musical tastes (off topic)

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

The Dickies were great. “Stukas Over Disneyland” and “We Aren’t The World” are faves.

My tastes are fairly broad and not too conventional.

Sixties: The Mothers, Velvet Underground, Stooges, Black Sabbath.

Seventies: Hawkwind, Dead Boys, Sex Pistols, Carpenters.

Eighties: Iron Maiden, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Bauhaus, NWA, Death in June.

Nineties: Ministry, Babyland, Coil, Skinny Puppy, Chemlab, Public Enemy.

Oughts: Stromkern, Metallux, Combichrist, Turbonegro, Funker Vogt, Project Pitchfork

I am also heavily involved in the noise/experimental music community: a few months ago I did a live performance based on modifying and oscillating the sounds from a record of steam locomotives and thunderstorms–using a subwoofer, I was able to simulate, to some extent, the kind of guttural thrumming sound you get from standing near the tracks. Any railfan who likes to stand close enough to feel the train going past (but far enough away to not be in danger) knows that feeling…tough to simulate!

42

Ughh. I HATE country music, and pop for that matter.

43

If I am doing modelling, I like to listen to some jazz, funk, or swing, such as )in no particular order)…Average White Band, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Afro Cuban All Stars and sometimes a bit of Barry Manilow…[:I]…oh dear…

I like almost every genre of music, except for emo, most 70’s music, pop, and every America idol (but they count as pop, right?)

My favorites are
Hip hop- NWA, Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., 2pac, DMX, Puff Daddy/P Diddy/ Diddy, The Game, The Beastie boys, Chamillionare.
Rock/alternative rock- The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Pearl jam, Rammstein(a German metal/techno band).
Other- Depeche Mode, Weird Al, Bob Marley, Johnny Cash.

i think the question was what kind of music do you like or listen to.i believe rap comes under the catagory of odious urban decay.my ears are ringing already.

46

i listen to hip hop… actually im a producer as well

released 7 indy albums of my production and have been featured on about 40 cd’s … did a track with Pitbull and 6’6 240 (signed to New South/Purple Ribbon) last year…

47

I’m another classical aficionado.

I also enjoy certain “golden oldies” — anything from about 1958 to 1964

48

I listen to pretty much anything and everything. I try not to discriminate when it comes to musical tastes.

However, I listen to very little rap, hip-hop, punk, and very heavy hardcore metal.

My main music of choice is Country, followed by Classic Rock and Oldies. However, I do listen to classical quite a bit…It’s great to work to.

And since we use Easy Listening pieces, like Michael Bublè and Frank Sinatra, at Bose…I’ve been kind of hooked on Bublè recently. Great older music. [tup][tup]

I have one album by Triumvirat…“Illusions on a Double Dimple”. The one with the mouse on the cover. Cool stuff.

54

Aye, me too, and as a matter of fact, the only reason I have it is GN-Rick there! Our musical tastes run quite close together. Akin to him, I like classical, prog rock, classic rock, and the Buena Vista Social Club. Dunno what genre they’d be…

55

I listen to everything except new dance music, I don’t mind ABBA or the Bee Gees but the new dance stuff drives me crazy. I mostly listen to 80’s hair bands like Def Leppard, Guns N Roses, Ratt etc. If you pulled up beside me at a stop light I might have anything from Eminem to The Road Hammers cranked up on the stereo, my taste in music is that broad, lol.

56

Wait…I forgot to add that I LOVE Public enemy’s duo with anthrax! That CD was awesome!

57

For me, it’s Johann Sebastian Bach.
I listen to and play lots of other music but Bach is the best.
It’s full of joy and constant energy.

Rock, country & western, blues, just about everything except top 40 pop junk. I especially like Celtic music. I’m a big fan of Afro-Celt Sound System, blending Celtic, real African, electronica, and whatever else strikes their fancy.

59

My musical taste is VERY broad. I grew up in the 60’s 70’s. The first music I remember listening to was the Beatles, to this day they are still a fave of mine. In my teens I was turned on to Led Zeppelin ( without a doubt, hands down my Favorite) Pink Floyd is also a fave. That being said I like rock from Aerosmith to ZZ top.
However, I also grew up Italian so if it’s Frank’s Thanks ( a Philly thing) I can listen to any Frank Sinatra my wife loves to hear me sing Frank tunes.
There are a few country artists I like. I can also get lost in a good Beethoven or Tchaikovsky symphony. Bagpipes and drums have a unique sound that get the juices flowing also.
To sum up this response anything but RAP !! BLECH!

60

Any type of rock (and a little country)

The Classic and/or metal:
Metallica, Pantera, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Guns n’ Roses, Kiss, Skid Row, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Megadeath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Rob Zombie, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, CCR, Led Zeppelin, and Slayer to name a few.

The newer stuff:
System of a Down, Disturbed, Godsmack, Green Day, Korn, Papa Roach, Mudvayne, Static-X, Staind, Linkin Park, Shinedown, Nine Inch Nails, Chevelle, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, and Saliva.

Country (just a few):
Waylon Jennings (Dukes of Hazzard Theme), Montgomery Gentry, Kenny Chesney, Willy Nelson, and Johnny Cash.

Rap:
JUST KIDDING!!!

In my opinion, there’s no feeling like crusing down the interstate at a leisurly 120 mph in a modded '02 Chevy Camaro Z28 listening to “I Stand Alone” by Godsmack!
