Anyone Here Electric?

Eclectic- In music, meaning someone who listens to all forms of music...

I love all types of music. Classical, blues, jazz, classic rock, rap, reggae, metal, techno, jambands, motown, etc....

A short list of different bands/music I like:

Bach
Beetohven
Led Zeppelin(always my favorite, in the end)
Ten Years After
Black Sabbath
Iron Butterfly
Elton John
Lambert Hendrix and Ross
Thelonious Monk
Jackson 5
B.B. King
George Clinton + P-Funks
Rob Zombie(especially White Zombie)
Eazy-E
2pac
Tech N9ne
KottonMouth Kings
Cypress Hill
Marley(all of them.... love the Arthur them song )
Sublime
311
GWAR (rocks my balls)
Slayer
Hatebreed
Rammstein
Phish
Modest Mouse
Grateful Dead
Temptations
Marvin Gaye
Barry White

The list goes on and on and on...

Anyone else love it all?

P.S.- Not a big fan of country though, Do love a bit of it though like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams(both). And I hate newer hip-hop and rap.... I guess I don't hate it, but only time I hear it is at work, and not by choice. Pretty much, if I give anything enough time, I usually like it.

that's me!

but i like country too

love, kp

i like a lot of brazilian music. it just makes sense to me. i speak portuguese.

Hi Pool,
Interesting list………..FWIW….
My musical filters are not as wide as yours.
I am much less eclectic in my current tastes.
That being said, I can cherry-pick the following from your list:
Bach
Beethoven
Theloniouis Monk
Lambert Hendricks and Ross
Grateful Dead
………the rest that I recognize no longer appeal to me in the least.
I hate ALL country music and ALL Hip Hop.

i'm a punk rocker

but i do also enjoy lots of folk, bluegrass, blues, jazz, ska, latin shit, some rap (afroman anyone??? lol) and whatnot...

Axolotls: The Fascinating Mexican Axolotl and the Tiger Salamander

Hell yea Wavels. Haven't met many who even heard of Lambert Hendrix and Ross. Those I play it for usually think I'm joking at first, then tell me I'm crazy

Hey pool, sounds like me. Give and take a few. I like classic rock and rock the most. The 60, 70 and 80's eras are always fun. No country for me thanks. I know some old ones from the parents and stuff, and have heard some new stufff but I don't listen to it myself. As for that I listen to pretty much anything but Celine Dion and Rush. Can't stand either one.

Hi Pool, hi everyone; a specific band that I highly recommend is Meat Puppets. Some of you may have heard of them because in Nirvana's Unplugged, they played 3 Puppets covers (Oh Me, Plateau, and Lake of Fire). Their older stuff (mid 80's), is a trio playing a blend of country-rock (they're from Arizona and you can hear it in their singing accents) with a lot of psychadelia, funk (they like covering P-Funk live), and punk (influenced more by say Black Flag than say, The Clash).
Obviously, I really really dig this band otherwise I wouldn't take the time to describe what they're like. To see if you like it, download the songs "Up On The Sun," "Seal Whales," "Animal Kingdom," and all 3 songs Nirvana covered.

P.S. to show I don't have a bias against any kind of rock, I will state that I listen to bands such as Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, the Minutemen, Hank Williams Jr. .......
and the list goes on

Good smoke and good tunes everyone!

Hiya purpxtc, will definitely check out the Meat Puppets... They sound familiar, but I dunno.

Smoke on.

Also, has anyone here ever heard Ten Years After? If you like or know Zeppelin, imagine them but more blues, and a few years before zepp as well. They have a good few vids on you tube, check em' out.

The lead singer is also the lead guitarist, Alvin Lee. He's pretty bad ass on guitar. Still tours as well, and I hear Ten Years After is making a come back, but with a new "Alvin Lee".

Oh man I love music in portuguese. I don't speak it, but I love to listen to it. The album Gil & Jorge by Gilberto Gil and Jorge Ben is one of my all time fav albums, want an amazing jam session. Everyone should check it out, or at lest Taj Mahal off of it.

if you like stoner-metal, which is black sabbath cross-breeded with black fag-ish punk, then you should check out Kyuss. I don't know why it's called "stoner", it sure as hell is not a direct reference to kind of people that listen/play it. Joshua Homme (the man behind Queens of the Stone Age) was the guitarist, and alot of his riffs were similar to QOTSA. Check out any song by this band ...

do i have to like Punjabi stuff to be considered eclectic,,cuz other than that I'd say i like music from pretty much all categories,,from led zep to black sab,to hank snow charlie pride,to Ice-T to NWA,to stompin tom connors for that matter,,I like hip hop soca and reggaesome spanish stuff,,techno,,shit,,I can't understand what Rammstein is sayin,,but i like it,,LOL

Keep on Growin
