Music

[CrnCnn]

Due to the recent discovery of new music and artists, thanks Bart, I wanted to know what everyone listens to. I really love music and personally very eclectic. However, I feel I am a mainstream eclectic.

EXPAND MY HORIZONS…..

Eclectic you say?...try "pickin' on Pink Floyd" a bluegrass tribute.
You ain't heared music till' ya hear "wish you were here & comfortably numb" played on a banjo.

Bluegrass

Actually, mostly Country but I really do listen to Bluegrass on occasion. Maybe that's why I haven't upgraded my sound system. Country just doesn't blast & reverb the way other music does.

Damm Ldub, I didn't even get my response typed in before you stole my thunder.

[Ldub]

That is hilarious...the first two replys go toward bluegrass.

I have this one, Luther Wright and the Wrongs - Rebuild the Wall.

It is a good album. I like bluegrass.

XM Radio - Audio Visions and, sometimes, XM LED.

Audio Visions (defined as cerebral new age) relaxes me in traffic and suppresses the desire to commit bodily harm to other drivers. XM LED (Led Zeppelin 24/7) for times when I need to rock. My entire collection of CD's fits in one small carrying case and hasn't been used in years. I have Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Santana, Iron Butterfly, etc. Is my age showing yet?)

Needless to say, I don't listen to music much, except when I am driving.

I gotta say I am really not a fan of these genres, but I do like bits of them.

Degarmo & Key, Davic Meece, Keith Green, Small Town Poets, News Boys, Petra, DC Talk, Weird Al Yanchovick, Oldies, some Country, Pretty much a lot of everything, but for me the lyrics gotta be clean. Ohhh, and don't forget One Bad Pig and Johny Cash doing "Why I wear Black"!

[nfpgasmask]

but for me the lyrics gotta be clean.

So I take it Lil John, Too $hort and 2 Live Crew are no good for you...

Otep - One crazy hot and bothered chick screaming her own poetry. A must listen for metal fans.

Finger Eleven - Several albums from this group have gone unnoticed. They have their own signature 'rock' sound that is easy to appreciate.

TOOL - Come on, quite possibly the successor to Pink Floyd light shows. There should be a genre of music called "Tool" because of their influence.

Acid Bath - Older underground melodic metal from sons of Satan. Beautiful.

Acumen (or later, "Acumen Nation") - GREAT electro beats and creepy lyrics such as "You ain't got the balls to be a hero, especially when I cut off your arms, cut off your arms, cut off your arms!" I think Bart would like these guys before they dropped the Industrial sound and added 'Nation'.

Static-X - Probably the best concert I have been to in terms of "sounding like their albums". Their replay factor seems to fade though.

Chevelle - A rock band that continues to grow with every album.

Marillyn Manson - Say what you will, but Manson has entertained just about everyone in one way or another.

Prick - "THERE ARE NO FAIR FIGHTS!" Sing along industrial electonica. "You found a garter belt on my nose... I warned ya." Love it!

OK, George Strait, Johnny Cash, Keith Whitley, and some other country singers, I can actually enjoy. Otherwise, I sometimes listen to classical music when I am writing. But, sadly, if a hot chick is singing, I generally like it! I'm a sucker.

Yeah, Acumen, I do like the older stuff a lot better. I saw them live a couple times back in Chicago. DJ "Acucrack" used to spin a lot back there, still does I think...

And all this talk of Johnny Cash...I love Cash, but I personally can't lump him into country. I mean, his older stuff is definitely more country, but to me, his newer stuff is more folk. All I know is that his cover of NIN's - Hurt and Danzing's - 13 are unbelievable....and SOOO much better than the originals.

I cant stand Cash.
