Favorite Music

[rantnraven]

Anybody listen to music>

I do. Great stuff and very soothing.

I'm just as eclectic in my musik as I am in practice. but I thought to share with you all some of my fav's.

Love Loreena McKennitt (anything)
Any Bagpipe music
David and Steve Gordon (drummers)

The Gordons tend to suit my Shaman side. If you like Drums and Flute, check out "Drum Medicine" by these guys. It's great.

So who are your favorites?

RnR

[cydira]

I'm not the only one that listens to Loreena McKennitt's work! :D

I'm also a huge fan of the Chieftians, anything celtic, and classical. If I'm in the right moods, I'll listen to techno, classic rock and roll, and occasionally I'll even listen to country.

Just don't tell my mother that I do that, or she'll start insisting that I'm trying to become her or something. The only thing on that list that she doesn't listen to is the Loreena McKennitt. <lol>

[bluecat]

I also listen to Loreena :)

But I like a lot of stuff. I am a big ZZ Top and Doors fan, I just don't handle C/W very well.

Blue :cool:

[crystal_night]

My tastes depends on my mood.....when I want to relax I need classical, when I want to feel carefree and reckless I'll listen to pop, when I'm moody and really want a depressing time, I'll listen to country lol, then there's the 'bad-girl' syndrome that I get sometimes when I want something like Candlebox, or NIN.

My fav of hers is off of the "The Book of Serets" CD called Marco Polo. I play that over and over when the mood strikes. Drove to Nevada a few weeks ago - Nevada is about 50 rewinds away from me. LOL

Another group that I really like is Rush. Being a drummer, Niel Pert is my hero.

Somehow, Blue, you struck me as a ZZ Top person. Do you like the CDB as well?

CDB, (Charlie Daniels Band) that's C/W ... nope, don't, like I said, I don't handle C/W very well, I should have said not at all. ZZ Top is the closest I can possibly get to it.

Blue :cool:

[reanna]

I love her too.

Stevie Nicks has also been one of my long time faves since childhood. My sister introduced me to Fleetwood Mac and I have been hooked ever since.
I listen to just about everything.(don't care for the really "rap" stuff) Other than that, I like it all.

Thought CDB and ZZ were classified Southern Rock. Used to love CDB myself but a couple of year ago he turn "Super Christian" which isn't a big deal but his music suffered. Now he only does county fairs. Sad really. :(

Then again, I like Brian Setzer and his orchestra. I have actually jammed with him. Real nice guy. Remember him?

OH YES! Stevie, will you marry me??? :D

[Neek]

I have a CD called 'Celtic Woman' which is a compilation CD. It has a couple of Loreena McKennitt tracks on it and I love it!!

Another CD I play quite a bit is Robbie Robertson and the Red Road Ensemble. Its quite an amazing collection of music.

My all time favourite artist though is Van Morrison. Very sexy voice ;)

Neek
:sunny:

[Ozymandias]

Try Inkubus Sukkubus, song called Pagan Born, you'll be suprised.

[Mariposa De La Luna]

Lately I've really gotten into Emerald Rose. They have a bit of diverse range, celtic, pop, chants, ballads, very pagan. Their songs get stuck in my head. They have this one pop song, which is the only pop song I like, called Pagan Girl. It always makes me happy! Check them out at www.emeraldrose.com they have a link to their mp3 site where you can hear/download their music (I love DSL :) ) and have the lyrics to all their songs on their site.

I can't stand C/W it drives me nuts!!!

I see I've got to listen to L. McKennit, does she have a web site?

besides that I like alternative, classical, and 80's new wave/alt. I was one of those heavy into The Cure.

Hey you Aussies! Who is Wendy Rule? I hear she's coming to the states and we might get her here in Dallas.

[Earth Walker]

I like a wide range of music, Kate Bush, Janis Ian,
Phoebe Snow, and other women artists, but my
favorite music is from the 50's....Buddy Holly,
Ritchie Valens, Shelley Fabares, Leslie Gore.........

You like Phoebe Snow too?? That's too cool. Has she done anything lately. Last I heard her do was a coffee commercial but she has a great voice. Had one of her tapes but don't know what happened to it.

Also liked Tim Curry in the early 80's. Aside from Rocky Horror, he had a couple of tapes out.

RnR

[Earth Walker]

I believe she recently released a new CD, but I don't
know what the title is.

[Mariposa De La Luna]

Thanks for the address RnR. :)

[Wynter]

Where to start?! I love Enya, Deep Forest, Enigma, Moby, any Celtic Music, Dido, Pink, Three Doors down, Vertical Horizen, Emerald Rose, Five Iron Frenzy, VAMPIRE NATION!!!! *ahem* Any of the Pure Moods Cds, and much, much more...

[Summer Solstice]

LOVE ZZ TOP , The Doors, also the Allman Brothers Band,but I also have the Robbie Robertson & the Red Road Ensemble cd....sorry I cant get into Rap. Of course living in Boston you have to listen to Aerosmith...but I prefer their older stuff. I am a music junkie.

Hehehe ... Remember I told you I met Roy Orbison? Well, for those of you that know, I was working an electrician gig at the Norman Petty Studios, in Clovis New Mexico, Home of the Thunderbirds, you know Bottle of Wine .

Buddy Holly did some recording in that Studio too. :cool:

I have to say that I do, I even relate to most of her music. Kind of that angry-girl rock that's raw and still down-to-earth.

[Amora]

I enjoy Celtic music especially bagpipes and flutes.

But oh do I adore BON JOVI...HUGE mega Jovi fan...I have tattoos to prove it. All hail to Jon in my world!!!

[Hestia]

Another Loreena fan here too:)
I also like Enya and I have David & Steve Gordon's Sacred Earth Drums which is a family favorite. I also enjoy Gary Stadler's Fairy of the Woods--very ethereal and soothing. Plus Stevie & Fleetwood Mac, traditional celtic harp & recorded sounds like chimes, streams, the woods, etc...

[cydira]

I see that I run away from the computer for a little bit and I miss most of the conversation. <laughs> I think that my fave of Loreena's work is probably a toss up between two songs. There's her one called Moon Cradle. I forget what CD that's on, but I'm about to steal my beloved's copy of the CD. <grins> Also, I love what she did with Greensleeves on her CD The Visit. :)

Hey, who here also likes CCR? <grins> I may not have been around at the time that the stuff was played on popular radio stations, but my parents raised me on southern rock and classic rock. :D

[Earth Walker]

CCR, The Guess Who, Steppenwolf, The Mamas & Papas.....lots of good stuff. :)

I suppose when you work around those type of folks you come to think of them as just part of the job and it never occurs to you how special they are because to you they are just people you meet at work.

I mean, for some of us, people Like John Napier and Andrew Bridge are bigger celebs than most performers.

Not trying to be cool, Mystique, but that's also part of growing up in the West Texas/Eastern New Mexico area. Sometimes we take it for granted, I am sure there are folks in other areas of the country that are the same way.

Love Ya, Gal :)

Also by way of introduction, I would LOVE for you to hear my latest music thrill,
Angels of Venice, who really are fantastic, sort of combination classical new age rock ( they have performed with Metallica) and renaissance music.

I like all that you mentioned but, you can keep the Doors. Don't know why but, I never cared for them.

I was in a local group here called Zookepper. Other locals I liked were El Groupo Sexo and The Swamp Zombies. The Zombies were pretty cool because they were all acustic. They played at a lot of art shows.

I am a Sagi, with Scorpio rising and Capricorn moon ...

Blue :cool:

[Swanspirit]

Merry merry
so open and welcoming, do you find that having a capricorn
moon is an extraordinarily sensitive experience, contrary to the
"stereotypical" astrocasts? I have that placement myself, and it has been
very similar to what is commonly called the "cancerian thing" in which there is a sheltering
need, to shelter from the "storm" which would explain why so many capricorns get into some type of building
or engineering. Just a thought.....

John Tesh? ARGH--takes off running and screaming!!



Seriously I love Matchbox 20, AC/DC, & Rolling Stones!!
And Ozzie Osbourne!!!
Play no country music (is that an oxymoron?) for me unless you want wrestled to the ground!!!

[Dria El]

Some of my favorites (that haven't been mentioned yet!) are Black Sabbath, George Winston, Natalie Cole, Robert Plant, Queensryche (the older stuff), Shania Twain, The Beach Boys, The Eagles, Bing Crosby, Billy Joel, The Baby's, Beethoven, Burl Ives, Boys 2 Men (older stuff), Carly Simon, Donovan, Def Leppard, Etta James (especially At Last and Stormy Weather), KISS, Led Zepplin, Mozart, Patsy Cline, Patty Loveless, The Ramones, Scorpions (Animal Magnetism!!!), Siouxsie and the Banshees, Tchiakovski, and the list goes on...

Sheesh, did I forget anyone? lol

[idusty88]

Like most folks I have eclectic tastes. My formative years were richly marinated in Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Doors, Pink Floyd and plenty of Zappa. I don't consider myself a country music fan, but there is some of the stuff I do like; such as Johnny Cash, John Prine, David Allen Coe, and some of the 4 Horsemen's stuff (I sorta consider Jimmie Buffet as country - just with better weather, and like it too).
I love classical music. Mozart is a god. But, I have to admit, I also like opera from time to time. My favorite is Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri (even better than the Barber of Seville in my book). Recently, I've been on a kick for Midnight Oil, the B-52's old stuff and Offspring, with a smattering of Pearl Jam, Beastie Boys, Natalie Merchant and Weird Al.
Someone mentioned Tim Curry on an earlier post here. I love his voice. My favorite thing of his (other than Baron Von Frankenfurter) was him as King Chicken on Duckman.
I really appreciate the folks here who have supplied links to some really good music (I'm enjoying the Angels of Venice right now and Emerald Rose earlier). Thanks and keep 'em coming.

Here a good one:

My fave's are all over the chart!!! I love everything!!! Well, within reason. I love all types of music, just not necessarily all artists. Im starting to really get into classical music. I dont have a particular favorite yet, but I like everything on Fantasia 2000. In our school band we play some classical music, that is just simply devine.

Fame has gotten to Howard's head. I used to really enjoy listening to him before the books and movie. He's irreverant, but to himself, too. I don't take him too seriously. Sometimes he offers pearls of wisdom that follow you around for years.

[sherry]

Personally he could be the poster boy for male chauvinist pigs, but thats how he makes a living and look at what it has cost him!!

but thats just my little opinion

Howard could definately be the poster boy for male chauvinist pigs, but he's far less dangerous then the thousands of men out there who practice what Howard preaches - tongue in cheek(well, what used to be tongue in cheek). I think he started out playing a part to get ratings and make a name for himself. Unfortunately, I think that that part got to his head as he became successful.
