I'm way too bored.
I'm wondering what everyone listens to? Music is/was a huge part of my life. For about 4 years I toured in a band pretty full time and it owned nearly every second of my life. That life is mostly behind me, but I still dig and love so much music.
Anyone passionate about any bands/artists?
ericofwar Joey 46 Posts I'm not that into any modern country.. but my job that i got laid off from hand built a lot of custom guitar equipment for big time country talent like paisley, gretchen wilson, etc. we did a lot of rock stuff too... but those country musicians really loved our stuff and put lots of custom orders in with a lot of backstage/vip passes. kyro298 Glider Sprinkles     CO, USA 15262 Posts snusie Goofy Gorillatoes USA 2962 Posts I grew up with classical music, and I love it too. I have my father's record collection which dates back to the 1950s -- vinyl, my friend! My favorites are Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky -- Russian passion! Lots of others too, my taste is pretty eclectic. We always listen to classical at Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. My overall favorite for every day is classic rock and roll, from the 60s and 70s. I love Led Zep, the Stones, the Doors, the Who, Queen, Yes, Santana, the Moody Blues, Emerson, Lake and Palmer ... a lot of classical influence there too. Mollysmom Goofy Gorillatoes MI, USA 2011 Posts Whoa, this is MY topic!  If the musicians are great, I tend to appreciate and enjoy just about any genre of music, from classical Asian (we actually have classical Chinese and South Pacific recordings in our collection) to progressive metal (I am a huge Tool fan and really like Mastadon, too--I think this shocks the beans outta people when they see this "typical" chunky 40+ year old mom, who likes this stuff!LOL!) to Western classical/symphonic/chamber music to Jazz. I even like some classic Country music, but am not a big fan of a lot of the newer country. I love Alison Krause(sp?), though. She's an incredible musician, and she has some amazing musicians working with her. I'm also a die hard Radiohead fan! My "getting going" CD on a lot of mornings during my long commute to my previous job was the Pixies "Surfer Rosa" CD. I can't even give you an educated argument on why THAT particular CD is great to me--it's just fun. My husband and I were both music majors in college. I'm a violist and violinist, and he's a drummer/percussionist. We've known each other since middle school, and also went to the same university together. The thing that originally brought us together was that we were both sort of like musical "foodies", if you know what I mean! If it's great music (which we don't always totally agree on!), we like it, regardless of it's origins or genre. ericofwar Joey 46 Posts quote:

I saw radiohead 2 summers ago and it was one of the best live shows i have seen (and i have seen probably 500 live shows). I've loved the pixies for years, but havent listened to them in a long time... but whenever i do, it all comes back to me. though they are very different, if you like the pixies and radiohead.. you should check out portishead: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnUFhrmk3Os
if i had a time machine, and could go anywhere... i just linked it to you. Mom2MandG Face Hugger 766 Posts quote:

I also love Diercks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, and Blake Shelton. I seem to get bored so I will go through long phases of listening to one kind than switch to another.
Funny I am the same way. Right now I am listening to mainly country thanks to my huge country fan son. I can't have anything else on in the car! He loves Kenny Chesney. And so do I he is a great entertainer. I can appreciate and enjoy almost any type of music. Rap isn't my favorite, but I can enjoy some of it. It is the beat that gets me.

 Oh, I like Portishead, too! They're a very interesting group! You lucky, lucky guy! I would LOVE to go see Radiohead live. I even have a glider named after Thom Yorke...though his name is "Tommy". When Tommy was a joey, he looked remarkably like Thom Yorke in this concert DVD we have. I instantly named him Tommy!  Most of my gliders are named after professional musicians we admire. We don't have a Dizzy (after Dizzy Gillespie), Charlie (after Charlie Parker), or Johnny (after John Coltrane and Johnny Greenwood) at this point. We do, however, have Elvin (after jazz drummer Elvin Jones), Tommy (already explained), Miles (Miles Davis), Billy (Billy Strayhorn), Jaco (Jaco Pastorius), and Yuri (violist Yuri Bashmet). We had three rescue girls named after Ella Fitzgerald, Midori (the violinist), and Hilary (Hilary Hahn, in my opinion, one of the greatest violinists that has ever graced our planet). I rehomed these three girlies to Staci, tballetoes. our2girlz Goofy Gorillatoes United States 2362 Posts quote:

Yeah I don't do rap either, the closest I get is pop. I do like Pink and some ladygaga, but not a lot. There is another group, but I can't think of what it is that I like, but I mainly switch between the hard rock and country, my husband also loves Kenny Chesney and Montgomery Gentry. ericofwar Joey 46 Posts quote:

i have a list of suggestions for you... i don't know if you download a lot... hit the torrents... etc... a little variation in these suggestions... but i'll start with two: Set Your Goals Criteria
kyro298 Glider Sprinkles CO, USA 15262 Posts tisha Goofy Gorillatoes OK, USA 2081 Posts I like mostly "dance" music. Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyke, Armin van Buuren, etc etc. My best friend is a DJ, she has travelled all over the world. She goes by "Kelly Trance". I met her before she ever dj'ed at a party and now she's been to Dubai and literally all over the world to DJ! Anyway, I also like various artists: Circa Survive, Coldplay, Duffy, The Faint, Kenna, The Killers, The Knife, Taking Back Sunday, Tegan and Sara, Gorillaz, Deftones...ok you probably get the gist. And I'm sure 98.9% of the people here don't know what I'm talking about. Oh, and beside all that...I occasionally like a few songs on the radio. My favorite right now is Jay-Z feat Alicia Keys "Empire State of Mind"...that song is AMAZING! ericofwar Joey 46 Posts quote:

. We used to listen to a lot of dance music at the Lake. My husband likes it and plays it a lot on satelight radio in the car. I have to be in the right frame of mind for it, but I can get into it if I am.
