The Pagemeister Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Your taste in music is wrong. You got all the 70's and 80's heavy hitters there. AIC, Primus and Danzig representing the 90's. Heart representing the women rockers. A lot of good stuff there, except maybe the Bonjovi... A bit of a surprise that you don't have Hendrix on the list. Bad Company? Or The Stones, I figure they're not as hard rock as the others on the list, but if you like ACDC, Aerosmith, and GnR, then you might include The Stones. You did well in putting Zep on top.

Jarlaxle 56 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Looks like all you have are (Good, admittedly) Metal bands, a couple proggier bands (Tool, Deep Purple) and some classic Rock, as well as one grunge act (Alice In Chains) I recommend you check out, for some essential listening in other genres... Jazz (And Jazz Fusion) The Mahavishnu Orchestra Miles Davis Jeff Beck Alternative and Indie Rock The Velvet Underground Radiohead The Flaming Lips Sonic Youth Pixies Grunge Rock Pearl Jam Soundgarden Nirvana Temple of The Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarlaxle 56 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I second Paco De Lucia and Tchaikovsky, good shit right there. Check out the live album De Lucia did with John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola, forget what it's called exactly, "Live in San Francisco" or something similar...

An essential album in every true music lover collection. There's a lack of variety in your list even though most of those bands are excellents, you need more musical "genre".

It's easily one of the finest AND best guitar album, ever! 'Passion, Grace and Fire' is another amazing record from that legendary trio. Highly recommended!

zosodude13 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I've learned to expand my musical universe... like 3 years ago... all I listened to was LZ, CCR, The Beatles and was basically a classic rock person solely but, ive learned to embrass more stuff... Johnny Cash Chuck Berry 13th Floor Elevators King Crimson MC5 Fleetwood Mac (the GOOD one, w/ peter green) James Brown Sly and the Family Stone The Velvet Underground Robert Johnson Robert Plant & Alison Krauss T.Rex (beyond "Bang a Gong) The United States of America Soft Machine and to top it off... the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey I'm in a R&B phase right now with people like Otis Redding, The Temptations, The Isley Brothers and the old 60's stuff... im not even close to where I should be... im much farther along then I was 4 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I like Fleetwood Mac with Nicks/ Buckingham. I love Rumours. I just got Fleetwood Mac: Fleetwood Mac, and I think it's great. Rhiannon is one of my favourite songs. Your taste in music isn't bad, just expand it a little bit. You should check out Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin, but I reccomend her to everyone. Also you spell it Yngwie Malmsteen, it's a w not a u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Jovi You spelt Yngwie Malmsteen wrong, Megadeth wrong and Motley Crue wrong. You can't be a real fan of them, any fool knows how to spell them And yes, I'm being a bitch but two of the bands you spelt wrong are my two favourites. Otherwise, I'd say excellent taste, but you need more 50s, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommended! I have Al Di Meola's Electric Rendevous and it has the song Passion,Grace & Fire. I highly recommend this one as well. Can't go wrong with any of this stuff. I was turned on to this music in the 70's by a very good friend of mine.He was a badass bass player in the 8th grade.He later had lessons with Jaco Pastorius amongst many other influential double bassists... I turned him onto Zep and he loved JPJ...He is now the principal bass player for the Louisiana Philharmonic. Don't miss out on the other genre's,you will be amazed if you have an open mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Also, if you want to listen to some of the more "extreme" metal genres like Death Metal or Black Metal, I could give you some good recommendations...such as.. Opeth Arch Enemy Nile Children of Bodom Penumbra Deathspell Omega Dimmu Borgir Necrophagist Meshuggah As well as these two which don't exactly fit into either of those genres... Mastodon Nightwish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semolina_pilchard Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Eh, expand a little. Can't say much else other than what anyone else already has. Perhaps go in a different direction with something like Television or Nick Drake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3hrsoflunacy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 1, 2, 4, & 7 I enjoy a lot. But, I do think you need some diversity. Throw in a little Frank Sinatra, Elvis, some blues (Bo Diddley, BB King, John Lee Hooker), some classical (Mozart and more Mozart) some chick music, some CCR, and some Johnny Cash and you'll be just fine. Just stay away from the rap crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Damnation, they could just play nothing but smooth Jazz and I would definitely still listen to them.

Big Klu Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Jahfin's list would crush everyone's like a paper cup. Including mine. .....cause it only includes crap on my ipod that I'd only want to hear out-in-about, while engaged in quiet contemplation or professor-ignoring. But believe you me, if I wasn't lazy enough to rip Cream or Maiden to the player....holy cow.....the tide would turn.. such is the power of Iron Maiden.
