Music

[1701E]

After some recent posts about music (I use that term loosely in some cases) I started to wonder, what do people around here like?  Serenity's music thread showed what some like and the "Free-style" thread, clearly, showed what most do not like.

Personally I can listen to most anything, and do listen to most anything.  Just some things I have in WMP are:
>Classical (Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, and so on)
>Then from the 50s-80s (Elvis, Bobby Darin, Huey Lewis, Beetles, Pink Floyd, Doors, Rolling Stones, Skynyrd, Zeppelin, The Who, Dire Straights, Iron Maiden and so on)
>Newer music in just about every category (Breaking Benjamin, Bon Jovi [ok he falls in two ages], NIN, Metallica [again, two ages], Coheed & Cambria, David Cook, Daughtry, Disturbed, Maroon 5, Sevendust, SOAD, Hollywood Undead, Weird Al, and so on)

I am not picky in music, as long as it not "Heavy" rap, "heavy" country, "heavy" metal or any extreme ("heavy") really I can listen to it.  So what is the majority of music listened to here?  Have a feeling there will be a large majority with music from the 80s and back...old geezers.

I like more songs as I heat them, but some are:
Styx, Boston, Jovi, Daughtry, Shinedown, Skillet, The Fray, A7X, Children of Bodom, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Guns n Roses, Green Day, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Rush, POD, Three Days Grace, Soilwork, In Flames, Papa Roach

80's?  Kids.

Try the 60's.  That was a great decade in music.  That was rock-n-roll.  Oh yeah.

I like classical as well.  The Wife and I are going to listen to the Dallas Symphony do Pink Floyd in a couple of weeks.  Should be interesting.

I listen to it all, aslong as its good. So in conclusion, i listen to good music and thats final.

People who limit themselfs to one category of music only, needs to get out of puberty. Like "Im a hardrocker" "Im a Hip Hoper" etc etc only shows your maturity level.

60's?  Relic.
If I had resources to get everything I listened to more then half would be from the 50's-late 70's followed by Classical then newer music.  I just can't limit myself to one type of music.  If one day I get all the music I would like, it would fill my HDD a few times over and would exceed the post character limit (up to about 200 bands/artists/composers right now).

"No way man, I dont listen to that crap. Im a rocker dude, through and through."

That was the first thing that came to mind when I read your reply.

Being a musician has given me an appreciation of all music that is weel done, but that doesnt mean I like it all, at the moment I have two cd's in high rotation at home, one is The Black Crows greatest hits the other is Blood Sugar Sex Magic by the Red Hot Chille Peppers. Aquick scan of my collection shows Muddy Waters, SRV, Mettalica, Hill Top Hoods, The Infectious Grooves and Johnny Winter all near the top of the pile which means they've been played recently. So in summing up, I guess I'm into raucus guitars.

I'm a pretty big music fan, and I hi-fi audio nut (wish my wallet could support my hi-fi desires though ).  I listen to a little of everything at some point.  As I've posted in other threads recently I've really gotten into several smaller acts in the last few years.  Guys that you can go see at a club for $10-$20 a show and shake hands with after the fact.  There are some immensely talented musicians out there that go relatively unnoticed. 

To reiterate a few that I've posted on recently. All of which can generally be classified under the broad Rock 'N Roll label;

I'm sure if I sat here I could probably keep the list going hehe, actually curious to see if/how many other people around here are cursed with the same affliction that got me.

I love music in general, but I have a lot of trouble finding people that I can share my tastes with and exchange preferences. I mean, it's a bit hard to find people who like Techno/Electronic/DnB/Whatever-The-Frak-That-Record-I-Pulled-Out-Of-My-Dad's-Record-Collection-Was. I mean, North Kansas City is not known for its open minded people. Dang Top 40 folk. I don't mind those songs and would be a lot more accepting if they would get their heads out of their collective posteriors and realize that not all good music has to be in the Top 40.

The Newgrounds Audio Portal has been very beneficial to me.
My most recent acquisitions include: Breathe Carolina, Owl City, Daft Punk, The Ventures, and Approaching Nirvana.

 True the 60's did have the greatest band to ever walk the face of the earth....The Beatles.  IMO there will never be another musical group that can top The Beatles.  Now as a generation, the 70's had the best music.  I love Skynyrd, Zeppelin, The Eagles, Aerosmith (they could be 70s 80s 90s or 2000s  ).  The 80s sucked with the exception of metallica, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and other one hit wonder hair-metal bands.  The 90s sucked period. and modern music sucks.    

IMHO the order of the top 4 greatest bands of all time goes like this
1. without a doubt The Beatles
2. Aerosmith
3. Lynyrd Skynyrd
4. and #4 is a tie between Zeppelin and Bon Jovi.

*again this is my personal opinion, if you disagree with my favorite bands thats fine.

I like to think of myself as a Music Lover. Where most people have a favorite genre and mainly listen to music in that category, I listen to every and all forms of music. From stuff as heavy as Metal, to stuff more calm like Classical, from Punk rock to Techno/Trance, and yes even some RAP. I'm not a particularly big fan of RAP, but some songs are ok. I just love music!

 

[Phantomz]

I listen to just about everything not so much into jazz or classical but country, rock, metal, rap, hiphop just as long as it doesnt annoy me ill listen to it.

[1pLUs44]

Jimi, SRV, Blink 182, Staind, Rancid, MXPX, NOFX (in small doses), Sum 41, The Transplants, Kevin Fowler, Angels and Airwaves (again, in small doses), Plus 44, Bon Jovi, Simple Plan, Bowling For Soup, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Jake Owen, Alan Jackson, Billy Currington, and plenty more

[sluggish]
