Captain Howdy Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 What kind of music are people from the forum listening too ? Pop music, rock music, dance music, jazz, new age, world music, acoustic music, experimental music, religious music, noise music or classical, or maybe you hate music ? Genuine question folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant.p Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 No particular genre. So long as it doesn’t offend my ears, I listen to all sorts. During work hours I listen to BBC radio 6. It covers most of your list above, it’s quite diverse! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khevolution Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I like to say I have a eclectic taste in music, but looking through my iTunes library reveals that I am mainly a rock and acoustic guy, but always open to new bands (as long as its not that modern mumbling rap my 12 year old likes) currently listening to Foo Fighters - Waiting on a War 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 @Ant.p I've never tuned into BBC Radio 6 before mate, I will now. @khevolution Hadn't listened to the Foo Fighters in a long time bud, great tune, very relevant today ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I like blues kinda early ZZ Top, Gary Moore that kinda stuff but i do like a lot of other stuff ranging from The Stranglers to Nat king Cole, tend to have radio 2 on in the truck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khevolution Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Havent heard ZZ top in a while, thanks for the suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshireman Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 My favourite band of all time is the Ramones but, I listen to all sorts really, depending on my mood! I "grew up" in the 70s/80s so if I'm listening to the radio it's Absolute 80s or radio 2. Can't stand that rap stuff though!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Captain Howdy Posted August 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 @Bajadre Haha, I remember listening to Doug e Fresh years ago (six minutes Doug e Fresh your on) @Jack ReacherWith you on the ZZtop stuff mate, I believe one of the cars from Eliminator or Afterburner was cut up into thousands of pieces, and a piece was given away with each copy of a super rare ZZtop release. @John BoothLove the Ramones mate, my favourite songs are "I don't wanna go down to the basement" and "Today your love tomorrow the world" @.AJ.Ed Rush and Optical - Brilliant, I still play the album Wormhole regularly, Optical's brother (Matrix) also had a decent album out around the time called Sleepwalk, also on Virus recordings. @turok007Love Angel Corpus Christi, I picked up her album "The 80s" years ago after hearing John Peel play her stuff one night, surreal. I also like listening to some of William Shatner's musical output over the years, very funny. All good stuff 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkbythesea Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I listen to just about everything but probably my favourite act are Daft Punk, they’re such artisans of their craft. Currently I’m utterly obsessed with Turkish funk, especially Altin Gün 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Howdy Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Jeez oh, that brings back some memories. I used to buy the Streetsound compilations called the Electro series, that showcased all the early American HipHop/Electro with the likes of Roxanne Shante, Man Parish, Knights of the Turntables, T La Rock and Doug e Fresh - Reminds me of going to school with my Puma trainers and the fattest laces I could find, hehe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I'm in to all sorts, a lot of country, indie, rock.... I can appreciate music from most genres and I think every genre has the ability to pump out a catchy hit. Got tickets to see Elton Johns final tour next year. I've recently got into Greta Van Fleet who only formed in 2012 and if you like Queen/Freddie Mercury and Led Zepplin, they've got a very similar sound, the lead vocals has a crazy voice: Another fav is a Canadian Rock/Country band called The Sheepdogs who I was lucky to see when they toured the UK a couple years back: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I like quite a few bands Hawkwind , Yes , Pink Floyd , Mike Oldfield , Steel Eye Span , Blondie , Tangerine Dream , Bangles , Jon Anderson , Vangellis , Alice Cooper and quite a few others lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 @NickYeah that Greta Van Fleet track certainly has a Queen vibe to it. Love that Sheepdogs track (they are new to me) simple little groovy tune, played really well. It's amazing the amount of new acts coming from a Country background or Alternative Country music background? Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 @StormbringerGreat collection of classic rock there. Hawkwind, like most people I remember the track 'Silver Machine' the guitars sounded so compressed and Eq'ed, it gave the track a real unique sound - and obviously Lemmy's cracking vocals. Love Pink Floyd - listened to so much of it in the back of an old Ford Cortina years ago! Interesting to see Tangerine Dream on you list - I also enjoy their trance inducing tracks, great use of classic synths. Jon Anderson's voice is not of this earth mate ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Jon Anderson's singing is certainly unique 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Tune for @Stormbringer The amazing Jon and Vangelis - timeless music that hasn't been matched to date ! @Stormbringer Edited August 23, 2021 by Captain Howdy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James.S Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Dnb, bassline, garage, deep house, 90's brit pop, 70's country, 70's soft rock, 80's cheese. Bit of anything really. If it's a good song, it's a good song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 'Future Garage' apparently. Sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
