What Sort Of Music Do Members Like?

[Mike.C]

I love my music and I was just wondering what is the MAIN sort of music others like to listen too?

I am sure there must be something I have forgot (just let me know and I will add it) and as I am getting on in years there may even be some I have never even heard of :roll:

I am mainly into Soul, but I do like other sorts too :lol:

One thing I find about music is, no matter what sort of day I have had, if I put some music on it always cheers me up. What do others think?

Cheers

Mike

Hi,

I like lots of diverse music and mainstream stuff. My last two CD where Duffy and Pimp and "Soil" Sessions who are a Japanese "Death Jazz" band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9inwHgymDs I find having built most of my HiFi and modified my CD player it sounds very good and it broadens your taste in music, world music is a faverout at the moment because they all sound they are having so much fun playing, and after all music is all about emotion and having a good system really allows you to feel it. So I can't pick one of the above but I can pick all of them.

As a matter of interest, by 'R&B' do you mean proper Rhythm and Blues such as John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and Sam Cooke, or the pre-fabricated 'every track the same' studio cr*p that's been clogging up the charts for the last 7 or 8 years?

(apologies to anyone who likes it, obviously, I just wish the media had chosen to give that genre it's own name instead of stealing one from another)

Used to be Black Sabath, Deep Purple, Genesis, Led Zeppelin (met my wife throuhg a love of Led Zeppelin 25 years ago :shock: )

Like some modern stuff like David Grey, James Blunt, Athlete, Coldplay....


like a lot of Blues, especially Clapton's blues covers (not keen on Clapton's other stuff though)

Loath pop music

Adore opera too - has the same passion as rock music.

Hi Mods, HELP

Can you please let me know how I can add another 2 sections "Blues and Country and Western. I took it for granted when I started it that I could add another section if I over looked any.

Sorry **** and Reg. How could I have forgot 2 of the most obvious types, especially C&W

Cheers

Mike, no need to ask what I like :lol: I started with the Motown which took me to the Northern soul and rare soul of the 1960's which were left in the vaults because of the Motown saturation.

Mike i'll send you a PM with a link to a group I started 5 years ago.

I have a juke box in my office that has speakers wired around the workshop, It has a variety of 400 albums, 1 minute you could be listening to Sinatra, followed by Metallica, followed by Mozart, followed by Hayseed Dixie, Followed by the pipes. So a variety rather than 1 type.

It's looks a great group Martin. The front page certainly brings back some memories of the Wigan Casino. Not forgetting the other big 2, The Torch in Stoke, and as many will remember the birth place of Northern Soul The Twisted Wheel in Manchester. **** I am showing my age now. :lol:

I wonder what the Wheel is like now?

Cheers

Mike, I have not been out to a soul do for a couple of years but when I did it was great, made lots of friends and travelled around the country and best of all spent weekends at the Skegness weekenders just listening to soul music.
Watch out, you'll be getting the bug.

Good taste, Tony!

Pearl Jam are my favourite band. I used to think that Alive was their best album but, looking at everything they've come up with since, especially their self-titled album two-years-ago, unlike most bands that've been around this long, they seem to have gotten consistently better. Not worse.

I read a while ago that Eddie Vedder and co. don't actually like their first album and don't like to think of 'where they were' at that point in time.

But, you look at the Red Hot Chili Peppers and, you can see that unfortunately their music has changed in recent years to suit what the mass majortiy want to hear. They've had well-documented problems over the years (John Frusciante - have you heard any of his solo work, by the way?) but it's quite sad really.

I'm quite surprised you like Staind though! :roll: I was in to them back when I was a suicidal teenager a few years ago. :wink: Still have a lot of respect for Break the Cycle and Dysfunction, but can't really listen to anything they've done since.

Puddle of Mudd's another name that pops up regularly among the... "older" generation... :wink: What about Deftones? And, you might not like this last one as much as I do (most people don't!!), but I've always been in to Incubus too. :shock:

It would have been nice to see an easy listening category like nat king cole for instance.

Pete..do you mean Duffy as in the current number one Duffy or the other Duffy? I quite like the current number one Duffy but couldn't find a CD reference.
