Radiohead

[Xipe Totec]

15. It evoked Pink Moon, for some reason

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE0ODrmaiFE



Don't know why :shrug:

[BarenakedLady]

24. I'm a Nick Drake fan as well

:thumbsup:

Too bad he didn't live long enough. :(

[Cant trust em]

20. alternative, the most nebulous term in music

Like pornography, I can't describe it, but I know it when I hear it.

[BarenakedLady]

27. My two favorites together

alternative music and porn. :P

:rofl:

[Cant trust em]

31. The new Radiohead is great though, nt

[pink-o]

62. Agree. And I'm old.

I think Alt rock is the legal heir of the great 60s and 70s classic bands, the great early 80s New Wave bands and the great 90s Grunge bands. It's the next great, obvious state of musical evolution.

That being said, I like all styles, except CW. It's just that Rock is in my blood, so it'll always be my favourite.

[LSK]

Nice noise, man!

[mac56]

9. Power pop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akx5vGqIP8M

And you love it too. Don't deny it. And The Spongetones are the reason you love it.

[Xipe Totec]

13. You're jerking my chain, aren't you?

[mac56]

huh?

Not for a minute. Anyone who loves power pop - the 'Tones are the reason.

[Xipe Totec]

18. Just checking

But those guys sound just like The (early) Beatles to me.

:hi:

[mac56]

19. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

And you know that can't be bad.

[Xipe Totec]

32. Not bad at all!

:hi:

[mac56]

40. here's another one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhF8yi5J3kQ&feature=related

[Cant trust em]

30. Sounds like the Beatles to me.

George's guitar sound, Paul's Hofner violin bass, the vocals even have a little bit of Lennon's nasality to it.

Being such a Beatlemaniac they sound great to me.

[mac56]

39. I often tell people: they're your favorite band - -

you just don't realize it yet!

[caesartoday]

60. Salsa

electrifying.

[Initech]

10. Heavy metal

Like Tenacious D says - "You cant kill the metal!" :headbang:

A clip:

[Bake]

14. Got to be the bluegrass!!

There's just nothing like the combination of banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and bass (and sometimes dobro), and the driving tempo, close harmonies, etc.

It's finger-pickin' good.

Bake

[Xipe Totec]

26. Man, if you ever come to Boston,

Check out the Plough & Stars in Cambridge.

http://www.ploughandstars.com/html/music_frame.htm

Ask for Arthor, and tell him a buddy from Firefly Networks sent you.

:hi:

If you want to hear what Arthor's band sounds like, Google "The Bag Boys"

[Bake]

44. Thanks! Will do!

And if you ever make it to Jackson MS (I can't imagine why you would, though ... LOL), come out and hear my band ... Brooks & Baker ... we do a lot of bluegrass takes on Beatles, Skynyrd, Doobies, Stevie Wonder, etc., along with the Monroe/Flatt&Scruggs canon!

[Cant trust em]

16. Rock and Roll. nt

[Jamastiene]

23. I see you like BOTH KINDS of music...

ROCK and ROLL. :D

can't be beat.

[Greyskye]

17. Yes.

Blues, World, Trance, Swing, Techno, Punk, Celtic, Rogue Folk and more.

The Pandora station linked in my sig is the kitchen sink of my musical taste. I've seeded The Eclectic Greyness with all of my favorite artists and genres from all over the map.

Listen to it a half dozen different times, and you'll get a half dozen different styles. :evilgrin:

If anybody does check it out, please leave a quick comment on the page. Thanks! :hi:

[Jamastiene]

21. PUNK

From the word, "Go!" I love punk more than any other kind of music. Plain old Rock and Roll kicks ass for me too.

[SoxFan]

22. The Big Music

i.e., 1980s post-punk with big guitars, big hooks, idealistic, vaguely spiritual lyrics:

37. So awesome, I want to puke

:thumbsup:

[Bennyboy]

41. Bands that jam! (IMPROVISATION!)

I love Bluegrass, Rock, Reggae, Jazz,Folk, Blues and any other genre, but mostly I like bands that play improvisational music with long musical passages. I ahte bands that are so reahearsed that they are playing the same thing night after night the same way that they have for years.

[Fire Walk With Me]

42. Several aspects of electronic music.

NOT including happy house, house, electronica, and anything sappy. DOES include EBM, Krautrock, space rock, IDM, electro, psytrance, deep house, technopop, industrial, avante garde, etc.

[Lethe]

57. you must share with us

I'm always on the lookout for new electronic stuff.

Mostly I listen to goa/psy, but anything good electronic I will give a chance. I like anything acid too.

[Fire Walk With Me]

65. I am seriously out of the loop regarding anything new in the last five or so years.

Autechre is said to have a new recording out, which can be seriously hit or miss..

[Ahpook]

43. I hang around rock n roll mostly

I was just listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlcvJjRvT7c


I really can't imagine WHY that song came in my head? :) Current events?

Had to throw good old Iggy in as well. We all know the first tune. The second one is fantastic, in my opinion.

Always dug the guitar sustain. Simple but effective:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzH4k6JIXCc

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. Classical

But I also love folk... :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

:hi:

[madeline_con]

46. Norwegian Techno kind of rocks.

[Xipe Totec]

67. Please don't say Björk

:scared:

[hippywife]

47. Americana/Roots/Blues/Folk

Yeah...all that stuff! :hi:

[kwassa]

48. Soukous

[harmonicon]

49. not really a style...

I like experimental music.... hard to explain what it is, but it's a real thing (things described as "experimental" as if it were a genre, generally aren't really experimental, just "strange").

I also really like types of rock and roll, from the old stuff up until now-ish, though I'm largely ignorant of what's going on with the pop music in the last 5 - 10 years. I in that vein, I especially like:
the beatles
syd barrett
the velvet underground
bowie
brian eno
kraftwerk
the clash
joy division
the cure
dead boys/stiv bators
echo and the bunnymen
john hartford
my bloody valentine
the boo radleys
unwound
the mae shi
gowns

[Kermitt Gribble]

50. Punk and Folk

are the 2 most frequent, depending on the mood.

[triguy46]

51. Ambient. Brian Eno. Also an unknown pedal steel player named Bruce Kaphan.

But I am listening to Grateful Dead on Sirius 32 right now. I also like classical. I also like Neil Young. I also like Joni Mitchell. I also like Detroit Cobras. I also like Talking Heads.

[Lethe]

56. What is your fav Brian Eno album?

Currently I have Music for Airports, On Land, and Plateaux of Mirror.

They are all good in their own ways i guess. For relaxing music I listen to Plateaux of Mirror a lot. I like to fall asleep in a mixture of that on On Land....but some tracks from On Land can give nitemares. :scared:

[JVS]

53. mellow

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3yiSb6s3AY

[AlCzervik]

54. Alternative used to be my only favorite but the older i get the more i've come to love

all kinds of music....sans country. Don't get wrong i love Johnny Cash but i never considered him "county music" to me he's like one the people who spoke up for the poor and oppressed.

[shanti]

55. reggae

n/t

[sarge43]

58. Classical, jazz, new wave, old timey rock. n/t

[Clintmax]

59. For me...Country!

I was a competition dancer in Country/western for several years (Two Step, Waltz, Swing) and I really enjoy the music. I got away from it for a long time, but about two years ago started listening to it again and got hooked all over again! Give me some George Strait and I'm a happy man! :hi:

[devilgrrl]

61. All of it

:-)

[Twillig]

63. I've always loved rock guitar instrumental.

Starting way back when the record store/headshop clerk dude told me to check out the guitar playing on Jeff Beck's new album Wired.

Nowadays Satriani is my be all and end all for that.

Other guys have their moments (Vai, Johnson) but Satch's playing really gets me.

[BrotherBuzz]

64. Jump Blues is presently at the top of my ever changing list

[DarkTirade]

69. My tastes are far too wide to be limited to a favorate category of anything.

On my mp3 player right now I have everything from a Sibelius violin concerto to Nirvana to The Beatles to imitation 80s hair band (from the soundtrack to the movie Rock Star.) to the soundtracks to the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the queer punk rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

70. In-your-face, guitar-based, blues-influenced rock and roll.

If the guitar isn't front and center, I'm pretty much not interested.

I had three heroes growing up: Neil Young, Frank Zappa, and John Lennon.

Also knew ALL of the classic British bands: The Who, The Stones, The Kinks.

Thought Paul Revere and the Raiders represented the garage band dreams of every teenager across the U.S.A.

It's got to be real and honest or I don't want to know about it.

:toast:

[MilesColtrane]

71. Duke Ellington said it all when he said, "“There are two kinds of music."

"Good music, and the other kind.”

[JackBeck]

72. Electronica.

Not so much House, more break-beats and drum-and-bass.

[Release The Hounds]

73. Metal

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[Ariana Celeste]

74. grunge

for sure

[Pierre.Suave]

75. Classical

simply love it.
