The list of music I listen to at the gym is a mix of Bear McCreary and
Queen. The tempos just work right for me.

The song "May it be" (LOTR, part 1) is sung by Enya. If you own the standard
edition DVD LOTR 1 the clip is included. Unfortunately the clip is missing
on the special extended DVD.

I once listened to a song of hers eight or ten times in a row trying to
figure out the words. Then I gave up and dug out the liner notes, which were
written in a handwriting so crabbed it was illegible. So then I looked it
up online, to discover it's in Gaelic.

She sings in a lot of pretty random languages.

Neither of those is random. Gaelic spoken at home, English at school,
and Latin in church. (at least I think that would be rather likely).

Also Japanese, Quenya, Spanish, Loxian, Welsh.

2) never called me. Mother!
3) never called my mother!

Do we need a comma between her and *blush*? What does the language

A very probable legal version is at her own site
http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=m
Sounds a bit different than the one I have on CD, though on relistening
that version the difference is less that I initially though. Perhaps
that is partly because I also sometimes listen to the Celtic Woman version?
Reminds me of something weird (at least to me). I recently rebought
Kate & Anna McGarrigle I had it before and played it a lot but it was
left with my ex girlfriend (almost 16 years ago). When listening I
recognized the songs but had the feeling almost all arrangements were
different. Normally I remember almost every note and every scratch.

The lady’s son died before he knew that she was his mother. (Alcoholic
poising IIRC) So number 1 is correct.
It is from the play of “East Lynne” a sensation novel by Mrs Henry Wood.

Today I had a recurring discussion about the use of English in science.
Someone had submitted a manuscript for correction to a native speaker. A
number of the suggested corrections were good English but incorrect
scientific/international English. Which reminded me that sometimes at
conferences I have trouble understanding some Brits that wrongly assume
that English is the language of the conference and that therefore can
use any expression that they know. This would be a typical example.
BTW how did Ellen become Henri?

Most of the rock videos out there are actually legal. YouTube makes a lot of
deals.

Sure, but how can you know?
None of the first few hits seem to come from Enya herself or a publisher.

It was always possible to upload legal stuff. E.g.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btVGCqpIoyk&fmt=22 is probably legal as
it was made entirely be the author (ok we have only his word for it).
But your reaction sort of supports my point, thanks.

Well, yes, I'm sure all those videos of "hey I filmed this dude totally
trip over a banana skin with my camera phone" are probably legal. (I.e.,
the videos that no sane person would watch.)
> But your reaction sort of supports my point, thanks.
Heh. The videos of "hey I filmed this concert I went to" are presumably
*not* legal... And then there's the fact that just about every movie
ever made can be found on YouTube somewhere. And then we get to Why is
the Rum Gone? and it's ilk...

You can't. That's what sucks about the Bourne convention.

Japanese? Quenya I knew, since I own that disc (and the films), but I
didn't know about Spanish and Loxian (I don't even know where that is
from - off to Google it - ah, and I have that album too). But where does
she use Japanese, Spanish, and Welsh?

You have mentioned this one or two times before ;)
Because you are from the Lowlands every English speaker expects you to
be fully fluent in several languages. (A complement BTW) But I’m sure
that we won’t go to war over it (again :-P)
> BTW how did Ellen become Henri?
When Miss Ellen Price married Mr. Henry Wood she became known as Mrs.
Henry Wood. This was the accepted practice in England in the early 19th
century (and even later).
