I call that music! Do you? 2.0

[granath]

H started a thread on this theme in the youth centre, but didn't want anyone over 30 replying. :devil:

This thread's open to all ages. :angel:

Okay, I'm still as eclectic as I was at the old WAM KT...

Bryan Adams is still my biggest fave, his star shows no sign of waning.

At the moment I listen a lot to different Celtic music, especially Celtic Rock: Seven Nations, Off Kilter, Runrig, KILT... More traditional Celtic music goes over well too, including Tania Opland and Mike Freeman. :)

On the classical side I'm currently listening to the LotR soundtracks and Josh Groban.

Opera metal goes over well too, Nightwish and Evanescence are both high on my playlist.

Others include Keith Urban, Allison Crowe, Ash, The Darkness, Minnie Driver... :note: The list goes ever on and on... :note:

[Gryphon]

I listen to a lot of Country any more, because of my wife. I like Matchbox 20, though and a lot of the old rockers like Ian Anderson and others. But I like Keith Urban and Alison Kraus in the Country genre.

There's others but it's a little after 7 AM here and my mind hasn't caught up to my body yet, awake-wise.

[Kater]

I like country but my husband has banned it from any radio when he is in the room! :D I like alot of music from the '50's, '60's, '70's. No specific group or single artist jumps to mind right now as I usually like a veriety of different artisits.

[wulfin]

i always say i listen to anything EXCEPT country and rap *shudder*.

My favourite list currently:
Evanescence
Dido
Great Big Sea (Canadian group)
Spirit of the West (Canadian Group)
Deanta (Canadian group)

[Gryphon]

Just to irritate Wulfin and anyone else that claims to not like country, I like Charlie Daniels Band,
Outlaws,
Ozark Mountain Daredevils,
as well as Travis Tritt (Anymore and Tell Me That You Didn't Say Goodbye),
Willis Alan Ramsey (he wrote Jimmy Buffett's Ballad of Spider John)
of course Jimmy Buffett (i'm not quite a Parrothead, but I've read one of his books, which was quite good),
Toby Keith,
but there's also
John Hiatt,
John Prine,
Bela Flek (ever hear rock banjo?),
Tangerine Dream,
Metallica,
Scorpions,
Ted Nugent (Fred Bear was played a LOT on Country stations :razz:),
Tom Petty,
Brian Adams,
Bob Segar,...............oh, I could go on for a long time, now that I'm semi-awake.

I have a strong liking for Celtic music, too.

[Mausey]

Right now there's holiday music in the cd player but usually it's a mix. When I changed over there was Cher, Great Big Sea, Dr. Hook, Phantom of the Opera and Ray Stevens. I like most of the music from the 50's and 60's and some of the disco stuff isn't too bad. :D The entire family likes Trooper, Ian Tyson, Johnny Horton, Nazareth, C.W. McCall, Queen and Meat Loaf. Hubby and the kids like Uriah Heap, ACDC and that style.

For when I'm by myself I've got Heather Alexander and a lot of Mediaeval Babes on the computer.

[jjmouse]

I listen to about any sort of music. I find that I mostly listen to what I can understand the words to though. So, that means Old Country, New Country, and anything from the early days of rock and blue grass which I may have heard as a kid, or have heard it so many times I know the words.

Most of the new rock bands I have never heard of. We have at least 4 new Religion stations on the radio in the past couple of years. There are even a couple of new oldies stations. I think there is only one real rock station left in my area, that I can pull in. So my choices tend to be limited at best.

[scentman]

I'll listen to anything from La Bohème and Die Zauberflöte (Opera: the Bohemians, and the Magic Flute) to Rammstein (Heavy metal) except...hold the rap, and easy on the country or jazz. Lately I've been into some German Techno by Möhre (pronounced halfway between mow-ruh and moy-ruh, the band name means Carrot, as the lead female is a redhead). I guess my mainstays though are that 80's stuff - Meatloaf, Cindy Lauper, Billy Joel, Tracy Ullman, ELO, U2 etc with some Beatles and Bob Marley for good measure.

[granath]

H, don't you know titles can't be copyrighted? :devil:

Currently I guess Ash is the hardest rock I listen to, but I do like some Metallica, acoustic Godsmack, AC/DC...

Just about the only genre I don't listen to at all voluntarily is rap.

[Ian]

[AnnMarie]

I like anything but rap (which I consider noise, not music) Let me quaulify that statement...I like all gendres except rap.

Curt Seger and Peggy Eyers are fantasic ...but I think their appeal may be limited to those of us who love the Adirondack Mountains.

[-H-]

Well, where shall I start? ;) I'll list most of what's in my album collection (artists rather than individual titles or I'd be here all night!), in alphabetical order, & the obesrvant among you will notice a strong progressive & heavy rock thread running through :) Some of these are LL & BM's rather than mine, but we pool things ;)

Your not kidding!

i keep tripping over it every time i visit :eek: :devil:

:redfruit:

[Faren]

My favourite bands are Pulp and INXS. RIP Michael Hutchence :sad: :cry:
I loved INXS. :sad:

[granath]

I still love INXS, and The Doors, and even some Nirvana. :cry:

[Jorine]

On my media player I have Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, and Simon & Garfunkle (And yes, I WILL dance around the room singing Cecelia at the top of my lungs). By my kitchen CD player I have U2, Metallica, Simon & Garfunkle and Hollywood's Greatest Holiday Hits. In my car I have Ozzy, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Metallica, and an oldies medley.

[Bamy]

i will listen to anything but jazz.

[Nagetier]

The best stuff was made before 1990. The good stuff is still good until recently, unless it turns into *shudder* rap. Which is NOT MUSIC. Talking fast != music.

But I love Cream, the Talking Heads, the Rolling Stones, Matchbox 20, Ben Folds 5, The Clash, The Dead Kennedys, Dave Matthews, Frank Zappa, The Doors, and the Barenaked Ladies for ... um, some.

(I will not be stereotypical and say the Beatles! I won't! And I will realize I forgot a lot more!)

I guess a lot of those are mid-90s! But those are just some favourites. I'm also rather fond of, uh, me, but my band is lowscale. :D

[Orianna]

I listen to a lot of different music, some classical, some opera, some country, lots of oldies, lots of comtemporary.
For Christmas:
Has anyone heard the one that Barenaked Ladies did last year with Sarah McLachlan, of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'? Neat mix.
Like Josh Groban, Trans Sib O, Mannheim S ;)

[-H-]

no i havent heard that one ?

but at this time of year the music channels start digging out a lot of the good stuff, if you know what i mean!

hell they even play that kate winslet song !! (which i think is quite good)

aaaaaah! kate ........ *sigh* :heartbeat

[Ian]

I was very impressed by Kate Winslet's voice too. I haven't heard Minnie Driver's album, but apparently it's very good. Oh, and Skin (Skunk Anansie's singer) went to the same university as me ;)

your just trying to make me feel jealous! :noface:

ah but were you there at the time ????? :evilgrin:

[Dawn]

I like most types of music except for rap, r&b, bluegrass and opera.

Mostly I listen to rock or pop. But I also like country, classical, musicals, soundtracks, alternative, christian, new age, celtic...whatever I like the sound of. :good:

[granath]

You can listen to Minnie Driver's album on the winamp (http://www.winamp.com) website - mellow bluesy stuff, lots of other interesting music there too.

[-H-]

OK another music update from the H and a few questions too :roll:

just heard/seen the new good charlotte music video ... when did they stop doing punk/metal type stuff and do what can only be described as pop rock ???

Additions to the music i listen too/like follows :D

Sum 41
Bowling for Soup
Linkin Park
Weezer
Green Day
Texas (did i mention that one already ???)
Louise (formaly of Eternal)
Natasha Beddingfield
Natalie Imbruglia

more will follow when i can think of any more :evilgrin:

p.s. do any of the UK contingent who perhaps watch kerrang tv know what i'm talking about when i mention the "kerrang public service announcements" they're funny :devil:

[PsychDyke]

Just a post to subscribe until I have time to answer this properly. One thing jumped out at me though...


Ian...The Runaways and Lita Ford but not Joan Jett and the Blackhearts? C'mon now. ;) Her newest cd, Fetish was my first 'parental warning' (I was so proud). ;)

I met her once at a concert. She was very nice.

Peace, Meredith Psy:fiend:

[see'r]

actually, the original rap (i'm dating myself here) was pretty neat, back in the sugar hill gang days... but there's been a lot of water under the bridge since then ;)
