What genre of music are you into?

[Nicky1968]

I am partial to the Scott's and Irish accents. Very interesting music taste you have, fab

 

[JuiceBox52]

...no... country?

I like maybe a half dozen to a dozen country songs and that’s it. My entire town is disappointed in me hahaha

 

[GaryE]

Reggae all the way me

King Tubby is part of the pantheon of local gods in my house. I'm really timewarped on reggae though - after about the mid 80s I lost the thread. It's those big basslines in earlier roots reggae. I don't want to hijack the thread, but there was a ton of genius in that grandfather's reggae period. I-Roy, Lee Perry, Niney, Burning Spear...

Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Sanchez, Vegas ... too many. I'm old school late 80'/early 90's dancehall

In the 1970s I was a partner in a sound company. I used to do the live mix a lot of the time. We worked with all kinds if musicians and music. About the only style we never worked with was classical.

My tastes are pretty eclectic- blues, rock. R&B some jazz and a bit of Blue Grass/Country. Lately I have been listening to Jimmy Buffet, I hit my late teens in the mid- 1960s- so I was smack in the middle of one the greatest eras for music since the big band era. I saw the Stones at their peak in 1969, saw the Dead and Little Feat a bunch of times. Did sound gigs with Doc and Merle Watson, Taj Mahal, Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds, Climax Blues Band, The Persuasions, Sha Na Na, Canned Heat to name a few.

Any fans of Benny Goodman out there? He is who made me a fan of the clarinet and Big Band Music. If you can, watch it in HD and fullscreen on YouTube when the link takes you there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUbgwADLFPM

Country girl, in a country town, who doesn't like country music... I too, am disappointed

In addition to Jazz, Blues, and classic Rock, I love Reggae, especially early Reggae
Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, and of course Bob Marley. I also like Bob Marely's son, Ziggy Marley. Bob Marley died at just 36 years from cancer.

 

[emeraldking]

All kinds of music with the exception of house, techno, dance and other related kinds of music... When house music found it's way to the world, I really didn't like it. Friends of mine said, that I needed to drink a lot to like it. Well, even with an overdose of alcohol, I couldn't appreciate it...

Yes! Faith No More! Great band, underrated in my opinion, and one not many have heard of...which blows my mind

I confess, I haven't heard of the majority of those

 

[TwoTankAmin]

The only band on Mikeyboy123's list I recognize is David Bowie. I was never a big fan of his, however. I still use CDs, But when I was a very young boy I remember my parents playing 78 rpm records. I had cassette tapes in the 70s... My bro still has a large collection of original vinyl albums.

 

[sharkweek178]

Always love a good 80s power ballad.

The kind of song where you know the video is going to have a shot of one of the band members on the tour bus, staring out the window watching the world go by.

 

[GaryE]

I saw The Cure in 1979, as an opening act. A lot of stuff to check out in that list. I'll get to work...

Admittedly, quite a mix of unusual stuff there. I am 50 and have an 11 yr old son and a 13 yr old daughter, so I've been through quite a bit with music. From growing up listening to the likes of human league and adam and the ants in the glorious early 80s period of british pop, to finding my feet in my teens with likes of U2, and then being sucked into the UK Indy scene in the early 90s, then grunge, goth, metal, ambient. I do like more mainstream stuff as well, and as I say, there's almost no genre that I can't find something that appeals,

You will most likely have heard some of it, even without knowing. Perhaps the following notes will jog your memory and/or give you some steer on what to check out, and you never know, you might like some of it. I used to take music far more seriously, but these days I am pretty chilled and just listen to whatever when making my kids dinner. They laugh when i start singing along.

Air - Great french synth duo - Album: Moon safari, single: Sexy boy
Brian Eno - the father of ambient - Album: Apollo, single: deep blue day
Buckethead - you may not have heard of buckethead, but you may well have heard buckethead. Virtuoso guitarist with over 100 albums to his name, was guitarist with guns and roses for a few years. Album: Monsters & Robots.
Bill laswell - producer in the fields of ambient and world music. Fair enough, weird stuff. Hear no evil.
The Cult - Album: electric, single: She sells sanctuary
The cure - massively popular on both sides of the pond - Compilation Album: Staring at the Sea, single: boys don't cry
The Smiths - massively popular in UK, but also had an impact in the USA (included on the soundtrack to Ferris Buellers day off) - single: how soon is now?
Estradasphere - weird stuff. Album: Buck fever, single: meteorite showers
Future sound of London: Papua new guinea is the track that initially hooked me, but a huge catalogue of excellent tracks.
Groove Armada - singles: at the river, I see you baby..,shakin' that ass!
Goldie lookin' chain -very offensive in parts, although massively tongue in cheek and satirical, but probably best avoided for most people. Single: your missus is a nutter.
Jesus Jones: - Album: liquidizer, single: never enough
KLF: started out as record company owners, band managers and producers but then decided to release their own music and were surprisingly successful on both sides of the pond, albeit quite briefly. Album: the white room, single: no more tears
lemon jelly - Album: lost horizons, single: nice weather for ducks
massive attack - album: blue lines, singles: unfinished sympathy, teardrop.
Pop will eat itself - single: karmadrome
Sisters of mercy - album: vision thing, single: more

Mr Bungle - mike Patton's (singer from faith no more) original band and side project, albums: disco volante, california, singles: merry go bye bye, pink cigarette
Utah saints - Album: Two, singles: lost vagueness, something good, power to the beats
Vangelis - bladerunner soundtrack
William orbit - madonna's producer for the ray of light album. The single ray of light is really just a william orbit track with madonna singing. Album: Strange cargo III, single: water from a vineleaf
chemical brothers - come on, you must have heard of these guys!!!! Album: We are the night, singles: we are the night, the salmon dance, block rockin' beats.

As you were.
