I apologize in advance if this thread has been a topic in the past, but I am curious to hear about all of your musical tastes and ventures.

Cheers!

MUSIC!!! Lots and more of music, all the time music!!

Classic rock

Classical

Some old country (Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams)

Woody Guthrie 'cause he was incredible

Some Motown, now & then

Certain old pop from the 70's...a few Billie Joels, some fun stuff

Sometimes I've liked reggae

Other musics

MUSIC*MUSIC*MUSIC

If I didn't have to pee so bad, I'd start listing musicians :o

[zombiewoof23]

Funk is my true love. Almost anything out of brooklyn. Anything Rick Rubin produced. Other than that my musical preference is from A-Z. I love it when ppl turn me onto new music. Electric Hellfire Club happens to fucking rock.


Grateful Dead and LSD are permanently burned into my brain.

[Seedy]

Dub, funk, house (down & dirty, not that girly shite), breaks, dubstep (if u aint heard of it, look it up it's some dope shit), hiphop, non commercial that is, jungle, and countless other sub-genres of electronic/dance music.

[Badly Drawn Girl]

Music is my other drug!

I listen to a wide variety music. Pretty much everything that isn't popular... lol

Faves are Ani DiFranco, Modest Mouse, Tool, Built to Spill, Ryan Adams, Public Enemy, Outkast, Go! Team, Audio Bullys, Ray Charles, Citizen Cope, Pixies, The Smiths, Dead Kennedys, The Cure, and on and on. I'm always looking for new music to get into.

[PRIZEFIGHTERINFERNO]

My favorite genre is Progressive rock (when its truly progressive),
Jam rock and Classic Rock.
I also like Classical music (classical guitar aswell)

I am a hardcore Coheed and Cambria fan
i also an heavily into The Prize Fighter Inferno (lead singer of Coheed's solo project)

Coheed and Cambria's music is conceptual. All of their albums form an ongoing 5 part story with two albums remaining. There is a very detailed story THAT IS EXTREMELY COOL. Al the fans get on the net and analyze and figure out the story.

Pink Floyd kinda did that with The Wall but this is a step up because all of their albums form this story. They also put out Graphic Novel/Comic Books (NOT for kids trust me) to illustrate parts of the story. Its cool because it offers another Medium to appreciate the Coheed and Cambria Legend.

I love it so much because it takes music to another level for me. Its not just a catchy song its a highly thought out story all of the songs have deep meaning etc.

[antigonemuse]

irish punk - blood or whiskey, flogging molly, pogues, dropkick murphies

Folk punk - moldy peaches, adam green, kyma dawson

[Duckfeet]

Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Leonard Cohen, Delta blues by anybody, Jorje Kafrune, Hank Williams Sr., Ernest Tubb, Willy'n Waylon, David Allen Coe, Louis Prima, Zydeco music, Freddie Fender, Flaco Jimenez, Grateful Dead

[oxymoron]

I like classic rock - Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Greatful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, just to name a few

Old Country- Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, Gene Autry, Tennesee Ernie Ford, David Allen Coe, Ernest Tubbs

I like classical music, although I'm not that educated in it to know what I like. Big band and Swing music. Pretty much anything besides Rap, but the above listed are my faves:)

[slugbone]

Alice in Chains, Mad Season, Mother Love Bone.

Bob Marley, Talking Heads

[nick]

Funk is my true love. Almost anything out of brooklyn. Anything Rick Rubin produced. Other than that my musical preference is from A-Z. I love it when ppl turn me onto new music. Electric Hellfire Club happens to fucking rock.


Grateful Dead and LSD are permanently burned into my brain.
Not bad things to have burnt on your brain.It could be worse.Anyway I just wanted to point out that I believe Rick Rubin produced the Cult and no one in their right mind(even an Lsd,grateful dead scared one) can claim the results were anything but dire.
P.S. I've already noted all the music I dig in a an old thread and I'm a lazy,lazy man.Far lazier than you.So check the search,if you're really that interested man.

[kyuss]

I love Classic Rock(Floyd,Doors,Bowie)
I love most metal(Danzig,Priest,Maiden,)
I love some country(DAC,Wilie,Dwight,HWJ,Cash)
I love the Blues(Johnson,Waters,BB)
I love Classical when I'm tired(Brahms,Paganini)

Way too many artists
to list

[zombiewoof23]

Poison...haha! This reminds me of one of the worst statements I have ever heard about music coming from my old boss back in 2000-2001 or so. He was trying to relate to me and failed miserably. Every Rose Has Its Thorn came on over the radio at the place I worked at, and he turns to me and says, "The lyrics kinda sound like something Bob Dylan would've written."

[ZodiacKiller]

Well, I thought I had that covered with "hair", but ok, Glam metal, too...

Funny, when we played The Whiskey in LA some years ago, C.C. DeVille was in the crowd, and after he came up to us to talk, and he bought 2 of our cds. (High-pitched voice) "Hey You guys was great, hehehehe..."


ZK

[nick]

Hey Zed,how is your bar band coming along?
P.S. Dylan always amazes me.He can't sing well.He can't play the guitar well,but he makes amazing music.Far our.

Hey Zed,how is your bar band coming along?

Slow but sure...we're still trying out drummers. Drummers are a strange breed...and that's all I can say (don't wanna piss off Opiyum ;) ). Hopefully we'll be gigging soon. God knows I could use that release...

[Hoss]

***Disclaimer : SORRY this is so long, but music is my life and I'm feelin'.... "nice" :angry-smi***

so what's your tastes Hoss?

Hi again all : sorry for the late reply to my own thread, but I was out of town for about a week celebrating the ol'-Thanksgiving-ski with the family. Thanks for all of the replies! As one would imagine, with the eclectic group of folks we have gathered here, we seemingly have quite an eclectic musical palette as well (and how).

I love TONS of music and thus music is essentially the center of my life. I've always loved music since childhood and started playing the sax back in 5th grade. I grew up on healthy portions of classic rock via my parents - Pink Floyd, Bob Segar, "The Boss", Doobie Brothers, Grateful Dead, Jim Croce, Led Zep, etc. etc. etc. Growing up in the SF east bay here in CA I was exposed to a lot of hip hop as well as I grew older, and I also eventually began liking electronic music and the like. In 1994 I got my first pair of Technic 1200 turntables at age 14 and at 16 I started DJing raves out in Oakland/SF/all around the bay area. Over the years my styles of spinning has ranged from house (deep/tech/funky) to trance (anthem/deep/progressive/psychedelic), drum & bass (atmospheric/jazzy/tech/hardstep), techno (detroit/minimal), down to many shades of ambient & downtempo. The largest crowd I've ever played in front of was about 8000 people at once (man was I nervous that time!).

These days I still DJ though not out as much; my main genres I spin our deep/funky house as well as really funky downtempo, however I still buy & collect all sorts of electronic music. I play piano, am teaching myself guitar (have a Martin acoustic), and am also learning to produce and record on my Mac's.

As for my music rotation, here is a SMALL "snippet" of such by genre :

- ROCK

Allman Brothers
Beatles (...)

[reddragon3668]

I like classical music allot... classical piano is my favorite (Mozart, Bach, Haendel, etc). I also love the old classical rock-n-roll... AC/DC, "Hells Bell", "Big Balls", "The Jack".. frickin classics for sure. Judas Priest, Ted Nuggent, Sabbath, Dio, Pantera, Slayer, Older Metalica, Rat, Krocus, Pink Floyd, Y.E.S,, KISS, Alice in Chains, QueensRyche(sp.), Alice Cooper, Twisted Sister, Suicidal Tendencies, Molly Hatchet, Foghat, Nantucket, Krocus, Blackfoot, Lynard Synard... Geez! The list could go on and on... the good ole days...

I also liked some the ligter stuff.. Reo Speedwagon, Journey, Chicago, Kansas, Boston... stuff like that.

Now, with my teenage boys (age 16 &17), I am being introduced to a whole new type of metal music... tool... phish(sp?), um... Craddle of the Filth.... ummm... today, ZK introduced me to his band, "The Electric Hellfire Club"... which I think is awesome... Metal is so diverse these days... theres so many kinds I can hardly keep it all straight.

Well, thats my 20 cents worth. Oh, I like some Gospel music.. Kirk Franklin... a little country.. Willie Nelson, Sam Kershaw.... can't say that I get into any female voices... Oh, and I do like some Baby Face or Boys 2 men, or All4One if I'm putting the moves on the misses... :)

[zombiewoof23]

Not bad things to have burnt on your brain.It could be worse.Anyway I just wanted to point out that I believe Rick Rubin produced the Cult and no one in their right mind(even an Lsd,grateful dead scared one) can claim the results were anything but dire.
P.S. I've already noted all the music I dig in a an old thread and I'm a lazy,lazy man.Far lazier than you.So check the search,if you're really that interested man.

I've never heard The Cult. Rubin produced The Cult's - Electric - from 1987. I stand corrected my friend. I noticed he has also produced an album for each Neil Diamond (sorry Candy) and The Dixie Chicks<-----they need all the help they can get right now. I don't think Rubin is enough in this case.

Rick Rubin's accomplishments by far outweigh any dire attempts as you put it. From Licensed to Ill, to Slayer, to Run DMC, to Danzig. You can't forget the Walk this Way collaboration between Aerosmith and Run DMC. One thing that I always took note on was when Tom Petty seemed to get better and better after Wildflowers. Don't get me wrong he was good before then, but something changed on that album. It's called Rick Rubin stepping in. Ummmmm.....Johnny Cash wasn't doing so hot in the eighties, then in 1994 he collaborated with Rubin and who would have thought on that first American Recordings album we would hear Cash cover Nick Lowe, Danzig, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, etc. The Cash/Rubin collaboration got better and better. I'm listening to Delia's Gone right now from the first one. His resume doesn't look too bad to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin

Bob Rock took over for most of The Cure's albums it looks like.

Another producer/musician that I have always been a fan of who burned out way too early was The Rock and Roll Doctor himself, Lowell George. Zappa found George, and kicked him out of his band for proposing the song Willin', which was about drug smuggling. Of course Zappa was anti-drug big time. His musicians had to be drug free to be in the band. The early Zappa/Mother's albums with George are some of my favorites. George went onto form Littlefeat, who will always be one of my favorite bands that I never seem to get burned out on. Littlefeat's - Waiting for Columbus has always been one of my all time favorite albums. And George also produced the Grateful Dead's - Shakedown Street.

You seem to have some pretty good taste in music there Nick and have some good knowledge of what you are talking about. I am always expanding my knowledge of music and don't stay in one place for too long. Expanding my bootleg collection is my number one priority, but I do enjoy sharing music with different ppl I chat with. There have been several ppl on this site who have turned me onto things that I normally wouldn't pick out on my own. I recommend checking out the recording that our very own Opiyum played on, Uncle Gina - Elephant Bones. IMO it flows very nicely and I was very impressed with it. Hit him up for the link. Alright, I can talk music all night, enough of my babble.

[candyshop]

right now i like bands that are t-rex
rock on rock oooo on yeah yeah yeah

[micro024]

Musik is always my other drug, Glad to see alot of the same tastes in people, Oh Joy, Seedy, and Hoss, are the electronic junkies, good to see that.

For Me music and drugs always went hand in hand

Classic Rock-Floyd, Zep, Doors, Marley,Beatles,Hendrix> Stoner days along with much LSD, and Mushrooms

Phish Tour days over the course of about 6 years>Also stoner days, LSD, Mushrooms, occasional XTC & opiates

Electronic, Trance (all genres), Progressive House, DnB, Funky House, Hard Basslines, some trip-hop> Coke, speed, XTC and of course opiates

Currently electronic, trance> opiates are the only thing i touch anymore, not even smokin any chronic anymore, I like being in a state of functionality now....

DJ Trons fave. Deathcore about 400 BPM (not a typo)

[ZodiacKiller]

skinny puppy rocks.

I too love Skinny Puppy, have their entire catalogue, including some rarities. The only thing I didn't care for was the Last Rites album, in which I concur with most reviews that describe it as "unlistenable". Too Dark Park, Vivisect VI, and Rabies are amongst my favorites.
