Favorite Music
This question is for Danielle and everyone else. Danielle I know as far music you listed you like techno and modern rock. Any specific bands?
My favorites are: RadioHead, Wilco, The Talking Heads, The Replacements (Truly a great great band, wonderful lyrics) and Miles Davis. Danielle if you have an iPod I recommend searching and downloading The Replacements song "Achin' to Be". If you do let me know if you like it. |

Well, I'm not Danielle but I fall into the other category. My choice is "Country" first, then after that I just like selected music.

I grew up in the 60's and early 70's. My preferred music is 60's Folk and Rock N Roll, 70's Rock, plus I like Contemporary Country and Country Rock. I like most types of music except for Rap and Opera. There's even some Disco that I like. But after the 70's it's based on individual artists and/or individual songs rather than a wide selection of music types.
P.S. I also like a lot of 50's Rock N Roll

I'll toss my couple dimes in here (inflation--2 cents' doesn't cut it anymore).
I'm eclectic. I like a bit of most things. From early rock late 50s/early 60s), I like The Righteous Brothers & early Beatles, mid 60s-70s rock I like the Grateful Dead, The Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young if he's up for it), Alice Cooper, The Doors, Queen, ABBA, &c. Late 70s through 80s, I like Talking Heads, U2, The Clash, Sex Pistols, REM, &c., &c. 90s, its U2, again, plus Nirvana, The Offspring, Radiohead, Kelly Clarkson, &c., &c. 2000s, its Coldplay leading the pack. There's also a bit more "fun stuff" in recent years, i.e., The Pussycat Dolls, Katie Perry, and so on. I like some country. There are times I love bluegrass, especially Blue Kentucky Moon. For the most part, though, its Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson for me. With the Blues, its Janis Joplin for me (I can't get enough of Me & Bobby McGee--if I remember right, Janis & Kris were distantly related; a bit of a coincidence maybe), plus Leadbelly (I love Good Night, Irene), some Muddy Waters & Bo Diddly, too. For jazz, Miles leads the way, followed by John Coltraine, Dave Brubeck and Harry Connick, Jr. There's nothing like P-Funk to pick you up and make you wanna stomp! I love classical, too. Mozart's Requiem, Bethoven's 7th Symphony (1st movement) & 9th Symphony (in toto), Bach, Handel's Water Music, and right up towards the top, Pachelbel's Canon in D Minor. Ravi Shankar & Israel Kamakawiwo'ole are great, as are the Black-Eyed Peas, Wyclef, Lauryn Hill (gotta love Doo Wop), solo or as The Fugees. Storm Large, as Storm Inc or Storm & the Balls, reggae, ...Music's just good. There's not much I don't like, or can't find something good in, whether its Tibetan monks chanting, Balinese gamalan or something directly from Africa, whether tribal or modern from Ladysmith Black Mambazo to Fela Kuti or his son, Femi. Its all good. Last edited by geolarson2; 09-20-2008 at 12:18 AM. |

I don't know how I could do it, but I forgot--at the top of any list of favourite music I may ever make must go Walden Robert Cassotto, aka Bobby Darin. Gotta love Bobby, gotta love Mack the Knife and gotta love Beyond the Sea, perhaps the only song my niece doesn't cringe at when I sing, but joins right in with me.

Geolarson2 I haven't heard Mac the Knife in quite some time. I like a variety last few years been listening to bluegrass a lot.
Which reminds me. What is the difference between a violin and a fiddle? A redneck of course! |

blues/country/rock is my flavors, although I like most things if they are done well and with enthusiasm
1. Blues - Stevie Ray Vaughn (rest in peace). 2. Country - Kelly Willis, Willie Nelson, Reckless Kelly 3. A little bit of everything - Shelby Lynne, Guy Forsythe 4. Shakira... I swear I listen to the music and its not just because she belly dances and has a beautiful bum 5. Rock Rock - Pink Floyd (Just heard Richard Wright passed away yesterday ), Foo Fighters (current favorites) |

I am very excited I am going to see Singer/Songwriter Ray Lamontagne in concert on the 18th in Atlanta. You may know him for his song "Trouble" from his first CD.

Korn is awesome. Taproot is amazing. Killswitch Engage, totally cool. And don't even get me started on All That Remains. How about Darkest Hour? We have very similar interests in music, though I like a lot of music not just metal.

You know you are old when the music you listened to in college and later is referred to as things people grew up with.
My musical tastes are funk metal (Faith no More, Infectious Grooves, older Chili Peppers, etc...), 80s and 90s metal (not Hair stuff, the real stuff: pre black album Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, etc...), 80s and 90s alternative (REM, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, etc...) and of course Rush, the greatest rock trio ever. I don't mind rap, hip hop, and dance music as long as it has a good bass groove. |

I grew up in the 60's, my main music is 60's and 70's Rock 'N Roll and Folk. A lot of bands, too many to name, a few are CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Allman Brothers, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, and The Doobie Brothers. I also like a lot of 50's Rock 'N Roll and more recent Country Rock (sometimes called Contemporay Country). I like a lot of other types of music too (almost everything except Rap and Opera), but my favorite is what I mentioned previously.

I remember Korn & Orgy! (I think my brother "borrowed" my Orgy CD--yep, had to go check my box). I used to listen to Rammstein & Prodigy, too. I hadn;t thought about any of that for so long now, so big thanks to both BledAngelShadow & Danielle for that. Oh, and WhyYou & laranger--I may have been born in CO, may have spent some really nice years living in Greeley, but most of my life was spent in the SF Bay Area, where if you spent even a day or two in the 70s, you had to come out of it as a CCR fan. (Plus the Dead, Janis, Steve Miller ...) Beautiful sounds!

My last time in the Bay area was when I was stationed there across the Bay Bridge in Alameda. That would have been in 1960. I am still living here in Colorful Colorado just west of Denver in Lakewood.

Hard to believe I left Pantera off my list of metal, but yeah, I loved Pantera. They hit right when Metallica had gotten mainstream, and took it to another level.

I know why i've been whistling the late great Karen Carpenter's song "top of the world" at work all week, i just can't get it out of my head. Because it's such nice song and Karen had such a beautiful voice.

Like most other people here I like lots of different music and the great thing is the older you get the more choice there is. I'm from Ireland so here is a clip combining two of my favourite genres Irish Traditonal and Bluegrass, Ricky Skaggs and the Chieftans from the Grand Ole Oprey. You Tube is great for finding fantastic live performances.

I didn't know that there were many girls that were really into metal music. My two favorite bands at the moment would probably be Disturbed and Metallica.

Gloria
My favourite song of all time is Gloria by Laura Branigan. I recommend everyone go to ITunes now and get it. I mean its just a classic song.

I was a radio DJ for about 3 years and that put me in pop music hell. I have my misgivings about pop/rock music from the last 30 years.
I am also a semi-pro musician - playing out when I can. I sing mostly blues/soul/classic R&B in the way of Motown, Stax, Chess, Vee-Jay etc. Blues is my true bag as far as music. However, when I was younger, I listened to a lot of classic country and hard rock. It was all that was available to me on the radio or in the house. When I moved out to college, blues, jazz, and swing were introduced to me through nightlife. I had always sang in some format and eventually just made the transition into bands at that point in my life. Music has been a good companion when beautiful women have been in short supply. American blues music - folk blues or country blues as its called in some circles - is the basis for all other American music that's come after it, even country and rap to some degree.

I listen to different kind of music depending how I feel. Everything from metal to classical. Jazz, not so much.
Lately I've been listening to some classic rock. Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower and Deep Purple - Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming... Check those out if you haven't already. This song should be played when I enter the room Link modified by Moderator. Keep hidden links short so that they do not look like spam links. (W) |
