Music !

[Megalodon]

Well I'm just wondering what type of music some of you guys listen to ? Some of my favorite are: 3 Doors Down, Matchbox Twenty, Lifehouse, Bob Dylan, and recently discovered Jack Johnson and am loving this type of music ! Does anybody here like any specific Jack Johnson songs or know any other artists similar to him ?

But yeah anyways just post your favorite types of music and favorite bands and whatnot

Well, I like pretty much every genre besides hip hop. It's not that I think it's evil or bad or anything, I just can't relate to it. My favorite bands fall in to two groups: Country and Classic Rock. I'm not sure how I've amalgamated those two styles in my head, but I really like them both.

Country:
Reckless Kelly - Alternative Country, which means that they've sacrificed any chance of being rich and famous for artistic integrity. Really, they're country rock, and would have been called a rock band thirty years ago. I honestly think they might be the most unappreciated band of our generation.

Some Reckless Kelly tracks (the good ones aren't on youtube, sadly):

[yt=How was California?]AMxGp_isIAQ[/yt]

Like I said, their best tunes aren't on youtube, so consider you're listening to their B material, but it's pretty good nonetheless.

Classic Rock:
The Who. I have no idea why I like this band so much, but they just seem to 'get it'. When people talk about the holy trinity of rock and roll, it's The Beatles, The Stones, and The Who (who are considered the holy ghost). I couldn't agree more. Probably the prototypical rock and roll band.

Also, I'm a huge fan of the Eagles, who are really neither rock and roll or country.

I just went to see Iron Maiden in Concord on the 20th for my birthday. It was freaking awesome. They are one of my top 5 favorite bands. I also like Breaking Benjamin, Coheed and Cambria, Tool, Coldplay, and the Foo Fighters. Those are just a few of the many bands I like. I pretty much have a general appreciation for all types of music but most of my favs are on the rock side of things.

I strongly considered trekking down for this. How much of their setlist was new stuff? They are my favorite metal band but I pretty much stick to the first 7 albums before Adrian departed the first time. They are in Seattle tonight but I was so thoroughly disgusted by that venue the first time I went there (to see Maiden 2 years ago) that I won't go back. I also considered Vancouver I think Thursday, unfortunately I have a memorial service to attend so I guess its good that I passed.

To the OP: My stepson recently introduced me to David Gray. Based on what you said you like, I would bet you will really like David Gray. Try on line I bet you will buy. I don't know if he is contemporary, or his time has come and gone, or if he is an "aint never been"... I have not been "up on things" since the early 80s. But the cd's my stepson bought for me are all fantastic.

Also in that vein... the Wallflowers and old Counting Crows are pretty darn good. I have not heard or bought Jacob Dylan's last project (saw it in Starbucks and did not pull the trigger) but i wish I had. I'm sure it is worth a listen.
