I wouldn t say its my favorite kind of music, I have different favorites, but we just saw the movie " O brother where art thou" and went out and bought the soundtrack. If anybody else has heard this you know what I m talkin about, traditional country brought back to life by this movie, and now I cant get some of those songs out of my head.

[NCSunshine]

NightOwl
Mainly Contemporary Christian.



But I love most music as long as it is half way clean, classic rock, soft rock, country, etc.

Im crazy about Big Band music, Louie Armstrong, Count Basie, Louie Prima etc. Newer music with Harry Connick Jr.

One weekend was this guy in a kilt...and Lori found out " what they wear neath them kilts" (he flashed her)), and Enya. Cann t really get back into the rock from my hs days..cept The Eagles.

Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Eagles CCR, James Taylor, The Stones, The Doors, Crosby,Stills, Nash and Young, Elton John, New Alternative Rock - i.e., Offspring, and I LOVE IRISH Music - I wonder why????

Right on! I had to get the CD as well and rumor has it there is a sequal to that movie coming soon. The Dixie Chick s new CD Home has a strong O Brother flavour to it as well. Just the other night I was watching some 80 year old on PBS who I m sure was a kid when that mountain/folk/country/twangy music or what ever the heck it is was being developed. I love it!

I try not omit any type of genre. I love country, jazz, soul, pop, classical, instrumental, folk, rock, rap, disco, the irish rovers, punk, opera, circ du solie, christmas, storey telling (remember Red Sovien) what ever.



Garth, Patsy and Bach have all brought tears to my eyes.

[Cadeuses]

NightOwl
I don t limit my music experiences... I listen to what s playing on the radio!

I have pretty eclectic taste in music too. I love the music from the Cirque Du Soleil. Nothing beats experiencing it live but listening to the music is the next best thing. I also love Irish rock, latin rock and a lot of the new stuff they play on the pop/rock stations. During our New Years camping trip I listened to: Shakira, Fiona Apple, Crash Test Dummies, Dave Matthews and Paula Cole.

[Jo Ann]

NightOwl

love the Chics, Donny Iris (he wrote and performs my most favorit song..ah Leah!), ray charles, eric clapton, johnny cash, emmy lou, allison kraus, QUEEN!!!!, well guess you get the pix...

[PopUpPeeps]

Wow, a Pastor who likes heavy metal and someone who actually remembers Donnie Iris (and his song)...



I knew I liked campers for a reason!

[Sltrawick]

I guess I m from the old school. I really like Foreigner, Elton John, Eagles and Journey! Oh yea....Seals and Croft, Bread & I like the Top 40 that s out now. Just not into rap. (40 years and I ll never grow up!)

[Ernhrts3n8]

bikolee
Mostly country, although, I do enjoy the good old disco days, soft rock, anything but rap and heavy metal.

[campingcop]

bikolee
I don t really have a favorite,my taste in music is wide and varied from classical to hard rock. The only kind of music I don t like is Rap. I do have a large collection of Olides [:)]



Favorite Christmas music is TransSiberian Orchestra, and Manheim Steamroller.

[Horscampr]

bikolee
Like many of you, I enjoy a variety of music as well. I will listen to everything from country to soft rock, to rock, to pop.... Lately, I ve been into a lot of 80 s tunes. There s one station here that plays them on the radio and I listen to it all the time.



Among some of the CD s I have.....

The Dixie Chicks, Alabama, Brooks and Dunn, Dance hits from the 80 s (love that one....hehe), Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Celine Dion (I love her voice), and Bob Seger (I like him a lot too). I do like some hard rock, but I don t have a favorite band....just particular songs that I like and I have a variety of those recorded as well.



I DO prefer music that has words, so that leaves out Classical and most Jazz type music.. and I CAN T STAND Rap....... Yuchhhhhhhhh!!

[Sprintcar39]

bikolee
bikolee, Just say no to Rap. Shania, Faith are more for the looks, also I remember when The Dixie Chicks were playing on the street in Deep Ellum(Dallas).That was before they have the lead singer they have now.

I personally like local bands and not alot of the manufactured music you here on the radio. Oh I go to Luckenbach every year to hear some great music.

[Miss-Teri]

bikolee
My favorite is Rock - hard Rock, soft Rock, Metal - any kind, old or new. There s some really good new stuff out there now - Nickleback is every bit as good (even better than some) as the stuff I listened to as a teen. Geez, am I ever going to grow up?!

I also like country, old and new (DH and I graduated from a small High School with Wade Hayes, so I gotta like Country!), but must agree that I can live without Shania and Faith Hill.

No cRap music, though. That s about the only thing I m not a big fan of...

[YellowXterra]

bikolee
Top 40, Bluegrass, Classical, Pop, Disco, Old Rap, Celtic, I have been told I have very messed up music taste.

[whippetwrun]

bikolee
No favorite type of music here. Like to listen to a bit of everything. Different moods/different music. My 2 favorite artists are James Taylor and Rod Stewart. Oh, also gotta include Dinah Washington in my favorites list. DH is a serious Rush fan.

[DBGCAMP]

NightOwl
Not in any specific order...



Dixie Chicks

Lyell Lovett

Toby Keith

Beatles

Paul Simon

Harry Nillson

Bare Naked Ladies

Red Hot Chili Peppers

" O Brother where art thou" soundtrack

Garth Brooks



DW would omit the Red Hot Chili Peppers and add Cat Stevens... but otherwise the list would be the same. These are the artists whos CDs get played most often

[fivegonefishing]

bikolee
I was just admiring all the different tastes and for some reason it brought to me thinking about the concerts I ve seen. That really shows how eclectic my taste is. I don t go as often as I would like, but I have seen:



Doug and the Slugs

Rolling Stones

Don Maclean

Bette Midler

Ann Murray

Rush

Ozzy Osbourn

Ella Fitzgerald

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra

Manhatten Transfer

Canada Brass Quartet

Patsy Cline played by Gail Bliss

Circus Du Soleil

Countless Local Talent

and Barney Live



My dh s favourite music would be David Wilcox, Stompin Tom Connors and The Dixie Chic s

[barbjeff]

bikolee
Have to admit for the most part I m a classic rock fan, Genisis, Stones, Doug and the Slugs( they put on a great live show), Rod Stewart, even Elton John. I also like the blues and am partial to Robert Cray and Etta James among others.

[The Eagle and the Hawk]

bikolee
We are huge Gordon Lightfoot fans! I can t believe our two year old daughter will ask us to play Gordon! Our all time favorite is John Denver.

[CJnRae]

bikolee
Classic - particularily Bach & Mozart

Country - all

Contemporary Christian - particularily Rich Mullins and Michael Card



HATE PUNK, RAP and all heavy metal.

[jackgoesthepopup]

NightOwl
Sprintcar39 you just like to listen to the pretty ones .huh. Personally i like all music except rap and hip hop. My speakers can t take the hummph hummph of the bass sounds. But some of them are even ok. I like to listen to my scanner when i drive also and the wife and kids hate to listen to it . and i also like to listen to talk radio sometimes. So i guess it s a trade off.

[garym053]

CJnRae
Mostly Contemporary Christian Music Especially Delirious, Rich Mullins, Newsboys, Five Iron Frenzy, Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James

But also like Eric Clapton old & new, CCR, Allman Brothers WITH Dickey Betts!, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cheap Trick, and on and on! Ditto on Oh Brother, Where art thou soundtrack!

NO RAP!

[NightOwl]

This is a continuation of a very lively discussion we were having about taste in music started by BIKOLEE shortly before the old board died. I hope we will get lots of responses here about what people like to listen to. My taste in music was getting stale and I love learning about new artists or groups.



I have recently discovered a really great Texas band called " Widespread Panic" There doesnt seem to be a pretty face among them, but are they ever good!! I dont even know any of their names, but caught them in concert on DSS. While I do catch an echo now and then of early Stones, they remind me of the good, gritty down-to-earth stuff CCR used to do, and now and then a hint of Mose Allison comes to mind. Fantastic guitar work and FINE keyboard!! (Geeze, some of Elton John s wild " southern gospel" piano pounding came out of this group.)



Hey, BIKOLEE, do you know these guys? What can anyone tell me about them? How did I miss them until now? (Guess I dont get out enough [:o])
