MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

Jump to new
The older I get (almost at the second half of the 30's) the more hardcore my tastes get and the more risk averse my investing gets :)

My 18 month old loves Slayer and my 7 year old loves Opeth :)
 
Old favourites recently downloaded are Nik Kershaw, Chicago, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Led Zep, Kenny Loggins, Grace Jones, Barry White & Foreigner

New dunno so much, I just put the radio on.


Best DVD I got recently was Elton John "One night only"

Had Mary J Blige, Billy Joel, Bryan Adams, Kiki Dee and Ronan Keating on it singing with Elton.

Excellent concert indeed!
 
I'm still listening to all my Cd's i brought over from Australia. If i had time i would download more new music, and listen to JJJ more. Were close to processing season here so i'll be lucky to even open up ASF at night soon.

I checked out youtube the other night for the first time and have been trapping virus's ever since...whats up with that?

I've got allot of Australian music with me, Eskimo Joe, Epicure, Nick Cave, etc. and it reminds me of my adopted home and the good times with friends....a must have in a place like this. My Chinese GF loves my music so thats a bonus too!
 
Hilltop hoods, Crossbred Mongrels and some Ministry of Sound compilations (Hardcore classics + trance)

Couldn't agree more - I find the music my 21yr old son listens to (he thinks he's exceptionally cool of course) decidedly middle of the road.

Conversley, my 11 year old is seriously into stuff my Dad got me into; Led Zep, Elvis Costello, Stones etc
 
The Jayhawks-Rainy Day Music, even though its a beautiful day over here in Perth.
:)
They're expecting a very warm spring. Can't wait.
 
Just got some new CDs in the mail from Amazon. Whoopee!

  • Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Rodrigo y Gabriela (guitar duo, Mexico/Ireland, website)
  • Elysium For The Brave - Azam Ali (world music vocal, Iran/India/U.S, website)
  • Over The Years - Abbey Lincoln (jazz vocal, U.S.)
  • Viaticum - Esbjorn Svensson Trio (jazz piano trio, Sweden, website)
  • Trio - Wasilewski/Kurkiewicz/Miskiewicz (jazz piano trio, Poland)
Rodrigo y Gabriela are simply amazing to listen to and to watch - the album comes with a DVD as well as the CD. Check out their website for a sample.

Cheers, Staybaker. :)
 
Here's a couple of interesting "YouTubes";

Natalie Cole was the first to use digital technology to perform a duet with with her deceased father, Nat King Cole. Aled Jones was the first to use the same technology to perform a duet with himself :eek:

This song is a duet with Aled as a boy treble in duet with himself as an adult tenor... pretty cool and nice song

O' Holy Night:

Nunc Dimittus - Aled with another treble - Ben Crawley;

And from a completely different area of the music spectrum

Gordon Lightfoot doing Early Morning Rain - Live!: (one of my favourite sad hobo songs)

Enjoy
 
Hi there I'm new to the forum. I've put a couple of posts in so I thought I may as well add one here. I actually am a muso myself (even make part of my living from it) Firstly it is interesting to see their are other crazies who stay up this late. Anyway, I appreciate just about any style of music from "Deep Purple" to Beethoven, so long as it creates some kind of emotion, but my favorite style would be jazz-fusion by guitar virtuosos like Al-Dimeola etc. If you like super fast and super tasteful guitar playing you should check him out.

PS I hear Big Dog calling............bedtime............
 
Just found and downloaded something from the net from my youth - Dropout Bogie by Captain Beefheart - what memories it brings back.
 
used to DJ professionally so am biased towards electronic music - although somewhat varied (ie-trance, drum n bass, breaks etc)

recently bought a Gibson Les Paul so have changed my tune to more guitar driven stuff

some of my favourite tracks:

Lamb - Gorecki
Bjork - Hyperballad
Atlantis - Fiji
Tiesto - Adagio
Joe Satriani - Always with u, always with me
The Smiths - How soon is now
Silverchair - Shade
Plump Dhs - Electric Disco
Delerium - Silence
Nu NRG - Dreamland

Cheers :)

The video kept sticking for me!!

I bought the latest release Johny Cash a couple of weeks ago and it is very,very good. I believe they have material for one more album of "new releases". His interpretation of songs is fantastic. I loved his version of U2's One.

Has anyone heard Bruce Cockburns latest or the lastest CD from The Concretes? Worth buying?
