What kind of music?

[miks]

G'day gents & ladies.

Was sitting here on my computer searching through my music library, as was wondering ................................................................................ .......................................

What kind of music do the people on Ninjette listen to?

I myself will basically listen to everything, but I seem to go through stages and phases, currently I'm into the Rap scene, and Opera (not the crazy dressed up fat lady singing her lungs off, but the kind like ... Il Divo, or old school Pavarotti).

[Buffalony]

I like everything too.
I mainly produce rap/hip hop with the PC on keys..but I listen to everything down to deathmetal.
I practice bass alot to rush,police/sting, SOAD to sabath, Slayer, Avenged 7x
Always Singing to sublime, Incubus, Chili Peppers

etc etc

[miks]

Aren't you talented! Singer and bass player, are you in a band by any chance?

+1 for some Bela Fleck and the Fleckstones.

I have a collection of about 20,000 songs on my hard drive and listen to everything from Louis Armstrong to Three Six Mafia. My Ipod mostly stays loaded with things like Wallflowers, Oasis, Collective Soul, Ten Years, Breakin Benjamin, etc...

I just watched the DVD of Allison Krause and Union Station in concert at the Louisville Palace. I'm not a country fan, but man, what a great band and fantastic show.

Steve you have to be careful when you say "old stuff". To some of us "old stuff" means you played Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, etc in your high school jazz band when you went out and played at the Prom's for small schools around your home town.

Somewhere along the line I developed a liking for the early "hard rock" groups like the original Black Sabbath, Kiss, Sticks and such. Lot's of 33 1/3 of them. That's another funny story - when we moved to CA in the 80's and my teenage kids had friends over they would be looking at the record covers and see those and say "so you like these guys?" and the kids would say, no that's my dads. Jaws did hit the floor.

These days, like Sunny, I like to listen to anything except Hard Rap and Rock.

[sm0kediver]

I don't know how I forgot to add this, given all the Hawaiians on this board...


Bradda Iz

I mostly play guitar, but I play several other instruments, including Uke. Bradda Iz rocked.

tried to avoid doing that JUST for that very reason!
although glenn, louis and benny had their spots on the record shelf....and i DID play trumpet in the jazz band..but we weren't good enuff to play anywhere. dad was a jazz musician, played upright bass early on..he later became a disc jockey at the local radio station for years (in the '60's)...he had a helluvah record collection...some old 78's too. (think thats what they were...but you know how that old stuff is...)

[OldGuy]

Sounds like you had a great introduction to some great music. Wonder what they would think of todays music?

[miks]

When you guys want new music, do you guys buy it from shops or (il)legally download them?

[Verus Cidere]

I only have one criteria for what I listen to: It has to mean something. If there's no important meaning behind it I find it completely pointless (Hmmm.... Sounds sorta redundant? ). So rap is almost all gone. Nothing but how many diseases you can get from all your hoes, how much money you can make talking to the same backbeat every other "artist" like you uses, and how many time's you've shot someone/been shot for no reason other than that they looked at you wrong.

I must say, however, that my preference is for metal/rock. I have a list I can give, but it's nowhere near as long (or impressive) as CC Cowboy's.

Avenged Sevenfold
Shadows Fall
Bullet for my Valentine
Aerosmith
AC/DC
Metallica
Rammstein
Steve Oimette
Smashing Pumpkins
System of a Down
Children of Bodem
Disturbed
Linkin Park
Static-X
Sixx A.M.
Papa Roach
Skillet
P.O.D. (they don't count as rap in my book. They have both meaning and real instruments)
Drowning Pool
Dragonforce
Switchfoot
Mudvayne
.......The list goes on and on!

If there is an album that I want specifically then I pay for it and download from itunes. If I'm just looking to hear some new stuff I'll listen to pandora.com or last.fm ... Both are free and legal.

they'd say:
"the music sounds the same, but the words are all wrong!..."

[zartan]

For me it could be rap, hip hop , rock, ska or even 14th century choral masses. But PLEZZ don't put me in a room of Folk musicans. ( sorry to my best friend doug who is one)
After 10 years building harps and hammer dulicmers I have freaking heard enough bout the dying dolphins and camp fire songs..
bring on some Flo rida
or even some English Beat!!!
Also
I love 40's music !!!

[mcteague]

Mostly Classical ( especially J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Mahler, Shostakovich, Vivaldi) but I also listen to the following:

Loudon Wainwright III
Great Big Sea
Gaelic Storm
Solas
Altan
Loreena McKennit
Gipsy Kings
Jesse Cook

Still enjoy the Beatles, early Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, etc.

Tim

[azia]

I listen to pretty much everything except classical and jazz.

I think I'm more into songs than artists or genres. I guess I'm the musician's nightmare in that respect. I listen to a lot of top 40 because it's easy to sing to and passes the time walking to work but I also love everything from Nine Inch Nails to Rihanna to Kenny Chesney.

[talldrink]

Blue Tyke:
"and Hard rap (b*tchs and Hoes... ). "

Stereotype much????

There does exist rap/hip-hop music that is NOT all this type of stereotypical crap.

Free your mind and........

[Snake]

I listen to just about everything:
Classic Rock
Top 40
80's (which is now becoming classic Rock)
The Beatles
Country
Just to name a few but My favorite is the Blues.

[talldrink]

I listen to just about everything (except heavy metal):

R&B
Rap
Country
Soft Rock
Blues
Motown
Gospel
Jazz
some classical (played the violin for a while soooo)

[Sailariel]

I like Classical, Opera, Jazz (early Coltraine) and Folk--Early Baez, Dylan, Kingston Trio, Brothers Four, Limelighters, Maria Muldaur. Also Simon and Garfunkel, Bonnie Raitt, and Jimmy Buffett. Some of the early rock, like early Stones, Canned Heat, Eric Clapton, and early Grateful Dead. Lately, I have beenbeen listening to a lot of Blues.

[miks]

Well, since Michael Jackson's death I've found that I've been listening to A LOT of his music, and I still bloody love it.

[ScorpionNinja]

I love GODSMACK! their still my fav band. I listen to and Enjoy 80's metal/hair, 80's rap/hip-hop, 90's metal/hair, 90's rap/hip-hop, Newer and older Country (80's - now), But at the Heart... id have to say "Hard Rock" and "Heavy Metal". Im not into todays teenage 'deathmetal' and todays 'hip-hop'. IMO the music thats came out in the last 5 years just SUCKs as a whole! Sully is coming out with his first Solo CD soon!!! Godsmack's New CD will be out this Fall/Winter!!! Cant wait.

[Nny]

Lots of classic rock.
Tool. Nirvana. Soundgarden. The Doors. White Zombie. Nine Inch Nails. Alice In Chains. Faith no More. Ministry. Pearl Jam. Those are probably some of the few main stream stuff I listen to.
Otherwise:

Sasha. Dj Tiesto. Wumpscut. Carbon Based Lifeforms. Synaesthesia. Opeth. Strapping young lad. Acid Bath. Red Sparowes. Isis. Samael. Stef. Aphex Twin.

And right now I am listening to Helix - Psymbiant 6 (Chill pill)

Too bad he isn't really keeping his page up to date...

[CC Cowboy]

There is nothing like the song of the elusive 2 stroke.

[Miss Daisy]

I listen to everything from Opera to Rock, the CD in my car today is Cheryl Cole!

I play the Alto Saxophone badly lol
