HAHA - I was a Zep Head during the same time.

Posted by Meg on 2002 AM:

Jazz, rock, alternative, classical, blues; basically anything but country! I will admit to having several cd's with parental warnings which I hide from my kids ( Beasties, Rage, etc).

ADK, if you like Irish music ( and let's face it, who could NOT like something Irish-adult beverage consumption, etc), are you familiar with the Saw Doctors? I love their music, but it is hard to find.

Ex-DJ here, I used to spin records in highschool and some dance clubs in the Philippines. 80's music, new wave e.g. Devo, B-52-s, The Clash, Depeche Mode, New Order. Still listen to 'em once in a while. Then when I moved to New York, 1991, house music (anybody in this board knows this..???..LOL) was big in underground clubs.

For my listening pleasure, smooth jazz, e.g. Pat Metheny, Peter White.. to calm my nerves. But Im pretty open to anything right now, except for rap and country.

U2's latest CD is still on my changer. Infectiousss.....

Is there anything else besides Rock & Roll??

Not for me....First album I brought (tells you how young I'm not) was a B.T.O. in 7th grade. KISS was big w/ me for a while...Moved on to more classic heavy stuff Led Zep, JIMI, Deep Purple...Then old genesis w/ Peter Gaberial, Floyd..Then I found the best group out there YES...not the new stuff, anything done in the 70's...real music...
Any of you L.I. guys follow the Good Rats??? I have 3 of their albums and seen them many times...great bar band!!!!!
Keep listening.................

Frank, what a topic!! As a lifelong keyboardist, I have continued to learn more and more about the construction of music, and like most guys that actually play, you have a wide range of appreciation that can almost seem silly, as I can easily go from John Denver to Pink Floyd in a snap......I have written just about everything from Rock to jazz and blues, to ballads, rap and whatever.....that is why I am so happy about my youngest son who has chosed Music as a career and is currently enrolled up at Berklee in Boston in Guitar performance...... now, if I had to list major groups that have influenced me:

Beatles, Stones, Doors, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Seals and Crofts, Tull, Police, Sting, Willie Nelson, BB King, James Taylor and Carly Simon, Led Zepellin, Hendrix, Bad Company, Heart, Pink Floyd and too many more to mention

However the person who has had the most influence on my Keyboards, definitely, Leon Russell, a muscian's musician........ JOHN G

I have a bass guitar that I get to mess around with sometimes...very relaxing. Here's 2 keyboard players who know their way around the keys...Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson. I'm a big fan of both of them.

Let's not forget Billy Preston......

Well, like most music lovers, I can listen to (tolerate) just about anything for a period of time. But MY choice of music is METAL!!! Yes folks, I am a metalhead.

On the top of the list of bands for me is Savatage. I got turned on to them about 12 years ago at college, and have been hooked ever since. Too bad they never made it "bigtime", but sometimes that isn't a good thing anyway. Of their dozen or more albums, I can usually find one that fits my mood

A very close second has to be Metallica. I have been a fan of theirs since '86, although they were better as a underground band before Justice.

And AC/DC rounds out the top 3 for me, especially the Bon Scott years which I feel were their best years.

If it has a screaming distorted guitar, I probably like it

GREAT TOPIC!!!

Like Joe Pido, I used to DJ professionally, and I still have most of my vinyl and, of course, my Technics SL-1200 turntables and Numark mixer. I DJ'd for a club in Tucson, Arizona for about a year back in '91. Did a lot of remix work back then, too. Also did a ton of weddings and functions. Helluva time.

I love all kinds of music, but my greatest affinity is for the 80's as that was the time of my teenage years, and music meant so much to me at that time.

Today, my favorite is still the 80's Pop/Rock for me, but I listen to all genres of modern music. Country to Classical. Metal to Alternative Rock. Folk to World Music. I'll even let some rap in once in awhile. Some of today's crossover music incorporating rock with hip-hop style lyrics is awesome (such as Linkin Park and Trik Turner). I'm especially fond of Jazz, old and new, big band to smooth. In fact, if you have a high speed internet connection, I'd greatly suggest listening to the www.smoothjazz.com and hear the great quality of internet radio at 128kbps.

I guess, like foods with me, there's probably little music that I cannot palette.

Posted by mikeD in NYC on 2002 PM:

classic rock...zep is king... ac/dc, the doors, van halen, allman bros, the eagles, bad co, grateful dead, sabbath etc...

i love reggae...burning spear, jimmy cliff, dennis brown, peter tosh, shabba ranks and marley are my favorites

elvis is great...especially the vegas years...he was a fat mess and couldn't remember the lyrics, but his voice was on... crooners in general interest me...like sinatra, engelbert, perry como, tom jones

i also dig funk...disco too when there's dancing going on...

some country like willie nelson, johnny cash but not much

i guess i like most popular music...some of the rock that came out of the 90's...nirvana, pearl jam... and some of the newer rock is good, except for the whiny crap like "my life is full of pain... the pain of living makes me want to stop the pain" yada yada yada

Posted by wnybassman on 2002 PM:

Paulie,

When I saw Savatage last May in Rochester, I noticed ALOT of Dream Theater concert T's amongst the crowd. I am not sure I have heard DT before (at least not knowing it), but it did seem that the two bands attract the same audience.

Posted by Gregg on 2002 PM:

Jean Luc - Ponty

Paulie if you know Jean Luc - Ponty did you ever hear of a Jazz band named "Stuff" only had like 3 albums Stuff, More Stuff, and don't remember the 3rd. Boy they played some tasty jazz

I definately forgot some bands that I am a big fan of. First my Wife's favs from the 70s - Genesis and Zappa. She has seen Zappa many times mostly down at the Palladium in the 70s. I also forgot two others Steely Dan and Tool!

Noel I do like Savatage and have some of the Trans Siberian stuff on my hard drive. I should buy one of there cds. What do you suggest . As for DT check out Images and Words or Awake. These are nice starter cds for people wanting to experience the DREAM!

Gregg, I love closet 70s Fusion Jazz Fans.

Never heard of Stuff. Sounds interesting. I have seen alot of 70s jazz bands in my day-- Mangione twice, Ponty twice, Weather Report, Lenny White, Cobham ( got hit by a drum stick), Pat Metheny ( actually fell aslleep), Allan Holdsworth. Dont listen to it as much as I used to but still love it.

Here is another couple of bands which live in obscurity.
Gentle Giant and Crack the Sky.

Fun Topic!

Classic rock is my favorite music without doubt.I cant stand todays version of rock and I havent a clue as to who todays' hit rock groups are.Give me The Who,Yes,Mountain,TheAlan Parsons Project,Trower,and most anything done before 85 and anything before 80 and I can get by just fine.I have developed a taste for some country music over the last 10 years,but again mostly older stuffthat was around long before I learned to appreciate it.I cant stomach the likes of the dixie chicks,Faith Hill, and others who blurr the line between country and pop.

Hey Rat,

Haa, now you got me remembering back into the fog I call the 80s, I remember the first time I ever saw or heard about the Ramones and who helped them get started..........anybody remember Uncle Floyd Vivino on a little local NJ tv station UHF channel 68. Oh and what about The Dead Kennedys.

Posted by wnybassman on 2002 PM:

Paulie,

You are the 3rd person in about 6 months to recommend Dream Theater to me. I guess I will have to investigate! Thanks for the recommendation of what to start out with.

What are you looking for, a Trans Siberian album, or Sava album??? I only have one TSO album, and it is "Christmas Eve and Other Stories". Pretty cool stuff on it. If you are looking for a Sava album, they are known for "Hall of the Mountain King", and was also my first one. I have also grown attached to "The Wake of Magellan" over the years. They have two totally seperate era's with different lead singers, the early Jon Oliva years, then later with the Zak Stevens years. They just aquired a different lead less than a year ago, and I am very much looking forward to the Damond Jiniya years!

Posted by Rob J in WNY on 2002 PM:

Butthole Surfers, eh???

Well, THIS should take you back!

An excerpt straight from my own mp3 collection.

Enjoy!

FAVORITE MUSIC ??

Well, there's only one thing I love more than fishing and that's music.
I play drums-percussion, guitar, bass (not to be confused with the fish) and dabble with the keyboard. Spent a lot of nights on stage back in the mid to late 70's - early 80's
A question for all you guys.
Do you remember the Winters Brothers Band out of Nashville Tenn ?
If you ever saw Charlie Daniels during the that time, the Winters Brothers and (WBB)
Was Charlies long time opening act.
Anyone remember them ?

For me, it all started with the Beatles and they'll always be the base of what I do musically although as I grew up, I heard some pretty good stuff from Harry Nilsson, Lee Micheals, Jeff Beck and Canned heat.
Then this buddy of mine said "ya gotta hear this band from San Francisco called Santana".
That's when I reaized that I wanted to play guitar and then after listening to them for a while, I heard all of that awsome drum and percussion work and put that into the mix of what I wanted to do.
Life goes on and along came Southern Rock and blues and I've been there ever since.
I love Southern Rock, Blues, Classic rock and of course the Beatles.
I listen to vinyl instead of cassettes and CD's unless I'm on the road.
I could start listing favorites and influences but it would blow out the site so i'll just list a few.
Beatles, Badfinger, Peter Frampton (solo and with Humble Pie). Santana, Ronnie Montrose & Gamma featuring a young Sammy Haggar on vocals, Deep Purple (pre 82). Rainbow with Hometown boy, Ronnie James Dio and Graham Bonnet, Wings, The Babys, Journey and Early Aerosmith.
Blues...Stevie Ray, John Mayall, Leon Russel, Gary Moore,
Bonnie Raitt, Gatemouth Brown, and Walter Trout.
The South....Charlie Daniels, Allman Bros (Then and now), Marshall Tucker, Grinderswitch, The Outlaws, Elvin Bishop, Stillwater, Early ZZ Top, Skynyrd and of course,......... ......The Winters brothers band.
That's just a few of my favorites but you got me going now !

Just in case any of the LI bassers are interested, I will be leading my rock and roll band into Bay Shore tomorrow (Saturday) night. And before some you start killing me again for self promotion...it is FREE so those of you policing the site can relax.

The music is good. Classic rock from the 60's, 70's & 80's with Seager, Eagles, Marshal Tucker, Stones, Blues Brother etc. We are playing at Hogan's Goat on Montauk Highway in Bay Shore from 8 p.m. to midnight. Come see me make a bigger fool of myself on stage than I do on TV
