What is your favorite type of music?
 

Mine is Rock, heavy metal, and techno anything head banging heh

To each their own.. I like a style called "No Depression" :-) Look it up ! Other than that, I also like your typical 'roots' rock, R&B, Blues. And when it comes to live music, just give me some guitar or two, a bass player, some drums, maybe throw in some keyboards.. good melodies, maybe some harmonies every now and again, and SMART lyrics, and I'm there.

I hate to be close minded, but when it comes down to music, my tastes like this:

#1 Todd Rundgren and Utopia (Todd is God)
#2 Yes (Steve Howe and Jon Anderson are prohets)
#3 Kansas - Can't have too much violin or cowbell in my rock and roll.
#4 Rush drummer Neil Peart is unreal. Best drummer and lyrist ever born
#5 Pink Floyd. Dark side of the Moon and Wish you were here are classics
#6 Emerson, Lake and Palmer, tied with Frank Zappa tied with Steve Miller.
#7 Southern rock and roll - Lynard Skynard, ZZ Top, Doobie Brothers
#8 Mid-Northern rock and roll - Styx, Steely Dan, Led Zeplin, Bad Company, Aerosmith, Blue Oyster Cult
#9 Edgar Winter Group, Black Sabboth, Iron Butterfly, Grand Funk Railroad, Three Dog Night, Oh I'm starting to show my age..

But I must admit that I like much of the new rock like Incubus, Puddle of Mudd, Nickleback, and the list goes on....

Yea, but can you dance to it ? :eek:

No, I can't dance to any of it!! In fact, I can't dance at all. But I can hold a lighter up in the air for the longest time before getting burned........

Time now for some ROCK AND ROLL Whooooo!

I love to hear rock and roll but nothing like some R & B and some good Jazz. I am using the search panel on this site for music and not coming up with much is there a better way to find the threads or avatars that are into music?

Hmmm.. well I suppose one way would be to ask.. of course just like everything else, everyone here has an opinion on music, and the tastes are far reaching I'm sure.

it's about to drive poor Stevie Ray insane . ;)

I like talking about music. Just start a new thread and I'm sure you will get some good dialog flowing...

I wonder if it is true that Jazz is the only music genre that was totally born in the US... I once heard that but don't know if it is true or not.

I've heard that as well.. I always thought the claim a bit strange though..
Mississippi Blues started, well, in Mississippi and you got your Delta Blues, and your Chicago Blues and your Texas Blues, Cajun music. :peace:

I love the Delta Blues and I am not sure where Jazz originated ? How do you start a thread ?

Good ol' Delta Blues.. yes, a big fan here as well.
IF you want to start a new thread, click on the left where it says "Forums"

Browse down to where you'll see a list of "Public Forums" select the forum that you want to start a thread in.. like the "Music" forum. Once in the Music forum, at the top of the page you'll see a link for "New Thread"

:peace:

I like Bluegrass music and some of the old harmony groups. I like the new SBRadio and hope to see more local music played there. Great job SBL on all the new changes. :clap:

Steel Drum Music and Pink Floyd. Nothing like the Steel Drum to get you into the island mood Mon.

Floyd... Yeah we need some Pink Floyd lyrics in the lyrics thread.. :D BRB

Slide guitar and six string are a great mix. Nothing to fast with a bit of harmonica too. I love the Delta Blues :cool:
Chris Thomas King from Baton Rouge his daddy owned the Blue Box there for many a year.

Moonshine Whiskey - Outta be a crime
When I start drinkin' - I'm bound to lose my mind
Oh Brother got to get it a few more time

Now what's that smokin' - Yonder cross the hill
Looks like our secret hideaway - We had so many years
John Law done come and run us way from here

chorus
------
He burned down the liquor store
He burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
Well, that bootleg whiskey - Where we gonna go?

Workin' in the fields - All the hot long day
Looks like our secret hideaway - Gone by the way
And now I feel I'm drinkin'my own tears

He turned water to whiskey - That's what the preacher say
Lord I need a miracle - To get me thru the day
Muddy water come and wash my blues away

chorus
------

John law didn't mind us - Having a little fun
Cause when we made money - He would get him some
The joint will rock un - til the morning comes

But when the money got low - He took me off to jail
Cauee i drink all my corn liquor - And had no more to sell
I ain't had no one - To get me out on bail - oh no

chorus
------

Good morning judge - What may be my fine
When the judge taste my whiskey - He didn't give me no time
He said could you make me some more of your moonshine - oh yeah

This may surprise some of you coming from conservative Mama Hen Pokie...but I LOVE hard rock! Aerosmith, The Black Crowes, Guns N Roses, Bon Jovi and yes even Creed. I also love in the country genre Keith Urban,
Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts and Shania Twain...how diverse is that?:cool: :clap:

It first I may be a little shocked :eek: but considering that we may be nearly the same age, I'm not so surprised. Doesn't everyone love the songs of their youth? :D

I went to my fair share of rock concerts in my day: Van Halen, Head East, ZZ top, Styx, Black Oak Arkansas, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Lynard Skynard, I've seen em all...

If we are going back let me point out a few. Boston, Kansas,Steve Miller,Eagles and Styx to name a few and David Gilmour and Rodger Waters too. Super Tramp and The Cars :D Then there was Queen and Dire Straights too.

Hey Issac, what about some Eddy Grant, " I love you Like a mango". Super Tramp and Queen yea. Don't forget Nitty Gritty, "sing the old rugged cross, chord with this now".

I must say I am impressed by the variety here Pokie!!!

Stevie Ray Vaughn, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Jimi Hendrix , Lightnin' Hopkins, Lead Belly and T-Bone Walker to name only a few.

Got to love Ol' Lightnin', he's lookin' for a wig wearin' woman. ;)

“When a man get’s hairy, you know he need a shave. When a woman get’s musty, you know she needs to bathe.” – Buddy Brown’s Blues

Well I could go for that before rap. Black people make some great music but that rap stuff is not music.

I have that now playing in my office and it is like a fine wine just gets better with time. :clap: I will save that to my favorites for sure.

So I wonder how that is pronounced?
