What's yer favorite music?

[redkim]

What is your favorite type of music? (Aside from Traditional Latin Hymns at Mass, of course )

 

[mean_owen]

Classic rock all the way, baby. I also like a lot of rock-fusions, like mod-trad Irish rock music, folk-rock, and Gregorian rock.

 

[squirt]

Where’s the R&B and funk choices??? With a little Reggae in the mix ???

Oh, well, I guess I’ll just have to go with classical, then.

 

[redkim]

You’re right squirt…my bad. We only get seven choices, so those are what I did. Perhaps you can start a poll for the stuff I left out?

 

[fraggle]

i like most genres, sub-genres, mini-genres, and “fusions” in music except country-western (except maybe Hank Williams Sr., Dolly Parton, Reba McIntyre, and Shania Twain [though her pop music phase really sucked]), some pop music (boy bands, Britney Spears, etc.), and that neo-nazi punk ****. such are very grating to my ears. i do like southern rock and folk a great deal.

i’m more obsessed over particular bands than genres.

I’m pretty fond of most music (and my dislikes are similar to those of Fraggle). But since I have to choose one genre, “Lilith Fair Junk” is it. Unfortunately no one would go with me to the big festivals a few years ago. The last year Jennifer Knapp joined the line-up, and I had to miss it.

I put classical, but what I really meant was Early Music. Josquin masses, a little Thomas Tallis, and Dowland all the way!

Of course, I am a medievalist.

Runners-up would be Jazz (give me Ella and more Ella) and Celtic music

Jen:

I made my poll multiple choice, so you could’ve put more. However, I expected you to like that Lilith fair junk. You are a heretic after all.

Good Morning Church

I love any kind of good music, except the rap type.

I put country as my choice because that is what I am inclined to listen to most of the time.
Also, after being in the entertainment business for so long, I have really enjoyed most of the country entertainers I have met. They are the ones who have given us the least amount of trouble and treated me and my family with the greatest respect. For me, that counts for a lot.
You didn’t have gospel on there, limit on how many choices.

Good topic! smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_1_125.gif

My favorite is “Oldies” - Beatles, Beach Boys, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Johnny Rivers, Lesley Gore, etc., but that wasn’t listed. :nope:

Bob Segar

…and enough Kiss, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Styx and Queen to make for a good dance night. In fact, I can make a case for most of the hair bands from the late 70s/early 80s…the memories of my “youth”.

Try this site… CelticMelt

Also, ancient church music, rennasiance and medieval. Plus classical music, celtic, folk, and some progressive house.

 

[whatadeecee]

You didn’t list Christian, either. That’s my fave.

if you are a medievalist, you’ll like the music of Mary Timony, which is a fusion of prog rock and all things medieval:

p.s: don’t mind the biography on her website. Mary T. is catholic, but apparently whoever she let write her bio isn’t very approving of the Church.

Hey. Loyola - remember the Bob Segar System? We had them play a dance at Bishop Duffy High in New York when I was a freshman, around 1966 0r 1967.

 

[Wereuber]

The categories you gave don’t really work for me so I’ll just say that I live various types of artsy rock from the 60’s to the present as well as jazz (Coltrane, Monk, Dolphy). I also have a soft spot for 60’s pop and folk rock. I even like Abba.

 

[redkim]

Were:

I had the last category with you in mind.

 

[Wereuber]

But that should be for trendy hipsters. I’m anything but a trendy hipster.

 

[Wereuber]

I mean hell I like the Mama’s and the Papas and the Band? what couold be less trendy thatn that?

 

[Spiri220]

The DeFranco Family?

The Cowsills?
