What sort of music do you listen to?

Danked · 05-22-2003, 02:24 AM

The kind of stuff I listen to has been expanding recently, ever since I started downloading music off of Maynard's FTP. Opening my ears to more variety of music out there. Beyond my hippie music, I have a strong love of jazz and bluegrass. There are strong elements and influences of jazz behind the music of Phish and The Grateful Dead so it's only natural I enjoy it too. Along with some of the classic stuff like Dave Brubeck and Charlie Parker, I listen to more modern jazz like Medeski Martin & Wood. Now there's a pretty dinstinct line between bluegrass and country. While I like bluegrass, I have absolutely no tolerance for country music. Can't stand it, never could. There's something raw and beautiful about all those old mountain tunes though.

Hey Ladi · 05-22-2003, 01:31 PM

hardcore, classic rock, rockabilly, swing, radio pop, chick music ... I like it all

johnny cash might be the only country, and eminem the only rap, but that counts right :5:

LZMF1 · 05-29-2003, 02:17 AM

i listen to practically every genre of music.....

GonzoStyle · 05-29-2003, 02:38 AM

well hip hop is obvious ofcourse.

My first love was classical, then jazz.

I still listen to both but the biggest influence in my musical variety were the beatles, from them I moved onto lots of other music which was directly influenced by them.

I also love the oldies, sinatra, dean martin, james brown, etc.

I don't really have genres I like, I like everything, anything good. So mostly its I find an artist and then check them out and see their influences and on and on.

primarilly Prog Metal, but I'll listen to classic rock/classic metal also. I'll pretty much listen to anything except country music - eeeeewwwwwww :crackhead:

First and formost, I like what is pigeonholed as "alternative rock" - although I wonder what it is an alternative to. I like jazz, started listening in High School when I was trying to become a drummer. I grew up in a house with two country music fans (arrrrrrgh!), but I must admit I like Johnny Cash - if you never heard "One Piece at a Time" or "A Boy Named Sue" you havn't heard country music. BTW, have you heard his cover of NIN's "Hurt?"

Goatweed · 05-31-2003, 03:02 AM

no, I haven't but I have heard a little of his music - it sounded too country, or at least what I heard did (don't ask me what it was, I don't remember).

Arpikarhu · 05-31-2003, 10:38 PM

if you took gonzos and sleepers music collections and combined them, my taste in music is the complete opposite.

GonzoStyle · 05-31-2003, 10:44 PM

so you like country music.

Arpikarhu · 05-31-2003, 10:50 PM

if its pre-1965

GonzoStyle · 05-31-2003, 10:52 PM

yeah but if you take what sleeper likes which is the opposite of anything I like, combine it with my tastes then it leaves nothing except for country. I do like Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash though.
