MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

[Judd]

Snip. Pipe bands and in particular when they are playing Amazing Grace (I have promised to rise up if that gets played at my funeral: I'm even thinking of putting in my will that it is not to be played).

Then you'll love this, bellenuit. Hehe. Sorry but I just had to do it.

I don't care for thrash metal, some of the heavier heavy metal, and most opera leaves me cold - with a few exceptions. Memories of watching the Edinburgh Tattoo with Mum still bring me out in a rash, and I'm not a jazz fan - although I love The Cat Empire, so maybe I like modern jazz? I don't like what I call "sexist hip=hop", but I do like quite a lot of rap and hip hop that doesn't disparage women. I find most traditional country music a bit boring, but I do like the more modern urban/pop/folk country music. I seem to have a fair bit of music in iTunes labelled "alternative", but most of it would be alt/rock I'd guess. I love rock music to cook to, classical to drive to and a mix of pop and rock to exercise to. The joy of loving a wide range of styles is that there's always something to suit your mood, whether I want to pretend I can sing like Adele while cooking (by myself) or get moving to Foo Fighters and Linkin Park when out for a walk. I don't want to imagine a world without music

Rap and pretty much all kinds of modern ghetto music. Pipe bands and in particular when they are playing Amazing Grace (I have promised to rise up if that gets played at my funeral:

With you completely on this. It might have been OK the first time anyone played it, but it has been so over used and become so banal it's awful.

Modern style jazz, for instance as played by James Morrisson, I much prefer traditional or Dixieland.

The James Morrison stuff washes over me unnoticed mostly, like pop stuff. There's some great jazz on RN's Jazztrack on a Saturday early evening. I love the Mississippi style blues.

Never heard of Klezma until you mentioned it. I did a Goole search and it offered this piece. If this is representative, I am with you in hating it.

Yep, that's a perfect example. Right up there with something I omitted to mention and which I don't believe should ever be even classified as music - the Tibetan Throat Singers. Truly ghastly.

I don't like "music" played by fakes who don't even understand what taste is.

This is what it's all about - 2 examples-

Hey MrBurns, what about when you and the girlfriend, were in the car at the lookout carpark over town.



Just joking I think Gladys is brilliant, shame she cancelled her trip to Auss this year, I heard it was from lack of bookings.



How couldn't you want t see a legend.

 

[sptrawler]

Or just a one of moment in musical history, that will never be repeated. RIP Pavorotti.



Not a huge fan of opera, but Pavorotti is the showman, Rudd wishes he could be.lol

Now that is presence, not the 'milky bar kid'

Seatbelts - Japanese blues/jazz band. Lyrics often in english. Their style is very diverse and ranges from straightforward big band jazz, blues, acoustic ballads, hard rock, country, funk to electronic, hip-hop and experimental compositions/elements.
