Other bands/artists you enjoy

[MissLadyLoki]

We do all enjoy the Mac here quite a bit and I'm sorry if this thread already exists (I'm a newbie :sorry:) , but what are some other bands, artists, and maybe even genres you enjoy?

I'm generally one fro rock and metal, but I love pretty much any genre, save for country (God, I can't stand that stuff, but maybe it's cause I'm from Nuyawk lol).

As for bands, my favorite rock bands are Led Zeppelin (also my all-time favorite band, but FM is still very high in my books), Van Halen, Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses, Eagles (primarily their early stuff), Queen, Pink Floyd, Beatles, The Who, AC/DC, etc.

As for metal (I still think it's funny how I, the American Eagle-wearing college student enjoys such heavy stuff lol, but I use it primarily for when I'm running at this trail by me called the ecology center), the bands include Iron Maiden, Metallica (their early stuff), Alice in Chains, Slayer, Machine Head (I can't get enough of them these days), Black Sabbath, Sepultura, Mastodon, etc.

As with all, I'm probably forgetting many bands, so bear with me when it comes down to edits lol.

Bob Dylan
Bonnie Tyler

:nod:

[louielouie2000]

I enjoy all sorts of music and have tons of albums... but the only other artist/band I'm really completely nuts about is Joseph Arthur. Been following him for about 10 years now. Don't post on any message boards about him or anything, tho.

[gypsy4life]

Just this weekend, discovered Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. She's like old-time Joplin-rock...I like her

That song is SUPER! I wish they'd do a new album. I read that sometime this year, Daryl is going to put out a solo album. I'd still rather they record together.

Lol. I actually dunno Chess, but this September, I'm gonna be seeing Avenue Q at this local playhouse-thingy. Are there any other good songs in it aside from The Internet is For Porn?

[bluefox4000]

Oh god yes. Let's see.......Purpose......fine line, My girlfriend who lives in canada, The whole thing is great, and so funny....you'll love it.

Mick

[MissLadyLoki]

I think I will and I can't wait to see it. If my persuade my parents to lemme see Roger Waters do The Wall in it's entirety, my fall will be perfection!

[Dodfather]

My favourite showtune/musical number of all time is All That Jazz from Chicago. It's fantastic! The show is superb but unfortunately the film was flawed - but Catherine Zeta Jones really deserved her Oscar! She's the best thing in it and really, really does it well.

[LukeA]

Lol. I actually dunno Chess, but this September, I'm gonna be seeing Avenue Q at this local playhouse-thingy. Are there any other good songs in it aside from The Internet is For Porn?

Just about every song is great! You'll enjoy it.

(full disclosure- my former company is one of the producers of the show, and I oversaw our involvement in its sit-down at the Wynn/Las Vegas a few years back.. but, its an awesome show, really!)

Since you friended me on FB, I saw that you once lived in Holbrook, Long Island (funny thing is I'm a few towns away in Farmingville, and I knew my fair share of people from Holbrook back when I was in East), but since you're from LI, I'll be seeing it over at Bellport (hey, it's cheaper than B-way and probably just as good). Are the shows there any good?

[estranged4life]

holy shiz i'm jealous! Have fun for me! LOL:blob2::laugh:

[Macfanforever]

I like mostly oldies of any kind of music genders.Country,Pop ,Rock.I'm not into any of this new music.like some of these artists mention on this post does not ring a bell to me.btw has anyone get a chance to see the ABBA play?

I listen to a oldies station at work,which they go up to the 1980's which I draw the line around the late 1980's when the rap crap got started to get mixed into the mainstream pop tunes.,also todays country tunes today sound like lightrock music,Thats why Stevie/FM would have no problem to cross over.

[Zombie]

Hmm. I enjoy a lot of stuff.

At or near the same level of omg!love I have for the Mac (though usually not for the same reasons):

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Tori Amos
Leonard Cohen
Type O Negative
The Sisters of Mercy
Fear Factory
Acid Bath
Strapping Young Lad

Other stuff in the "most played" list on Winamp, in no particular order and chosen at random:

:wumpscut:
My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult
Einsturzende Neubauten

I just realized I could probably keep going forever with this, so I'ma stop. I LOVE music. I love classic rock, most genres of metal, goth, darkwave, industrial, classical, 80s pop, old school country, etc. I'll listen to anything people want to play for me, but I generally avoid rap, hip hop, top 40 junk, new country stuff, emo bands, and bands like Disturbed.

Looking at the list with the different band names, though, makes me look vaguely schizophrenic. :laugh:

[jaycee]

I'll shorten this list to artists I would buy most/all of the albums of (at least if I had the money), 3+CD compilations, or honourable mentions:

Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music
The Moody Blues
ELO
Dire Straits
Sting & The Police
Pink Floyd
The Alan Parsons Project
John Lennon & The Beatles
Don McLean
Tracy Chapman
Phil Collins & Genesis
Lou Reed & The Velvet Underground (a recent discovery)
The Doors (I bought all their studio albums for my Dad actually, as he likes them more than I)
Cat Stevens (I recently spent $32 each on Deluxe versions of Tea For The Tillerman and Teaser And The Firecat! :eek:)

It would be a fair bet that I'll later think of artists that I wish I didn't forget to put here...

[LukeA]

Are the shows there any good?

Yes! I lived in Holbrook for ten years. ( have some questions/curiosities/will be messaging you via FB)

I've heard about Gateway Playhouse in Bellport for quite a while now (I personally saw something there about 20 years ago as well)- I think it will be a good experience.. especially for something like Avenue Q, which is rather light in the scenery requirement. As long as the actors are competent, and they have legit puppets (especially the Bad Idea Bears), it should be a seamless transition!

[Angel69]

I'm a few towns away in Farmingville

I once watched a documentary on Farmingville and they interviwed a woman wearing a Fleetwood Mac t-shirt, was that you?

[Travis]

Current Favorites / Songs of theirs I’m enjoying

Colbie Caillat / Fallin’ For You and I Never Told You
Noisettes / Don’t Upset The Rhythm and Never Forget You
Shakira / Gypsy, Did It Again and Men In This Town
Sophie Ellis-Bextor / Bittersweet and one of her classics Music Gets The Best Of Me
David Guetta / Sexy Bitch, When Love Takes Over and One Love

[DefDumbandBlond]

Ramones, David Bowie, Heart, The Gun Club, Iggy Pop, Led Zeppelin, Blondie, Deborah Harry, Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick, Rolling Stones, Missing Persons, Patti Smith, New York Dolls, Velvet Underground, Pat Benatar, The Doors, Talking Heads, Donna Summer, & Aerosmith are my other top favorites!

[MissLadyLoki]

I once watched a documentary on Farmingville and they interviwed a woman wearing a Fleetwood Mac t-shirt, was that you?

Definitely not. That doc was made in 2002, I was probably either finishing elementary school or going to junior high, and I didn't know the Mac at all (didn't know 'em till about 2007 and back then, I was into rap and top 40 pop). Besides, I heard that doc was about day laborers, which I have seen firsthand around town. It is a real problem with them standing on the street corners all day and I have seen protesters sometimes, even with people videotaping it.

Looking at these band lists, I was suprised at the number of metal bands I see, and I gotta admit that i thought I was pretty much the only F-Mac fan/metalhead around here, but that's cool. BTW, a quick clarification with Metallica: I don't like anything after the Black Album, but my favorite album is Master of Puppets.

Nawp, not the only metalhead. I am as equally at home at Mac/Stevie shows as I am at Mastodon or Machine Head shows (and I just realized I forgot to put Machine Head on my list - a sad omission, for Robb Flynn is very cuddly & also they rock). My Mac/Stevie & other classic rock goodies share space on the shelf with my black metal & doom metal goodies, like one big demented family. :laugh:

I also forgot to add anything Mike Patton related to my list - from Faith No More to Tomahawk to Lovage to Peeping Tom to Fantomas.

Same here. The Mac and other classic rockers share room with my thrash metal-ers. I just have a very wide tastes when it comes down to pretty much everything (for example, I read a lot, and I read anything from classics to Calvin and Hobbes comics), so the music is just another extension of my tendency to wide tastes.

Still, that's awesome you like Machine Head too. I love The Blackening and I can't wait for a new album to come out next year.

Yup yup.

Been a big MH fan ever since someone handed me a copy of Burn My Eyes when I was about 14.

I went to Mayhem Fest a couple years ago with a friend, pretty much specifically because MH was going to be there. There were a couple of other bands I wanted to see, too - Mastodon, Walls of Jericho - but mostly MH.

At one point, we hopped into a line that I thought was for the free cans of Rockstar - but all of a sudden, some big burly security dude is telling us that no one else can get in line behind us for the Machine Head signing, and I was like, "Wait, whaaaaat?" :laugh:

So I ended up buying another copy of The Blackening right there for them to sign for me. Robb Flynn is even more freakin' gorgeous in person, too, like - oh man. We chatted for a bit, and he signed my CD, gave me a poster & signed that, and then gave me one of his picks. Before I moved on, he hopped up and gave me hug & a kiss on the cheek.

I was exceedingly proud of myself for not immediately melting into a puddle of goo all over his boots. I managed to make it through the rest of the guys signing my stuff and out of line before I was all "OMG, DUDE!" all over the place.

My pics & video from that day are on the laptop that is currently out of commission, but here's a random photo of Mr. Flynn anyway so I can just, y'know, bask in his awesome for a moment. Feel free to bask along with me. The more, the merrier! It'll be a group basking.

Ready? Set? BASK:

Yessiree. Om nom nom. ;)

[MissLadyLoki]

I actually had no idea what he looked like at all, but then again, I took forever to figure out which guy in Metallica was Kirk Hammett. Hell, if I ever met a rock star, I'd probably end up passing out (and they're from a small list, accidently-on-purpose fall onto their lap lol).

[ILoveFM]

I really adore Elvis. He's been a love of mine all of my life. I also love Tom Petty, The Eagles, Elton John, The Beatles (solo and collectively!), Blue Oyster Cult, Steely Dan, Kate Bush, The Stones, Lady Gaga, Paramore, Matchbox Twenty, Miranda Lambert, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Prince!, David Bowie, Tupac, ABBA. I'll stop now :)

Haha thanks! I'm leaving out a lot, I'm sure.

Oh, there's QUEEN! How could I forget my beloved Freddy?!?!? The Cure, Kiss, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Sia, LED ZEPPELIN, ACDC, I love a lot of MJ's early stuff, Aerosmith, Bette Midler, Cher, Rod Stewart, haha ok I'll really stop now.

[MissLadyLoki]

I totally forgot about MJ! I love his stuff, but I do have a very contreversial (sp?) opinion about him: I like Bad more than Thriller.

[jaycee]

I concur! :D

[markolas]

I've gotten into '40s-'60s country music quite a bit. Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Sons of the Pioneers, Ray Price, Kitty Wells, etc. Lots of blues and jazz. Billie Holiday is probably my favorite singer, ever. Not as much of a die-hard Joni Mitchell fan as I was a few years ago, but she's still one of my faves as well. Don't go in much for hard rock or punk.

[bluefox4000]

Meh......MJ was never my cup of tea. However......I LOVE his voice when he was little..Just phenomenal. His adult voice......not so much:shrug:

Mick

He was adorable as a kid, especially with that little for and everything. TBH, I think he had a deeper voice as a kid than as an adult lol.

[TrueFaith77]

I totally forgot about MJ! I love his stuff, but I do have a very contreversial (sp?) opinion about him: I like Bad more than Thriller.

MJ 80s: Triumph > Bad > Thriller > Victory

Solo: Blood on the Dance Floor > HIStory > Off The Wall > Dangerous > Bad > Invincible > Thriller

And just to be clear: Thriller IS great. But I think it's probably his least great solo album. . . as album.


Oh and as for his voice: I think MJ was the greatest singer who ever lived.

I think Thriller is great too, and I love Beat It, but Bad has so many more kickass songs, like Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, and Man in the Mirror.

[TrueFaith77]

I can't even begin to list them all, so I'm going to try to list the very cream of my (very) personal crop and off the top of my head:

The Smiths / Morrissey
Roxy Music / Bryan Ferry
Talking Heads / David Byrne
The Beatles
Pet Shop Boys
Public Enemy
New Order / Electronic / Bad Lieutenant / rewind: Joy Division
Scritti Politti
Kate Bush
Associates / Billy Mackenzie
Michael Jackson / The Jacksons / Jackon 5
Iris Dement
Elvis Costello (1977-1986)
The Rolling Stones
Prince
Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band / Kid Creole & The Coconuts
Erasure / Yazoo
Chic
De La Soul
Donna Summer
The Wedding Present / Cinerama
The Clash
Bruce Springsteen
Neil Young
Sex Pistols / Public Image, Ltd. / John Lydon
Sex Pistols / Malcom McClaren
Saint Etienne / Sarah Cracknell
Diana Ross & The Supremes
The Isley Brothers
Marvin Gaye (& Tammi Terrell)
X
Au Pairs
Smokey Robinson
Aretha Franklin
(lol apparently I saved the two greatest living singers for last :-/)


What I need to do most is explore and really geek out on more pre-1977 music.

[TrueFaith77]

I think Thriller is great too, and I love Beat It, but Bad has so many more kickass songs, like Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, and Man in the Mirror.

I agree. I also think it's as a cohesive album (even though it began the MJ problem of being a li'l tooo long--only Blood on the Dance Floor is perfect in every way--and talk about KICKASS SONGS!)

That aside, MJ does indeed rule.

Since you wanna check out more pre-1977 music, ever listen to The Who? They're a great classic rock band and were great before 1977 (cause in 1978, they made that atrocity Who Are You, Keith Moon died, and it was all downhill from there).

I only know the film Tommy, which I love (watch for my upcoming book which features a "chapter" on the film!)

In another MJ aside: one of my best friends in the whole world (and hero) self-published a book about MJ that is really worth reading for anyone interested in enriching the MJ experience.

Tommy is a good film, and I got a kick out of the look on Roger Daltrey's face during his blind parts, but I recommend checking out The Who's other stuff, such as Who's Next and Quadrophenia

He's from Mississippi ;)

[iamnotafraid]

He's from Mississippi ;)

Are you sure? I was just listening to WHBQ and Dewey Phillips
said his home town was Memphis. I think the kid has some talent.

[chiliD]

it's official...you have the best list...:thumbsup::eek::shocked:

'Tis comprehensive, to say the least! :laugh:

And "they" say your tastes in music narrow as you age :shrug: :lol:...I guess that's true in some ways, my tastes HAVE narrowed...for a while, I'd narrowed my listening to just a handful of bands & artists I liked in my teens & twenties (Beatles, Stones, FMac, Clapton, Allmans, ZZ Top, Little Feat and not much more).

Once I got an iPod and started loading nearly my entire CD collection onto iTunes, my tastes opened up wide again...started listening to stuff I hadn't touched in years...and heard things in those songs/albums/artists I hadn't heard before, or had forgotten. Had I made that list about three years ago, it probably would've been the 7 artists I named above and that would've been about it.

Elvis Aaron Presley, in the humblest of circumstances, was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953.
