All Time Favorites
by Gary Courtland-Miles
This list represents just a few of the incredible number of Awesome Tunes by incredibly talented SoundCloud Artists! I somehow felt that it was my duty to Repost every single one of these (favourited) compositions to my Cloud. Then... I felt it necessary to Highlight some of these as " All Time Favourites." And folks have really enjoyed this list. These pieces from a wide array of Genres speak to me loud and clear. They all have the three main ingredients I listen for in Music - Originality, Heart, and Lovingly-Meticulous Production values. Of course there are other things that catch my attention as well, but the three are Key.I realize its a long long list but this indicates the Depth of Talent that is represented on SoundCloud..one of the top 10 inventions ever..in my humble opinion. (Smiling broadly :-)So inJOY! And of course- my deepest Appreciation goes go each and all of these artists. Play on, compose on, sing on., remix on, rap on, and Right ON!:-)Simply Know that 't
