Talisman Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I like most types of music apart from heavy rock and anything manufactured, which I can't stand. My first love is jazz and soul - not the modern r&b, but the real good old fashioned stuff with real musicians and singers - Stevie Wonder, Bobby Womack, Anita Baker etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueK Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well, I'm going to show my age here and say that I don't any of the music mentioned in the 1st post:irked: I grew up in the Beatles/Stones etc era but I really got into the Tamla Motown stuff and loved disco music. I also had a soft spot for Marc Bolan and Jimi Hendrix. But my favourite genres are classical and jazz. Mostly composers such as Rachmaninov, Debussy, Elgar. Jazz music by Gershwin and musicians such as Oscar Peterson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I also like all sorts of music but lately I've been listening to Kings of Leon, Staind, Fallout Boy and Nickleback . I do like Muse though and my son has had Metallica on his ipod dock a lot lately (brings back memories!) - he would prob know all the bands you've mentioned .. he keeps coming to me with bands he thinks are great and I've either never heard of them or have a cd of theirs from years ago ! He has a Nirvana track on as his ringtone and we both like The Foo Fighters! Do you like any of the ones I've mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Child.of.God.1989 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hmm, it should be fun to see all the answers to your question, Tbird! Well, for me, my tastes are still developing. There are still a couple of genres that I would like to explore, like melodic/black and Christian metal, and the fun '80s stuff. The music I do like, though, I really enjoy and wish I could walk around with and share with other people all the time. I am a sucker for good harmony, though I think that's universally appealing; and for innovative instrumental parts. It's important for lyrics to stay mostly clean for me. Music doesn't have to be positive and upbeat, but I don't want to have something unreasonably angry or disgusting in my head. Bands ~> Songs: You'll see a lot of contemporary and heavier Christian, a good bit of classic rock, some big band swingy stuff, slow and mellow stuff, music with a driving tempo, and a teensy bit of pop and country. downhere ~> "The More" Frank Sinatra ~> changes every once in a while (currently 11/08 "I've Got You Under My Skin") Newsboys ~> "Million Pieces" Chris Rice ~> "When Did You Fall" Styx ~> "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)" Led Zeppelin ~> "Kashmir" Demon Hunter ~> "The Tide Began to Rise" Warren Barfield ~> "Reach" Matthew West ~> "The Next Thing You Know" Audio Adrenaline ~> "Lift Me Up" (title?) U2 ~> "New Year's Day" William Joseph ~> rockin' orchestral cover of "Kashmir" Trans-Siberian Orchestra ~> "Carol of the Bells" Josh Groban ~> "When You Say You Love Me" (shut it down, naysayers!) Barlow Girl ~> "Psalm 73 (My God Is Enough)" Cindy Morgan ~> "Dig Up" Koji Kondo (he did a lot of the older Nintendo first-part games, and some of the newer ones) ~> "Zelda's Lullaby" from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy games) ~> "1, 000 Words Piano Version (Julia's Solo)" Coldplay ~> "The Scientist" Kutless ~> "Somewhere in the Sky" The Lonely H ~> "Lullaby Lane" (yay, local bands!) The Beach Boys ~> "Surfer Girl" Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir ~> "I'm Goin' With Jesus" Acappella ~> "Softly and Tenderly" Casting Crowns ~> "Voice of Truth" dcTalk ~> "Jesus Freak" (am I just one big cliche? Man!) Elton John ~> "Your Song" Steve Vai ~> "For the Love of God" Glenn Miller ~> "I'm In the Mood" By the Tree ~> "Wonderful Again" Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ~> "In F, K377 - 2, Tema con Varizioni" Relient K ~> "Death Bed" Queen ~> "Bohemian Rhapsody" Switchfoot ~> "Dare You to Move" Vitamin String Quartet ~> all-strings cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" ...and the list goes on and on.

Peacefield Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I pretty much listen to anything with the exception of rap. My first love is jazz (traditional, not experimental), and I also like 60s/70s rock, showtunes, vocal/instrumental standards and some alternative rock. I have a huge place in my heart for anything Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden/Audioslave included), and oh, classical too. To name a few of my jazz/standards faves: Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Bill Evans, Vince Guaraldi, Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Jane Monheit, Diana Krall, Julie London, Charlie Parker, Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan, Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter, Oscar Peterson and Shorty Rogers.

Roland Butter Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Aretha Franklin, tbird my friend. Almost anything Aretha recorded for Atlantic Records between 1967 and 1973 is the finest soul music anyone ever recorded. Angel is my personal favourite, but you can't go wrong with any of it.
