Thread: Music people out there... What kind of music captivates you the most???

Jazz Jazz

Jazz as well
classical too
rock
pretty much everything, lol

I played jazz and blues (bass and trombone) mostly in high school, but right now I'm most into jam bands. Dave Matthews Band is by far my favorite. I've travelled around the country to see them. Cant get enough. Also love Pat McGee Band, Ben Harper, Moe, Phish, etc...
As far as jazz goes, I love everything from M. Davis, Coltrane, and J.J Johnson to Sinatra, Benny Goodman, and Harry Connick Jr.

Oh yeah...almost forgot. I was a big hard core, punk, death metal guy in high school, too. Go figure.

What.. I like hardcore, death metal, and shit. Especially when headed to the gym

Trust me...I wasnt knocking it. Just thought it was strange considering my other tastes.

I would consider jam bands on par with the free form Jazz style, that's the reason I like Jazz it fits my free form mind, I love jam bands myself I wish every band did hours of jamming instead of 3 minute studio sessions... anything over 7 minutes is the best and you gotta love when they stretch them for 30 minutes or more.

that i will get shivers down my spine....anything that does that....

I bet var could send shivers down your spine.

God, im laughin so hard

cool... so many people like metal here... I listen to hardcore too sometimes, progressive bands like dream theater, instrumental like joe sat, steve vai, yngwie malmsteen, and eric johnson(nice to the ears). I like anything from the 60's to the 90's... Aerosmith, doors, the who, led zep, guns, megadeth, metallica... And my favorite era grunge, alice, pearl jam, soundgarden, nirvana... the big 4. I also listen to blues, jazz, classical, r&b, alternative... pretty much everything...

No collective soul

I play Metal:
Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Slayer, Disturbed, Slipknot, Ozzy (sent him an audition tape), old Pantera, Dio, Sabbath, Big Iron, Pornlab, King Diamond.

My guitarists are:
Jake E. Lee, Zack Wylde, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai (when he's not playing anything too damned goofy), Dan Donagan, Kerri King, Mickey Dee, Kirk Hammet, Yngwie.

My style is: Randy/ Van Halen/ Yngwie mix. Or so Ive been told. Yes, I actually still play solos. People that say they dont "because they lack soul" just CANT!!

My prefference is hardcore techno club dance music

If I listen to music while working out, which I dont, it's slow Piano or Violin concertos, Barry Manilow, Barry White, Tony Bennet, Frank Sinatra, or old 40s crooners. No metal, it distracts me.

I have liked a few CD's in whole.
Savage Garden's first and second CD.
Will Smith's Willennium
and Linkin Parks first CD, I am liking Meteora alot right now too tho.. might be added to list

Shamisen

Yah collective soul is part of it ofcourse... how can I forget their ear melting melodic riffs...

Classic Rock
Classic R&B

Rock, Hip hop, and acoustic stuff.

I would say DMB is my favorite right now, but that changes monthly like my period. I imagine I will be back in the Jimmy buffet mood in a couple of days since the weather is turning out well.

I saw the dead last year and it was incredible, even though I was not even a fan before, but hey, I got free box seats so I went.

I suppose I have a place in my heart for 80's rock, even the glam stuff.

Radiohead, Outkast, The Roots, Thursday, Dashboard Confessionals, D'angelo, Stone Temple Pilots, Led Zepplin, Nirvana, Alice in Chains...

First and foremost the late great Tupac Shakur....

..besides him, I have been getting really into Big Pun's flow alot lately, Canibus' flow is always incredible, Tech n9ne is just the best rapper period, Yukmouth is thugged out as a motha fucka, Brotha Lynch is Siccer than sicc no doubt, Eminem is one of the best lyricists of our time no doubt and is a pleasure to listen to always.

besides teh hip hop, one of my favorite artist is Bob Marley, I love listening to all his shit, I can't get enough of him!.
peace

it kinda depends on the scenario..oldies are great to just kick back and listen to or before bed or when i wake up...when i go to the gym it's all hip hop...when i am just chilin i like listening to Tupac, Ghostface, good lyricism stuff...

Cant Believe no one likes country

Brooks & Dunn
Tracy Byrd
Alan Jackson
Aaron Tippin
Sometimes Toby Keith

hey oaktown, I like how you modified your location, home of too short AND the luniz, but don't forget Pac and e-40, shit the list is a mile long come to think about it. I got a cool pic of Yukmouth in my gallery from his concert I hit up a few weeks back.

country all the way. pure and simple vocals are my thing

speaking of country i listen to blues traveler, neil young (sounds country to me), counting crows, lynrd skynrd, alan jackson... etc... feel good music, helps you relax and appreciate nature at its best...
