Let's expand our musical horizons.

I'd rather listen to the Darlings from "The Andy Griffith Show". :smile:

Ever listen to Bela Fleck? Now that guy can play a banjo.

 

Feldon, now you're talking my language!! I wondered if there were any other bluegrass fans out there.

You are right, the Darlings are (were?) awesome.

I don't believe I know Bela Fleck. Who is he?

 

1. Aikawa Nanase -Cosmic love, Heat of the night
2. Korn -Got the life
3. Creed -What's this life for
4. Nirvana -smells like teen spirit
5. Sponge -plowed
6. Morning Musume -Love Machine
7. Manowar -Truimph of steel
8. Diblo II soundtrack
9. Vangelis -oceanic
10. Garbage -push it
11. Fear Factory -Digimortal
12. Demons & Wizards -Fiddler on the green
13. Tristitia -Crucidiction
14. Metallica - And Justice for All
15. Storm -Storm
16. A bunch of anime songs that are of no interst to you guys :razz:

 

Anything by TOOL, The doors, Led Zepplin or pink floyd. Kyuss and Failure are also great bands. If i see anyone suggestiong crappy boy bands i will personally come over there and BITCH SMACK you, because you deserve it.

 

Oh yeah, that reminds me of a few more:

• Spice Girls: they're gone, bt greatness like that cannot be forgotten.
• Back Street Boys: you can't beat a shaved chest and a nipple ring, I say, and the excellent music is just a bonus.
• N-Sync: Justin's the cutest, but I'd really settle for any of them. I wish I could fit another of their posters on my wall, but it's full.
• I used to think Britney was good until recently, when they showed footage of her fully clothed and she lost all credibility in my eyes.

 

What about Tiffany?! Her remake of "I Think We're Alone Now" rocked. Waaay better than Debbie Gibson, fer shure. Awesome.
And you're right, Justin is the cutest. I love my N-Sync bedspread. There's nothing like waking up under all those boys.


retard, I don't know if you'd like Bela
Fleck or not. He's a helluva player, but it's not Bluegrass. He's kind of the Van Halen of the banjo.

 

Nuttin' beats 5ive, 98 Degrees...ARRRGH, what am I saying?

Harmonising bands (especially boy ones) are the tool of the Devil!

 

With all the sheep references I'd have thought someone here listened to Nine Inch Richards

 

one album should be enough for now

Dexys Midnight Runners's with Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
its simply a great little album, get it, its cheap nowdays.

 

my favorites in no particular order

~ pink floyd - wish you were here - live version, the song i will probably have played at my funeral

~ metallica - welcome home (sanitarium), followed closely by everything they did before the black album

~ alien ant farm - smooth criminal, looooooooove the bass

~ it's not easy being green/the rainbow connection - kermit the frog, the only two songs that have ever made me cry

 

First of all..nugget of joy.... I LOVE your musical taste!.

For all you classical lovers out there ( for i know i a m one as well)- If its russian its good! Dont believe me? RAchmoninoff..Stravinsky..Tsychovsky..Shostakovich..PRokiviev (sp on all of thesse)...Mussorgsky...(tell me im wrong!)

As for you brits out there..im dissapointed none of you know who yes is! YOu are the home of progressive rock!!! remember the forefaters!!! KIng Crimsone..Elp...(who covered pictures at an exibition by Mussorgsky i might add)....well... at least you rememebred RAdiohead (possibly the best new band)..well..them or TOOL.

 

Some minor quibbles:

- It was our Dads and Mums (Mamas and Papas, to you :wink: ) who were into prog rock. I can't help feeling the irony of harking back to a band in a genre labelled 'progressive' over thirty years ago.

- I know who Yes were, but that don't mean they get a place in my list of favourite music. No way I'd disparage 'em, but music for me is about energy, and often associated strongly with significant points of my life. The only one Yes would qualify for is my birth

- You had a typo on four farters, and I don't know who the other 3 were :grin:

 

Re: Let's expand our musical horizons

I forgot about bluegrass -- I listened to the soundrack from "O Brother, Where Art Thou" constanly for months, and got the live album recently.

 

That's awesome, Nugget. I'm just starting to get into bluegrass because of that very same movie.

Can anyone recommend some good bluegrass to a newcomer?

 

Check out retard's earlier post in this thread. I would add Allison Krauss, though it's kind of pop/bluegrass. :wavey:

 

some bluegrass people to check out

a father
Bill Monroe : Country Music Hall of Fame

2 brothers
The Stanley Brothers: Complete Columbia Recordings

other intresting are
The Dillards : There Is a Time (1963-70)
Boone Creek : One Way Track
The Country Gazzette : Hello Operator...This Is Country Gazzette
The Country Gentlemen : Sugar Hill Collection

i agree on Alison Krauss, good pick.

Ooh yeah, Allison Krauss. I'm only familiar with a few of her tunes (so far), mostly the ones off the "O Brother" soundtrack. I agree, she has the voice of an angel. So clear and bell-like.

Anyway, thanks for the bluegrass picks. I'll be checking these out as soon as I get my file-sharing proggy up and running.

 

Bluegrass is actually named after Bill Monroe's backing band, the Blue Grass Boys. thus he is the father

never really gotten the hots for bluegrass, and the bluegrass people are very convservative *s* you should hear Progressive Bluegrass or Contemporary Bluegrass, both are seen with the evil eye by the people who love traditional bluegrass, but the funky thing is that its allmost the same thing, just some pop, jazz added to the tunes.

What exactly is bluegrass music? I've never heard of it, and I've never heard of any of the people you've mentioned - am I not old enough (30+) to understand what you mean, or do I not just get into enough old stuff?

 

Banjo, fiddle, stand-up bass, and guitar played at a fast tempo in Major chords. Ever heard the theme to "The Beverly Hillbillies"? Kinda like that.
