I always enjoy this topic and the varied answersm it brings.
For some reason I was in a country mode today, Emmylou, Robert Earl Keen, and my newest fav Kelly Willis, man what a great country voice she has Posted by Kristie Byrnes (Member # 3510) on :
Pretty much it's gotta rock! And it's all new stuff, alternative. I burn CD's with a mix of all the songs from the bands I like and that's what i listen to and take with me on jobs. Gets me in the "production" mode!

Hey George!
We bought ourselves a 5 disc changer that plays MP3's. We start at 7:00 AM every day and when we leave at 4-5 PM, the same CD is still playing. It is like listening to the radio without stupid DJ's. Imagine a station playing songs where you like every single one. It is awesome.
We have have 2 country CDs that have close to 400 songs between the two of them. A wild eclectic mix of old to new. Same goes for the 4 rock CDs we have. Put it on shuffle and you never know what you are going to get. Yup, everyday is a whole new ballgame.
I am playing "Thunderstruck" right now in your honor....

I dug through some old tapes and put in Weird Al Yankovitz's FOOD ALBUM! forgot those songs were so funny.
Then I dug around and found an old Best of Jerry Reed tape, including theme to Smokey and the Bandit, When you're hot you're hot, Amos Moses, She got the Gold mine...I got the shaft.
Think I'll dig around for some more old tapes tomorrow. Brings back happier memories than the stuff we have to listen to to on todays radio stations.

Lately it's a compilation of my fav songs from Zeppelin I through Houses of The Holy. Then Phish Rift, Black Crowes Greatest Hits, then a Phish/Dead comp CD. Drives my boss nuts!! SHe's a Celine person.
PS Bruce- how do you get 400 songs on one CD? I downloaded an MP3 from a website to try a new program and the song was over 5MB. I already have the song as a Windows CDA file at around 2-1/4MB. Is it a setting thing? This MP3 thing is still new to me as I have no player for it, but I may soon...

No music here today. Have been on the phone most of the morning, and also doing paperwork and proposals, ... needing to concentrate.
However, the last cd I listened to reminded me of how much I absolutely adore this artist...
Jackson Browne - Running on Empty.
I also had Santana and an ol' Sade cd going that day ... Smooth.

The background sound in the shop lately has been CNN. Waiting for the announcement of this foolish war.
I ran out and got Norah Jones and The Dixie Chicks' Home after the Grammys. Love Norah. The Chicks were great, but that voice can grate on you after a while.

Put a satellite dish on the shop just for music. Got 40 channels of ad & dj free music plus the top 30 stations in the country to choose from..
Mostly listening Oz or goldrock, with occasional forays into blues when I can get away with it, six people working here and not everyone has the same taste in music.

How are the radio stations in your area Joe? We have a pretty varied assortment coming out of New Orleans However, it seems that they just play the same 20 songs over and over. Music is too important to the flow of art to listen to dire straits 53 times before lunch. Posted by Roy Somers (Member # 403) on :
I like to relax with intellectually stimulating bands like Sepultura (love the way “Beneath the Remains ends) that bands guitars are awesome. Also Pantera, Megadeth, Mettalica, NIN, Primus. All the way to Willie Nelson and Tobie Keith and most everyone in between. I too have over 600 songs played randomly. You never get tired of them because you never know what is next. Oh well got to go get some “Beer for my Horses” but I’ll leave you with a snippet from Sepultura, a band I’m sure most of you have never heard. (and probably don’t want to) It kind of relates to that war thing.
We gamble with life fighting tribes after tribes Colors and races misplaced in the spaces We're falling, we're crawling, we're crying, denying
Heavy rain shaking ground, no roots will be found Hate from my mother, the limits of mankind We're lying, we're dying, destroying
The earth is rotting, the earth is rotting Rot old old earth The earth is growing, it keeps on growing Rot old old earth
Believing in gods and spirits that can save us Shout to the skies and disturbing the peace We're rioting, we're shouting, we're killing, denying
Involved in our minds but not by our own actions Consume all the wealth, there's no hope for redemption We're burning, we're cutting, destroying
Can you feel? Can you feel it leave!

I love music and have a heck of a collection but I'm just finding it hard to listen to musicians and actors who compare our president to Hitler and call our soldiers baby killers. Sure, they have a right to their ideas but I have a right to disagree. And I vote with my time & my wallet.
It's a shame too 'cause I really like some of their music and films.

Touche Myra!
BTW, anyone listening to music via the net. I've been using MusicMatch.
Its kinda nice to listen to my favorite genre. Somedays I feel like Big Band music and other days its all 80's all day.
Posted by Bob Rochon (Member # 30) on :
I dont listen to the radio too much anymore, mostly christian rock and modern christian music, the music is the same if not better with a positive message.
If I am going to get subliminal messages, I'd rather they be positive rather than the crap on the radio today. It's so amazing how degrading most modern music really is?
Posted by Scott Pagan (Member # 2507) on :
Glenn, I used to enjoy internet radio from Radio Free Virgin untill last Fall when they went to a pay to listen format. Their GameGoth channel plays lots of music I later went out and bought (gasp!). Sure lots of stuff is out there for "free" on P2P networks, but it's a lot of guesswork with shabby files and if I plan to listen over and over I'd rather have a good copy and rip my own mp3s. Maybe post some of the links to internet radio that's still playing, since most that I had tuned into have stopped after the Music bill that passed last Fall. Also what mp3 rip program do others here use?

Posted by Peter Manzolillo (Member # 1062) on :
"Progressive" rock made a comeback in the 90's, and it's been completely "under the radar." If you liked Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Renaissance, Jethro Tull, etc., there are bands out now doing stuff every bit as good, if not better.
Here are some of the new heavyweights that I enjoy:
The Flower Kings (from Sweden, sort of the Yes of the 90's, very positive messages and vibes)
Transatlantic (a prog "supergroup" with members from 4 different bands, made two albums)
Gerard (from Japan, an aggressive ELP/UK type of trio, mostly instrumental)
Echolyn (snappy low-fi sound with occasional Gentle Giant-like harmonies; mature songs about life and Americana)
Niacin (rock/jazz/funk/fusion instrumental trio with monster chops - features Hammond B3 organ player, and Billy Sheehan on bass - latest CD, "Time Crunch" is their best by far)
There are others who could be on this list, but their great instrumental playing is cancelled out by negative, depressing, sick or gruesome lyrics and themes. I concur with Bob Rochon in that I don't want to fill my head with stuff like this.
