MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

[sam76]

Hey sam i very rarely buys cd in Australia too. Most of my cd's are purchased in the seedy laneways of Patpong or Samui. 10 cd's for 1,000 baht get 1 for free. 1,000baht equates to roughly $30 dollars AUS for 11 cds. or $2.75 each.

LOL you forgot to include the $1000 for the plane ticket there!

It's either copy 'em off suckers (friends) that bought them or download them from limewire I reckon.

just hope SONY execs aren't reading this thread!

If they are - I'm obviously lying.

[It's Snake Pliskin]

I am a Kiss man! Always a good time to listen to Kiss.
Jimmi Hendrix the legend of rock is a big influence on my guitar playing. Led Zepellin, the Stones, ACDC are not bad either. Midnight oil must not forget them.

Other times I like Ibrahim Ferrer of Cuba, Brazillian Bossa Nova and Spanish flamenco music.

For mine, it varies. A lot.

Just some samples off the top of my head (well CDs that are within reach):

Muse, Thirsty Merc, New Order, Cure, Jimmy Eat World, Sisters of Mercy, Stone Temple Pilots, Taxiride, Powderfinger/Bernard Fanning, Dream Theater, Dissociatives, Regurgitator, Weezer, The Who, Faith No More, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins, Pink, John Butler Trio, Nine Inch Nails, Screaming Jets, Tea Party, Jewel, Silverchair, Matchbox 20, Missy Higgins, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Depeche Mode, Metallica, Enya, David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Crowded House, Tori Amos, Joe Satriani

But of course the ol' school rock has a place in my life - Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Kiss, Chisel, Choirboys, et al. It's just less prominent these days :

I like the Stones and AC/DC, but I also like country. It's great beer drinking music.

There's nothing like a little David Allen Coe or Hank Williams Jr. Hank Sr. is even better at times. My favorite country band of all time is Alabama.

Hey, and thanks for sending us Keith Urban. The dude can really play a guitar!

I don't think you'll find too many Aussies (other than the odd FNQ'er) asking for him back!

As for beer drinking music - that could be a whole new thread! Accadacca, Cold Chisel, Crowded House...

What? Y'all don't like country music?

 

[Jesse Livermore]

Thought it would be interesting to hear what people are listening to.

My favourite song at the moment is hung up, by madonna. I also recently came across a song by Sarah Brightman called Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye)...Absolutely Beautiful.

My musical interest are varied, ranging from deep funky house to Enya.

I must say, it really does suck - running around with banjo`s and accoustic guitars singing about cows, and women that never came back....

But, I like Vulcan music.

Dude, if you ever come over here, I could teach you to like country music. Sure, it's simple, but it really gets to your heart.

Besides we don't sing about cows. It's all about crying, loving, cheating, trains, pickup trucks, drinking, and getting out of prison...

Yep, Keith Urban has definitely hit the big time.

Never heard of Tommy Emmanuel, but i just found his website. It looks like he is the man on Guitar! I'll have to read a little more about him.

Websman, there is a live DVD that Tommy Emmanuel released in 2002. It's a Mel Bay Publication, titled Tommy Emmanuel Live @ The Sheldon Concert Hall. I managed to get a copy here in OZ, so if you want to be totally blown away by 1man with 1Maton Acoustic Guitar, watch this DVD!!!!! There is nobody like him in the world on an acoustic!!!!!
Have a great day
Cheers
Johnno
