Off topic>What music styles do you like?
Hi spyderfools.What is your fav music style?
Very wide ranging.
I've always been a rock nut and even like the modern varients like Limp Bizket, Papa Roach, and Green Day. Whilst in the middle of a very intensive job last year, I realized that I had been listening to Linken Parks new album for 16 hours a day for the last week.
For studying I like clasical music, Mozart and Devochak (SP?) work well, and even though I like Wagner, it's not really study music.
I've always had a soft spot for 50's Rock n' Roll as well as 60/70's Soul. Noticable favourites being, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Otis Reading.
I like a lot of the stuff that was once labelled "Brit Pop" like Pulp, Blur, Steriophonics and more reciently Gorilaz.
I even like traditional Punk, the energy was something phenominal.
Although I like the old style Country, spent hours listening to Jonney Cash and Marty Robins (I link Bruce Springsteen to this group, simple music for simple folk about their daily lives), but a really dislike modern country, to me it sounds like people that couldn't make it in the main stream pop charts and so put on a cowboy hat.
About the only other music I dislike are manufactured boy/girl bands and Hip-Hop. Manufactured bands for me sound too clean and sanitized. The best quote I heard was from the band Steps, they stated they didn't want to be compared to ABBA, my first thought was "well stop doing ABBA covers".
And Hip-hop just grates.
"Walk softly, but carry a big stick."

Every generation needs to find music their parents can't stand. My kids listen to, and I can't stand...rap. Bad poetry set to bad music. UMMV.

I'm a 'contemporary' Christian music fan, myself.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I really enjoy all these groups:
Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sonic Flood, 3rd Day, P.O.D., DC Talk, Caedmon's Call....to name a few.
I gotta agree with Yog. Modern Country is NOT my favorite. I will listen to just about anything else before I tune in to that stuff.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
To each his own.......<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Oh, music, one of my passions! Here goes:
Grew up loving progressive rock (Genesis [the real stuff, not their 80's and 90's work, have all their LP's up to Invisible Touch which sucks, btw], Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Camel, Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett just when they left Genesis, Yes, Uriah Heep, Pink Floyd, Blue Oyster Cult, Jethro Tull, etc.); loved true "rock & roll" which I got from my father (Bill Haley and the Comets, Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, etc.); loved punk later on and yes, I wore spikes and chains with padlocks! (Iggy Pop [and The Stooges], early David Bowie, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, The Cramps, The Ramones, etc.); had my New Romantics period (Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Kajagoogoo, ABC, Talk Talk, Culture Club, etc.); loved heavy metal and hard rock (Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio, Judas Priest [had a crush on Halford, got a bunch of ear piercings due to him], Deep Purple [kinda progressive at times], Led Zepellin, Sepultura, ACDC, some Billy Idol stuff, etc.); have always been in love with Mick Jagger, therefore the Rolling Stones will always rule; Queen, of course, and Freddie Mercury, wore black for a week when he died; had my "protest rock" period, an Irish Band at the beginning of the 80's just blew me over and I adored U2 for years and years which led me to buy every one of their LP's until Zooropa (I hate Bono nowadays, but I did get to see "The Joshua Tree" concert) and I adored Midnight Oil (just saw them a couple of months ago in concert, they still rock!); loved Michael Hutchence and cried when he died, saw INXS twice, once during their Kick Tour; turned goth in the early and mid 90's (Dead Can Dance, Therion, Rhapsody, Cocteau Twins [early stuff], The Creatures [Sioux and others] etc.); love Orff; since I am a "Clockwork Orange" fan I had my crazed twist with Beethoven for a while; love Calypso especially Harry Belafonte; had my reggae days with Bob Marley parties and my Caribbean friends at the time; had my romantic days with Agustin Lara {one of the best Mexican composers there has ever been, very old stuff); Mexican Rock (Caifanes, El Tri, Jaguares, Chac-Mool); Paco de Lucia and wine from Rioja (Spanish guitar); and I now listen to progressive rock again, more than anything else. It's an old vice I can't give up. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
So, music can be divided and subdivided into so many currents, but I pretty much listen to everything except Country (unless it's Stevie Ray Vaughn and his guitar), and Rap (the only band I liked was Arrested Development). And I love the Blues (B. B. King) I could go on for days, for I love music, but I will stop now. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Do you know what happens when you play country music backwards?
You get your wife back, your dog back, your house back, etc.

Green Day, Metallica, Bon Jovi and Smashing Pumpkins, Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani and Nirvana. I also like classical music, especially composers like Strauss and Pachelbel.I guess its a mix of hard rock, alternative, classical and instrumental. I despise manufactured boy/girl bands with names like Spice Girls, Insync, backside boys as they generally have zero talent and are flasy with no substance whatsoever....All that glitters is definitely not gold. On a brighter note,looks like most of us Spydernuts have more or less the same good taste....More hard rock and less pop.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Kirath,
OMG! Are you THAT old? Man, you are ancient! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Just kidding... hey, I did confess to like rock & roll, Bill Haley, Fats Domino, Chubby Checker and such. I also love rockabilly, the best of _my_ day were the Stray Cats, way back when... <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Ok, I am only 31, but my dad has always been a great influence on me. He is my hero musically and "knifely" speaking.
So, how old are you? LOL!

Grew up on R&B: The Shirelles, BB King, Fats, Moonlighters, Johnney&Joe, "Earth Angel". Later could not get enough of "Louie, Louie". Tried to play steel pan real calypso but did not work. Now play music from state of Veracruz, Mexico. Not bad for a gringo. None of that northern "banda" crap, Kahz. (Yo, just kidding). Feel like Im coming from a different planet here. Must be the age.
