Thread: music

Mostly jazz (Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Mingus, Dexter Gordon, Cannonball Adderley, Miles Davis etc) and 70's rock.

I can se we do have a wide and varied intrest in music here. As I said I mostly listen to bluegrass and old time but at times I can really get into blues and jazz. There's nothing like somebody that can really burn up the ivory (plastic now?) with "J.D. burned down the liquor store" I also like Ray Charles and I listen to some pretty obscure stuff too that I seem to be the only one who likes or has heard of it.

i mostly listen to hard rock and most sorts of metal varying from ac/dc to iron maiden judas priest, saxon, manowar to korpiklaani, alestorm, eluveitie

TOOL(the most soothing music ever) Seether Nine Inch Nails Flaw Stone Sour and the Eagles sometimes some Slayer and Pantera when i feel like wrecking shop or before a desert ride.....i like country to when im working in the garage

The older I get the more my taste goes for smooth and easy.I cant say enough about the jazz guitar of Peter White.Its really soothing to the soul,his up tempo tunes are not to much,and the mello ones are fantastic.I highly recommend him.

I go through phases. I'll listen to mostly classical music (love organ and choir) for a while, then listen to small combo jazz, then big band jazz (Buddy Rich is my favorite of all time).

I play the drums and recorder (baroque, not school-whistle) and have noodled with piano, organ, and viola, so I tend to prefer acoustic instruments to heavily amplified or distorted stuff. I've spent a lot of money on stereo equipment to maximize fidelity and minimize distortion, so why should I use it to listen to music that is intentionally distorted?

On road trips, however, it's a different story. That's when Sting, Steely Dan, The Eagles, etc. come out.

Lately I have been listening to Chris Thomas King. He was the guitar player for the "soggy bottom boys" in O Brother, Where art thou. He does some really cool jazz and delta blues.

Amen. If the power goes out we can keep jamming.
I started on viola but haven't touched it in so long I qualify as a noodle-er also.
I tend to agree with you about distortion, though, to hear Hendrix through high fly speakers would definitely be quite the treat for my ears.

Now something totally different. Here's few non-English songs i've been listening lately:

Nightwish - Erämaan viimeinen
