Hi all, just wondering what music people listen to. Music soothes my soul, poems lyrics and words are powerful things but when music is added to this potent mix, we get something that is truly special and unique. Listening to my favourite bands often helps to lift my mood $%$. So, what do you folks listen to?
I personally have a broad taste, from the arctic monkeys to led zeppelin and everything in between!!
-
Come on people!! What music helps you through?
-
all sorts really, Pink Floyd (the earlier stuff like Echoes) abit of Soundgarden, The Pixies sometimes. I even like the 80's pop sometimes that I grew up with, the synth pop of that era. The Beatles sometime or 60's music. At the moment I like a singer called Mark Lanegan, kind of grunge era folk rock is how I would describe him. Abit of King Crimson now and then. Thats all I can think of right now
-
also like abit of Led Zep now and then, just amazing as band, four amazing musicians in harmony. I like Quadraphenia by The Who, if ever there was an album more about loss of indentity or disillusionment I have yet to hear it.
-
Depending on my mood depends on what I listen to. I 'grew up' listening to '60's music, trad jazz (dad's favourite music), opera, classical (mum's favourite music), but I like anything form those types of music through to bands/singers such as Pink Floyd, Genesis, Queen, George Benson, Lionel Ritchie, R Kelly, Diana Ross ....
-
I like Meatloaf, Lady GaGa, Adele, Prince,StereoPhonics,Cher, Tina Turner, UB40, Brian Adams, Beautiful South to name just a few :). S x x x x
-
Sometimes Enya is just so beautiful. The bit from the film LA Story where Steve Martin and Victoria Tennant become as children because they are walking together and have just fallen in love as an Enya song plays, is really amazing and I so wanted love to be like that! At other times, Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb is the right soundtrack for my life. Then there's the times that Rage in the Machine's Killing in the Name of fits perfectly! And Jupiter from The Planets Suite can often move me to tears. That's a short list of the 4 most important pieces of music to me, but there are many variations, depending on the frame of mind. Sorry! I know you didn't ask for my entire life history! ;)
-
All music except that new fangled monkey music.
-
I'm pretty open minded and it depends what kind of mood I am in.
My favourites would be Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair, Incubus etc etc.
-
Pink Floyd, Eagles, Ella Fitz, Scissor sister, Billy H, Eta James,Leo Sayer, anything classical and relaxing.... Gregorian chants etc, Queen, Neil Sedaka, the tragically late Amy W, Tony Bennet, Sinatra.... just listening to a CD now that a friend gave me the other day, a compilation of Sinatra, Tony Bennett and that show off Michael Buble... lovely Sunday afternoon music (on a Friday!)
-
I love the Sensational Alex Harvey Band rock is my most fav the louder the better. I also like clasical and easy listening anything really but cant listen to music when Im really low for some strange reason. Queen and Alice Cooper are great favs as well. I also like early Dylon, James Taylor and Neil Young. I was a child of the seventies so grew up with glam rock so still can be seen hiding in a corner listening to things like mud wizzard slade etc etc.
-
Turquoize obviusly have similar taste, have seen Alex Harvey Band a few times, also Hawkwind was my local band! I now enjoy a lot of the music mt kid's listen to although can't really get hip-hop. Do understand the drive of drum and base. Think my kid's find me embarrasing!Any kind of music is good as long as it give's you a buzz.
-
Hawkwind, Neil Young - it's like somebody has been through my record collection. SAHB, Queen, Dylan, James Taylor, Slade. I've been lucky enough to see them all. Hawkwind I saw 17 times with all the great lineups except for Lemmy, but Motorhead were supporting on that night. Here you could do with a smiley of somebody stifling a yawn! I'll take my own hint and shut up. Almost immediately. Bye. +-_
-
Great to see people with impecable music taste much the same as me lol. I went up to Glasgow to the Appollo a fantastic venue sadly no longer there to see SAHB I was only sixteen and cant believe my mother let me go on my own with a friend of the the same age, anyway we went up to the city and had a fantastic time very happy memories.
-
I have quite an eclectic taste in music from heavy metal led zep, Foo fighters, stone sour etc to classical music which I find quite relaxing and all stuff in between. No a great fan on R&B and certain rap music my 12 year old has discovered gangster rap hopefully he will grow out of it !!!. $%$
-
Michael , Hawkwind were very much my local band in my middle teens, Lemmy and Stacia included, Also have a memory of Hawkwind setting up at the Windsor Festival(illegal) chucked out at dawn. They just played in the middle of the park. all a bit vague now. Does anyone remember Van Der Graf Generator? Big around that time. Found some of them on progressive music in local pub and cleared the younger people in seconds. Oh Happy days.Watched a documentry abot Led Zep earlier also, think I should go back to the 70's , all seemed simple then.
-
Very varied taste in music, depends really what mood I'm in, Bon jovi, Metallica, cash, faithless, Sinatra/big band.
There's no doubt that music does help you through some of the bad times
-
athens you've stirred up a few memories! Oh, Stacia. Wow! I think that hers was the first moving naked lady chest I ever saw! m155
Peter Hammill and Van de Graaf were good, but I only actually saw him supporting (I think) Peter Gabriel. I never saw the actual Generator. Oh, for a Time Machine.
Sorry if I sound like a perv, but I was at that age. :-[
-
Do you remember a band called Stray? One track called all in your mind always brings back great memories for me. Try it on U tube, also Uriah Heep , Gypsy. Oh and Steve hillage and Gong, Still play this stuff now when in the mood but like lots of other music too, dont have much choice with 16 and 23 year old sons. Must admit dont really get Hip Hop but can understand the Drum and Base Dance music. Also love Muse.
As to lusting after Stacia didn't all the lads do that. She was a very big girl from what i remember!
-
I don't remember Stray, but I'll check them out. Steve Hillage WAS god. A really great guitarist live. I only saw Gong after they had turned, well I don't know - Jazz/Rock/Funk? Anyway. Daevid Allen had left, so there weren't any Pothead Pixies or Flying Teapots. I did see a set at a free festival on the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge by Daevid Allen and his lady, and it was WEIRD! Maybe something to do with the strange mushroom tea I had ingested. Roy Harper was there too. Somebody told me that Nik Turner had played as well, but I think I must have crashed. The person who told me that was always trying to wind me up. He often turned green.
Did you ever see Bob Calvert with Hawkwind? He died too soon - eccentric but very talented. Michael Moorcock was quite memorable as well.
There's still lots of good music around, but an awful lot of dross as well. I never thought I'd be like my dad, but music WAS better back then. Songs had a beginning, a middle and an end, and you could understand the words! How he'd laugh if he heard me say that. I'm an old fart, and no mistake. I remember when you could get into a gig, buy a T-shirt, have a drink and a burger, and still get change enough from half a crown to get a taxi home. =+- OK, maybe not.
-
I don't know, my 16 year old is going to see Ed Sheeran next Monday, Very jealous. And I was bought up on Johnny Cash, didn't appreciate him then but now think he was great. We all change. I still try and get out to see local bands although a lot of them just do covers but I just love live music, rock or acoustic. As to stonehenge, I often pass it on the way from cornwall to London and you cant get near it these days. Also remember lots of FREE concerts at Hyde Park. Not much chance of that these days. Oh god, think i need to get my smelly Afghan out and find some Patchouli Oil.
-
Are you Ok Micheal? havn't heard in a couple of days? reckon we are around the same age, same music etc. Good to talk to someone who has my memories.When things are crap now always go back to old days. Not sure if thats good or not?
-
ummmm...
Showaddywaddy
Rubettes
Mud
Slade
-
I'll bet that you were a Gary Glitter fan as well. I loved him, but it's not safe to admit it since his indescretions. I saw him 3 times, and saw Slade twice. Happy days! I never caught up with the others, because they all had difficult dances, and I have got no coordination at all. I developed into a heavy metal fan - I could manage head-banging. _-+
-
A side of you havn't seen so far Michael, have to admit Slade were a good band. Noddy Holder amazing even if started off as a skinheads.
-
I have quite a wide taste in music too. Mew, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Metronomy, Pentangle, devendra Banhart, Deftones, Kate Bush...
Favouring some folkie dokey stuff at the moment though. Spirals by Adem is my fave track at the mo. So beautiful. A few years old now but I still love it :)
-
Nay, you kids and your crazy Music! I like classical.Have you ever heard of the Beatles? Slade started off with stomping type music. Was Skinhead Stomp one of theirs? I could Google it, but I'm too lazy to move my Google finger. Yes, I have assigned different digits to every task.
I know somebody who looks like Kate Bush. (Just boasting!)

I like many kinds of music, but recently recaptured my obsession with trip-hop.

Edit: and this one ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIxnSyqS0XM ), I saw Tricky do this live... ohhhh amazing ^%$ "£$

Well, the other night, while on Utube for the very first time. I came across my teenage taste in music...Leo Sayer from 1974, in his crazy clown outfit. I was bopping up and down on this chair. Funny "One man Band" I've not heard since about 1979 but still remember every word and beat. Listening now. He was definitely underrated. Here's the link if any of you old timers want a trip down memory lane
