What music do you like besides Fleetwood Mac?
 
This has probably been posted before, but I don't wanna go through 200 pages worth of posts to find it. :sorry:

I like allot of other music. I like pretty much all rock/metal from the British invasion on up to modern rock and metal. I also like some blues, rap, and country.

Here's a list of my top 30 artists: http://www.last.fm/user/rockmetalrul...e_bandsartists. I forgot to put the Eagles. They'd rank somewhere around 18th.
If you want to look at more of musical likings, here's my last fm page: http://www.last.fm/user/rockmetalrules

FM is my 2nd most played artist overall, behind Stephen Stills.

KarmaContestant 02-11-2013 09:08 PM

I could list lots of artists, but I'll keep it brief and only name the few that really represent my musical tastes.

Aside from Stevie Nicks / Fleetwood Mac, I absolutely love:

Siouxsie & The Banshees
Depeche Mode
Madonna
Portishead
Concrete Blonde
The Black Keys
Fiona Apple
Regina Spektor
Kasabian
Coldplay

There are literally hundreds more, but I see little point in naming off lists of obscure artists. The ones above are the best of the best for me; the artists for which I must (and do) have everything. For what it's worth, there are 334 other singers/composers/bands in my iTunes folder, spanning 1164 LPs/EPs and a total of 7405 songs.

I'msoAfraid95 02-11-2013 09:25 PM

Also, It would be cool if you guys could tell us what you like/dislike about other member's tastes.

hahahahaha.Yes My friends say I never came out of the 60's ,70's and 1980's.

A handful of new artists like Adele I like.

Its not like the old days like i used to like every tune after another and go out and buy the 45 rpm single.

I love those 1980's maxi singles.

redbird 02-12-2013 07:35 PM

I find it hard to get into things like hardcore and most metal, but otherwise I'm pretty open genre-wise (I don't like everything in a certain genre though). Electronica doesn't interest me very often but now and then there's something.

SteveMacD 02-12-2013 07:41 PM

Guided by Voices (my all-time favorite)
Richard & Linda Thompson/Fairport Convention/Sandy Denny
Byrds

Lots of others, too.

I'msoAfraid95 02-12-2013 07:49 PM

Am I the only person on this board who likes most metal.(apart from black metal)

RickRobert 02-12-2013 08:01 PM

Hard rock, melodic and thrash metal, pop, soundtracks, dubstep, electro, house... anything with a good melody or groove basically. And ambience is always nice

It depends on what era of metal you're talking about. I love bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Motörhead. I don't really dig '80s hair metal or death metal.

hello, new friend :)
Do you have a favorite song/album?

WildHearted 02-13-2013 03:36 PM

Some of my favorite artists off the top of my head, but certainly not the only people I listen too:

Backstreet Boys
Britney Spears (late 90's/early 00's)
Gavin DeGraw
Hanson
The Beatles
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
The Eagles
John Denver
Dolly Parton
Kenny Loggins
Michael Jackson
Lana Del Rey

I hate to categorize into genres, but I guess to generalize, I mostly like soft-rock, folk, acoustic, and pop-rock sort of stuff. Not into anything too heavy really, no grunge or metal or anything of the like. I do like 80s dance music but not into current dance music or hip hop. And I have a soft spot for my nostalgic childhood popstars (late 90s stuff).

estranged4life 02-13-2013 04:34 PM

I like most genres...
 
of music, Minus rap/hip-hop and country (Not enough gold in Fort Knox to make me listen to either genre)...and sad to admit the only time I hear Fleetwood Mac NOW is if I hear their music played on the music system here at the library (Which ironically only seems to play songs that CM sings lead on)

FYI, The current music on my cd player are the Planet P Project's "1931 Go Out Dancing Part 1" (The lyrical content I can see happening in this day & age), "Levittown - Go Out Dancing Part 2" and of the course the epic "Pink World" (Sorry Mr. Roger Waters, but you cannot even come close to Mr.Carey's PPP "Pink World"...No chance in hell)

Amazing, "Hey" is my favorite song ever (well for now). And of course Doolittle is my favorite album. I don't see a bad song here, and "Monkey gone to heaven" is a really pretty song (cellos, unusual for Pixies!)

Alabama Shakes are great. They're one of the few bands that are not ashamed to make 60's sounding music.
Talking new stuff, well, again, HAIM. I know they sound like corporate rock, but they are great musicians, pop-songwriters, and they dig Fleetwood Mac. What else?

TheWILDheart 02-14-2013 12:06 PM

Abba
Kate Bush
Blondie
Alanis Morissette
Sarah McLachlan

redbird 02-14-2013 12:29 PM

It's hard for me to come up with lists like everyone else's so here are the artists whose albums I most recently listened to (besides the Mac):

Bruce Springsteen

Django Django
Calexico
