What's your favourite kind of music?

Off Topic
  • LOL there is nothing NOT on my computer except rap/hiphop/twangy country. I have international (celtic, arabic, israeli, african, french, spanish)… classical, chamber music, opera, pop, rock, lady gaga :)... I love it all, depending on my mood.

  • i, too, listen to all kinds of music. in my car it's either npr, or on xm radio 90's on 9, hair nation, or the bridge. my ipod is filled with alternative, grunge, some pop-y love songs from the 80s and 90s, a little bit of country, 70s rock, and on and on. that's one reason i love pandora radio (pandora.com). i can listen to all kinds of music with no financial commitment. recently i've been listening to the edith piaf station, be good tanyas station, nickelback station, the script station, and the jason mraz station. lots of good music i never would have discovered has come up. i love that!

  • I lean toward folk & acoustic, but like some country Robert Earl Keene, Patsy Cline, 'rock and roll', classical, most jazz. In the car, I listen to the Bridge, the Village, Classic Vinyl and of course Margaritaville on my short commute, or local public radio.
    How do you get Pandora? Via computer? I love Edith Piaf.

  • pandora.com is internet radio - also available on iphone and android phones (or any with an internet connection i'd suppose). it's totally free - just create an account. type one artist you like and it will create a playlist for you based on music with similar qualities. it's seriously phenomal! i often just have it playing on my computer while i work. on the phone, i make sure i'm in a wifi area so it doesn't eat up my data plan!

  • I only have pandora on my computer but I agree it's great. But I really like Slacker.com better.

  • Benkura, I have heard of Wolfstone. It's sort of a rock celtic hybrid isn't it?

  • I have everything.. I mean everything. Country to opera, melodic death metal to Motown..punk blues to Chopin. beebob jazz to Broadway musicals.. as long as I like it I have it. I really think music is about what moves you, not the genre etc. I love local bands - live gigs, finding those one in a million artists who write their own music and lyrics, say it just as it should be, is epic.

  • @Benkura:

    Lenora, being Scottish, I love Celtic Music. Have you heard of a band called Wolfstone (not the Wolf Tones!)

    Wolfstone Seven is a great album!

  • @MDSPHOTO:

    Wolfstone Seven is a great album!

    I prefer the Ivan Drever days of Wolfstone. Check out some of their older stuff on Youtube. I had 'Hector the Hero' played at our wedding and plan to name a litter of pups after their tunes some day.

    Ivan and Andy now both play in The Ivan Drever Band along with a chap from my home town.

    I don't get to many of their gigs anymore but used to be a 'groupy' and follow them around the place :o

  • I love all kinds of music- I do like hip-hop, I used to dance with Joe Tremaine Dance Co., so anything you can dance to works for me- but I cannot handle the hard rap stuff! I have a friend who's in a pretty good band out here in Discovery Bay. The band is called Sagacious Past- if you get a chance, check them out on YouTube. They're a metal band.

    I love Chicago…most truckers think I'm a kook for having that opinion, but I've been known to go 75 miles out of my way just to sit in Chicago traffic. :D There's a certain energy in Chicago I can't find anywhere else in the world. And yes, that says a lot...I've been in major cities from Tokyo to Prague (Praha) to Munich to Seoul as well as amost every major city in the US. There's just something about Chicago.

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:

    @AJs: It's been a very long time since I read The Wizard of Oz. Is Wichita where the story starts? I googled "Dorothy's House Wichita" and nothing came up except ways to get to Liberal. That's where the house is that is advertised all over Kansas as THE Dorothy's House. From what I understand (and I have been wrong before…it could happen again) the house in Liberal is where they did some of the filming. But I love the Witch-ita reference...:D I think Dorthy's house was just considered to be a farm house "out in the middle of nowhere".
