| You can say that again. It either has to be the sort of music I can play very loud or something I can sing along to. I sing all the time, which is a bit of a shame cos I can't carry a note. lol

Well mostly I listen to Rock, one type of music I HATE is dance I just don't see the appeal of listening to what sounds like a mouse on helium  but thats just my opinion. Some of my favourite bands are the Foo Fighters, The Chillis, The Killers, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns n Roses, Feeder, Fallout boy, Oasis, Sum 41, Queen and Greenday.

I must admit my fave album at the moment is Snow Patrols Eyes Open. I am not so impressed by Evanescence The Doors Open as I was with their earlier albums.
At my age I go right back to the fifties so I have many areas of music that have stuck with me but my main love is heavy Rock from Led Zep onwards. Later groups are Killers, Green Day, Hard Fi, Muse, Doves, Cold Play, Kasabian, Razorlight, Creed, Kaiser Chiefs, Linkin Park, Nickleback, Keane.
I was brought up on Rock and my main hero was way back in the early 60's when Duane Eddy was my biggest influence (I even named my son after him). This obviously progressed through the Liverpool influence, not so much in the flower power era but when the likes of Stranglers, Soft Cell, ELO, Roxy Music & Thin Lizzy hit the scenes things got interesting. Led Zepplin & Yes were a major influences also and I love Yes' Close to the edge allbum and Jon Anderson's solo album, Olias of Sunnhilow was superb.
I can add the likes of Enya, Clannad, Enigma to the list
I could go on but one other album that has captured my imagination is one I downloaded the other week just out of sheer curiosity because it was being heavily advertised on the TV. it was entitled Encore by Globus. It won't everyone's cup of tea but I think it is brilliant, especially the first track.

Glenn Miller, The Dorseys, Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and then modern things like Billy Fury and Roxy Music! I also love doo wop and Eddie Cochran.
Actually, I'm so outdated with music, I rely on my sister to supply me with new music! The Fratellis, Yeti, Larrikin Love, The Young Knives to name a few.

Loud? Yep! I actually listen to everything going, but I do a lot of rallies (of the motorbike variety) and you can always count on some noisy bands. Some are dreadful, many are very good indeed though there is a heavy reliance of rock covers. Luckily I like AC/DC cos no rally is complete without at least one tribute band and a dozen playings of "Whole lotta Rosie" at every point when they have nothing else to stick on the sound system, Lol. But at home or in the car I'm more likely to listen to something mellow. |

Am I the only folk fan on the site? I grew up wanting to be Sandy Denny (anyone else old enough to remember?).
Went to see Seth Lakeman a couple of days ago - excellent. |

| Possibly the most beautiful singing voice in the world, Who Knows Where the Time Goes gets me every time.
Just checking what's on my MP3 at the moment:
Blue Oyster Cult, Gomez, RHCP, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Dub War, Skunk Anansie, Pogues, Wildhearts, Therapy?, Thrills (Not sure they're that good), Faith No More, Guns n'Roses, Alice in Chains, White Zombie.
Then again, there's also Massive Attack, Nightmares on Wax, Morcheeba. Or how about the Specials, Bad Manners, the Selecter, Madness. Or, John Lee Hooker, Leadbelly, Robert Cray, Nina Simone, Fleetwood Mac if you'd like.
Basically I grew up on my parents 60's & blues/blues rock collection before becoming a goth, DJing a heavy metal nightclub-then I heard Massive Attack's first album which opened my eyes to a whole new world of music and I haven't looked back.
Never really thought that heavy rock & natural history mixed as much as it seems to from previous posts...  |

I've just downloaded The Fratellis album, May, it's great!
Anyone here heard of Buckcherry? I love 'em. Crazy Bitch is my anthem. lmao Erm, warning, some people may find it offensive ... www.myspace.com/buckcherry
It seems that I have a lot of musical taste in common with John too. Quote "Later groups are Killers, Green Day, Hard Fi, Muse, Doves, Cold Play, Kasabian, Razorlight, Creed, Kaiser Chiefs, Linkin Park, Nickleback, Keane." I like all of them, except for Greenday that I have gone right off recently.
I am a bit of a skank- Rabbit and do enjoy a bit of two-tone and ska on the quiet - I'm loving the ska revival at the moment.
Other stuff that I have downloaded recently is Lily Allen ("Alfie" is so funny), The Zutons, The Kooks, The Feeling, Ray Lamontagne and Paolo Nutini.

My sister did me two CD's of new music, one was of brand new bands and the other bands from the past two years. She's a massive fan of The Libertines/Dirty Pretty Things et cetera, so I got to hear all the various spinoffs.
