Music is one of the last healthful healers (along w sex, the outdoors, reruns of 'the jack benny show' or 'the mighty boosh' when navigating an increasingly votile world.
when I'm cheerful, it's late 50's live recordings from the apollo. or prince, bowie, zappa. stressed, vintage koto music or something tuned to eno-ese... aggressive, the music of dub trio or judas priest. or mad afrocuban percussion.
other opinions?
Seems like most current music is created and delivered by bands or singers that are 'groomed for consumption'. Think of Taylor Swift (vomit) and boy bands. Oh, and country music especially that red dirt nonsense. It's all formulaic. Just like Sienfeld....
The new Judas Priest record has gotten a good number of plays on my Tidal account this past couple of weeks. Their best work since Painkiller.
had an obsession with 'turbo lover' last summer. I knew a DJ (teri bristol) who played it @ a dance club years back, and her connections with billboard got it (briefly) on the billboard dance charts!
At this very moment, I'm listening to John Contrane and Miles Davis
n o t h i n thing like driving thru the rainy chicago streets on a chilly sunday afternoon listening to the 'african brass' recordings -
I'm all over the place. Currently listening to a Buddy Holly station on Pandora. I'm 44 but adore oldies music. Been on an Adele kick lately as well, Bruno Mars. Oh the Blues Brothers soundtrack is awesome!
Well, a lot of the kids listen to rap and pop. One of my favs is Bruno Mars.
these days I have gotten into this band "the devil makes three". I like the semi-folk sound it has.
??Is this a time warp? I'm 65 years old but I listen to everything, including the latest US pop, K-pop, Thai pop, Latin pop, rap, Caribbean, Cuban, jazz, and classical.
A current US fave is this DNCE hit song
DNCE - Kissing Strangers ft. Nicki Minaj
At 62, my tastes run to literally something good from any genera. I do have an affinity for the blues. Although, I, too can listen to multiple styles. Set spotify to shuffle. Japanese techno wouldn't be my first choice, but my son enjoys, so when in Rome. When in HS my parents made my friends an I our instruments outside. Had a very bad punk band in 72, in South Central PA. And yes, that's where the Amish call home.
I like rap the least but I listen to everything. It can be over 100 years old, classical, C&W, rock, old 1950's songs - you name it. At my age I remember when radio stations played songs of every genre. Later the stations would specialize in one type of music.
Besides my usual selection I've been gravitating to Arabic music lately some are spot on vocally even though I couldn't for the life of me make out a word they're saying
I love music. At least a little something from all genres. I'm from the classic rock generation. Played guitar as a kid in a very bad punk band. And have an affinity for the blues which I share with my oldest son, a good musician, who plays many instruments, but mainly keyboards and harmonica. Currently I would say if asked for suggestions: The Dead South; and Gorrillazs.
Hard Bop, McCoy Tyner in particular, gravitating back to piano/keys after playing lead guitar for the last 3-4 years (and making little money at it). Also continuing my lonely love of surf rock instro and the harder and more aggresive bands that are playing it. Turning away from commercial music to just originals, and having a lot of fun doing it.
A little of most everything except 'bro country'. Last night I was listening to Peter Tosh 'Bush Doctor'. Saturday I watched a pretty good documentary about Rush(I know, you love 'em or you hate 'em) on AXS. Lately I've been putting the tv on Adult Alternative while puttering(is that still a word) around the house. My taste varies widely, and kudos to those who mentioned Floyd and Prine.
The Playing For Change collection of music, recorded by various artists around the globe, and then mixed down to a single version. They are f'n awesome. This one was recorded in a studio, but most are recorded in the street. If you haven't checked them out, give it a listen ...
Novareign - Lgends mind blowing guitar shred.
Today I am listening to "American Beauty".
Unless there deaf anything within range of there hearing.
Listening to my Music Group here-lots of diverse stuff fromYouTube.
