Guest farnsbarns Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 There's no genré I can say I don't like. There's many artists I don't like. And with certain Genrés there's very few that I like. For example, Rap/Hip Hop. I like the Beastie Boys, Some Run DMC, Cyprus Hill and The Streets but that is about it (Of course there'll be plenty I haven't heard) Rock/Blues is my passion, The Doors, Led Zep, Jimmy H, Jools Holland, Robert Johnson, BB King, Big Bill Broonzy, See Sick Steve, Black Keys etc etc etc. It's very easy to flippantly say "I don't like Hip Hop" in conversation. It is rarely the entire truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 how bout you guys? are you genre tolerant? and whats your favorite? I really believe I am influenced by everything, even the music that I don't consciously love, I am sure still gets inside and works it's way in there. My favourite genres are Contemporary classical (music written between about 1920 and current stuff), particularly big works for orchestra but also small string ensembles , Baroque keyboard music, Romantic piano music, Gypsy Jazz, Big band jazz, rock 1967 to about 1972 (my favourite five years in the history of 'pop music') I also love all kinds of folk and blues and the odd heavy rock/metal guitarist like John 5. I am also a huge Randy Rhoads fan great thread Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ne14t? Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Only type of music I never got into was that REALLY whiny country music, I don't care if your Ford truck broke down (your fault for buying a Ford :P) it sucks your dog ran away, but seriously your so depressing I can see why! and lastly don't cry because your bottle of Jack is empty just get on the lawnmower and drive her to the liquor store (I have seen this before many times) to me this really wasn't music, but most definitely this isn't all country music. Blues is a different story because it makes you feel the emotions, whereas the country I was referring to is more like a musical story of complaint. Other then that anything and everything is fair game, from Metal all the way back to Classical (Mozart, Bach, ect) music like any other true art form can only be truly enjoyed if you have no bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzoboy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I appreciate virtuosity in music regardless of the genre,that is except for rap,hip-hop and heavy metal.I particularly like Indian sitar music like that of Ravi Shankar and classical guitar music from the likes of Elliott Fisk,Julian Bream and John Williams.Elliott Fisk does a CD where he has transposed all of Paganini's 24 Caprices for guitar.It would behoove any guitar player to pick up a copy of that CD and give a listen to fretboard pyrotechnics without effects or studio manipulation of the tracks.The CD is titled Nicolo 24 Caprices Eliot Fisk guitar and is released by The Musical Heritage Society catalogue NO.513555Y.

DanvillRob Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I just can't pass up a straight line! Actually my biggest influence was all my uncles and my dad sitting around playing C&W stuff every weekend. When I got off on my own, I HATED C&W.....but since it was ingrained in my head, I came back to it..... so Hank Williams, Faron Husky, Lefty Frizzell...etc...etc...etc....

ne14t? Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Randy Rhoads Jimmy is my biggest though, I grew up listening to these bands so it was my first step into music and I am glad it was a smart one, I never bothered with the pop bands and stuff that kids, teens and even tweens are so in love with. Just to let you know how much I love Zeppelin I watched there 2-Disc DVD of live performance straight through both yesterday and the day before cause my cable was out!
