h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Im curious to find out what different musical tastes my fellow guiders have, any one care to enlighten me of their tastes?

Hello himura

I think you'll find a wide selection of tastes here
At any given time you can find my 5 most recent musical aquisitions, and my page of Top Tens (A1102294) has some of my favourites on it.

Mostly I listen to adult contemporary - Dave Matthews, Maroon 5, Norah Jones...
But I like standards, too - Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Louis Prima...
Of course, I grew up on 80s hair bands, can't give up on them now - Def Leppard, Poison, Slaughter...
And the *real* stuff - Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Journey...
The old stuff - the Beatles, Van Morrison...
Even some of the new stuff - Staind, Hoobastank, Jet...

There's always something music-related going on somewhere on site, you might find this conversation interesting - for an idea of what your fellow Researchers are *really* listening to:
F19585?thread=101117&latest=1 (reading the backlog is *not* necessary).

EXCELLENT PDANTÉ sorry caps i was wondering when id find out ppls tastes lol

I think I'm in the minority as I likr Hard House Tecno NRG mainley but I like Nearley everything except country n western pop.

personally cant abide by techno NRG or hard house, but hey every one has their own tastes and i jus wanna find out what they are (i know one thing buddy id rather listen to techno then listen to some of the terrible pop churned out, and as a confession i do own moby 'play' which is brilliant thanks for sharin KEEP EM COMIN

There has to be an old Guy in the ring I guess, but you did invite me.

Don't have favourite groups or composers, I like what I like whoever does it.

I have a Vintage Malerne Tenor Sax which I try to play, it sounds great, I sound crap. I like soulful Sax music played with feeling (Kenny G. is even more crappy than me, he tries to play it like a Piano). Fav. Sax pieces are the backing on 'Will you' by Hazel O'Connor and the wound up sax on Baker Street (Rafferty).

Can't do with a lot of modern stuff, OK, I don't understand it I know but if it's what the young people want, who am I ?.

Dont mind a bit of noise - like Van Halen, some Queen, Dire Straits, Pulp, even Blackbox, mostly late 70's to 2000 stuff.

At my age I should be into Musicals, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, etc,etc but sorry, no thanks.

Thought the Beatles were a complete waste of space.

Elvis ballads ok, rock - no thanks.

Classics & Opera, yes if it has a 'presence', some twerp playing up and down a Piano may be musically very clever but it's about as entertaining as watching weeds grow.

Ok, I'll get back in my cupboard now, thanks for your time.

Quack.

woo hoo now i have your essense

Hi Triquack.i would just say that at 47 i'm hardly a spring chicken

quit puttin yourself down musics universal it aint an agist man

Hey pdante`, Hope I didn't offend you, what did I say?.

Don't care for modern - don't understand it, that's fair isn't it, no critism.

Only thing I slagged off was Kenny G, and he deserves it.

Okay, in no particular order:

Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple
Muse
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Final Autumn
The Lightning Seeds
Ian Dury
The Blues Brothers
Franz Ferdinand
Reef
Free
The Darkness
Talking Heads
Spinal Tap

Hi TRIQUACK.No offence taken at all.If it gets you through the night etc; it must be all right .just personal taste isn't it all really and life's too short to have arguments.(hope you haven't been feeling terrible for 5 weeks i've been offline
