What music speaks to your soul (brain, heart, loins)? Aka evoking emotion. Good or bad. Talk to me...

I'm cheesy AF. Blues,rockabilly, anything Irish,some pop and some classical.

@Katastrophe1969 I looooooove Flogging Molly.

Wow, how about Grateful dead Eyes of the World from Winterlan 10/19/74. Awaken from Yes' Going for the One. Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, King Crimson's Lizard, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis, John Coltrane Africa Brass, Anything by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, a live opus from the Cowboy Junkies such as 32-20 blues, Lay it Down, Blue Guitar, dragging Hooks, etc. A classic Willie Nelson song like Buddy or Crazy. I could go on and on and on. Music is a huge part of my life. I have over 1200 lps that I keep adding to, have crazy Spotify playlists that amuse me to no ends( feel free to follow me at CF Daniels).

@Katastrophe1969 it is..and I feel very fortunate that I just started dating someone who has that same passion. and now the bliss of sharing that passion with someone!

@Katastrophe1969 just keep an open mind that that is what you want and you might just find it! I hope so!

Love Aesop Rock, Run the Jewels, Rage Against the Machine, Kendrick Lamar. I'll be checking out the others I'm not familiar with. Thanks! If you're up for it, drop off a YouTube link to a few of your favs In the Eclectic Jams group.

@Fearlessfreep I didn't see that group, but here's some of my favorites by those not listed above

Even though I'm not a big fan of auto-tune, I do like this one

@Katastrophe1969 Thanks, my favorites by them are probably Roses and Walk Alone. I also dropped a couple dozen links here if you wanted to check them out.

The Blues. Really low-down, dirty-grinding, make you wanna get sexy with somebody, Blues.

Jazz. Especially Thelonious Monk. This is just about perfect:

jazz is so perfect. LOVE LOVE LOVE jazz, especially on vinyl. Monk is amazing!

Indeed, jazz is it for me, too. Also soul and funk.

@mrcharlie65 There is something about jazz that really suits vinyl... even though the music is "set in stone" as it were while being recorded, it seems to somehow absorb the crackle and hiss and incorporate it into the rhythm. A friend of mine has a first imprint of Kind Of Blue which he bought for the not-exactly-princely sum of £5 - as you can imagine, for such an otherwise collectible record to be so cheap it looks like a cat has been ice skating on it - but it's a very interesting listen, almost like an alternative version.

Metal is my go to energy source but I enjoy lots of music!

@Katastrophe1969 two that show up in my play list with some regularity: Killswitch Engage


Atreyu
Also 5FDP, Motorhead, Slipknot, Fozzy, Tivium, Wolfheart, etc.... \m/ (with a nod to Dio 🙂 )

@Katastrophe1969 had heard of them but hadn't listened to them recently. It was fun to listen for a bit. Thanks for the reminder! 🙂

Alanis Morissette and her music really speak to me in mind and heart and soul. She writes and sings from the heart and her own experiences, and I feel like she is someone who would be able to understand and appreciate many things I've thought, experienced and felt. She's also recorded some beautiful love songs, where she also keeps it real.

This a very nice one:

@Katastrophe1969 I like the lines "this man knows not how this information has affected me/but he knows the color of the car I just drove away in" -- for me, it expresses the vulnerability, the fear of having to deal with the feelings so well.

I dissect just about everything i listen to in terms of music theory. 50s rockabilly, 60s surf, 70s powerpop and punk, 80s new wave.

Here's one that i would classify as power pop, though they were actually part of the late 70s New York CBGB's / Max's scene. Just a straightforward rock n roll song but with a sense of cool you don't hear in too much new music.

A very eclectic wide range of music.

....and more.

I should have included this one...

The Blues. The saying goes, "How do you play the Blues? You gotta feel it!"

@Katastrophe1969 There's a wide spectrum of blues from traditional to contemporary. I like artists that might not be considered blues, but definitely have been influenced by the blues. So I like some traditional to everything in between. These are just a few examples.

1

Chopin piano solos of all kinds. Puts me in another place. I love that a human could make such a beautiful thing, and that another human can play it and bring the person who wrote it back into this reality. Other classical piano as well. I also love good old rock and roll. Just makes me happy. Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Bob Seger, LEON RUSSELL. Most real music moves me.

Where are you on Bach? JS, obviously; I mean the kids JC and CPE were no slouches, but JS is a god. The Well Tempered Clavier is a favourite of mine.

I like many music genres; bluegrass, rock, pop, jazz, classic, K-pop, Thai pop, Thai traditional, Latin pop, Caribbean, Reggae, rap, African, R&B, Cuban salsa, etc. Luckily, I can listen to it all on accuradio.com, which streams music in multiple genres, and you can even make your custom radio channels.

Throat singers..like Huur Huun Tur..awesome it rattles my bones..and it ain't metal..which can rattle me too..

Enigma

3

Blues,southern rock and grunge (Alice in Chains, Soundgarten and Nirvana-all good

2

Seductive

2

Rock’n’roll

3

Simon and Garfunkel. The protest and folk music of the 1970s. Much clasical music, particularly that which is powerful and.or melodic -- Max Bruch, Stravinsky, Copland, etc.

1

My music to relax by might be something like Enigma. When I'm with my friends, we like to dance to Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake or anything to get our blood flowing, even James Brown or Little Richard.
