Nothing mainstream..since i am a musician none of the mass produced slush impresses me...well..ok maybe the talent of Dave Matthew's Band, or the old Blues Traveler.I prefer small jazz or blues/funk combos with the hidden talented musicians who use alot of theory behind their skills not just "head bang over 2 chords for 5 minutes" type of bands.Not knocking heavy metal because i do appreciate any type when it comes down to it.
Posted by Skorpius (Member # 10122) on :
I'll pick up anything under the Global Underground label. The past few cd's I have gotten are Electric Calm Vol.3 and Lostep's album, Because We Can. I do like some older rap, picked up a couple of Wu-Tang's albums. I do like some rock but nothing new. I also like Ken Ishii, Mody, Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Delta Goodrem, Kylie & Dannii Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia, etc...

gogo is a type of music with heavy, HEAVY emphasis on drums. most bands have atleast 2 types of drums on stage (excluding the drum set). it has alot of energy and is best listened to live. they do alot of remakes, too. they'll redo rock songs, r&b, and raps with different beats and change the feel of it. most of it is hype music, but there's are some smooth r&b, too

Ah interesting. Wumpscut is usually the industrial artist most metal heads seem to listen to the most. Don't like or just haven't listened to? He started around same time as VAC and shares a similar(though different) style.

I'm sensing sort of a theme here. It seems that most of the members on wusfeetlinks (with a few expections) are into Metal/Gothic/Industrial music and the latter. Which is totally ok with me

I don't have any of their solo material, but I do have all the old Genesis CDs with Ant and Steve! I listened to a Philip Glass CD once that my wife had brought home as a promo from work. I don't remember the title, but the music was very minimal and repetitive. Not that that was a bad thing! It was unique. I've got a bit of Zappa in my collection. I suppose my favorite stuff is his output from the late 70's, Joe's Garage, and Sheik Yerbouti cheese.
Posted by Sockratease (Member # 13891) on :
Yup...
Most of that list consists of 70's stuffs.
I am surprised anyone recognized Anthony Phillips though!
I did like that short lived "Art Rock" movement in the 70's and early 80's when Yes, Genesis, Starcastle, Pink Floyd, and even Rush were writing Album Side Length Songs that told epic stories.
Tales From Topographic Oceans is Surreal, but it makes sense to me...
Now it has to fit into a music video to be "good."
Posted by ledaemon (Member # 198) on :
A lot of my music collection has what a pal of mine described as "limp wristed 70's art rock."
There's an internet radio station I listen to every once in a while that has a decent "70s Prog Rock" station on it. Try this direct link to it! http://www.live365.com/stations/haroldthebarrel
They actually played lots of Anthony Phillips on it and once I actually heard a 30 minute long Utopia song played in its entirity on it! Makes those yes songs seem short by comparison!

Posted by ozkar (Member # 13264) on :
Has anyone noticed that the term Indie has expanded to included any reasonably decent non-mainstream music now days?
My musical core is built up from Jazz and Blues and Rock through the 60s, but I've been listening increasingly to the various subgenres of the catch all genre Indie lately.
If you like the Beach Boys try a band called Emporium. They have a hauntingly similar vocal style, and their music is very creative.
I also recommend Supergrass and Superczar to those who like Tom Petty
Tommy Emmanuel is HIGHLY recomended for fellow Chet-nuts and Kottke fans.
Fans of Jimmy Smith, Kenny Burrell, Scofield, definitely try out Soulive, Galactic, Lettuce, and Medeski Martin and Wood.
Please let me know if you've discovered any really good, really under appriciated modern music! I'm VERY interested.
Posted by Salvy_Mic (Member # 13384) on :
I'm a classic rock and metal guy for sure: AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest, KISS, Journey, Rush among others
Definitely an old-school hip hop fan too, none of this modern BS: Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Ice Cube, N.W.A.,
I also listen to a lot of oldies, disco, and motown, basically anything you can dance too.
