DVauthrin, You say you "like most anything", but I somehow doubt I'll ever see you (not that I would be there) at a Britney Spears, Ricky Martin, Whitney Houston, Aaliyah, Hanson, Randy Travis, Immature, etc concert. Me, I like Classic Rock the best. I also like 70s funk. 80s music has a soft spot with me, because those were my formative years, but there's lot's from the 70s & 80s that I still hate. Favorite Bands Classic Rock: Jethro Tull, Aerosmith, The Doors, Steppenwolf, The Beatles, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Creedance Clearwater Revival, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc... 80s: The Police, Metallica, Guns 'n Roses, Lionel Richie, Mr. Mister, Motley Crue, Duran Duran, Whitesnake, Micheal Jackson, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Skid Row, Sade, George Michael, Prince, NWA, Run DMC, etc... Newer (slightly): Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tony Braxton, Pearl Jam, etc... My favorite album of all time is Guns 'n Roses' "Appetite for Destruction". I can listen to that one album over and over and over again without getting sick of it. I think no other album is better (may be equal but not better) from the 1st song to the last. I obviously don't listen to country music. Never have, never will. I don't listen to as much hip hop as I used to. I still listen every once in a while, but I don't like most of it now. What really irritates me is pop music. I like "some" pop music from the 80s, but cut me some slack, some of it was okay. But, now I am too old (I guess), and I cannot stand today's pop music. I hate 104 KRBE. ------------------ I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem. DREAMer's Rocket Page
80's music and the groups that formed from them. Joy Division/New Order, A-Ha Erasure, Cure Pet Shop Boys, Monaco OMD, Anything Box Electronic, When In Rome Duran Duran, Konkan Depeche Mode, Bad Boys Blue Cause & Effect ------------------ "Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me There's so many ways our lives have changed But please, I beg, don't do this to me" - New Order [This message has been edited by Smokey (edited August 09, 2000).]
I can't list bands (too many), but here's a shot at genres I have come to appreciate: Rock: from Zep to Vertical Horizon Alternative: from Nirvana to the Foo Fighters Pop: from the Beatles to Seal and Sting R&B: Mowtown, Atlantic and Stax Singer/Songrwiter: from Billy Joel to Duncan Sheik Jazz: from Chalie Parker to Teodros Avery Fusion: from Miles Davis to Mike Stern Instrumental: from Mahavishnu Orchestra to Joe Satriani Pop Folk: from Joni Mitchell to the Indigo Girls Funk: from the Brothers Johnson to Prince (and I am funky) Latin/Salsa: from Santana to Ruben Blades Hard Rock: from Rush to Creed Pop Vocal: from Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra to Diana Krall and Cassandra Wilson I also like some Brazilian, African and middle eastern music, a little blues and just about everything else except for serious country (anything beyond Rosanne Cash, kd lang and Lyle Lovett is a tad out of my range). I wish I knew more about rap and hip hop and I'm embarrassed that the sugar hooks of Brittany Spears and the Backstreet Boys make me tap my foot. ------------------ Save Our Rockets and Comets SaveOurRockets.com
I like a wide variety of music. I can't stand country. Motown is the greatest record label ever with their two greatest acts being Boyz II Men and the Temptations. I think i remember Rudy saying in his autobiography that he grew up a temptations fan. Anyway, DREAMer: I definitely agree that Appetite for Destruction is a GREAT album but i may be topped by Boyz II Men's Cooleyhighharmony or Metallica's black album. I, too, hate most modern pop, especially those blond chicks and those loser guy groups. ------------------
If you want to be cool like me pick up one of the 40 albums by the Cocteau Twins... you can't go wrong (Treasure is a good start). Jeff, if you're listening to boys' bands... you'll never be as cool as me. ------------------ "At one of these governors' conferences, George [W.

Jeff, What is your criteria for putting Zep in the Rock genre and Rush & Creed in the Hard Rock category? Mango ------------------ 1. Put new topics in the proper forum 2. Use clear wording for new threads 3. No duplicate threads 4. Conduct yourself as an adult The Serious Police are watching Donate Blood or be assimilated!
Good question, Mango. I guess I've always considered Zep more of a rock band and Rush has always been pushed into the hard rock category. Maybe a more appropriate hard rock grouping would be Queensryche and Rage Against the Machine. Good question, though. ------------------ Save Our Rockets and Comets SaveOurRockets.com
Jeff, Is it because they seemed "too popular" to just be a Hard Rock band? I won't name the categories, just group them the way I hear it: Humble Pie Rolling Stones Small Faces Who etc Zep Pink Floyd Deep Purple Foghat Van Halen etc Rush U2 Creed etc Black Sabbath Motley Crue Slayer Anthrax QueesnRyche etc Bowie Iggy Lou Reed etc Genesis Queen etc --------------------------------------------- TheFreak, After looking at your list, I expected Slayer to be on it.

hmmm...that's a tough one...let me think a second... lionel richie, everything but the girl, pat benatar...i really enjoy singer/songwriters ------------------
Jeff, I was wondering on your Nirvana classification. Just because they came out with something "new" doesn't make them "alternative". At least not in my book. I always considered them hard rock to rock. --- Steve_Francis_rules, 1. I hate that screen name, because it takes too long to type. 2. Any Metallica from "And Justice For All" and on, is no good. Please throw it away and only listen to: "Kill 'Em All", "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets", and "Garage Days". I'm not saying that they never put out another good song. I'm just saying they never put out another good album. --- TheFreak, I think you and I could go on a long road-trip and not kill each other fighting over the tape/CD player. But, I despise the cheesy "hair" bands like: Poison, Warrant, Nelson, White Lion, etc. --- I can't believe I forgot bands such as: Queen, AC/DC, The Cars, RATT, and Led Zepplin ------------------ I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem.

In my last post i totally forgot to mention my favorite hip hops artists: 2Pac DMX Nas NWA Naughty by Nature DREAMer: I also have ...And Justice for all, but i haven't heard anything by Metallica put out before that. I guess I should check that out. I still think the black album is better than and justice for all, i like every song on it, but they're both good so it just depends on your personal tastes. ------------------
I know its just a classification, but I thought, like Jeff, that Nirvana not only has always been called alternative, but was actually the first band to popularize the alternative movement of th early 90's (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, etc,etc). Anyway, some rap that has been left out is Southern rap. A lot of it is good, Outkast UGK (UnderGround Kings) and some of it is pretty good Juvenile and OTher Cah Money Records acts and some is just a little too main stream but still alright read: Master P Sticking with rap, Eazy-E was always funny at least and you cant forget Young M.C. (Bust-a-Move) And some of the grandfathers of rap are the best, SugarHill Gang Grandmaster Flash ------------------ Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women!
Its hard to point out genres, so I'm just going to list decades 60s Beatles The Penut butter Conspiracy Byrds Jefferson Airplane Spanky and Our Gang Doors 70s Zappa Zep Sex Pistols Lou Reed Heart Stix The Clap Grand Funk Railroad Peter Frampton Foghat KC and The Sunshine Band (come on, you know you listened to them ) Deep Purple Lynard Skynard David Bowie 80s The Police AC/DC Alice Cooper Pat Benatar B-52s Psyche Furs Devo Yello New Order Bauhaus Ultravox The Red Hot Chili Peppers Eco and the Bunnymen Jane's Addiction Talking Heads 90s Nine Inch Nails Creed RATM The Smashing Pumpkins Pearl Jam Guns and Roses Peter Gabriel Oh that's enough for now. I'm sure I've missed someone. ------------------
