Who do you like for music? What kind of music do you like to listen to i.e. R&B, POP, Country, Rap, Alternative, Classic Rock, Classical, etc. Whom would you say is your favorite music artist? I like to listen to all kinds of different music. I like R&B and Pop mostly. My favorite bands are David Matthews Band, Matchbox 20, and John Mayer. Hope to see what you like for music.
Well, I enjoy the radio. I like spinning the dial and listening to whatever is on. If, however, you're posing the old "desert island" scenario where you have to choose one artist or some such, then I'll choose Duke Ellington. After that it might be Eric Clapton. Jack
Hank Williams SENIOR (not his son the pretender) Janis Joplin (died too soon) Phil Keaggy (spellbinding guitarist--must see if within 50 miles) J.S. Bach (great mathematician, sublime composer, Christian--a real "Renaissance man") W.A. Mozart (died too soon--what might music have become had he lived to 70?) Robert Johnson (the father of all great guitarists)
Singer-songwriters (James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Carly Simon, Stevie Wonder, Tom Waits, Harry Nilsson, Stephan Bishop, Michael Franks, Elton John, Billy Joel) Odd-types (Adrian Belew, Was Not Was, Lenny and the Squigtones, Randy Newman) R and B (Robert Cray, BB King, Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, Parliament) And, of course, the Hungry Hustler, AFROMAN! Go to Afroman's Home Page and order his new CD, Afroholic.
He is marvelous, marvelous . . . Great affinity, also for Orf, Dvorak, Beethoven. And, when feeling especially homesick, Copeland. More modern: I'm an 80's girl who grew up in Athens, GA, so love the early R.E.M., B-52's, Cure, etc. Rolling Stones are sublime, Jethro Tull a big favorite. And, to top it off, anything with a Hammond B-3 in it! Very eclectic, Adrienne
Like so many in today's society I like all kinds of music--country, pop, rock, and classical (Strauss only). Elvis is my favorite male singer, Norah Jones is my favorite female singer, the Moody Blues are my favorite band. About the only music I simply don't like is "Gansta Rap." I can listen to some rap, M.C. Hammer and a few, very few, others. I can easily go from Della Reese, Etta James, Andy Williams, Nat King Cole, and Sam Cooke to Rod Stewart, Elton John, Madonna, Jessica Simpson, Natalie Merchant, Bono, and Michael Jackson. I enjoy many country music singers from Patsy Cline and Hank Williams, Sr., to Travis Tritt, Ricky Van Shelton, Gary Morris, Martine McBride, and Hank, Jr. Odd as it is in my profession, I never cared for Christian music--Stryper, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Sandi Patti. I always felt like many of these artists really wanted to be in secular music but were afraid they'd betray God so they secularized Christian music. We have seen some make the transition from Christian music to secular music such as Amy Grant. On the other hand, however, there have been those who have moved from secular music to Christian music, like Ricky Van Shelton.
Jimmy(My Boy). Well unlike you , I do like Stryper very much. I am glad that they give a positive message to metal. I am very sorry the Timothy Gaines( Bassist) has left the band. Classy as they are, you never heard any backbiting or anything else. Metal- Yes I do love metal so. It is great to run to, especially when the miles get to be a bore. Dokken,Stryper, Cinderella( Blues-Metal), Queensryche,Metallica,Megadeth, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Classic Rock- This kept me going in the 70's when disco was prevalent. Cheap Trick,KISS,Ted Nugent( Eventhough I dont agree with his politics),Styx,Doobie Brothers and the like Pop Rock- I do like Barry Manilow( He put on a great show when I last saw him),Billy Joel,Neil Diamond(Dont ask). I dont like country or hip hop. I just dont get it.
reply I am glad to see the diverse range of music. I also beside liking Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer like Pop music. I like Justin Timberlake, Aaron Carter, O-Town, Backstreet Boys, Madonna, and Nick Lachey. I also enjoy listening to Avril Lavigne, and Michelle Branch (not sure if I spelled that right)?
I think I could live quite happily on the island if I had these artists.. Freddie Mercury, Peter Gabriel, Eagles, Moody Blues, and David Bowie.
I listen to almost anything. But when it comes to actually buying a CD, I almost exclusively buy African: King Sunny Ade, Orchestra Baobab, Youssou N'Dour, Boukman Eksperyans (ok, not African), Manu Dibango, Fela (ok, not recently -- RIP), Abdullah Ibrahim, Salif Keita, Toure Kunda, Mahlathini (the old groaner) and the Mahotella Queens, Thomas Mapfumo, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, Osibisa (sorta African).
The music of Enya is of another world and has the power to transport me there. I also love the music of her sister Moire Brennen. Dougie MacLean is a great celtic troubador. I also love bluegrass, old classic country, a wierd assortment of obscure rock, pop, and folk, and all types of gospel / contemporary christian music.
The Moodys were one of the greatest bands of all time. Their importance and significance have always been greatly underrated. It's sad however what's happened to them in the past 20 years or so. During the recording of Octave, they made the fatal mistake of parting ways with Tony Clarke then Mike Pinder quit. I believe it was all downhill from there. Their last CD that I listened to was Strange Times (1999). I thought it was really bad.
