Kevin Trotter Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 After being unable to bear another minute of the Prefab uhh..Grammy awards I raced to my keyboard shrieking much to my wife's chagrin. I then began to think..Hm.. what kind of music does the SC listen to to relax? Nine Inch Nails? Gladys Knight Pat Metheney or maybee Burl Ives? Or what is Menchise or $ilk humm while blowing sh*t up? Linkin Park or MacArthur Park(Richard Harris circa 1970's) does Nova jam out to Outcast or U2? Antbody think Creed isn't a Stone Temple Pilot oops Soundgarden knock off or maybe their are really some strum and mumble fans who actually like Radiohead and Starsailor. My own personal preferences run from Jazz fusion (Return to Forever , Weather Report) to some of the cool brit neo soul bands (Brand New Heavies , Incognito) and I have recently wore the grooves out of a cd by a group called Zero 7 (Destiny) Darius Rucker of Blowfish infamy released a real solid solo effort that because it's well not Hootie did nothing but is worth a listen. Sadly as a black guy I'm not supoosed to like Rock but dammit I do! Particularly dinosour rock as my 31 y/o wife refers to it. Eagles , Jackson Brown , Steely Dan (no not that piece of excrement from last year) Fleetwood Mac but not after Rumours . I also LIKE Linkin Park but am confused how they are up for best new artist. Most rap sucks a** but Outcast , is doing some next level Sh*t and Nelly 's going to be around. Speaking of Nelly (Furtado) does anyone have a sweeter voice or sweeter a**? Please post your thoughts and what you listen to as long as it doesn't suck (like ..Dude the Backstreet Boys are awesome) Grayfox if you are out there assure me I'm not the only Dino Rocker.. Peace , love and Hair grease.. I'm out.
Vanethian Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 Weather Report rocks!!! I love fusion but i listen also to Synergy, Arkenstone, Richard Bone, Amin Bathia, Peter Bardens, Tim Wheater, Ray Lynch, Rick Wakeman... practically romantic new age, space symphonies and cinematic soundscapes And what to tell about TD and Schulze? I still listen to them... i've got some good old vynils and they play so good you can't imagine. If you think that being a modern composer oblige you to appreciate only digital... well, you are wrong. I still continue to prefer vynils. They've got a warm sound and high dynamics. And sometimes i prefer my Allison One old good speakers to my hitech studio monitor speakers Well, this is probably also because i'm mainly a classical composer than an electronic one... i love Moussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakow. Does "Night on Bald Mountain" tell you anything?
Duncan Idaho Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 Wow, Rick Wakeman, there's a name I haven't seen in a bit. He solo again? I'm a fan of Yes, and Wakeman's early solo stuff as well. Idaho

It's a cool album where Rick (along with Alan Thompson and Tony Fernandez) revisits the music of Yes. It features also an enhanced video track for PC.

Kevin Trotter Posted February 28, 2002 Author Report Posted February 28, 2002 I'll be sure to check out that Wakeman LP. I listened to a little Yes in my day during my Jeff Beck , King Crimson jazz rock period. Haven't delved to deeply in the new age stuff. I am crazy about the Soundtrack for the film "Bladerunner" by Vangellis. Some of the early Jean Luc Ponty stuff has definite new age overtones , but mostly for me that is unexplored territory. As I am an culturally deprived american I am ignorant of classical music. As far as composers go Duke Ellington , Cole Porter and that Gershwin guy are pretty good
Menchise Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 I like U2's work from the '80s (Rattle and Hum, War, Unforgettable Fire). I haven't heard much of their recent stuff (I lost interest after Zooropa). In recent months I've developed an appreciation for punk rock after co-developing a website for a band (Gazoonga Attack). I don't really follow music much though. Whatever's on air is what I listen to. Then there's my collection of game themes on the hard drive when I'm bored.
Guest Grayfox Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 hmmm i converted some music into .wav and placed them in the music folder in BCM. mostly its techno such as XXX or some techno mixed with opera (got this sweet techno beat mixed with o fortuna) something from the new Matrix 2 soundtrack (supposedly), a lil cypress hill, and some straight hardcore, black flag, Rammstein, Napalm Death, SOD, Cannible Corpse death metal nothin like gettin the blood pumpin while trying to take a hostile station
Gordon Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Race Bannon Grayfox if you are out there assure me I'm not the only Dino Rocker.. Well I'm not Grayfox but you are not alone, I currently have about 30 mp3 tracks in my BCM music folder with songs from groups like Yes, Led Zeppelin, ELP, Primus and more. I also enjoy Fleetwood Mac (up to and including Rumours), Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, The Who, of course the Beatles beside other early rock bands. I also enjoy Jazz and some Classical but early rock is what I grew up with. I guess I could also be called a Dino Rocker, but I like it, like it, yes I do!
Cmdr Nova Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Race Bannon IV: does Nova jam out to Outcast or U2?Yea. Um, both. I listen Outkast or U2, depending on what mood I'm in. (I am for real. ) Um, nice speech there. Sadly, I'm not sure exactly what I don't like right now. I'm in a little place where I'm really tolerant of everything, and my interests change from place to place. I've been mostly Rap, Rock (Including Alternative and Rap Metal), and Techno/Dance lately. But I've been known to swing it a bit by listening to some classical/orchestral, and Jazz/New Age. So I'm not so much into debating music and stuff; I like some parts of certain genres and ignore the stuff I don't like, so that's why I really don't not like anything. And I'm in the young generation that hasn't listened to an LP yet. Digital all the way, baby! Oh, and I don't know why, but Tenacious D is pretty high up on my list. Been listening to their music a lot lately. (My cousin had me listen to their CD over Christmas break, and I've been listening since....)
Guest Grayfox Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 dino rocker lol... ya i listen to alot of classical rock too. stones, zep, old rush, king crimson was awesome, Dio (solo and with black sabbath), hendrix, old school ac/dc (with bonn scott), black sabbath with ozzy, solo ozzie, solo david lee roth, van halen WITH david lee roth. i practically have every single song on the "heavy metal" soundtrack memorized... journey, BOC, Nazareth, devo, sammy hagar ya im into old school "dino rock" lol what about Elvis Costello? lmao or doobie bros, or neville bros, or CSNY for you youngins thats Crosby, Stills, Nash AND Young, joe walsh, cream, the list could go on and on of what i listen to [ 02-28-2002, 18:13: Message edited by: Grayfox ]
J.Smith Posted February 28, 2002 Report Posted February 28, 2002 You guys are crazy . But as for me, I have no preferance, if I like the sound of it, I'm gonna listen to it. Plus I make my own sometimes with my b flat TRUMPET

aramike Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 quote:Antbody think Creed isn't a Stone Temple Pilot oops Soundgarden knock off or maybe their are really some strum and mumble fans who actually like Radiohead and Starsailor. Closer to Pearl Jam than anything else. But, I think they're more ... intense than any of the aforementioned bands.
Papi Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 My musical adventure started with Hendrix and it hasn't stopped ever since (I missed his concert here in Finland in 1967. I was 13 then and we were supposed to go to amusement park Linnanmäki near Kulttuuritalo the place the concert took place, with my brother . My brother tried to convince me that we should go to Hendrix concert instead of Linnanmäki, but I said that I will tell our father and mother if he didn't take me to the park. If he only had come again year later ) Later came all great bluesmen, Albert King, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy (I've been lucky enough to see all mentioned above live here in Finland), Howling Wolf and so on. Now my BCM soundtrack includes e.g. Hendrix, Miles Davis, Yes, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Lutoslavski, Varese, Sibelius, Tomita, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Nice, Groundhogs and Spirit to name a few. I just noticed that you started an engine that is hard to stop, so I think I'll just shut up for now.
Duncan Idaho Posted March 1, 2002 Report Posted March 1, 2002 Heheh, I had to avoid listing bands myself for just that reason. Once I start, I don't stop. Idaho

Days of the New are almost exclusively acoustic. Besides, they really went downhill when Travis Meeks decided that he should actually become the entire band.

Guest Grayfox Posted March 2, 2002 Report Posted March 2, 2002 listen to days of the new, then listen to AIC. im tellin ya they sound alike. only diff to me is the lead singer for days of the new has a little bit deeper voice. when i heard them for the first time, i thought AIC was coming out with a new unplugged album... no kidding. but youre right, aramike, i havent heard much of them in a while.

Musically, I just don't see the resemblance. But hey -- we all notice different things, right?

I listen to Linkin Park, but in-BCM I have listened to Incubus, specifically the song stellar. Lots of Techno... lots and lots..... Video games don't affect children. If Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in low-light rooms eating magic pills and listening to repetetive electronic music.
