Rapidmc Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have been into everything from punk to country and am looking for some new music to listen to. These day I am growing tierd of what I used to listen to and am not really into what I hear on the radio. I think it would be interesting to find out what people here listen to. So whatcha got?

Bini Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I grew up with a lot of different kind of music, and can appreciate all of them. I love classical music and opera because of my father's passion for it. I also love the 50's Golden Oldies because of my mum. I have also found a fondness for 80's stuff because of my husband who was a teen in that era. As for me, I like just about everything that is considered "current", and in all kinds of genres from country to hip hop. Some days I don't care to listen to any one artist or band, and prefer to just listen through an entire movie soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipplecutBuddha Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 A quick get-together group called Liquid Tension Experiment has been playing in my place the past few days. They made two good albums worth checking out, and a third that may only appeal to the most intense music geek. Very closely related is my favorite current group Dream Theater. Progressive rock/metal. Longer songs, insanely gifted musicians, and music that keeps revealing itself to you a little at a time after each listen. Think of them as a mash-up of Metallica, Rush, Pink Floyd, and Yes. Odd combo for sure, but I've been into them for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 From the Classic world my favorite is impressionistic era – I like most baroque but not for more than an hour. Growing up my favorite was Henry Mancini. I do like the music of the restoration (Hymns). Paul Cardall is my favorite contemporary LDS composer. I enjoy classical guitar, and new age (Enya) as well as big band. I can handle some oldies rock and roll but not the heavy stuff. I can handle blue grass but not hard core country. Show tunes are fun – stuff like Star Wars, Superman, James Bond, Wicked etc. The Traveler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoshmom Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I love smooth jazz - nothing beats Al Jarreau, Bony James, and Rick Braun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have a lot of genres from a lot of ages in my CD collection. Yes, Yes... I'm still on CDs. Bite me. 4 Non-blondes is the first on the alphabetically ordered CDs that I can see from my chair here (although I'm sure I got 10,000 Maniacs which should have been before 4 Non-blondes - must be misplaced or lost, hmm...). Ziggy Marley is the last. I have stuff from the Baroque era - Vivaldi, Bach, Purcell, Handel. All the way to today - Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, etc. Okay, as my suggestion for you to listen to. I'm staring at my CD Collection... and Jars of Clay sticks out as something I would recommend to LDS.netters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarlJibbs Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Although I still love a good Punk song (especially any good remake of an oldie) I have been steering toward an opposite genre. Regina Spektor Vienna Teng The Avette Brothers - Folksy, but great! Plug any of those into Pandora, and you have an instantly great station. I think of music a little differently than others. I like to think of how I can put it to a Movie, or home video. What something would look like in slow motion, or shots of buildings and people and such... wierd, but that is the way my mind works. I LOVE a good song with stunning video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapidmc Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Speaking of Pandora. I created Kings of Leon station and have been hearing some good stuff. Nothing that is gonna put me to sleep and nothing that makes me feel like I'm being yelled at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windseeker Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Hey Rapidmc,you might want to try some post rock like Moving Moutains. I actually got my son into them who used to be the lead singer in a fairly known local post hardcore band here in SE Florida. He and his friends really like them and I took them all to see them a couple months back. Other bands that come to mind might be Ex Norwegian (indie pop), Vampire Weekend. Metric's new album Synthetica is really good. If you like Coldplay you might want to try The Doves or Elbow. If you want to try some Post Hardcore, I would recommend We Came As Romans, their lyrics are like reading a Steven Covey book..haha..seriously Edited August 14, 2012 by Windseeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably not very well known.This is a very excellent album for relaxing, remembering or pondering with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo2002 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I like a lot of Nasville singers and songwriters, Dave Barnes, Matt Wertz, Ben Rector. I recently fell in love with Ben Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult…so true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I mostly listen to praise and worship music: Hillsong, Christ Tomlin, Michael W. Smith and the WOW praise albums. Some contemporary Christian music is good--especially the slower, more inspirational songs. Keith Green's music is prophetic in his calls to abandon lukewarmness. There is some excellent secular music out there, but I just don't have time to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
