Quote:I like Metal and Classic Rock, odd combo right?
LOL...No dude, that's not an odd combo.
I have been watching this topic since it was started trying to figure out how best to expose my choices in favorite music, I think I've figured it out.
First off, I can't say I have a favorite band because I listen to far too many different types of music, those that appeal less to me I may not listen to, but rarely do I put anyone down for the music they are playing because they are playing what they feel and as a musician I respect that.
I also don't agree with dissing someone because they don't listen to the same thing you do, everyone has different tastes and thats what makes us individuals.
Now, you want to see some odd combos? Here's some of my favorites, I say some because I couldn't possibly list everything I listen to, so I matched them in pairs to show the broad range of my musical preferences.
I like:
Tori Amos and Type O Negative
Snoop Dogg and Jewel
Johnny Cash and Cradle of Filth
Slayer and Shania Twain
Slipknot and The White Stripes
Gordon Lightfoot and Marilyn Manson
BeeGees and MudVayne
Britney Spears and Pantera
Pink Floyd and White Zombie
The Doors and Willie Nelson
Eminem and REO Speedwagon
I could go on for hours, I own thousands of different Cassettes, CD's and LP's, and there is something I like about almost everything I hear.
I also like Bluegrass, Mariachi, traditional Japanese instrumental, bagpipes, classical, and older country music.
It would be easier for me to list what I don't personally prefer:
Jazz: uuhmm...I just don't get it
Dance: you know.. that repetitive electronic crap..not for me
Country: Some of the real talented ones I can handle, like Vince Gill, but most of the new stuff sounds the same to me, I love the older stuff though, like Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash.
Music has so much to offer if you open your mind to the whole spectrum, most people limit themselves to what is cool at the moment, or the music they grew up with, and then put everything else down, which is sad because they are missing out on so much.
Not me! I'll discuss with Rifleman ABBA and the Beatles with just as much enthusiasm as I will Avril Lavigne with Polynomial or Guns and Roses and Iron Maiden with HawkerTempest5 or Glenn Campbell and Waylon Jennings with my Dad.
I may not like everything that a given band or musician records, but in my opinion there is usually something worth listening to by most every artist. As long as you keep an open mind.
