I don't know Los muertos de Cristo... What do they play? The best Spanish groups for me are Extremoduro, Héroes del Silencio, Saratoga, Reincidentes and Mago de Oz... But I prefer anglosaxon bands.

Well lets see, BY my signature, anyone should be able to tell that I'm a big Alice In Chains fan. Also like Metallica, but only up through the black album. Iron Maiden rocks as do Pantera, and Dream Theater. I like Dream Theater because every song on every cd is a continuance of a story, kinda like Pink Floyd. As for new stuff, I'm into Staind, Linkin Park, 3 doors down, Cold Play, Greenday, and Breaking Benjamin.
R and B, not much at all.
Rap, very little - Eminem, Dr. Dre, Tupac, and JayZ.
Misc. Jimmy Buffet, Led Zeppelin, U2, and Smashing Pumpkins.

Am i the only one here NOT into metal and rock??? I like some of this stuff, but very little of it. I quite like Pearl Jam, but i'm more into stuff like Cold Play, Badly Drawn Boy, Top Loader, U2, Turin Brakes and Blur. I have to admit also to being a BIG Simply Red fan, just love to hear Mick Hucknall sing. Having named all those bands, i will, however, listen to most types of music. My current favorite (and i wish he would bring out another track) is Gary Jules.

OH! Modern Mum here! I know Smashing Pumpkins very well, I've heard and enjoyed them through the floor boards!!
I thought I recognised some of your sig lyrics too aic2276, yes, floor boards again. Pantera yes also. Don't know your new stuff since the floor boards have stopped shaking but I will look into them ASAP!
Eminem I know and I think probably the best of his ilk.
I have a Frank Zappa album which I LOVE but I can't find it now!

Or it might even be Dweezil's! I'll look again tomorrow.

I like Simply Red because my dad likes them very much. Too many car trips with Simple Red soundtrack

Seen them live, several times, and have heard Mick Hucknal sing purely with an accoustic guitar, no other music, and i have to say he is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! Sorry, just had to say it!

well well
Elvis Presley (68-77)
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Boppin' B
Brian Setzer Orchestra (and Stray Cats)
Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Blues Brothers
Ray Charles

well basically all Neoswing (the swing that has NOTHING to do with the old Glenn Miller stuff etc., NOTHING to do with Sinatra....), Rock 'n Roll, Blues, Country, Rockabilly....

proud to be different and never going with the flow for a second

Cool David. We have a huge cd collection here, and my husband listens to almost any kind of music, i reckon you would probably find some of that stuff amongst our cd collection somewhere.

Ah... I've been waiting for that metal wave to fade... I used to like metal in my teens. Metallica and stuff. today metal gone for me, grunge stays. AIC, Soundgarden, Temple Of the Dog, Mad season. Faith No More (got all albums with Mike Patton!) and Mr. Bungle... Dream Theater... Smashing Pumpkins' CDs used to be a regular visitors to my player back then too... I'm more into The Beatles, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Paul Weller, Fiona Apple, Radiohead, Pink Floyd (of course) and other 60's-70's stuff from time to time too (Dylan, Joni Mitchel, Queen, Doors and so on...) and some Jazz.
My time as a radio DJ/music editor made me grown out of mainstream, so you can count it out of my account.

All you rockers out there behold for bands you've never heard or heard of - Coral Valley (click to listen to the demos - http://www.coralvalley.net ) and Izabo (don't have a link yet, sorry). good stuff!

Made it all this way without mentioning Elvis... oh crap...

Edit: Oh, David remind me of the Blues Brothers. me like!

aic2276 · Post by **aic2276** » 01-05-2005 21:05

Lots of good stuff there Elvisyo.

Springer · Post by **Springer** » 01-05-2005 21:15

I'll check out Coral Valley, elvisyo.
DavidM, of course Elvis I was brought up on and LOVED! :p And, well, Ray Charles...

The others I don't know

Country, yes, especially Alan Jackson and Dwight Yoakam and some other more modern ones whose names I can't even remember but I used to do Western Freestyle dancing competitions with my ex, you know 2 step and East Coast Swing and whatnot.
Having said all that classical is my real passion being an ex music teacher but it's so nice that we all enjoy such a wide range.

elvisyo · Post by **elvisyo** » 01-05-2005 21:20

Thanks aic. we share some taste in music...

Btw, that was my shorten list... and as usually, I forgot the early stuff of David Bowie, and King Crimson (Robert Fripp is my guitarist god).

Edit: thanks Springer.
