KT Tunstall
The Long Blondes
Razorlight
The Fratellis
The Pipettes

Anyone else thing we should get a music board in Everything Else?

I like all kinds of music. My tastes involve a wide range of styles and sounds. I don't limit myself to just one or two genres. There is soo much great music out there. People just need to open up their ears and minds and listen.

But some of my favorites...

No.1 band> Widespread Panic. I have been a fan since 1992. I haven't been counting but i would guess i have seen them about 50 times.

Others i love> Rush, Jurassic 5, Steely Dan, Sublime, The Ocean Blue, and the list goes on and on but i will stop there.;)

[diehardnorthsider]

I like all types, metal, classic rock, rap, country, I have an ear for many styles I guess.

[ChiCubs1984]

Well I have a different musical taste. I listen to this.
ABBA
Elvis Presley
Dixie Chicks
Metallica
Paula Abdul
Phil Collins
Black Sabbath
Danzig
Mamma's and the Papa's
anything from the 60's
Big Band era

I actually grew up outside of Augusta and used to see the Panic play in bars in the early 90's. I guess I've seen them somewhere aroound 50 times as well. However, I was way more into Phish and saw them over 100 times throughout the 90's.

I like quality jam bands. Phish was/is cool. I have many Phish cd's. The Hampton Coliseum is a 35-40 minute ride from my house. Phish released a show from there. Pretty cool.
Panic just strikes some heavy cords deep in my soul somewhere.

[ChinMusic22]

My tastes are all over the map, but some are:

Ryan Adams
Interpol
The Draft
Wilco
Razorlight
The Clash
Richard Hell & The Voidoids
Butch Walker
Dead To Me
Strike Anywhere
Tom Waits
AC/DC

I own around 1,900 CD's... It's a mild addiction...

I was at every show Phish ever played at the "Spaceship" including the ones they released. My favorite was the first one there in '95 when they first did the rotation jam. Nothing will ever top my favorite show of all time... New Year's 95 at MSG. EPIC!!!

[Brutus T Manstrength]

kind of a neat song: taxi driver by gym class heroes. I've listened to it a rediculous amount of times.. they probably say 20 different band names in the lyrics.. I like trying to catch them all.. every time I listen to it, I catch a different one.

[Ivy Killa]

i also have a vast range of music preferences. but if i can sum up my musical evolution over the years it would go like this


Tiffany
Poison
Guns N' Roses
The Doors
Nirvana
Slayer
Sublime
2Pac
Bloodhound Gang
Insane Clown Posse
Twiztid
Blaze Ya Dead Homie
Anybody Killa
Dark Lotus
Tech N9ne
Big Krizz Kaliko
Kutt Calhoun
King Gordy

[jmorrison1]

My musical tastes will differ greatly from all of yours. I mainly listen to Rich Mullins, the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, and bluegrass.

[ryno4ever]

I love any kind of music... my friends used to laugh because I had The Best of Beethoven, Metallica, Garth Brooks, and New Kids on the Block cds all on one page in my cd binder! I will listen to just about anything except the really, really hard metal rock and obscene rap. I really enjoy country and eighties rock/pop. I guess what I listen to all depends on my mood of the moment! I had to buy a back up hard drive to put my music on because it was taking up so much room on my pc!

[bczar]

Too many to name, but here's a few:
Grateful Dead
Phish
JGB
Doors
Beatles
Cat Stevens
Bob Marley
Mr Blotto (good local Chicago jam band)
and, did I mention Grateful Dead?

[Hot Strawberry]

I will listen to anything but Techno. I hate Techno. My main favorites are:

Norah Jones
Jonny Lang
Neal Schon
Velvet Revolver
STP
Goo Goo Dolls
Jack Johnson
Seether
Staind

and a lot more that I can't think of right now.

[Al Spanglers ghost]

Led Zepplin
Black Sabbath
Cream
Traffic

[Ivy Killa]

Haha when i was in high school i saw the pumpkins in concert 3 times.

[HOLYCOW!25]

My brother loved them. He was pissed when we went to Hawaii cause he missed their last concert. He was even more pissed when I met Billy Corgan.

I saw Billy Corigan at a Cubs game. I am not attracted to him

[CUBScrazy22]

[QUOTE=ryno4ever;7161] I really enjoy country and eighties rock/pop. QUOTE]

I love country too. :D I don't think it's as hillbilly-ish as everyone thinks nowadays.

[bczar]

I can't wait for the new album to come out. I've been listening to Gish all week and could use some new material from them :D

[Bockstock]

Mostly prog stuff... Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, dredg, Genesis, King Crimson, Floyd, Rush..

Also alot of stuff like J.J. Cale, Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits

[Bockstock]

Dream Theater
Rush



haha yes dude

I love Dream Theater, I've probably seen them live around 15 times

[Ivy Killa]

The only Dream Theater song i ever knew was "pull me under"........tight song though

Dream Theater's sound guy is actually a huge Cubs fan. I've chatted with him a couple of times on the cubs.com board. Didn't get a chance to meet him last time they were in town (March 06 I think), but he sent me an autographed press photo.

He also does sound for bands like Queens of the Stone Age and some other acts.

[HOLYCOW!25]

I love Dream Theater. One of the most underrated bands IMO. My friends got to go see them with Megadeth at Gigantour a few years ago. And a few months later, Megadeth released a DVD with a buncha stuff, and it had some recordings from the same one my friends were at, and you can actually see one of my friends. I would of gone, but it was already sold out, and I didn't have enough money to get a ticket on Ebay.

[Bockstock]

Yea I too missed Gigantour because I was out of town.

I just found out that the G3 tour this year includes Petrucci and is opening in Pheonix ,March 14, when I will be down there for Cubs ST. I'm definitely going to try and catch the show.

[HOLYCOW!25]

Sounds pretty sweet.

[ChinMusic22]

Dredg is MINT...

I highly recommend the new Alkaline Trio, Strike Anywhere, and Rise Against. If you like that sort of music...

[Bockstock]

Dredg is MINT...



"El Cielo" is such a mind-blowing album, probably in my top 5 all-time, I think it could stand right up there with the early Genesis (w/Gabriel) and King Crimson records.

I actually only have one album by them. I have "Catch Without Arms". I actually recently heard about them. Over the summer I got a sampler CD ata show, and "Bug Eyes" was on there. I really dug that song, so I went out and got the CD. I do need to get "El Cielo" as well as their live album...

Early Genesis... Good stuff...

Yea, "El Cielo" is that good, alot less poppy than "Catch Without Arms" (not that poppy is bad), alot of little instrumental interludes. A wide variety of sounds, pretty cool stuff. Alot of it actually translated really well on the live album.

I'm definitely going to catch them live next time I get a chance.

[elven_scout]

*grins at some of the previous comments and posts* Wow...

I like...

Tchaikovsky,
Mozart,
some Stravinsky,
Holst,
Howard Shore,
Faure (which is what is playing now...),
Hans Zimmer,
James Newton Howard,
Harry Gregson-Williams,
Michael W. Smith,
David Phelps,
and a few others...
Soundtracks are good.
