Bob Dylen. Mr Tambourine Man.

[Bruce]

I am having a music mid-life crisis or something. I can\'t find any music I get off on and it is terrible. I grew up in a very musical family. My dad had ancient Spike Jones records and all kinds of cool stuff; I went thru my Jr High years listening to the Beatles. Then on to Hendrix, Zeplin, Cream etc. Got very into European traditional music and became a professional musician myself. Went to Berklee College of Music and studied Jazz. Got into a lot of fusion players: John Mcglaughlin, Jean Luc Ponty etc. After I got married and had kids we started listening to New Age (Andreas Vollenveider, Kitaro...). Now my oldest boy likes Country Western and that is on the radio in the car a lot. My wife loves U2, which I can\'t connect with.

I\'m in crisis. I need music. Even something mellow I could listen to while answering email.

Bruce

[seadove]

Bruce , I have different music for different occasions.
When I chase a girl I prefer Simon & Garfunkel.
When I\'m depressed I listen to Leonard Cohen.
Etc

[CptKipling]

Wow!

I was begging to think there weren\'t any real music lovers here, obviously wrong.

I can\'t claim to relate (or even to have heard of) a lot of those.

Personally:

-Radiohead
-Supergrass
-FooFighters (Everlong... please tell me you know it!)
-Greenday (Basket case)
-Feeder
-Ash (Girl From Mars)
-Incubus (current fav., cant get enough of the \"Make Yourself\" album!)
-Oasis

And some curious cross genre ones:
-Robbie Williams
-Erm...ok so that dried up.


APPEAL: FIND BRUCE SOME MUSIC!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

If he doesn\'t like Radiohead, I don\'t know what to do with him.

[bivonic]

1. The Doors
2. Sublime
3. Led Zep
4. Phish
5. AC/DC

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Creed, turned up really loud.

Emmylou Harris, especially \"Red Dirt Girl\"


Dire Straights

[bundyburger]

I read what everyone else likes and say to myself \"Oh Yeah! Them too!\"

mmmm.... Supergrass

There are sooooo many good artists around. Back years ago my absolute favourite was Dire Straits for YEARS. But now I just like so much variety. Went through a stage like what Bruce describes too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] But a bit of a rest from listening to anything helped heaps. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Elvis , The Beatles, the blues, classic, just about everything \'cept country music (though not all c.m.) and some Jazz.

Emmylou Harris???? Phish??? Gunna have to check them out!

[bivonic]

Definitely give Phish a go, they are an acquired taste. It\'s best to see them live if you can, they are ok with studio recordings but they really shine when you see their on stage chemistry - they are great at jamming out & being creative.

[seadove]

Oh I forgot :

Santana - Black magic woman
Elton John - especially the Lion King album, candle in the rain.
Joe Cocker - Little help with my friends
Tom Johns - Sex Bomb
The Cream - The album Whipped cream
Frank Sinatra - with his daughter
Emmenem (Did I spell that right?)

By the way I sing too, in the showers, my neighbours either shout \"louder, louder\" OR \"shut up\", depends on the song.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I lost my virginity to that Santana album. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Those are great picks, Seadove. I love the Dixie Chicks. But I\'ve got a country streak a mile wide. Everybody in my family plays guitar, at least all the men do, and we can all sing, both sides of the family. Country music\'s good for singing, always has a strong melody line and usually has good simple harmonies. I saw a thing on tv with the Dixie Chicks in concert and I\'d have given my right arm to be there. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I love bluegrass and I love some plain old cryin\' in your beer country, too, and the cross-over stuff, a lot of it. But I like any music that\'s done well. I\'ll crank up hip-hop too when I hit something good on the radio. I love old Motown.

[seadove]

How about Elvis?

I always crack up when I hear \"Always on my Mind\".

What a waste of talent, to go at the age of 40ish.
[img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Nothing more objectively beautiful than black leather jacket Elvis, but even though he\'s stunning to my eyes, he doesn\'t flip my switch and his music doesn\'t move me. Weird, huh?

I love Leonard Cohen\'s lyrics, but I\'d pay money NOT to hear him sing. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Always On My Mind - isn\'t that a Willie Nelson song? Now, him, I like. You like Willie Nelson?

[seadove]

<<<Always On My Mind - isn\'t that a Willie Nelson song? Now, him, I like. You like Willie Nelson? >>>

No, This song was actually written by Elvis himself and he was insinuating his wife, the way he treated her wrong etc.Apparently success reached his head too early in his career, and self distruction was emmenant.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Then The Beatles saved the world.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img][img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img][img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

I listen to Leonard Cohen when I\'m dipressed only.It helps me kick the blues away.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

[**DONOTDELETE**]

The Fab Four. Waxing nostalgic, but that\'s one experience I wish the kids could have, what it felt like when the Beatles hit the scene. Our age group got the Beatles, first man on the moon, so much good stuff, so many incredible firsts. What\'s your favorite Beatles song?

[seadove]

<<<What\'s your favorite Beatles song? >>>

The Album- Sgt.Peppers

The song - A day in the life. (At least I know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall) [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

[DrSmellThis]

I too am a musician. I listen mostly to trad. irish music and classical, though I love the classic jazz and blues artists. I love older pop 60\'s-70\'s, but have heard little in pop music with a few exception since then. Police, Pearl Jam, Chilis, Kravitz, Dead Can Dance and others have been very good, but you can\'t just turn on a radio anymore.

[seadove]

Ah Police
I forgot about them.

How fabulous, especially the performance of Sting.
[img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Now, Sting can take me all the way. Not just \"move,\" \"transport\" more like it, i.e., Soul Cages \"Why Should I Cry For You,\" (I could listen to that one song for days on end) \"Shape of My Heart\" (I forget which album), of course \"Fields of Gold.\" I like Kravitz and Pearl Jam too. I like Nirvana. Why does the radio suck out loud these days? I can hardly stand it. Spend more time flipping around to avoid commercials and gab ... what happened to the solid FM stations?Eva Cassidy, Joan Osbourne, Shawn Colvin, Bonny Rait, Patti Griffin, Norah Jones DrST, any specific traditional Irish (band names), and which classical? Do you like that girl, what\'s her name, something like Laura McKenna?
