I love it all, from Pink Floyd to Frank Sinatra. I love female vocals, Diana Krall to Astrud Gilberto. And as always, you can never get to much of Take Five and the Dave Brudeck Quartet on vinyl and good speakers.

[ckelly]

Wards

Gotta agree with you on Dave Brubeck and Take Five!

Same with female brazilians, me LIKE :smsex:

This forum is a great idea (Thanks kama) and this thread is a good way to start. Qualifies as a sticky too.

I like most types but rather stay away from the boy band/girl band stuff. :)

1. Most of what I listen to the most tends to be from mid 70's to mid 80's - similiar to my taste in equipment. Like some of the newer stuff from Linkin Park, Macy Gray, Lauryn Hill. Like TLC too and very sad about what happened.

2. Alan Parsons, Rickie Lee, Linda Ronstadt, Pink Floyd, Al Stewart, Billy Joel and Spyrogyra are all regulars on my tt or CDP.

3. Steely Dan -Katy Lied and some classical at the moment.

Donald Fagen is without a doubt my favorite musical artist. His music seems to be built around the general theme of the late 50s-early 60s vision of the technological future as seen through the eyes of a teenager growing up in suburban New York. He has a great mastery of putting language and ideas to music.

As well, I'm a huge Benny Goodman fan.....no surprise there since Gene Krupa was my great uncle :)

[Wardsweb]

Krupa - Let Me Off Uptown. Oh and Goodman - Sing Sing Sing I feel started the whole drum solo thing. COOL !

I was going to ask you if there was any relation to your name here and Donald Fagen's solo effort of Kamakiriad.

Hmmm.....might be ;)

"I was born yesterday
When they brought my Kamakiri
When they handed me the keys....
It's a steam powered ten
The frame is high-end Glasgow
The tech is Balinese....."

"Trans-Island Skyway"....first track from Kamakiriad. There's also "Steely Dan Gold", with a personal favorite of mine, "Century's End".

[Drybasement]

Well, as some might have guessed, my all-time favorite artist/group is........drum roll please........Jethro Tull. Not everyones cup of tea but for me they are Earl Grey. :D

Steely Dan, Moody Blues, Dan Fogelberg , CSNY all rank quite high with me.

I like to head bang every now and then. Nickelback is really good. The new Jerry Cantrell is awesome. Metallica (pre Black stuff), AC/DC (the Bon Scott era) Alice In Chains all get turns in the CD player.

Another excellent band is Gov't Mule. Man, I am sold on these guys. They kick ass. I went and bought every release they have. They rock. Blues style. Check em out.

Jeez, there's so much I like it's impossible to list it all here. I will say this however, under no circumstances will you find me listening to rap, :uzi: hip hop, :uzi: or that boy/girl band crap :uzi:. The absolute worst crap to hit the face of the Earth. I would rather listen to a jack hammer. The end result would be the same.

[moondog]

I like rockin out to vintage 80's hair metal :boink:

[steamshooter]

I've been thinking about this for a few days. I think my brain cell must work differently than everyone elses.:withstpd:
My musical flavors run all over the place. I've never been satisfied with just one type or sound. I listen to alot of what's been mentioned so far.
I think I would have to say that 50s-60s oldies rock 'n roll is probably in the heaviest rotation.
I tend to go for a particular instrument rather than a particular artist or group.
Yesterday for example: I was in the mood for trumpet. I started out with Maynard Ferguson Conquistador. There is a super flute solo in Star Trek Theme. Next was Jethro Tull's Agualung for Ian Anderson's flute. Then it was Tim Wiesberg Rotations (more flute)
Now this can happen with any instrument. Something in the music will trigger a desire for something else that may seem totaly unrelated.
If I'm in the mood for sax, I could go all night from Boots Randolph to James Brown to Goose Creek Symphony to Jerry Mulligan to Gato Barbieri to Buddy Rich to Tom Waits to Ohio Players to Charlie Parker and many more I can't list.
Anywhere along the line something else might strike my fancey and I go off in completly different direction. It's not unusual for Deep Purple to be followed by John Prine:dunno:
I like everything::D
I gets wierder when I'm drinking
:butt1:

[grumpy]

An evening of music at my house dont happen to often but when it does it might go something like this.

Alittle Deep Purple, Fireball, Child in time, Blacknight

Then some Black Sabbath, Faries wear boots, Sabath Bloody Sabbath, Wizard, Sleeping Village, A tons more

Then I might move onto some Stevie Ray Texas Flood or better yet any live stevie.

From there it will be a bit of hendrix Electric Lady Land then one of my favs a Aussie import called the star Spangled Banner and then finally Vodoo Soup.

Buy then I want nuthin but blues so I try out some Cocco Taylor and Buddy Guy and then maybe alittle Johnny Lee Hooker Im Me and as always I finish up with alittle B B King and Lucile Live from Cook County Jail.Damn I love sweet little angel ! Or Kenny Wayne Shepard.

After that I might try alittle Edwin Star, James Brown, SLy and the family, and finaly some Temptations.

And to finish up the night. I move on to some newer stuff like Nirvana In Utero, Blur, Silver Chair, Korn, System of the Donw, Rage against the Machine and then alittle Limp Bizkit and finish up the whole evening with oneo f the Heaviest Albums I own Tools Anima

There ya go. Course it changes alot but these are some of the staples of my Listening

[THOR]

Toxicity roxors joo boxors!! :yippy:

[steamshooter]

Grumpy have you got Made in Japan? Child in Time at chest pounding levels gives me goosebumps everytime! Ooooo-ooooooo-oooooo:D Kinda spooky. I can get a liitle Paronoid with Ozzy too. Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow-Man on the Silver Mountain.
Of course when I'm doing "the everything louder than everything else" category, I am home alone. That's when the weirdnes starts:beer:
By the time I finish up with Alice Cooper, or maybe Ram Jam I'm ready for some Savoy Brown-(Needle and Spoon, Hellbound Train), then I sart worrying and someone else "Slippin' In" while she's pulling a "7-Eleven" on me! By that time Muddy and The Wolf are singing about long distance calls little Red Roosters and doin' the do.

[moondog]

I'm with Grumpy & Steam on this one...

Anything from Alice Cooper to Billie Holiday. Jimi Hendrix to Bob Marley. Jefferson Airplane to Count Bassie....

Too much good music in the world to limit one's self to one type. I live for most all the spices that this world has to offer. Just don't try & make me sit through bad country, bad rap or bad 80 hair bands... :uzi: :uzi: :uzi:

mOOn

[THOR]

Lucky for you there are no "bad" 80's hair bands ;)

[grumpy]

Thor

You obviously never heard the Band Victory before. They sucked Big Black Donkey Balls !I bet there is atleast 1000 other sucky 80s bands ! While everyone was cranking Motley Crue, Warrant and Poison I was jammin to Sabbath,Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, Deep purple, the Scorps . Yeah theres a few bands from the 1980's that were Ok but but for the most part with the exception of the band Suicidal Tendencies they sucked. I will admit that there was some pretty good punk made in the 1980 but rock just werent Rock then.

Who was that said if we all like the same thing the world would be a pretty boring pace

Dave

[steamshooter]

Thanks for the blues Grumpy:D I fust finished up Hooker n' Heat, Buddy Guy-Slippin' In, Gary Moore-Blues Alive, and Paul Rodgers-Muddy Water Blues. I think Robin Trower's 20th Century Blues is next. I've had a good blues day thanks to you.:grnbounce
Brad
There might be a Rubber Biscuit on tonight.

[grumpy]

Trower

One of the only guitarist to rival Mr Hendrix in pure power on the Guitar ! in my opinion. I can spend days listening to him. Seen him live in the 80s and am still blown away. I love Victims of the Fury.

Dave

[moondog]

"1000 other sucky 80s bands"... (Amen Grumpy) Big Black Donkey Balls ! ;)

As far as that Hendrix rival list goes... I'd have to add Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush to that list along with Trower. I seen them both on the same bill together in 1974. Talk about conjuring up some spirits! :guitar:

mOOn

[Helix]

Yup, Trower and Marino, both great guitarists. I saw trower in '75 and Marino (Mahogany Rush) in '79. I'll give you another...Ulrich Roth. He played with the Scorpions from the mid to late 70's. An absolute phenom on the guitar.

IMO though, they ALL fall short of Hendrix. He was simply in a class by himself.


Helix......listening to Machine Gun from Band of Gypsies :-)

[moondog]

Jimi is the Master. (PERIOD.)
