Yes Pbb because I'm Scottish and I hate bagpipe music....
What do You listen to?
I was just browsing through the forums and ran across the "Most acheingly beautiful music" forum, and looked through all the responses and im somewhat confused.
Risking an all out brutal verbal assault by the 'Gon'ers, its becoming my impression that alot of the people here have a very limited taste in music.
It seems to be isolated around Classical, Contemporary, Soft Rock, and blues/jazz.
I would say Rock, but honestly, when i think of Rock i think of Metallica and GodSmack, not Jethro Tull or Grateful dead.
(i guess thats just an opinion though.
Now, Im hoping that people here have wider taste in music, after all, it comes in so many forms (even ones that older people refuse to recognize)
I mean hey, i gotta be honest, one of the best recordings ive heard was EMINEM's Marshal Mathers. Talk about a hell of a recording (musical content aside), it was crisp, clear, focused, and over all, one of the best recordings ive heard. (once again, im risking a brutal verbal assault.
So, Lets hear it for what types of music people listen to!
Just because i would rather Jam out to Metallica and drink beer instead of listening to Motzart with a fine wine does not mean my passion for music is any less!

Before it goes further, I don't mean to insult anyone's taste in music. I myself have the entire Black Sabbath catalogue on CD. Is Sabbath Christian, Satanic or other? Who knows? Even still, does anyone remember when Ozzy was scarey? As for aggressive, I believe aggressive music comes in all forms. There is lots of very aggressive jazz that I have in my collection. Mozart is very aggressive. Last, the reason I bring up solid state is that it seems to me that some of the rap and hiphop that you like has lots of heavy bass and drums. I can see a solid state amplifier really knockin' down some walls with some of the music in your collection. As for being hip, I once played a Gibson Les Paul through a Marshall stack. I had long hair and everything, but that was then and I'm not even sure if that qualifies as hip. I think it is illegal for me to even touch a guitar at my age. That's all from me. |
"Audiophanatik": Well "Audiophanatik", you won't get any verbal assault from me. As I have long believed that it is any man's (or woman's) right to listen to what he (or she) wants to listen to on his (or her) system, as long it is in the privacy of his (or her) home and in the company of his (or her) family, friends and peers. So in saying that then, I listen to the following genres. And "MUST" I say, I am still proud to say that I am a bona-fide "A-Goner", and I listen to my genre(s) of choice on a high-end system as well. And the following genres are: (01). R&B -- Alisha Keys, Alyiah, TLC, Destiny's Child (and also Beyonce), Bell Biv Devoe (and also Johnny Gill), Patti LaBelle, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, and Luther Vandross (02). Rap/Hip-Hop -- Bunches of them...... from the guys who started it all -- The Sugar Hill Gang, all the way to what is out today (and that would be 50 Cent). Mainstays are LL Cool J, Tupac, DMX, P Diddy, Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Eminem, Outkast, Trina, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dog. (03). Classic R&B -- Anything that was recorded on the Stax record label (1960s), Atlantic (Wilson Picket, Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave), and Motown (Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Tempations, Junior Walker and the All Stars, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, The Marveletts, and Stevie Wonder). Might I add that Ike and Tina Turner and Jackie Wilson are to be mentioned in this very group??? (03). Jazz -- Old Style -- Miles Davis, John Contraine, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughn, and Ella Fitzgerald. New Style Jazz includes Kenny G, Bob James, Najee, Grover Washington, Jr., Boney James, David Sanborn, Joe Sample, Wynton Marsalis, Brandon Marsalis, Sade, Stanley Jordan, Al Jerreau and George Benson. (04). Funk -- Earth Wind and Fire, Parliment, Parliment Funkadelic, Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone, and Rick James. (05). Rock -- The Police, K.I.S.S, Phil Collins, Prince (and the Revolution), and Elton John. The older and classic rock would include the Beatles. (06). Blues -- BB King, Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton. That's about all I can think of right at the moment. I am sure there are a lot of other artists in all of the categories that I have listed that I may/know (that I) have left out. But those are all of the ones I can think of at the moment. And they are on all three of the main formats...... CDs, Cassettes, and Vinyl. --Charles-- |
I first heard POD on a Christian Radio station & unfortunately, that station has changed it's format. When I auditioned my VR4 Gen III's, I took along a selection of female singers, two which happened to be Christian singers. When I mentioned this to my dealer afterwards, he said he had no idea & if I hadn't said anything, would never have guessed. Also, my church had a concert recently & even though I'd never heard of the groups, they were very high energy & sounded more like the stuff I listen to on the radio than what you'd think "ramming God down your throat" sounds like. I've always had floorstanders & 60's/70's rock has always been my mainstay. In fact I was playing Abraxas last night (MFSL version) and my wife actually sat down & listened to it! Steely Dan, Hendrix (gotta play 'Live in Winterland'), Grand Funk (gonna see them in 2 weeks), Vapour Space, War, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Doors, James Gang (and anything w/Tommy Bolin), Rare Earth, POD, No Doubt are some of what I've listened to lately along with Candy Dulfer, BB King, Cal Tjader, Ron Carter & Cannonball Adderly. I've left out a bunch like Elton, The Doobies, PJ Harvey, Yes & so on. A lot of what I listen to that is new I get off radio stations & have no idea what the names of the artists or songs are but that's nothing new for me, as I never put much stock into remembering names anyway. If I want to know what something is, I look it up or ask my kids. The main thing I can say about listening to music is if you don't like something, don't try to like it. Like was mentioned earlier, it may appeal to you one day. I'm still waiting (33 years since I was 14) for country & folk to appeal to me. |
Audiop, I find the definition quite clear. You may not understand Christians or Christianity, therefore their view of good vs. evil may have merits, you just have a different view. I was contrasting your use of aggressive and ramming; in your context they seemed to be used in similar manners and yet one leaned more positively and the other negatively. Again, I suspect you don't understand Christian music, the point is to sing about and/or to God. Rap and hip/hop will not shine through nothing for me. Enjoy. |
