...what do you guys listen to?

Personally I also listen to death/gore/black/whatever metal, but I also listen to jazz and classical (strange combo)... Only stuff I really can't stand is rap and mainstream stuff, although sum41/blink186/trash23 like bands make me want to beat my self to death with my own feet.

Cheers.

Interesting question. Other than prog, I listen to a lot of older pop artists(James Taylor, Carole King, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, The Who, The Beatles, later Crack The Sky, John Palumbo, etc) and newer pop artists(Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Darren Hayes, Savage Garden, Blessid Union Of Souls.) I also enjoy some heavy metal(Sabbath, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, etc), Alternative bands(REM, U2, Matchbox Twenty, Depeche Mode, etc) and some older grunge(The Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair, etc.) I pretty much like everything that's musical(this excludes rap, of course, because we all know that rap isn't musical.  )

ACTUALLY DANBO I KEEP ASKING MYSELF THE SAME QUESTION....... WHO DOES PETER THINK HE IS?(I MEAN DOES HE THINK HE WEARS A CAPE AND HIS UNDERWEAR ON THE OUTSIDE AND GOES BY SOME REALLY LAME NAME LIKE ENGLISH LIT MAN,OR SHAKESPEARE DUDE????...WHATS HIS SECRET POWER...IS IT BORING PEOPLE TO DEATH WITH DICKINS??

I MEAN THE NERVE OF THAT MAN!!!!

What you must understand, Mr. dude, is any child given a name, such as Peter, which has serious phallic implications, causes the child to grow up being beaten, abused, debased and ridiculed. As they mature, er, actually, age would me more appropo, they develop the need to PRETEND they are superior to their peers.

Anyway, Mr. Rideout obviously struggles with a major lack of self-esteem. It is our duty, nah, our mission, to help Peter with this issue. Make him feel as though we respect him and that he has superior conversational skills and allow him to win an argument once in a while.

Above all, Mr. dude, we must not let him know what we are doing. Let the poor man's ego heal, even at our own expense. Jeez, could you image the hell he went through growing up with a name like PETER. Crikey, his parents must be brutal.

Remember, mums the word.       

This week I am mostly listening to:

Gary Moore,Santana,Prokofiev, and Rainbow (Not Bungle&Zippy,Mr Geoffrey!)

Mostly...

other times:

Miles Davis and John Coltrane

Beethoven and Mozart

Julien Bream and John Williams (not the one who did Star Wars, Peter!)

Zep and Purple

Max Webster and James Marshall Hendrix.

Everything that is good,but almost all the bands that I like are from the 60's and 70's.So here are my favorite bands and singers:

• really old stuff like Buddy Holly,Skeeter Davis,the youngbloods,Tommy James and the shondells and a lot of others that kind
• 67 era (iron butterfly,jefferson airplane,The byrds,mamas&papas.....
• THE BEATLES
• Grand funk,the who,cream,hendrix,led zeppelin,Robin trower,free,santana,wishbone ash,neil young......
• american southern sound --allman brothers band,grateful dead,lynyrd skynyrd,electric flag,manassas...
• in bed with my girl Otis Redding,Simon&Garfunkel,Percy Sledge
• hard rockers Black Sabbath,Deep purple,Mountain,Blue Cheer...
• my generation is heavy metal generation so I listened a lot of heavy metal--I still like very much Iron Maiden,Metallica(first four albums),Celtic frost,bathory,coroner,slayer,sepultura,death,anthrax,overkil l,nuclear assault,megadeth---oh man,it was a thousand of bands this kind
• GANG GREEN--I still love them very much

Well since I discovered this website (I'm just resently plugged in) I'm listening solely to prog music, It's 2,5 gb download, so aproxx 40 hours of music, so it'll take some time to listen to it all, I discovered some new bands this way, so my guess is I will not have the time this year to listen to anything else.

Otherwise I would listen to about everything (except for R&B which makes my nostrills curl, and provokes agressive behaviour from my cat)

My favourites besides prog are, Led Zepp; all of their albums are masterpieces, Deep Purple (lazy from In Rock), Cream, Queen (early works up ontill News of the world and The miracle and Innuendo), 10cc, the early works of Elton John (madman across the water is a true classic    ), Beatles, The who, gothic, classical  music, Beethoven's 5th, and 9th, some Rossinni and Tsjaikovski (firebird suite, rite of spring), Carl Orff etc.

I somethimes enjoy Eminem, great lyrics, Jazz (only when I'm in the mood), and a lot of alternative rock music.

Very nearly everything, apart from blues, modern pop music, reggae, ska, punk (although I do listen to some avant-garde punkers), and most things written before 1780 with the exception of Bach, Beethoven and Haydn.

Yes, even hip-hop now (not "bling-bling" rubbish, you understand).

However, mainly what I'd say I was into apart from prog is at the minute jazz and chilled out electronica, but usually (melodic) doom metal and neo folk.

Still, there's probably a prog band influenced by every style mentioned on here and far, far more so who needs to look outside the world of prog?

everything, just everything - from the black sabbath to beyonce, radiohead to lou reed, stevie wonder to paul weller, allman brothers to sister sledge, unkle to mum, beatles to zeppelin, emmylous harris to richard harris, doors to elo, nick drake to sandy denny, air to arvo part, supertramp to supergrass, tom waits to rickie lee jones, traffic, sinatra, mahler, underworld, tavener, sheryl crow, elvic costello, kansas, metallica, journey, neil young, joni mitchell, gary numan, michael jackson, joe jackson, robert johnson, jellyfish, police, prince, pretenders, primal scream, weather report, debussy, triumph, queen, zz top, cocteau twins, future sound of london, steve howe, xtc, talk talk, david sylvian, brian eno, def leppard, deep purple, bonnie raitt, bjork, santana, fleetwood mac, wilco, ryan adams, jon martyn, peter gabriel,

listen to it all, you might find something good

I find Dave Matthews Band on my CD a lot - good musicians.

Growing up it was Blue Oyster Cult all the way.

I still listen to a lot of older metal: Scorpions, UFO, Accept, Judas Priest, Van Halen, Y&T. I can't listen to new ("nu") metal.

Growing up in Buffalo, I still listen to a lot of Billy Sheehan's old band, Talas.  I must also admit I listen to another band from Buffalo, the Goo Goo Dolls. Not many bands come from Buffalo, so I try to support them.

BTW: if you ever see an old Talas CD, pick it up! Billy Sheehan is (and was) God.

Classical, metal, jazz, new age, hard rock.

I never listen to rap and alternative rock!

I hate fake-alternative college rock (Nickelback and that sort of crap), and hip-hop and R 'n B. (YO!)

I like METAL (doom/black/death/thrash/plain ole HEAVY metal).

I also listen to gothic, industrial, some punk, weird/exxxperimental sh*t, jazz and just old-fashioned, simple ROCK.

Deep Purple,Led Zep,The Who,The Darkness,Queen,Kate Bush,Alanis Morissette,Tomita,Vangelis,Placebo,Muse,Radiohead,Mountain,S tephen Caudel,Love,Be Bop Deluxe,Lone Star,Simple Minds,Propaganda,Public Image Ltd,The Stranglers,Iron Maiden,Jean Michel Jarre,Franz Ferdinand,Tubeway Army,Mansun,Rainbow,Paul McCartney and Wings,The Tubes,Enya,Al Stewart.

When was that? I thought he had a 'rediscovery of himself' time when he did the (overlong) Incantations.

Anyway, I have remained an Oldfield fan even when he has turned to a 'Let's make some few bucks more of Tubular Bells' period. That is, I'm lost forever in my Oldfield fandom.

As for what else I listen: I still listen to many rock/pop groups I was a fan before I discovered prog: Dire Straits/Knopfler, The Waterboys (DREADFUL last record, BTW), Battiato... I also usually listen to celtic music, but I'd rather have some celtic prog, as I easylly get tired of the most traditional groups. English folk is also usually in my menu. And even some metal, in the form of the group Rhapsody (but, on second thought, these guys are really prog, so....)

Peter Rideout wrote: ^ Nice avatar, eh wot?

LOL   

Anyway, I decided to give in and change my aviator to an old picture of myself(taken in mid 2001) with my pride and joy, my Fender Strat. Better to avoid any confusion, because I was even having trouble discerning between the two alike aviators!

I'll list the non-prog on my current computer playlist.. which is running now.

Cert

You have to agree that one person's cup of tea/favourite listening isn't going to be another's. So it is inevitable that what one find intellectually stimulating, is boring to another person (remember there is a whole raft of folk out there who would dump the whole of prog into a bin labelled "Boring" - or under some other derrogatory label). I think it is reasonable here for me to say I've found some Radiohead boring - but it was throw away line, in context with what I thought were abbrieviated statements. With time and fuller consideration I wouldn't have used a sloppy term like 'boring' - instead "musically dry and something I can't always get my head around", would be better from my viewpoint.

Now I read what you thought of my "opinion" three times, before I realised you were taking the Michael, and my reply was duly lighthearted (as well as being probably lightheaded). But I was sorely tempted to write that the best info provided here is in the form of opinions - people regularly ask for opinions, e.g. about the best albums of the 90's, psychedelic albums, and get responses in the form of opinions.

As Peter Rideout will now tell you, I'm ancient, so I've heard and read many negative comments about the music I really like - for instance, to those who say "I don't like jazz", I have had three responses;

a) "you'll grew up one day" - which I long dropped

b) "what particular form jazz don't you like then" - which I still use occasionally, to remind those people that they only probably heard trad jazz played badly in a pub

c) "Oh never mind" - life is too short to argue and to explain.  Who knows if they might later discover for themselves the errors of their ways. With Radiohead I will persist, because I find their work interesting and innovative. Besides if we all liked the same things and didn't "debate" on occasion, wouldn't life be limited and boring?

Jazz is boring...

Ha! Now you are talking! We all know now Certif1ed hates jazz!

Certif1ed is now better characterized!

HEY! Don't get me wrong: I like jazz!

greenback wrote: Ha! Now you are talking! We all know now Certif1ed hates jazz! Certif1ed is now better characterized! HEY! Don't get me wrong: I like jazz!

I believe that statement was a joke.

Certif1ed wrote: Jazz is boring...

Take your choice of my  3 likely responses

In that case, I choose #3 - I agree absolutely and entirely with your response, which I feel is totally valid and a very lucid explanation of the intricacies of the style in question - why anyone should think otherwise is quite beyond me, holding, as I do, a Brownie badge in Jaw-Harp playing.

I hereby fully reject any suggestions which have anything to do with bodily functions and transport.

Certif1ed wrote:  a Brownie badge in Jaw-Harp playing.

is that the one that includes rudimentary kazoo-playing and 4 string ukelele tuning?

No - at least I wasn't taught anything as advanced as 4-string ukelele tuning when I was in the Brownies...

Beware the one with the crimson flame, he likes to be the only of his kind!

Thanks penguindf12,

I just made a little diddy on "Photoshop", don't want to be confused with anyone else. I'm 45 and teach Graphic Arts. Been listening to music for a long long time. Hope to have fun here and not freak anyone out! Music is a way of life for me. I collect vintage synths also. Play drums etc!!

Hey Reed Lover...is bent an english term for gay?

Hey Threefates....I don't own any broadways...can I borrow some from Ian?

Hey Swalter...that's just some of my Third World Humor(eh Reed Lover) above. Aside from being gay(which I am-since your new and all) I am into the same kind of music as you...prog,prog and more prog....so keep on progging Mr Swalter

SOLID!! gdub411

I enjoy a good banter! Glad to hear it!

Hope to hear from the forum again.................been awhile. When forums and chat was new it was fun, but "people are strange" so I gave it up. This is my first foray into a new forum in about 3 or 4 years, and I'd much rather just talk about music.

To be honest "bent" isnt a particularly friendly euphemism for homosexual, as no doubt someone will inform you. However I use it good naturedly and dont intend any REAL offence.Now if I'd said "donut-puncher or "rump ranger" that would be a different matter!

Open minded is one thing....but disco?!?

There's good music in any genre - trouble is, if you listen to the radio, you only get to hear the bad bits.
