greenween Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's an odd mix for me. Tom Waits, Weezer, Velvet Underground, 80's new wave and the Dead Kennedys.

RickR Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 We have Weezer and VU in common. Those guys (and gal) are great. My go-to stuff: Pearl Jam, U2, Rilo Kiley, Pixies, AC/DC. Cowboy Junkies. They Might Be Giants. Feels like I'm forgetting something important.... greenween 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Adventure Square Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'll tell you, there are times when a few bands go into heavy rotation in my ears (most of the bands already mentioned in this post), then are dropped to make way for the next thing. I favor instrumental, mostly. Lotsa jazz and ambient electronic. - McCoy Tyner is a fave jazz pianist and truly a go-to source of music which will tune my soul, whenever needed. - Tangerine Dream, while not really ambient, have made tracks that not only get me going but also take me back to the 80s with those tunes with the thumping double-time bass line (and also the soundtrack to Risky Business). - And I would top it off with Jimi Hendrix, whose first three albums helped define the groove in my life, and the more recent sets (like Black Gold) which reveal his improv jams and offers lessons in letting go and cutting loose. I would like to add Production Music sounds as something that offers tremendous retro appeal. You can find some on YouTube. This background music to 60s-70s commercials and movies in complete album format from DeWolfe, Bruton, Rouge and other companies was a revelation to me. I listen to this whenever I can. greenween 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would love the EMP museum in Seattle Washington. They have a whole section devoted to Jimi Hendrix, and a rotating collection of his stuff. Wardrobe, instruments, written notes, etc. It is totally awesome. Justin and greenween 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowsdower70 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm mostly into prog rock, but I like many genres. I like bands like Haken, Yes, Dream Theater, Flying Colors, Spock's Beard to name a few. I'm also a big fan of classic jazz and swing, prog metal if the singing is clean, and Leonard Cohen (because he transcends all genres. greenween and RickR 2 Quote "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson_B24 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 funny that you mention Cohen: I just made an iHeart Radio channel based around him! Really, I DO listen to (mostly) everything. It really, REALLY depends on mood, BAC, and current activities. My son is into 80's/90's techno/hardcore/trance, so I've been getting back into that a lot again lately. I've also been listening to "K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's" lately...

StormSurge Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 - 80s hair metal. Not the term I would use to describe it, but people know what I'm talking about when I use that. And the more obscure, the better. Yeah, Motley Crue, Ratt, etc. are all good, but I'd rather listen to Living Colour, Dangerous Toys, Mr. Big & Badlands any day. - mid to late 80's hip hop/rap. Classic LL Cool J, Dana Dane, Run DMC, NWA, etc. I'm good up until the mid-90s and then I lose interest. - 90's alternative rock - 80's & 90's pop, with some 70's thrown in as well. Being born in '73 didn't give me much exposure to the 70's, but I dig it. Rowsdower70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I listen to everything except country and rap. If I turn on the radio I've been listening to a station that plays radio hits from the 70s and 80s. If I stream Accuradio I'm listening to the Flock of 80s station. I've been listening to a lot of Gary Numan lately (old stuff and new stuff).

fergojisan Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 If you couldn't tell from my avatar, I'm a big Beatles fan. R.E.M. is my probably my second favorite. It's hard to narrow down to 5 what I like, so here are a few: Monkees, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Interpol, Spoon, 60s-70s Motown, Herman's Hermits, Vampire Weekend, They Might Be Giants, Beth Orton, Inbreds (from Canada, there's another one out there), Land of Talk, the Smithereens, Pink Floyd. I have been getting into some jazz recently, and I really like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Louis Armstrong. I will stop now.

leolinden Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 My favorite bands vary depending on genre. Though my absolute favorite band is the Beatles. I have Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper, the LOVE album, and the 1 album. Jpop - Hatsune Miku (computer generated singer, pretty big in Japan) Orchestral - John Williams That's really all I listen to.

Sabertooth Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Since late last year my go to record has been "Purple" by the band Baroness. We caught them a few weeks ago in Hollywood. It was a tremendous performance. Great energy and musicianship. Rowsdower70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) The music I primarily listen to is Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Glam Rock, Progressive Rock, and Classic Rock from the mid 60's to the early 80's. I do not like Rap, R&B, and Hip Hop. My favorite bands: Metallica (Before 1990) Megadeth Anthrax Slayer Jethro Tull Napalm Death Yes Beatles (1967-1970) King Crimson Focus Emerson Lake and Palmer Genesis (Before 1979) Led Zeppelin The Who KISS Van Halen (Roth and Hagar) Black Sabbath Mmmm, lots of tasty prog in your list. I've been on a King Crimson kick lately (Lizard specifically). Yes is, of course, amazing. ELP is nice too. I'm a huge Peter Gabriel fan, so I do like early Genesis. And holy crap..Focus!
