Bubbabob, I completely agree with you and Will Smith about today's Rap (never heard that lyric before, brilliant!!) I kinda liked Rap when it first came out, it was either funny or inspirational. Nowadays.....and the videos that go with Rap? Hoo boy (blush!)

I like all music from Medieval to Gospel to Beck. Easier to say what I don't like. Don't like the "screaming stuff", modern Rap or Country, with the exception of Johnny Cash, and Bluegrass. And Willie Nelson is magical Mood Music for fussy babies. Don't know why, but it works everytime.

Heh, nice choice on the Let it Bleed album. Beggers Banquet and Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are excellent also.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, I had them all back in the day. Although Bleed always did something extra for me. Maybe it was all the drugs back then. LOL.

Goman, yep, gotta love Beck.... :thumbsup: I'm an embarrassment to my kids, but a hero to their friends, I love all the "new stuff"--Greenday, Yellowcard, 3 Doors, etc. I "grew up" in the Hair Band and Disco age (ick) and it's so nice to have some good music nowadays (Thank God for Punk and Alternative for bringing some fun and a melody back to modern music!)

Here's something amusing that the "old younger members" already know, but the "new younger members" don't. My 72 year old mother absolutely loves Punk. :D Son introduced it to her at his High School Graduation Party (not an Open House as there were more kids than adults, as it should be, it was his party!!) and even ended up making her a CD. She says, "this is great, you can dance to this" (she grew up in the Swing age, great dancing music!) Her favorite band is New Found Glory.

AH!!!!!

Live with me.

Here's another to bring back the old times:

Angie, angie, when will those clouds all disappear?

Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats

You can’t say we’re satisfied

But angie, angie, you can’t say we never tried

Angie, you’re beautiful, but ain’t it time we said good-bye?

Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?

All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke

Let me whisper in your ear:

Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, angie, don’t you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet

I hate that sadness in your eyes

But angie, angie, ain’t it time we said good-bye?

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats

You can’t say we’re satisfied

But angie, I still love you, baby

Ev’rywhere I look I see your eyes

There ain’t a woman that comes close to you

Come on baby, dry your eyes

But angie, angie, ain’t it good to be alive?

Angie, angie, they can’t say we never tried

You know what can I say B) (he blows breath on nails and polishes on T-shirt)

I have more but I could not think of them at this point.

My Jazz and Jazz vocal Are the recorded at the highest Bitrate because I enjoy it that much. Nora Jones was hard to classify so I dropped her there.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sorry I had to duck out to run my paper route.

Joe Williams (more of the Big Band Era toward the end)

The answer is yes I have some stuff featuring Count Bassie (funny I don't really have any Count Bassie by Himself

I also have:

Louis Jordan

Ruth Brown

Big Joe Turner

and Billy Eckstine

I have so much archived on disk It would take me awhile to dig though to get a complete list but you name it I may have it or can get my hands on it. (lots of older friends with Vinyl and they pay me to transfer to disc)

Preston, your list reminded me to comment on the great Christian music nowadays. Years ago (Amy Grant and John Michael Talbot era) all "Modern Christian Music" was...well....boring!! It all sounded the same and was "pre-school-sing-songy". Early U2 tried to liven things up, but none of the other artists seemed to get the hint. Give me the old Hymms and Gospel over that stuff.

Now there's Lifehouse and POD and the other great music thats on your list and Christian music is fun again. That merits a "Praise God"!!

Boy, there are some impressive lists here!!

heh, can't let a music thread slip by without responding...

copied and pasted from the 3/27/05 thread with a couple additions :D

I've listened to alot of things over the years...everything from classic rock to jazz to country to classical to blues to hard rock/metal etc. etc. etc.. Since I learned how to play guitar listening to hard rock/metal (still play 23+ years later), that's pretty much what I still listen to, even at the age of 36...No, I'm not really listening to the same bands (well, maybe a couple), there's alot of talented kids out there these days and I've kept a pretty youthful ear...and yes, I listen to the screaming stuff too...lol

For the new stuff, lately my tastes are (in no particular order):

Crossfade, Breaking Benjamin, A Perfect Circle, Chevelle, Sevendust, Soil, Black Label Society, Hoobastank, Incubus, Shinedown, Three Days Grace, Slipknot, Seether, Tool, Nickelback, Mudvayne, Disturbed, Dark New Day

That's nowhere near a complete list, just what I could think of off the top of my head

for the old stuff, I'd be a little too embarrassed to mention some of the 80's hair metal but I was into quite a few good bands back then and still listen to em' a bit....like: Van Halen, Ozzy, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, so on and so on
