Being 18, and having the typical rock n' roll mindset, I like a lot of music, and I'm hoping someone likes something I listen to... Genre-wise: Heavy metal, doom metal, thrash metal, punk, oi and of course, classic rock, everything from Molly Hatchet, ZZ Top to Zeppelin and Thin Lizzy. I can't really pick favorite bands, but I love Foghat, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Anthrax, The Misfits, Suicidal Tendencies and I could go on and on... But Foghat is pretty much my standing fave, I own all of their records and I've seen them live (minus Lonesome Dave, RIP) and I've got two autographed albums I own second-hand, because I wasn't around when they were signed by the original members. Anyone else?
Hi Alloy, I'm a Led Zep man too, though I like quite a lot of rock from the era. In terms of more modern stuff I'm afraid I'm rather more into Indie and Ska, Reel Big Fish, Spunge, Fratellies etc. Also getting more and moreinto classical music, since I pinched ('borrowed') my brothers CD collection and ripped the lot I have a lot of Bethoven, Elgar and Mozart to work my way through.
I like old hard rock, but most definately will pass on the doom\death\thrash metal as well as punk. I have most anything you want to listen to from the 70s (when I was in HS), either in vinyl, CD or MP3. I have most everything that Floyd, Zep, Skynyrd, Boston, etc released. Favs from that era are, obviously, Boston, Zep and Skynyrd. I learned to enjoy classical music as I passed into adulthood and have good bit of it. I also enjoy Big Bands, Easy listening (Martin, Sinatra, et al). I like a great deal, contemporary Christian artists, Third Day, Jeremy Camp, dc Talk and Mercy Me. I like 80s indie bands, such as early REM, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, Blasters, Lone Justice, BoDeans and Guadalcanal Diary. You know, it would be easier to say what I will not listen to. Beside the aforementioned metal genres, I will also pass on having to endure listening to rap. Talking with music, oh boy! Anything else, rock, jazz, motown, country, bluegrass, gospel, you name and I'm all over it.
Literally everything but country and Rap. Classic Rock = Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Goth = Sisters of Mercy, Mission UK Heavy metal = Metallica, Ozzy Ozbourne 80's retro = Depeche Mode, REM, Talking Heads, Talk Talk, Communards Classical = Bach, Mozart, anything Boroque Christian = Jars of Clay, Toby Mack And so on. Whatever mood I'm in determines what I listen to.
Nice to see the Sisters & Depeche Mode on your list PzJgr.:bow: Never got on too well with the Mission but they were astonishing live. Nick Cave & his Bad Seeds, Bauhaus, Dead Kennedys, The Dancing Did, New Model Army. White Stripes, Black Sabbath, Pogues, Oysterband, Siouxsie, Alabama3, Spearhead, Sabres of Paradise, Johnny Cash, Anything from Sun Records, & shufflin' about house music, are the ones that always spring to mind, but the list goes on. Cheers, Adam.
I am just a mess!!! I would say I listen to pretty much anything........ Love classic Rock, Floyd, Beatles, The Who, Rollin Stones, Eagles etc. I also love Jazz and my favorites would be Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis. Classical is also on my list....... With Mozart and Chaykovsky just to name a few As for my wild side........HIP HOP and not the one thats on the radio right now but more old school MOS DEF and TALIB KWELI.... Perfect examples of artists who actually had something to say!
I must admit that I am an AUDIOPHILE. I will listen to anything , except Rap. I define that paticular genre as beats with self-depreciating lyrics. I do like Hip Hop. I can't list every thing I listen to as it would too long, too boring, and most would probably just scroll thru it anyway. I will list what I am currently listening to... Budgie..greatest hits Uriah Heep..The Wizard Mozart..Requiem/sym.35,40,and 41 White Stripes..Iggy Thump Moxy..Moxy Wagner...Der Ring des Nibelungen The Clash..London Calling Tito Puente...Greatest Hits Hank Williams Sr...Greatest Hits Johnny Cash..Live at San Quentin Toots and the Maytals...Greatest Hits Triumph...In the Beginning Calexico..Garden Ruin Rainbow The Kinks..Preservation Society Willie Nelson..Teatro Marty Robbins..The late Great Tesla....Reel to Reel The Stax records 50th Anniversary Celebration Jimi Hendrix...Axis Bold as Love Bach....anything I can grab Floggin Molly,..miles from home The Beatles...White Album I could go on.....
AC/DC is still No.1 for me. The best experience was sitting down at the SAS hotel in Stockholm and having Brian Johnson buy me a pint. He was impressed that somebody would drive 1700km to go to a concert.
