Fav type of music?

hmm

let me start by saying I do not like hard core rap and I do not like country.
I like classic rock, blues, southern rock, heavy metal, early like Black Sabbath and today such as Metallica.
I like some pop and enjoy some reggae (spelling?)
some of my favorites are
Yes, Uriah Heep, Styx, Doobie Brothers, Eagles, Edgar Winter, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tom Petty, Bob Marley, Ozzy Osbourne now and with Black Sabbath, Santana, Metallica, Jethro Tull, Shawn Phillips, Linkin Park, 3 Doors Down, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kansas
The list could go on forever.
Different music for different moods.
I even listen to a little classical on occaision.

Yup, rock, classic rock and metal are it for me. Ac/dc, megadeath, deep purple. Just talking about them make me happy. I also like alot of new stuff, the only thing i can't stand is Rap. I don't care to hear about some one doin my mama or shooting my brother, or dealing drugs.

I agrree it is very sadening isn't it when they class this as music.

Yeah I still have a turntable, it was made in the 50's and is like a piece of furniture, it plays LP's and 8 tracks, it was free at a garage sale and people were laughing at me when I hauled it away!

Wish i got mine for free, it cost nearly £180 on top of the sterio system, but worth every penny for those "retro days", if you know what i mean

poly ethic cajun slam grass!

You asked for it...

Now we're on a subject I live for... MUSIC!

I'm a METAL HEAD first and foremost. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
I like most everything Metal, Thrash, Punk and Classic Rock is in my CD collection (pushing 1,000).

Metal/Thrash like Accept, AC/DC, Annihilator, Dio, Destruction, Grave Digger, GWAR, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, King Diamond, Kreator, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, Metallica (Old not this new crap), Metal Church, Motorhead, Overkill, Ozzy, Pantera, Queenryche, Savatage, Slayer, Sodom, Testament, UDO, Venom, WASP, plus a bunch of others that many haven't heard of.

Classic Rock like Zeppelin, Queen, Eagles, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Deep purple, etc...

I still have 8 tracks and a player that still works. (Now I've gone and dated myself)

It depends on the mood and the situation I'm in. Stuck in traffic wouldn't be a Metallica time. Doing 140 out in the desert, now that's Metallica time.

Rap:
Just missing the "C" in front of it.

Country:
My ol' lady took off in my truck with my dawg.... Dang I miss my truck and dawg.

Note: There are I believe 2 albums from David Allen Coe I am looking for but they really wouldn't fall under the "Country" term. He has an album or two with some spoof songs that would carry an "R" rating.

Dand, you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You think that's bad, I've got a good friend that has a reel-to-reel player, WITH music reels in tip top shape. He still plays it in his garage when he works in there! I can't say I personally remember when those were big (literally), but it's pretty cool none the less.

This thread has turned out great...

And for all you out there with a Turntable and 8j track player...don't feel old, I have both and listen to them regularly... my parents have a lot of what is now called classic rock and I love to listen to that stuff...

btw dand, I agree with you about the time and place for certain types of music. I drive about 75 miles one way to work, and a lot of it is bumper to bumper traffic. If was was listening to Matallica or the like, I would probably end up hitting someone when they cut me off. Instead I listen to Classical and just blare it out the windows. That is in the morning. At night when there is no traffic and I can fly, I bass out to the rock. Makes the night time drive go by faster.

Some of my Favorite bands are
Tool, Pink Floyd, The Pixies, The Shins, Nirvana, The Postal Service, The Vandals, Flogging Molly, Smashing Pumpkins..
well I guess the list could go on and on

I really like alternative music
punk, bluegrass, Irish punk is awsome

Also, I love going to open Microphone night at a local place every week. People really poar their souls out at It doesn't matter what genre their music falls into.

I like music with passion and substance

Well, as you can probably tell by my screen name, there's a certain type of music that moves my soul more than any other.

Yep, there's nothing like a good polka. :crazy02:

Seriously, besides jazz (and NO, Kenny G is not jazz) my tastes are eclectic -
mostly blues-based stuff, but just about anything goes - but jazz is my cornerstone. Ironically, all my critters except my snakes are named after a song or a musician.

My Holy Trinity of 'mainstream' pop: Steely Dan, Van Morrison, and Tom Waits (OK, TW is hardly mainstream). Passion and substance, as Blueberry said.

Jazz: Coltrane, Miles, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins (that's him in my avatar), Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie (think of Dizz' cheeks on the trumpet, and you'll understand how my first Bearded Dragon got his name), Joe Lovano, Richard Elliot, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Manhattan Transfer, Dexter Gordon, Sarah Vaughan, Michael Brecker, Joshua Redman.......yikes, I could take up a whole post on these and others.....

"Classic" Rock: Eagles, Beatles, Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, Tull, Led, CSNY, Dylan, Clapton, Buffett, Grateful Dead, James Taylor, Pink Floyd, Styx, Moody Blues, Queen, The Who, Billy Joel (sober version), Simon & Garfunkel, Todd Rundgren, Deep Purple, Stones, REO....

R&B: Just about any old Motown....Four Tops, Marvin (and Tammi), Temptations, Spinners, Stylistics, EWF, Quincy Jones, Isley Brothers, Luther Vandross, Destiny's Child, even the occasional Parliament/Funkadelic and Rick James....

C/W: Johnny Cash, Doc Watson, Patsy Cline, Kenny Chesney, Randy Travis, REBA!, Hank Williams (da boht' of um), Dolly (resisting the temptation to repeat myself), Dixie Chicks, Toby Keith...

Recent Stuff (given my age, that's the past decade!): Smashing Pumpkins, Ben Folds (Five), Green Day, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Pearl Jam, Nick Cave, Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin....

Classical: Bach, Brahms, Copland, Vaughan-Williams, Stravinsky, Rachmaninoff, Durufle, Schubert, Handel, Bernstein, Gershwin....

Miscellaneous Stuff: Zydeco, Samba, Afro-Carribean, French, Irish......

80's Music? Outside of reggae- and ska-influenced groups (The Police, Huey Lewis & the News, etc.), I'm not much of a fan of hair bands....some early 80's R&B (Tina Marie, Patrice Rushen) works for me, though...I was also more into blues (SRV and Bonnie Raitt) at the time...

OK.....now, what forum am I on again? :shrugs:

Still ordering my 3 400-disc CD carousels,
jazz

I grew up on hard rock and metal, but have many interests now. Although I like hundreds of acts, the following have had particularly heavy rotation on my audio systems over the past several years:

King's X
Queensryche (early to mid career)
Crimson Glory
Tapping The Vein
Metallica (early career)
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jonny Lang
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Box Set (killer folk rock!)
Dave Matthews Band (except most of the radio cuts)
Garbage
Joss Stone
Sheryl Crow
Natalie Merchant
Bob Marley
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
Iron Maiden
AC/DC (early to mid career)
KISS (early career; turned me onto music at 8 years old back in '76)

I Love Led Zep!!! They have to be my all time greatest. I refuse to listen to ANY kind of Hip-Hop, Rhythm & Blues, Rappers and all that crud. I like 80's rock and I also love Pink Floyd because their music is a work of art. Only a genius could write some of that stuff, it sounds great, complex and is musically amazing!!! Talking of mordern stuff I like lost prophets and that kind of stuff.

I think there was more drug influence than intellect with Pink Floyd. Still a great group though.

An 8 track, what's an 8 track? :nyah: LOL.

Seriously though, I've actually NEVER seen an 8 track...EVER. I mean I've seen them in movies occasionally, but how are they different from tapes besides the obvious difference in size? Do they still use tape as the recording device?

As for my answer to this question, I mainly listen to rock (old and new), but my all time favorite band will forever be Nirvana. I still tend to get teary eyed whenever I hear one of Kurt's songs, especially "You Know You're Right."

Amanda - check out this website:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hamidk/8-tracks.htm

the most memorable thing to me about these cartridges (they were on there way out just as I was getting into music), was that often times a song would have to fade out in the middle of a song while the catridge switched to a new "side", after a few clicks the remainder of the song would then be played. This, as you could imagine, sucked.

If I remember I'll bring one to NOAH in February. Yes they use tape like cassettes but the tape is wider.

Drum and bass all the way

It is an underground music style that started in the UK but has slowly crept into the US and Canada. It's called drum and bass and it is mostly dance music but it is really interesting to listen to.

I like a nice mix of music.

I like Hardcore metal (A lot of screaming and good guitar), Reguler good ole metal, spiritual metal (a perfect circle), ORIGINAL METAL!( TOOOOOL!!!!), rap/metal (pretty much only rage against the machine), and someof the more intelligent and original nu-metal as it is called...(Mudvayne)

I also like a little punk rock like the sex pistols, the clash, the ramones, got me good, the casualties, old rancid, and others.

hard rock: Original stuff like radio head.
Gothic: The cure

I also seem to like some of the original soft rock/whatever you call it music: The killers have sucked me in.

Rap- Underground/semi gangster rap or rappers who have not lost their underground good ness... Bone thugz, 9021h0, ect...

I guess thats it lol!

seems like this thread might have died off, but i'm going to post anyway because music is a huge part of my life. i love ALL kinds of music (yes, even rap and country)...but here's what plays most in my ipod....

indigo girls
dave matthews band
melissa ferrick
stephen kellogg
jimmy buffett
CSN (& Y)
