Music

[Guest Charles]

Hey guys...since it's the off topic lounge, might as well talk about something we can all relate too: music. Music is what keeps the world moving and it never stops, even in tough times like these. What does everyone here listen to? Favorite genres, artists, etc...feel free to discuss! It's going to be interesting to see the results.

 

Me, I listen to all sorts of music but I have a particular liking for 70s rock. I really like Led Zeppelin, but I also listen to other similar bands like Def Leppard. I like songs like Viva la Vida and I also listen to the occasional death metal song. However, my favorite artist all time would probably have to be Nas: his songs are incredible, and I can relate to his songs because I lived in Queensbridge for a short time when we first moved here!

A 14 year old kid actually heard of Def Leppard lol. I thought for most of today's teens, Britney Spears, N Sync and Boyz II Men was considered 'oldies.':cool:

 

FYI. Charles Def Leppard is more an '80's band though they been around since 1978/79.

I listen to a variety of music. I listen to pop, r and b, and rock. Z100 and KTU play the music I like.

There's always been crap music. But yeah, some of my favorite music is from the 60s and 70s. What a time to have lived. But I am always sure that there will be good music, you just have to weed through all of the bad stuff to get what you want to hear.

 

I enjoy all types of music from all kinds of time periods. I grew up on the Doors, the Beatles and the Beach Boys, and I switched over to Iggy Pop, the Ramones and all of the punk stuff, Ska and now I'm listening to Modest Mouse, the Decemberists and the Dandy Warhols. But I love all of it, new and old. I love music from almost every genre (80's hair metal excluded).

Remember i was born long time ago in 1972. lol I know i will leave out some great performers out in my list but just touhing the surface for my picks in pop/rock music. I either go their cd's(albums)or downloaded several of their songs of these singers listed.

I would also add Micheal Jackson in 1980's too(like or not he a great performer but his accused charges of sexually molesting boys bothers me)

[Y2Julio 206]

I listen to anything. From Classical music to death metal, from Bach to Marilyn Manson, from Les Paul to Nirvana. I also listen lots of spanish music: Merengue, Bachata.

[Shortline Bus 1,121]

Only thing in music i really hate is the hard core heavy metal and hard core Hip Hop Rap that promotes violence, ie discussing sucide or sexist anti-woman lyrics or songs that use racist slang like the "N" word.

 

I am not a fan of censorship or political correctness either but when i listen to music i want to be taken away from the problems of our current world.

[Joe 781]

I generally like Motown, R&B, soul, some funk, and 80's rock. To a lesser extent, I enjoy some j-pop, but I have no knowledge of japanese...

Someone did that at one of my school dance... people were staring.

[INDman 414]

Over the past few months I have been listening to music a lot less, but I still do every afternoon before class. I am really into punk rock (it's not dead), some metal, and some older stuff too. I am a huge fan of Dead Kennedy's, The Misfits, Operation Ivy, and Rancid. On the whole other side of the music spectrum, when at BERA working in the shops, I don't mind when some of the older guys put on 1940's music. I do however hate rap and country. Other then that I don't mind other kinds of music.
