OT: What do you listen to?


opey one

Recommended Posts

Like me, you have to listen to music during the drive to the cache.

 

I have compiled some CD's to suit my immediate situation.

 

Any of you do strange things like this?

 

Give me some artists and songs or albums.

 

I frequent the classic rock station and have albums of most (if not all of the great classic rockers).

 

Also, I am a good neighbor and friend of Dr. Ralph Stanley, and have to enjoy his music and his son Ralph II.

 

I'm partial to Lynrd Skynrd, Bob Seger, Eddie Money, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet and the Late Great Stevie Ray Vaughn.

 

Ralph Stanley I and II are my firsts, though, since II comes down and picks a little with me from time to time.

 

Let's hear what your favorites are!!!!

 

P.S. As I am typing, I'm enjoying "Angel Band". Man, it's great!

I'm bucking the trend here...

 

Beausoleil and Andean/Peruvian/Australian Aboriginal/Chicken Scratch/Ethnic music.

 

My other half prefers Kurt Cobain and other hard rock.

Opey, we're from the same neck o' the woods and apparently have almost identical taste in music.

 

This list could be long! icon_biggrin.gif

 

Classic Rock is my favorite. Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn and ZZ Top has to be at the top of my list. Other favorites (in no particular order).... Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers, The Eagles, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Marshall Tucker, Jethro Tull, Van Halen, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Foreigner, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Foghat, Doobie Brothers, Ozzy, Sabbath, Judas Priest, Blue Oyster Cult, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Bob Seger, Doors, Kansas, Springsteen, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dire Straights, Boston,and Styx... etc.

 

Some songs that come to mind to get me in "Cache mode"? ... "Ramblin' Man" , "Carry on my Wayward Son", "Walk this Way", "Flirtin' with Disaster", "Fire on the Mountain", "Call me the Breeze", "Run Through the Jungle", "Spirit of the Wild", and of course ... "Free Bird"!

 

Of course, like you, my roots are in the Bluegrass Music of our beloved Appalachians.

Some of my favorite bluegrass ...Ralph Stanley and His Clinch Mountain Boys, Bill Monroe, The Carter Family, Seldom Scene, Flatt & Scruggs, Big Country, The Osborne Brothers, and some local artists ... Fescue, Konnarock Critters, The McKinnons, and Wayne Henderson.

 

Funny you should mention Ralph Stanley. icon_smile.gif About 15 years ago, (when I was in Law Enforcement) I stopped his bus for speeding near Wytheville VA. It was about 2 or 3am and they were heading home from a performance. I let them go with a warning. icon_wink.gif

 

I also like classical music. "Flight of the Valkeries" by Wagner comes to mind as an excellent tune to get pumped up on, for a day of caching.

 

Basically, I enjoy most kinds of music. I just never have aquired the taste for "Rap". icon_razz.gif

Even though I'll be closer to 50, than 40 this year, I enjoy listening to a lot of newer stuff. At home, relaxing, it's classical. Bach, Mozart, Ives, Geoircki (SP?). In the car, it's stuff like:

 

Barbara Manning/SF Seals

Offspring

Ramones

The Faint

Rilo Kiley

Sex Pistols

Sleater Kinney

L7

Morphine

The Apples In Stereo

Neutral Milk Hotel

Buzzcocks

Husker Du/Sugar/Bob Mould

REM

Pere Ubu

Jimmy Eat World

Spoon

Beth Orton

Flaming Lips

Cake

Pavement/Stephen Malkmus

Velocity Girl

Cursive

Bright Eyes

Radiohead

Everclear

The Pixies

Talking Heads

Television

10,000 Maniacs

The Strokes

Ween

Neil Young

Weezer

Beastie Boys

Run DMC

White Stripes

Bowie &

Johnny Cash

 

When I'm in a more mellow mood, it's Celtic folk like:

Altan

Cheiftans

Clannad

Maev

 

or country tinged folk or lighter stuff like:

 

Poe

Lucinda Williams

Nanci Griffith

Laura Cantrell

Natalie Merchant

 

I have a collection of almost 2,000 CD's and about 600 vinyl records. A lot of it is obscure or "underground" artists. It's funny to watch the look on the faces of people who stop by (outside my close friends and my brothers and my sister, who all share my taste in music) and look at the collection and say something like "all those CD's and I think I heard of maybe 10 of them".

I tend to listen to a lot of latin pop/rock music (In Spanish), and lately, some Japanese pop/rock also. That comes from interests in those languages.

 

I then listen to a lot of Irish music either traditional or rock.

 

Finally, I have CDs from quite a few genres, so I won't try to list them. I like just about everything although country can get to me after awhile, and Rap depends on the artist. My radio is usually set to the local rock station, the college station or NPR.

 

Then I have my extensive collection of Broadway musicals that I listen to on longer trips.

Usually Talk Radio, WLS 890 am out of Chicago. I especially like to listen to Roe and Garry in the afternoons . . . they seem to help take the edge off my day.

 

Yeah . . I gotta edge . . so what?!?!?

I have a CD with nothing but the live version of the Doors classic The End on it. I set the CD player to repeat mode and listen to that over and over and over and over and over and over and, well, you get the idea...

 

And you haven't gone insane yet? Or wait, maybe you have?

 

And dang it, now The End is going through my head....

Most of the above would fit fine, but mainly I just listen to Jimmy Buffet or the oldies station. My sig other prefers most of those listed above by other folks, but isn't quick enough to get them into the CD player on a long trip. icon_smile.gif

I listen to talk radio while in the car in the morning and evening.

 

Music-wise I like all 80's music (everything from hair bands to pop candy). I also like pretty much anything played on the radio except for country. Eeewwww.. country. <blechhh>

 

Mostly though I like trance, fusion, ambient and techno. Basically the only music you can still download without being called a thief.

The cachemobile's 6-CD changer presently contains:

 

Bob Marley, "Kaya"

Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd"

The Clancy Brothers Live (Irish protest ballads and drinking songs)

U2, "Beautiful Day"

Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra, K. 364

Shania Twain, "Come on Over"

 

I am not sure whether I'm eclectic or schizophrenic. Each of these CD's reflects my mood when venturing forth on a cache hunt or a major cache-a-thon.

A little bit of:

 

Classical, Hard Rock, Rock, Classic, New Age, www.wwj.com , www.wrif.com, etc

 

Matalica, Fleetwood Mac Rumors, Stone Temple Pilots, Guns & Rosaries.

 

What ever music that sounds good that has melodic tune to it. No destructive stuff, not good.(Any Jam without the Harmony or Melody). Ill take Jam on a peanut butter sandwich, before I listen to gitar jams any day.

 

If you saw it above, you know what I misspelled, it was ROSES.

 

Some older music is as painfull to listen to as those stupid American Equity Mortgage ads on every commerical radio station there is.

Well, in the car I switch between NRP and Rush. Since most radio music stations suck.

 

Music tastes

80's punk (when it was angry, now it's whiney)

Alternative when it was alternative (Femmes, Butthole surfers, pixies, social distortion, primus )

Acid Jazz/Funk (Greyboy Allstars, Robert

Walters, Galactic, etc)

Classic Rock (Doors, Old Stones, Joplin, Hendrix etc)

Some Rap old a newish(Cypress Hill, Eminem, Snoop, others)

Lounge Music

Lot's of ska (all 3 generations of it, skatalites to Let's go bowling, dancehall crashers and in between)

Raggae (Marley, toots, pato, etc)

Real Country (Cash, Neslon, Jones)

 

Big fan of Sublime... got drunk with them one night years ago before they had a hit.

 

Dislikes

I can't stand that stuff either...well I can tolerate Springsteen, but I'm from NJ. Let me add REO Speedwagon & Toto to that list. I think the first 3 you mention are among the most horrible artists of all time. Like fingernails on a blackboard to me!

 

I really like the bands on drmmode's list. I recently discoverd The Faint and they're fantastic. And of course Japan and New Order are classics!

YOU BUNCH OF SICK PUPPIES!!!!

 

Don't you know that rock-n-roll comes straight from the fire below?!?!?!?! Save yourself and listen to something more wholesome, with a goodness and kind-hearted feel to it.

 

I think Iggy Pop summed it up just right when he said, "pretty face and a dirty love, knew right away that I had to get my hooks in you, yeah,yeah,yeah your pretty face is going to hell, baby I can't tell ..."

 

Rock on garth!
