LOL, yes it did work!

Hmmm ... I guess if I had to put it in 10 words or less I would say anything that has good guitar playing in it, from Jango to Malmsteen. Overall, I'm an old school metal guy.

Post by: dave_mc on December 06, 2005, 06:17:06 PM

i like a bit of everything, as long as it has good playing in it (whatever instrument)

rock (classic and more modern and 80's), blues, jazz, shred, metal, classical etc.

Hey I like metal aswell!

Title: Oh youd better look here.
Post by: willo on December 06, 2005, 06:26:15 PM

heavily digging anything left-field and interesting right now; Hella, Marc Ribot, Sonic Youth (early stuff) and Nels Cline.

Love Zappa, jazz, Mahavishnu, some rock...but I am getting quite tired with a lot of what passes for 'new music' - how can it be new if you are just rehashing records from the 60's/70's/80's? :evil:

Metal is ok, I like Mastodon, Tool and Opeth, amongst others.

I like anything with some creativity and originality, but I don't really listen to much heavy stuff these days. My tastes have mellowed in my old age.  :)

I like guitarists and bands that write cool riffs--the riff is where it's at! Plus, of course I like decent lead guitar playing. I've listened to just about every guitarist who recorded anything in the last hundred years (slight exaggeration), because when I used to teach guitar I would have different students ask me to figure out their favourite music and had to learn everything from Cannible Corpse to Dueling Banjos. On average I was figuring out probably 30 new songs every week.

Since you asked, here are some artists that have been instrumental (heh) in shaping my own sound over the years:

The Beatles
Early Rolling Stones
The Police
Hendrix
The Doors
Bob Marley
Rancid
Dire Straits
U2
Metallica
Tommy Emmanuel
Robben Ford
Satriani
Vai
And some guy named Joe who used to sit around and play solo jazz guitar all the time near where I grew up.

These days I listen to Lincoln Brewster a lot. He's probably the only guitarist in mainstream Christian music who's any good.

I like most things, jazz, funk, blues, metal, black metal any thing really.

Post by: Armotron on December 06, 2005, 08:16:20 PM

I'm into Blues, Blues/Rock, Classic Rock mostly 60s or 70s, and jazz. The british blues players of the 60s influence me the most, Clapton, Green, Beck, Hendrix. I like anything from Howlin Wolf, Cream, Blind Faith, The Doors, Rory Gallagher, early Fleetwood Mac, Traffic, Allman Bros., Jethro Tull, Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Bloomfield, Johnny Winter etc. etc.

Title: Oh youd better look here.
Post by: Bainzy on December 06, 2005, 08:17:14 PM

Most of the time I'll be listening to classic rock to 80s metal/hard rock, then sometimes heavy metal, shred and blues stuff. I don't really have time at the moment to go out and discover different music but I get a lot of original stuff in the album review submissions we get at Shredaholic.com so that keeps me entertained too. There's hardly any modern bands I like, with the exception of The Darkness, Foo Fighters, thats probably about it actually  :lol:

Title: Oh youd better look here.
Post by: maliciousteve on December 06, 2005, 08:31:12 PM

Although i love metal, i listen to other styles. Baroque, Blues, some chilled out music and Jazz fusion.

A small list of favourites:

Judas Priest
Shawn Lane
Greg Howe
Strapping Young Lad
Emperor
Paganini
Bach
Asha
SRV
Albert Collins
BB King
Rusty Cooley etc etc etc

Today I'm digging the Johnny Cash American Recordings series and Unkle (dance music).

Most of my vinyl's classic rock.  CDs are folk and modern rock.  MP3's are just about anything and everything.  You name it I've got most of it - 2,000 records, 1,000 CDs & couple of 100 CDs of MP3 loaded into a Sony juke box.

Fave instrumental would be Hallucinogen and Tomita's Picture at an Exhibition.

I like all sorts of music but I usually just get really obsessed with bands/artists till I burn out on them :D

Currently I'm loving Minds Eye by Vinnie Moore and Tango in the Night by Fleetwood Mac.

I like everything from rockabilly to metal and everything in between.

Basicly, if it has the word 'rock' in it, I'll like it.

I like anything with guitars in, pretty much every genre of rock\metal that you could name :P

Appros of nothing, this reminds me that back in the '60s, folk purists in the States considered bluegrass players aberrantly obsessed with technique and speed.  It was, like, the shred-metal of the US folk scene :)

Amen!

Though ever since I was a toddler, I've liked music with:
* Weird noises, be they whale-song samples on Judy Collins records  or blinding effect-drenched psychedlic space assault
* Thick, heavy tones, be they from Wagner or Zakk.
* Folk/World feels (perhaps because a lot of traditional music actually has pretty heavy, if acoustic, and weird sounds in it :)).

A good melody helps, but frankly I can listen to shamanic chanting and drumming for hours (even without weird drugs) as long as it was good shamanic chanting and drumming :)

My starting points for contemporary pop/rock were: the Monkees (!), the Beatles, Def Leppard, the Grateful Dead, the Allman Bros., Creedence, Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, Led Zeppelin, Hawkwind, Motorhead, Metallica .... I never listened to much pop/rock before about 1986 or '87, but those places are where I spent a lot of my first 5 years or so of contemporary music.  Then came university, big-city record shops, and the Internet, and waaaaay too many CDs!  Rock, metal, folk, blues, Coltrane, whatever! :)

But before that .... My grandad was heavily into classical, and an amateur composer -- I picked up a love for 19th-century Romantic composers from him, I think: Rimsky-Korsakov ("Russian Easter Overture" is one of my favorite pieces of music, ever!), Borodin ... even more Grieg and Sibelius (Kullervo Symphony! It's like doom metal with a symphony orchestra and a full choir! :twisted:).  My dad was into 60s folk stuff, like the Kingston Trio, and my Mom into the likes of Joan Baez, and when I was a baby they were always playing Johnny Cash (folky -- but kinda heavy in a way!).  From there I eventually pickup a liking for bluegrass (I wish I could pick banjo!) and British folk stuff; I also dig the Scandinavian "modern folk" bands like Garmarna, Hedningarna, Hoven Droven, Gjallarhorn.

More recently .... my wife is a major Latin music fan, and that got me into classic salsa dura, like the '70s Fania stuff, Niche, Fruko .... I'm not as into the romantica stuff, or so much merengue, but Juan Luis Guerra has some great songs.  And Carlos Vives (Colombian vallenato-pop-rock) and Shakira (especially before she "went gringa";)) have some great stuff --really!

Post by: PhilKing on December 07, 2005, 06:17:36 PM

I pretty much like anything other than country and western, broadway musicals and gangsta rap.

I have music from pretty much every other genre, including celtic, folk, modern country, classical, pop, new wave, new age, progressive, metal, jazz, reggae, hip hop, dance, early rap, soul, r&b, funk, techno and lots and lots of classic rock and blues.

Title: Oh youd better look here.
Post by: Skybone on December 07, 2005, 06:43:14 PM

Generally I listen to a lot of heavy stuff, from rock through to metal, through to bands like Neurosis, ISIS, Killing Joke & a load of other hardcore punk-y stuff (none of yer Blink182 'ere mate!).

I'm really getting into the new generation of indy artist's like the Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight, Franz Ferdinand et al, and singer/songwriters like Heather Nova, Sheryl Crow, KT Tunstall & Nerina Pallot.

Heh, whenever I rent a car out west in the US, and don't have any CDs, the "hat music" radio stations drive me nuts.  I dig the older country, folkier, stuff sometimes though. I have a bizarre liking for the Fiddler on the Roof music, but I also blame that on my parents having it amongst their small LP collection when I was a kid ;)

Last time I played guitar in a band (as opposed to bass) we were doing a Sheryl Crow cover! "Everyday is a Winding Road", I think.  It was pretty fun to play actually, though I was dubious at the time -- I consoled myself by thinking that if Jack Bruce could play live with Crow, I could play the cover. And it was fun :)

Post by: Drac on December 07, 2005, 11:05:13 PM

As for me:
-All kinds of styles go in...I listen to all kinds of things: classical, swing,jazz,lounge,sountracks, sound effects, power punk, metal...
listen to music constantly when  grinding guitars at the shop, and subsequently burn through my own acquisitions in no time...
-I'm really into live 365/net radio, for the random factor-
 
-then when I pick up the guitar,
metal comes out...
Like mixing colors for painting/printing-
 - all colors together make " Black"- ( or rather, 'baby's-tail brown')
-ROCK!-

well currently I am listening to Augustus Pablo (dub), but the past few years it is mostly metal.  I like DJ's like Sasha who do interesting stuff - not just spin other people's tunes.  10 years ago it was hip-hop and jungle, and prior to that metal, punk, indie.  I get bored quickly, but metal seems to be progressing the most recently.  Oh yeah also the Allman Brothers and Johnny Cash.

i'm a big fan of the Happy mondays, oasis, the stone roses. but now i'm more into the beatles,jimi hendrix (is my favorite), SRV, and there are others that i can't think of right now. also as a hard stuck to rule, i avoid emo at all costs because in my opinion it all sounds the same with the exception of arthor nix by jupitor sunrise which is just funny
