It was an interesting read going through this thread - the variety and richness of tastes. Mostly modern and coming mainly from US, UK and Aussie sources. My own tastes (when I was actively collecting) was for folk music from Spain, France, Andean, Roumanian, Japanese, Russian. Special favourites were Gypsy music - Spanish and Russian. Couldn't get my hands on Hungarian & Roumanian gypsy stuff. There is also the African music which is fascinating and so different to the "developed world's" music. Must be the wild and primitive man in me to love this more basic type of music.


Bizet's Pearl Fishers seems to be a very popular choice, though I prefer his Carmen for its fire and gamut of feelings. Placido Domingo (not Paul Keating) seems to be forum's favourite, though I personally preferred the Swedish tenor Jussi Bjorling's rendition of Pearl Fisher arias.

Hixxy- heavans above
Motorcycle - as the rush comes
Dave joy- third pleasure


ahhh too many i cant think of any and those arent my favourite but yeah theyre cool
 
I have really got stuck into listening to the Scottish bag pipes.....fantastic stuff
 
if youre into the black album, then you should see how it was made... rent metallica's "some kind of monster" .

Although i do like metallica i have soured on them since lars went public against napster.
 
RE : Bagpipes ....... perhaps at tangents with this topic,I remember some army officer telling me at the local pub called Tudor Rose in Upnor , Kent UK ,that the bagpipes where listed as a psychological weapon!
I never had the balls to ask him whether it was the 'Bagpipes' or the fact that the army where attacking in 'kilts' .
What am I listening too???.....Miles Davis ....Warner Bros unreleased live tapes>CDR....magical quality!

I like Metalica, ACDC and Stryper

I moved on from Metallica some years ago after sharing an office with a DJ who presented a metal show. That was it, it got into my subconcious and wormed its way out from there.. Do any other value investors listen to metal?

Opeth
Dark Tranquility
Amorphis
Slayer
Devin Townshend
Kreator
Pantera
Ministry
 
hi Folks
Yeah PCH i'm a bit of a metaller. Got to say, I like a bit of Mudvanye and sometimes a dose of Cannibal corpse . Rammstein is always good to get the neighbours going. But I do like a good Kiwi band called 8ft sativa .
Some pretty good stuff there
All Metal is , is just rock that some of you older folk were getting grief for when you were younger .It's just rocks harder .

Cheers martin
