Sugababes ……..Hendrix,
How can you have the Sugababes and Jimi Hendrix on the same list?
Same wasy as having Girls Aloud (Allowed?) on your list – video on, sound turned off.
Way too many to name, but just about anything Punk including some of the current bands
who grew out of the original movement although to call them Punk is perhaps a bit far fetched.
Ska music.
The Blues from 1920’s-30s country folk blues right up to Seasick Steve – Jimmy Rodgers, Leadbelly,
Blind Lemon Jefferson, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, John Lee Hooker, Rory Gallagher,
Chuck E. Weiss, SRV and plenty of the Fat Possum artists like RL Burnside and Fred McDowell on and on.
David Bowie, yes even most of his bad stuff.
Johnny Cash.
U2, Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, Hendrix, Led Zepp., Pink Floyd
William Shatner’s Has Been album – worth a listen to, quite surprising, Joey Ramone gets a mention !
Anything with a good guitar riff which includes too many to mention…Have to stop typing and listen to some music now. :)
Ah.
This could take a while, my music taste is a little…eclectic.Kanye West, Madonna, Camilo, Stevie Wonder, Lady GaGa, Kate Havnevik, Regina Spektor, Chris Brown, Amy Winehouse, The Beatles, The Animals, Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, Frankmusik, Pharrell, The Cat Empire, The Coronas, Damien Rice, Paul Oakenfold, Daft Punk, Foo Fighters, Imogen Heap, Lil’ Wayne, Gwen Stefani, Bill Withers, Eric Clapton, Newton Faulkner, Nas, Tracy Chapman, Ludacris, The Cranberries, Sinatra, Rat Pack really :P, The Used, Bright Eyes, Kings of Leon, Muse, Tupac, Bob Marley, Damien Marley, Majek Fashek, … you’re startin to get the picture? :P
Right so, Ive resisted as long as possible….
Dr Feelgood. I lost count the amount of times I saw them play…… some of my best music memories were created back then. Brilliant stuff, Wilko Johnson chopping away and Lee Brilleaux swigging wine from the bottle – great memories….despite the permanent ringing in my left ear. Or maybe I can blame U2 in the Dandelion (I was one of the 500,000 who were there!)
The Specials AKA, Elvis Costello & the Attractions, The Buzzcocks, The B52’s.
Ian Dury & the blockheads- saw them play in the Stardust of all places… with Wilko on guitar.
Talking Heads – got the dvd of Stop Making Sense free in some Sunday paper last year….. it was brilliant then and still is.
The Jam…… ah yes
Nowadays, I still listen to all the above, but also pretty much anything else. Depending on my mood a glass of red wine goes down smoother with a bit of Everything but the girl, but painting walls or other DIY is a pleasure to Dr Feelgood and the best live album ever – Stupidity
Rory Gallagher, Thin Lizzy, Glyder, Jaded Sun, The Answer 3 of the best up and coming Irish classic rock sounding bands today, BLS – Zakk Wylde, Ozzy, ZZ Top, Budgie, Janis Joplin, Pearl, Lauren Harris, Steve Vai, Any Blues – Old crackly stuff to now, ACDC, Horslips, John lee Hooker, Slayer, early Metallica, Anthrax, Judas Priest, Disturbed
The list is too long to put it all down, but mainly Guitar riffy stuff loud is the best for me….
Wide ranging tastes on show here.
I like a lot of african music: an album I think most people would enjoy: New Ancient Strings by Toumani Diabate.
Captain Beefheart, Howlin’ Wolf, Frank Zappa, Manic Street Preachers, Billy Joel, Amy Winehouse, most jazz and blues to be honest.
Nothing touches Beefheart though… except perhaps Howlin’ Wolf, I can’t quite decide, I’ve liked Howlin’ Wolf longer apparently, according to my mother I used to insist on having it on tape to go to sleep when I was about 2 :lol:.
All my rats are named after either Beefheart or Zappa songs/lyrics/poems. :)

Easy. Push the button is a simple slick bit of cheesy bubblegum pop, with a catcy riff, simple uplifting chord structure and a rather fine accompanying video.
Hendrix redefined the electric guitar as an instrument, and Mitch Mitchell (RIP) is my favourite drummer of all time. Their groove, dynamics and occasional uncharted noodling were simply spellbinding.
Each does what they do very well, and each makes my list of music that I enjoy, albeit in very different ways. Sometimes you want steak, sometimes a burger.
I love acoustic guitars, acapella music, and music that was never anything but ones and zeros till it fell out of my DAC. My favourite is symphonic punk country disco tho.
Just happened on this on me player… Def Leppard –
I got that feeling in my blood…
I need your touch, don’t need your love…And I want…
And I need…
And I know…
Animal
It Rocks.
Love listening to stuff that reminds me of moments of my life from the past.
Also partial to a sip of ‘The Prodigy’… ‘Music for the Retarded Generation’ as the Greek Sheridan once put it.
Love listening to stuff that reminds me of moments of my life from the past
Just had the same conversation with an old school mate last Thursday – MTUSA. Vincent Hanley, Sunday afternoon, 3 hours on a 14″ colour portable. Pat Benetar, Love is a battlefield, Toto – Africa, The Stranglers – Rich Golden Brown, Cyndi Lauper – Girls just wanna have fun, Yes – Owner of a Lonely Heart, John Waite – I ain’t missing you at all, Jim Diamond – I-i,i,i,i,i Lu-uve you…I could go on.
And how could we forget the long awaited and much praised Thriller – 14 minutes of ecstacy when it was released and the conversations that night at the night club – “did you see it – it was brilliant”. Ah the days…when we used more shampoo than soap on hour male heads, and a check shirt was all you needed.
The UnYoke – Kenny Loggins – Footloose
The UnYoke – Brian Adams – The Summer of ’69
Brendan Brogan – Coogan’s Pub Enniscorthy – Footloose – Would always sing it when the pints where flowing and the craic was 90
Enniscorthy Community Centre – T’Pau – China in Her Hands (Hated it)
The Castle Nightclub Enniscorthy – K.W.S Version – Please Don’t Go
Kilmurry Lodge Hotel Disco when in Uni – Robert Miles – Childeren
Gerry – A guitar playing pal in Uni – Poison – Every Rose Has a Thorn
Ronnie – A guitar playing pal in Uni – The Eagles – Take It Easy
Goodfellas (The Movie) – The Crystals – Then He Kissed Me
Gazillions of songs that just remind me of times, places, people. Love ’em.
