What's your taste in music?

[Deano]

Mine is incredibly eclectic, more than most I think.

From everything from Springsteen to The Beach Boys, from Sting to Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler to...well lots. Hm I've seen each one of those (well, Brian Wilson in the case of The Beach Boys) except Springsteen. Must book him at some point.

My main two loves are folk and indie.

By folk I mean Nick Drake (my hero), Van Morrison, Ryan Adams, Jose Gonzalez, Simon and Garfunkel, Ray Lamontagne etc.

Indie can be a lot of things, but people like The Rakes, The Libertines, The Subways, The Paddingtons etcccc.

Here's some Nick Drake.
Riverman (someone's dubbed some extra sounds like birds, kids etc on this stupidly) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEAsZa4Qz2Y

Pink Moon (stupid video tbh!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE0ODrmaiFE

[Robusto]

I said you had great musical taste on another thread having seen some of the artists you like elsewhere.

I'll start with this and develop over time, if I may.

[Montesmoke]

muddy waters, phil colins, Hardfi, snow patrol, Muse, also love House music Hardcore (use to be a hardcore & trance DJ a few years back) drum & base, Trance, fleetwood mac, david gray, the verve, Sting the police. snoop dog, 50cent, dizzy rascal, eazy e, dr dre, ice cube, the kooks, the pigeon detectives i could go on. Basically a wide varied mixture :eek: thats the way i like it!
Oh yea & the EK1 Band too:D

[larrysputnik]

Fugazi, Frank Zappa, Phish, Talking Heads, Rage Against the Machine, Mason Jennings (excellent if you're into folk), Tom Waits, 311, Weezer, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Ween, JJ Cale, Negativeland... I should stop there before it gets too much more incriminating.

[Robusto]

It's a bloody hard exercise to pare this down and prioritise.
My most revered artists come from when I was a teenager in the 70s, and they are T.Rex (adore them!) and Elton John (started paying because of Saturday Night, etc). I listen to loads of other stuff, but I always go back to these two.

Mostly 80s stuff, but I like a lot of the new stuff too. Currently in my CD player (always a good indication of musical tastes) I have Elbow, Karl Jenkins x 2, OMD, and an Eighties compilation.

Also like Stone Roses, Oasis, The Verve, Happy Mondays...All the old Hacienda Bands..( O they were the days)

[smokiejoe]

There are so many types of decent music,trouble with me i like it all,from the swinging sixties through to the seventies up into the eighties and then the club scene of the present day,i have such a large collection of cd,s and 45,s to keep me busy for ages.i do think eric clapton is well talented as i find lately i been playin him in the car.what a bloke with such tallents.:D

[Wildwood]

Why has no-one mentioned the Pixies? Came to them late, but what a band!

I can't be the only one who thinks so? Come on, reassure me...

Wildwood

[larrysputnik]

Oh yeah the Pixies are awesome. So is Beck, Tool, Violent Femmes, and Iggy Pop.

[Wildwood]

Don't want to get ridiculed, but always had/have a BIG thing for Kate Bush...think she is absolutely genius, though I'm conscious she's a bit "love her or hate her".

And the first album you ever bought? For me it was....er....Deep Purple in Rock! Well, I was about 13 at the time.

Wildwood (in full confessional mode)

[smokiejoe]

LOL actualy mate i used to think kate bush as a bit of a babe

[Wildwood]

Yeah, me too mate! Must admit, she made puberty rather more bearable than it otherwise might have been....:D

Looks and fantastic talent...just like me! :cool:

Wildwood

[smokiejoe]

Something about her i think,bloody sex cow.lol.it must be those come to bed eyes she had,lol.

[SmokinCohibas]

[Robusto]

I loved their first album with a light bulb on the front. There was a track called 10359 or something. Jeff Lynne is cool indeed.

[smokiejoe]

My sis bought this album back in the 70s,as years went on i started to hear more and more little sounds that made up this great album,you can understand why it was such a big outfit,ie orchestra.If you stick head phones on mate you can really get lost in the music.brings back so many mems of my childhood mate.i will dig out some picks of me in one of the bands bashing away on a lovley set of ludwigs i had,later i changed to yamaha as it sounded a much tighter sound.had loads of P A Eqiupment which i recently sold,loads of peavey and marshall stuff.

[Montesmoke]

[smokiejoe]

[Wildwood]

I used to love Dr. Feelgood...anyone remember them? Pub rock! Saw them in Southampton student's Union, for their Down by the Jetty promo tour...about 1976 I think. The whole place took off...brilliant!

Lead singer is dead now I seem to recall...sad. :(

Proto punk I think.

Wildwood

[smokiejoe]

[Willie1]

ELO are pretty dang good, even though they were popular in the 70's/80's, their songs still sound great to this day :)

I listen to various types of music, it just depends on my mood and what I feel like listening too :)

Willie
