Hello, all. Just out of curiosity, who/what is everyone listening to right now? That kinda stuff interests me (sad, I know...)

Right now, "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode is running on my Media Player. Awesome song. DM is one of my favorite bands, alongside Oingo Boingo, Smashing Pumpkins, Fuel, The Clash, INXS, and Journey. (I'm only 18, but I'm a huge 80's freak)

Of course, my all time favorite artist is Adam Ant/Adam and the Ants. Something about that whooping and chanting revs me up, in addition to his total hot-ness (well,back then, anyway. You should see him now...tsk tsk)!! His "Strip" song, sans the verses, only the chorus, should be INA's anthem. Too bad he had to throw that sexual connotation in. /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Well, how about posting that chorus, so the uncultured among us /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif can kick it around?

I've been listening to the Dead,in the car but at home I've been listening to a collection of music around the world.It's interesting.

[Croydon]

Been listening to Ms. Dynamite, a popular UK artist who dabs in everything from rap, r&b, to raggae. She sings of social issues such as racism, sex, aids, violence (esp. domestic abuse)

[florida-david]

i listen to anything available at www.projekt.com. (http://www.projekt.com.) its gothic, so all you twenty somethings should know the genre. buy c.ds's, buy c.d's... sorry, its blatant advertising...

[NUDKIWI]

Anything from Marty Robbins to Metallica as long as it aint RAP.I cant really get into music where they talk instead of sing and make rude noises in the mic instead of putting some sweat into an instrument.And why cant they write their own songs for chrissakes /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

[Raised_by_She-Wolf]

<font color="green">
Croy, what albums/songs of hers do you highly recommend? She sounds interesting. I'd like to look into her music (I like trying different sounds).

Rap must die! You can't spell "crap" without "rap." (Except for maybe the "Ant Rap" /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif ) No offense to any fans in here, but I just can't stand Eminem!! Please don't get me started....

BTW, I'm listening to "Electric Barbarella" by Duran Duran. One of their few good tracks... /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[Dolby]

I haven't listened to radio in about 10 years, because it's all the same garbage. (Although I like the band "Garbage") I always play CD's. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Marianne Faithful's more recent stuff. Just amazing!

I've never heard Hank Jr. before. Does he sound anything like his father (vocally)? Because I love Hank Sr.! In fact, I have a shirt with his pic on it. It was on the clearance rack at Hot Topic. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Oh, I remember that guy. Didn't he sing that "Are you ready for some football / Are you ready for a party?" or something to that effect?

I think his pa's much better.

BTW, I don't watch football. I don't watch any sports. Hate em'. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[brainyguy9999]

Right now I'm listening to the birds outside my window. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I don't listen to music much. But, when I do, I like:

Simon & Garfunkel
Cheryl Crow
Blood, Sweat & Tears
Chicago
Lisa Loeb (some)

I also listen to classical music. I rarely listen to country music; although, when I do, I rarely hear any that I hate.

I don't listen to hard rock (I can never understand what they're saying???). However, my fiance listens to medium rock (9 inch nails, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.) and I have to listen to that when we're in the car together. I like most of what she plays, I just don't choose to listen to it. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I even like me some bluegrass, ever now en then.

And, by the way, I happen to be a red-blooded Southern boy - born and raised. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Do you also listen to Kansas?

No, I don't listen to Kansas. Actually, I don't know who they are. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif However, I did just get back from Kansas. Does that count? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Falcon46]

Well now ya went and done it She-Wolf!!! You made me take Richard Thompson out of my CD player, blow the dust off my Clash collection and load 'em up! My neighbors are gonna hate you for it!!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif But I'm kinda grateful /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I haven't had them out in a couple years. Damn they can rip it up! lol (or at least used to /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif )

Other favorites are Walter Trout and Gary Moore. (both are more blues/rock and amazing live!)

Cheers!

[Raised_by_She-Wolf]

<font color="salmon">

You whipped out your Clash collection just because I said I liked them? And if I told you I like jumping off a cliff, would you do that too? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I'm only kidding, Falcon. I'm glad you decided to live it up a little. Just don't play "Rock the Casbah" too loud, or John Ashcroft and the Patriot Act Ninjas will come banging down your door.

And brainy, Kansas was the band that sang "Dust in the Wind"


I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the momen't gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind, ohh

Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

Depressing, I know. /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Never play it when you're contemplating why we are all here.

[fred950]

Dust in the wind depressing? Not anywhere near as depressing as "the year 2525" or Simon and Garfarkles' "Bookends'.


P.S. That was not a mis-spelling. Just ask anyone old enough to remember Laugh-In.

[Falcon46]

Because you said you like them? Nope... but because you reminded me of them... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif And the London Calling CD is more my flavor /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Doug H]

"Dust in the Wind" depressing? Not if you've ever heard it played live, as I did in '87. Cincinnati Gardens packed to the roof and singing in unison. Woh! The only other spot that topped that was when they started "Carry on My Wayward Son." I'm surprised the roof stayed on!!! Memories of my concert-faring days in the 80's, before responsibility and other hinderances /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif .

Lately for me, it's been more recent fare, like Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Train, and the Counting Crows. Alanis Morrisette is still divine in opinion. I will journey back to the 80's for some fond memories, though.

Oh, yeah, Doug! I remember that Kansas concert! I was scared to death when I fell on the floor and was about to be trampled to death by the mosh pit! Luckily, my friend Smut was there to pick me up.

My favorite part of the show was when the lead singer smashed up his guitar. Hee Hee Hee /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I agree--I also hold Alanis Morisette to a status of divinity. Her vocals are so full of passion. (Well, mostly of man-hating passion, but passion nonetheless!)

[tarsus]

i listen to a mix of music 50's and 60's;
and bluegrass bands most of the posters never heard [local groups]. ever hear of the poppy mountain bluegrass festival? its held
in eastern ky each year. of all the current singers cheryl crow is a fav. " soak up the sun"
is fun but listen to "i just want to have some fun" also if you are not all ready you may become a fan. one more thing rap is not music i can do that,and i have a voice that would scare starving
lions off of a fresh kill. ron

[John_Smith_87]

I'm listing to Baroom Budies by Merle Haggard and Clint Eastwood.

[nudist_in_Tn]

If you aint never heard Free Bird and Sweet Home Alabama performed I feel sorry for you . lol

[florida-david]

if i hear free bird or sweet home alabama again, i might barf. i have heard that soooooo many times in my life, i just could not handle it again, not even live. now dust in the wind, that would be good. i have not heard that for a while and i miss it. how about hearts "dog and butterfly"??

my latest fav. song is alan jackson's "when somebody loves you" or "tall, tall trees" since my daughter has a wacky dance ruitine (spelling) for that one.

[S.M.A.]

"The Best of Procol Harum." That band is SO underrated.

[Phillip D.]

In regards to a deppresing song I think this is one of the most if not ever.

"Padraic My Prince"
I had a brother once
He drowned in a bathtub before he'd ever learned how to talk
And I don?t know what his name was but my mother does, I heard her say it once
Padraic my prince, I have all but died from the sheer weight of my shame
You cried but no one came and the water filled your tiny lungs
Appear, my dear, and sing to me
It was six years ago today that we laid you in your grave
Your sweet young skin was shining then too
And so tonight to celebrate i will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom that is spinning
So I close the door and rest my head on the tile floor
Sickness and sleep turning me cold
I'm still not sure, is there some better place I should be heading towards?
Where the selfishly sick and self-absorbed are welcome
I saw the future once, I was drunk in a phone booth
My eyes were wet and red, but I could not tell what was said
And through the screams of the traffic voices carried
Saying I'm sorry
On a day so gray it's black inside, watching churches on TV
In a coma you don?t dream, you just hope that someone sits with you
Babies turn blue when they're ignored like the sky on summer days
Before you turn and walk away it has changed you
So tonight to compensate I will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom that is spinning

[nacktman]

I have been reading these post and found them to be interesting and decided to register myself and post some of my own.

This topic was a fun one to read so i started here.

What I am listening to now is;

EARL SCRUUGS - EARL SCRUGGS AND FRIENDS
BEETHOVEN'S - NINTH SYMPHONY BY THE BONN
PHILHARMONIC
THE BEATLES - ABBEY ROAD
PINK FLOYD - ECHOES
BLUE OYSTER CULT - FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN

All playing at random in the CD player...Yes I have a very odd mix there.
when they finish i am putting on:

LEADBELLY - THE ESSENTIAL
LED ZEPPLIN - IV
BOB DYLAN - AT BUDOKAN
GAELIC STORM - GAELIC STORM
VARIOUS - BIGPIPE STANDARDS

I listen only to the best music in all genres.
And i mean music not HIP_HOP/RAP and pure trash as that.

[Raised_by_She-Wolf]

<font color="blue">
[b]
Wow! Everyone from Earl Scruggs to Beethoven to Blue Oyster Cult?
You, my friend, are one cultured boy.

Just for that, here's the "Culture Award"

http://users.forthnet.gr/ath/kimon/medal.gif

[nacktman]

Thanks for the "Culture Award" Raised_by_She_Wolf, I haven't won that one before.

But, I'll tell you the secret, I have my PhD in Archeaology as well as Anthropology so I have been exposed to the worlds music far more than most..live as well as recorded.

Also, thanks for the complement, no one has called me "boy" since Ike was the president. My grandson hooted when he read it and has been ragging me all evening about it.

[Raised_by_She-Wolf]

<font color="blue">
[b]
Wow! a PhD in two fields? You really must've liked school! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Anthropology, huh? Have you heard of the Neanderthal band "Zok and the Roonoos"? They have a really great sound...I'd say it's a combo between soft rock (pumice) and hard rock (granite gneiss). /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Hello, all. Just out of curiosity, who/what is everyone listening to right now?
__________________________________________________

Good question, She-Wolf. It's interesting to see what others like to listen to.

My interest is in talk radio and financial news. So right now I'm listening to RUSH LIMBAUGH (Rush is right!) while CNBC is muted in the background. I'm a news junkie who likes to keep tabs on how the gov't is screwing us over; and I like to keep abreast (no pun intended) of the financial markets.

When I'm totally relaxing, I'm listening to Mozart, Vivaldi, Rossini and other cultural classics. I can't stand the crap that passes as popular music today.

[Jochanaan]

If you were to visit me now, you would only hear my apartment's own noises; refrigerator hum, water running next door, and so on. But in my head there is music: Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances.

This is normal for me. Music lover that I am, there's always music running through my mind: Gustav Mahler and Edgard Varese are other favorites, along with the usual suspects J.S. Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.

[nacktman]

The music listed here is astounding. Nudist are the best of people. Listening to Mahler, someone has got the reaniassnce of the musical traditon bug bad, this is a good thing. Now if you want to get into some real classics find some of the recording made in the fields by the anthropologists of "native" music from South American Indian groups there are haunting and soothing at the same time. Do not get the western musicians rerecording of these songs while they are good they cannot hold a torch the the originals. Just imagine your self sitting nude around the fire and hearing the music played and the forests around you seem to jion in and nothing is out of place in the world...it has been the closest I have come to finding heaven.

I must say sorry for the grammer and spelling, my typing is horrible but my handwritting is worse. Also I tend to capitalize where you don't in English but you do in other tongues.


Be Nude and Be Free and all Will Be Well in Your World!

[nacktman]

Actually, Raised_by_She_Wolf I did not like school all that much (Their is still a first grade teacher somewhere that retired waiting for me to turn in homework and she and all the others are still waiting to this day..I never did one lick of homework but manitained a 4.0 throughout 20yrs in school and college, so it can be done all you young people) I just loved and still do love to learn... When you cease to learn you are dead. And I for one am planning on being very, very late to my own funeral myself if I show up at all.

No I have not heard of the Neanderthal band you mentioned but I liked the Geology pun.

[She-Wolf_Returns]

<font color="336699">
[b]
Hee Hee, I like to listen to STEVEN TYLER'S rock band, AEROSMITH, and MICK JAGGER'S rock band, THE ROLLING STONES. I also like to listen to the DOORS, whose lead singer is JIM MORRISON!!! (He's dead, by the way /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif )

[Raised_by_She-Wolf]

<font color="006633"
[b]
She-Wolf Returns, nobody's impressed that you know the lead singers of Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, and the Doors. Everybody knows who they are. And yes, we all know that Jim Morrison's dead, okay? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Wow, everyone listens to these Renaissance artists I've never heard of. I haven't taken too much of a fancy to classical and baroque, but I once had a teacher who said that we often don't like something only because we don't understand or aren't too familiar with it. Hmmm...

Except I love Vivaldi! My favorite piece of his is the summer storm one in the "Four Seasons." I have that on my Media Player, except it's the techno remix of it. /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[She-Wolf_Returns]

<font color="6633FF"
[b]
Hey, I wouldn't talk, Raised! After all, wasn't it you who thought for the longest time that the lead singer of the Stones was Nick Jagger??

I also like Bill Haley and his Comets, whose lead singer was a guy named BILL HALEY!! Plus, I like Mike and the Mechanics, who was lead by MIKE, and Sugar Ray, who used to have a boxing career, but now has a singing career and sings songs like "Fly" and "Every Morning!" /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[waitwhat?]

am i the only one that listens to bob marley and the wailers? yall should give him a try. other music i listen to is dave matthews band, the decemberists, hank williams jr., david allen coe, the offspring, dire straits, matisyahu. its sounds like im alone in most of my music tastes. i was also born and raised in the south.

oh and here is some of the rap that some of you hate so much. im going to go ahead and stand up for hip hop. what they play on the radio isnt true hip hop.

All over the world hearts pound with the rhythm
Fear not of men because men must die
Mind over matter and soul before flesh
Angels for the pain keep a record in time
which is passin and runnin like a caravan freighter
The world is overrun with the wealthy and the wicked
But God is sufficient in disposing of affairs
Gunmen and stockholders try to merit your fear
But God is sufficient over plans they prepared
-Mos Def
