I listen to pretty much everything. I play a lot of improvisationally friendly music such as rock, jazz/funk, and bluegrass. After all these years I can finally say it: My name is Patrick, and I'm a Deadhead.

I'll listen to just about any music genre and can probably find something interesting in most of them. My general listening covers a wide range. I'm not sure what genre some of it would fall into. As far as playing the guitar goes I've done classical, blues, rock and some acoustic. I'm currently doing a lot of the latter and have started attending a pub jam session that covers folk, blues and other acoustic music with a variety of instruments.
I just love music in all its forms.
I listen to just about everything but opera (The Magic Flute excepted - it has a place in the heart - but that's story that will go untold right now).
My favs are Blues, '50s Rock, '60s Rock, Country, Alternative, and Other.
What fits in Other, well that would be two kinds - folk, and Grateful Dead music.

Oh and I'm also happy to admit that I -AM- a fan of old school gangsta rap (Ice's T and Cube mostly), all kinds of hip-hop, with a soft spot for the Beasties first album and Aussie acts like the Herd and Hilltop Hoods and their ilk. I also really like a lot of Wu Tang Clan's earlier recordings. Dig through the "gansta" imagery and listen to the beats and samples and you'll find they have a groove that no other rap artists have been able to copy. I'm betting mostly RZA's influence as I've also really dug a few soundtracks he did (Ghost Dog in particular)
Also worth checking out...
- Jurassic 5 (awesome actually)
- Everlast (Whitey Ford, you know, the guy from House of Pain)
If you only listen to one Rap album though, get a hold of Public Enemy "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back" from 1988. This album was incredibly relevant to the evolution of not only Rap and Hip-Hop, but also many forms of electronic music and DJ'ing. It's been sampled so many times it's crazy. It's also an album with a social conscience. It's anti-drug, anti-racism, anti-sexist and more. Plus, it's got "Bring The Noise" on it!!
Oh and lets not forget the relatively groundbreaking combination of rap and rock with RunDMC and Aerosmith and of course, my boys, Public Enemy with Anthrax doing "Bring The Noise" with those chugging metal guitars in the background.
If you're feeling the rap/rock combo I highly recommend the awesome (first of its kind maybe?) soundtrack to "Judgement Night". They somehow paired up bands like Slayer with Ice T, Helmet with House of Pain, Pearl Jam with Cyprus Hill and more. It's hard, heavy, angry stuff (with the exception of the Sonic Youth/Cyprus Hill track "I Love You Mary Jane") but I think everyone should listen to it at some point. Drummers, check out the Slayer and Ice T jam "Disorder" and tell me you didn't find yourself air-drumming like a madman by the end. I'm not even a drummer and that song makes me wanna hit stuff....
Anyway....enough.... I fear TLNR

Well I guess we should be in the same group haha.
One tip though... Try and remember to turn scrobbling off when using jam tracks. I laughed when I checked my top ten a while ago and found things like "blues BT in G" and "Metal in E" on my list
Yup. I get the same thing with some of my recorded tracks, so I usually opt to play that stuff in something without last.fm support, such as this.Originally Posted by Ch0jin

I am in Brian's group too (punk/indie/roots/garage), pretty much, based on my above posts. I have to admit that though I have tried a bit, I have never been able to get into much rap/hip hop, etc. Not too much metal either.Originally Posted by Ch0jin
