What kind of music is listened to... The question seems out of context, which is not say that the question in inappropriate, but what is the reason for asking such a question on this site?

I enjoy smooth/easy jazz.

HHmmmmm...oldies. From about 1956 through 1969/1970. Then some stuff from the 1970's...the 80's...some 90's...very ecletic mix. Oh, and the older country music material, too: Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Patsy Cline, etc. Also comedy material from 1960 until today. "(3.5 WRQN-FM, Bowling Green, Ohio...ROCKS!!! ) ( Blatant plug :cool: )

That pic was snapped on our first tour of Europe and the Sub Continent in '05...I believe we were doing a mix of Captain Beefheart meets Big Mama Thornton vs. Eric Dolphy.

Before the internet and BBS's (or plain brown wrappers) gave wonderful visuals in the privacy of our own homes?

For the obvious effects..... the occasional Donna Summer track, Dolly Parton (well - you did ask), some of the Handel organ pieces have amazing sexy rhythms (Honestly folks...).

There is a lot of very climactic classical stuff out there - even Bolero on a dull day.

In fact, it's fun thinking how erotic some pieces of orchestral music are - just picture the audiences sitting there watching the orchestra jamming into the violins, blowing on the horns....getting carried away.

Unerotic music? The Stripper.

Mid-sixties garage is as erotic as it gets. I frequently listen to it while browsing the galleries. Adolescents screaming their hearts out for girls; trying to play the grooviest song. Pretty much every single song is about a girl.

You know I cried last night, like I never cried before
(Cried before)
You know my baby's gone from me, she don't 'a love me no more
(Love me no more)
And now that we are done, she's talkin' that she has one
I'm goin' home, home, home, I'm gonna close the door

...

ALL RIGHT, CLOSE THAT DOOR!

I like NY punk and new wave from the mid to late 70's, also heavy metal from the 70's and early eighties

I mostly go for 60s classic rock, Beatles, Stones, Hendrix etc. In the 70s, it's progressive rock (now called "prog"), groups like Yes, King Crimson, ELP, Genesis (with Gabriel, forget the later crap!) and Zappa. Also liked a lot of fusion like Mahavishnu, Weather Report, Return To Forever among others.

I like music with brains and not the mind numbing punk and new wave that hit later on like The Sex Pistols and The Ramones. Simplistic music is fine, but that stuff was just too over the top. If I go for simplistic music, it's usually the more blues based stuff like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Winter, ZZ Top and so on.

I like a few Hendrix songs; some of his songs are utter masterpieces -- like Bold As Love.

It all started with Hendrix for me as well, the album axis bold as love opened my mind up, then the British blues invasion/boom led to exploring the original artists - BB King, Muddy Waters, the Wolf, Elmore James - the rougher and dirtier the better! Then the Yanks went through the country rock faze, Emmylou Harris a real fave as is early Neil Young - Progressive rock progressed too far and lost me, except for Peter Gabriel - Genesis. Flirted with World Music and found some great music coming out of Jamaica, particularily late 60's rocksteady and the rootsier middle 70's.

Listening to at the moment? Ry cooder, Radiohead and all the above oops nearly forgot the best band in the world - The Band. :smile:

my heart beats most for early blues and jazz, 20's-50's, some blues artists that Kevin mention, have been listen alot to the great harp player Little Walter who played with Muddy Waters before he started he's own band. I usually listen to internet radio, ******t, jazz, and some blues

In keeping with the theme, 50's-70's rock and roll{most music from that era}, believe it or not, songs had words and singers could actually sing. Then jazz.

I do like some jazz of the freeform variety - Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler and a few others. Early frenetic bop is good as well.

Nowadays I mostly listen to noise and other harsh electronics. Merzbow, Whitehouse, Sutcliffe Jügend and a few others. I've found that my ears have shifted toward sounds in general and soundscapes as opposed to a rigid system of allowed frequencies arranged into pre-determined sequences.

For me it's a mix.

Classic rock; Who, Doors, Floyd, Doobie Brothers, are some of my favorites.

80's/New Wave; English Beat, Specials, Pato Banton, Lene Lovich, Madness, are favorites.

Currently; most music now days is crap. The only thing I listen to now that was done after 1990 is downbeat jazz; Thievery Corporation, Zero 7, Tosca, and Kruder & Dorfmeister are faves.

I also am a Cash fan... only the really "country" music I've ever liked, but frankly, Cash isn't 'country', he's 'American' music, and all of C&W music has been trying to live up to the standard he set ever since, and they've failed miserably.

I guess it's more a matter of what I don't listen to...love the blues, rock from the 50's thru the 80's with some modern stuff thrown in, old-school hip-hop, classical, some show music, the neo-swing from the late 90's and that's all I can really think of now, 'cause I've been drinking and have been up for a long time.

Hi, I listen mostly to muxic from teh 70's/80's i.e. Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Jethro Tull etc. etc. Times when music was music and not some kind of babbling on a monotone drum/base sound. :biggrin:

My tastes in music vary. Anything from fifties to modern rock. Favorites, Buddy Holley, early Elton, Floyd, The Who, Kinks, Stones, Deep Purple. New stuff, some Garbage, but that's mainly because I want to fuck Shirley Manson.

I love early Mississippi Delta blues andlate 60's British blues-based rock, but I am open to many kinks of music. Lately, I have been learning how to read music, after playing guitar by ear for 30 years, and I am gaining an appreciation for Classical music, esp. Bach and Beethoven.

I played the classical violin as a lad, and got many a thrashing for playing fiddle music on it!:mad::smile: Given a choice I'd opt for the classical guitar, especially Spanish classical. Wonderful!:rolleyes:

The music of today I cant barely listen to.

TidiousTed

12-08-2008, 07:35 AM

A rather ecletic mix I'm afraid :smile:

Fifties rock, sixties soul, rythm'n'blues, pop and rock, British folkrock from the seventies, Irish folk and modern, country and Americana from 1990 and newer, blues of any kind and a lot of Norwegian band and artists whos name would mean nothing ro you :rolleyes:

I was talking about this with my older sister (who listens to everything and anything) but the older I get the harder my music has gotten. Right now I'm into Slipknot and System of a Down. Disturbed, 3 Doors Down, 3 Days Grace, if it rocks I'm there. :cool:

Ironically, I'm only 21 and hardly listen to anything past the mid-sixties.

I'm there. :cool:
