Posted July 3, 2018 Obviously there are many, many songs that make my ears happy but American Kids by Kenny Chesney is one of the happiest songs in the world. My ears also smile when i hear old music by Slipknot, Eminem, Candlebox and oh... Tainted Love...Not Marylin Manson`s version. So im pretty much all over the place but, like you, i just love music and need it in my life. I tell people that my life requires a soundtrack. I will put the I-pod on shuffle and confuse people by the wild swings in genres from one song to the next. Where else do you hear Tom Jones followed by Eazy E followed by Elton John and then Patsy Cline and Pantera? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2018 I was raised on a steady diet of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and and the Eagles so those tend to be my go tos. But I also have a soft spot in my heart for funk, so I listen to a lot of that too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2018 I like almost all music from country to classical, pop to hard rock and I even like music I do not understand the words (Clannad), Celine Dion French Album etc. HOWEVER, if you have any sort of rap playing I will not even enter the room. That is how much I hate that noise. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2018 I have noticed that most of you like the same stuff that I do. There are a few that I never heard of but that is okay, some of my favorites were not mentioned but all that means is that we all have a wide variety of tastes and styles. Diversity is the spice of life so let's get spicy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2018 I grew up on Surfer music & folk (Weavers, Kingston Trio, PPM, etc). I never got into Rock or the British Invasion. Hip hop, rap, just didn’t enter my world, but folk music slid naturally into blues, mostly Texas, Delta, & Chicago styles. I also appreciate the crooning & instrumentals of the Big Band era; good dance music! As is much of country & western. But my real listening pleasure is classical. As a student of classical guitar, it tops the list. Piano sonatas, orchestral works, opera - it’s all good. Music is the ultimate communications tool, crossing language & cultural boundaries. For an eye opening experience, check out the Musical Instrument Museum in Scottsdale, AZ. It takes you through the instruments of the world, broken down by geography & type. Allow at least a day! Better yet, plan multiple visits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2018 Wow - where to even start - it seems every time pages turn in life new music accompanies like a spiritual guide - so i think back to some of those times and lyrics fire up like synaptical fireworks - there's no real type for me - just a time when some music just invited me in and it all made sense.. so I think back: 1. I have my ship and all her flags are a-flyin'She is all that I have left and music is her name.... 2. Take a picture of thisThe fields are empty, abandoned '59 ChevyLaying in the back seat listening to Little Willie JohnYea, that's when time stood still 3. He used to say soulshineIt's better than sunshineIt's better than moonshineDamn sure better than rain 4. With a heart and a sword he'd drive them backPerchance to see Roxanne's eyes light up the sky again The list could go on for a while... OP - thanks for the post - great topic!!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) So many great names above, so many great bands, some gone, some still here. Joni, John and Paul, Mr. Cash, love them all, but I keep coming back to the one band that I understand, and that understands me. Sorry that you feel that way The only thing there is to say Every silver lining's got a Touch of grey I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive I know that I have posted this before, but I just love it so very much. Perhaps it's my touch of Grey. Edited July 3, 2018 by BadBoy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2018 ooooooh, Ear Candy love it. its one of those subjects that just about any one will discuss their likes and dislikes openly. I love just about any thing from then 50's to current. right now I have been running a lot of 21 pilots, Ghost, black keys, and Joe Bonamassa mixed in with all the other mentioned in the other post 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2018 Gotta reduce it to categories or I could blather all night! But Bad Boy reminds me of the amazing list of musicians from San Francisco: Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Santana, Pablo Cruise, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Metalica, Sammy Hagar, Huey Lewis, Hot Tuna, Journey. Amazing bunch of music from one location (and I just hit the ones I like and can remember!!) I like many types of music, but I am a total sucker for blues or blues influenced ass kicking guitar hence: British chapter: Ten Years After/Alvin Lee, Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Savoy Brown, Nazareth, Gary Moore, Snowy White, Cream, Humble Pie, Animals US chapter: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Vaughan, Roy Buchanan, BB King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix, Z Z Top, Amboy Dukes, And perhaps as importantly, the younger ones that keep it going: Orianthi, Dave Stewart, Joe Bonamassa, John Mayer, Gary Clark, Samantha Fish, Thorbjorn Risager, Tedeschi Trucks * *OK one of those isn't exactly new, he just never stops and keeps evolving 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2018 But just to "make me happy" or improve a mood, can't help but feel better with a little Moody Blues (too much in the formative years) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2018 Previous posters have listed so many of my favorites. I grew up with classical and late 50's rock and doo-wop, early 60's rock. I enjoy a variety of types of music, depending on my mood. One thing I believe is that music touches us in ways that can be powerfully emotional. It can trigger great memories...first kiss/first date. It can trigger intense sadness...first breakup, death of a loved one. It can touch so many of the emotions that make us human. Music can bring people together in some magical ways. As a teenager in the late 60's, I saw music encourage positive change. Some friends and I play at various places, just for fun. But we also play for some people who can no longer get out to enjoy live music....and those folks are so appreciative. Seeing someone with traumatic brain injury respond to music, moving their hands in rhythm to what we are playing, seeing faces that were "flat" all of a sudden light up with a smile...that is something I treasure. Damn, now I feel all emotional. Glad I get to play tomorrow for some people's 4th of July celebration and see some smiles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2018 Not to shill my own post , but I went to watch the Grateful Dead clip I posted above because I was gripped by nostalgia, and noted at 2:37 where the dog runs off with the drummer's leg - I had forgotten how absolutely hilarious that was both in concept and execution. If you are a Dead fan and haven't watched it in a while, you really oughta scroll up a few posts.... it really brings back some memories, and it is one of the classic music videos. If you are not a dead fan, beware, you may become one. Watch for the dog at 2:37. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2018 And I forgot Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy - shit dementia may be here already! But how many legends can play on one stage. Dammit, I missed it. . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I recall they played three sets of two hours each when I saw them many moons ago at Folsom Field, and the crowd wanted more!

Posted July 4, 2018 Well, let's see. How about Glenn Miller, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Led Brown, Duke Ellington.... just to name a few. But, moving toward, Elvis, Chubby Checkers, Little Richie. Whew! Simon and Garfunckle, Eagles, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd. Of course, Waylon Jennings, and who could leave out Willie Nelson. Always enjoyed Floyd Cramer on the piano with his bent-note style and Boots Randolph on sax. Roy Clark on the guitar and banjo, and among the top, Stevie Ray Vaughn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
