Music

[Kris Verdeyen]

1. Blues, because of the pure emotion, the improvisation, and
the musical craftsmanship.

Rock and roll for the attitude and power (mainly classic rock)

Country (classic and Texan) for the sound, the laid-back feel,
for steel guitars and harmonicas, for musicians who don't
take themselves seriously and have a good time

Funk, Techno, other - Artists and songs can strike my fancy at any time without my prior knowledge or participation: see Nikka
Costa and Eagle Eye Cherry

2. Cake, BB King, Robert Earl Keen, Eric Clapton (old stuff), Monte
Montgomery, John Lee Hooker, Hank III (that's a new one),
Rolling Stones, Guess Who, Pink Floyd, Green Day, Squirrel
Nut Zippers, Sinatra, Garth Brooks, Propellerheads

3. I can barely play harmonica, but BB King's guitar is my favorite
instrument.

4. I have little patience for super-poppy stuff. Boy and girl bands
and the like, but there are exceptions to every rule.

5. For some reason, I like Van Halen less than any other white
American male between the ages of 18 and 35. That isn't to
say that I won't sing along if their song comes on the radio,
I'll just be wishing it was something else.

Here's the deal on Country music, for those of you that are looking for a scoop: I started listening to Country in Jr. HS, but after 4 years, I discovered that it all sounded the same. I couldn't tell one band from another, save for a few exceptions. So I quit listening to country and broadened my musical horizons.

After college, though, I moved to Texas - and lo and behold -found a completely new style of country music that I'd never heard before! If anyone likes country, but is tired of the same old thing, or doesn't like country, but has an open mind, seek ye out Robert Earl Keen. You'll be glad you did.

ok, ok, ok...

I'm sorry about being steriotypical! I was just in a bad mood. [it's the end of the marking period and I am seriously stressed out!]

I DO happen to see a difference between hip-hop and rap. It might not be the generaly accepted definitions but oh well.

I see rap -in my general opinion- as songs that contain lyrics full of swear words and contain degrading views towards women. Hip-hop -in my general opinion- does not.

------
I listen to lots of music, thank you. And I happen to believe that I don't pre-judge on music without listening to it first. For example, I've never heard of Herbalizer. So I can not comment on that band. But have you heard of Antigone Riseing, or Fear Of Zero?
------

In this post, as in many music stores, musical groups are classified into rough overall groups; such as Country, Classical, Rock, or Rap. I happen to dislike many rap bands due to their degrading views towards women, and the tendancy to swear a lot; thus my prior response.

As for country, the basic vibes and lyrics of most country songs just do not appeal to me.

I never said that I disliked all rap or country. The original post asked which was your least fav. music type. I happen to like Kirk Franklin, Will Smith, and a few other rappers. But they do not overrule my love of the other types of music.

ps- my friend has been reading this over my shoulder. she says I need to type this in...

-"Dissagreements make life more fun"- E.N.

I would like too add that boy bands, arent even bands. Wither are rap singers, there not bands!!!!

Why cant people say that groups or singers. They are not bands.

Especially Boy "Bands" who do not deserve the priviledge of getting that title.

3. Your favorite instrament.
4. Your least favorite music genra.
5. Your least favorite band.


1. Classic Rock/Rock
2. Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Doors
3. The ones that sound good
4. Rap, and Boy Bands(or Groups) or Pop or Opera for that matter
5. i don't know, i turn it off if i don't like it, i don't stick around to find out.

basically, if it has lyrical value, sounds good, and isn't overly obnoxious, or it isn't a new boy band, i'll listen to it. and... nobody get defensive, it's my opinion.

Shouldn't Pop no longer be called pop? it's not "Pop"ular like it used to be.

Insanity is relative.

In Days of Old when knights were bold, and toilets weren't invented, you left your load upon the road and went along contented.

1. My Favorite Music Genre:

Old School R & B
Modern R& B has no soul. It seems to be more important how well you dance than how well you sing.
I listen to just about anything. I have over 1000 tapes from Techno to Rock to Pop to Alternative. Everthing but country the closest I come to that is old Eagles.

2 Favorite Artist


Stevie Wonder, Living Color, Everything But the Girl (before they tried to become New Order), Shakatak(british pop/jazz band) ,Genesis.


3 Favorite Instrement


I've always had a soft spot for the bass guitar. I can't play it but I like it.


4 Least Favorite Music Genre:


Country


5 Least Favorite Artist


Insane Clown Posse,
Every time they come on the radio I nearly crash my car trying to change the station. They are simply repugnant!
Def Tones(more like Tone Deaf) is a close second.

[SkitzoSmurf]

2. Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Slipknot, Distrubed, Weezer, Sytem Of A Down, Cold, Godsmack, and ICP, just to disagree with the person above
3. Guitar
4.POP
5.Backstreet Boys
