Music?

[Hollon]

What kind of music does everyone here listen to?

I listen to a blues station on the radio while I'm working, but at home, mostly Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead. I would imagine that I'm a minority around here, but I was wondering what everyone else listens to?

Well now that is a very strange question as it depends on the time of day and the day of the week and if the wife is in the room or not. If I with just me in the room it is classical. If it my wife in the room it is contemporary Christian. If I'm forging or making jewelry I like things lie the Stones or Cash. Nelson, Beatles, but not no way Whelk, Can't stand that stuff. Like to sing hymns in the shower, like to listen to folk songs on long trips. Don't like techno or death-head music like my son likes but he listens to some stuff that ain't half bad like Regina Spektor at least ways he recent stuff. So what do I listen to? Depends.

Favorite band is Rush. However, I will listen to just about anything with the exception of (k)rapp. I used to 20 years ago, but the new stuff makes me wanna use their sub woofers for an anvil.

I have lately picked up a taste for spanish/flamenco guitar as well as country (its the only music that doesn't use the Lord's name in vain). I always have no problems dropping in some celtic (waterboys, paul brady, christy moore, ashley macisaac, etc) and the Jolly Rogers (pirate music with a sea-faring beat. very easy to rhythmically swing my 4-pounder to)

I use an ipod with an FM Transmitter and one of those hearing protector fm radios so I keep the eardrums happy but still have my music going.

My selection is really eclectic - everything from Beethoven to The Clash - Glen Miller to Eminem - Ella Fitzgerald to Pink then throw in a dash of Led Zep and Moby Grape . . . oh yeah, The Moody Blues is a good way to wind down the day.

Whatever gets the ol' body moving . . .

I like listening to heavy metal (no pun intended). But in the shop, classic rock stations get turned on when working, or in my case, tinkering most of the time. Nothing like some Stones, Led Zepplin, or Hendrix to while away the time. Of course, I have found Metallica and Megadeth are fun to forge to. Really make's the hammer move with the faster tempo. Some classical pieces, like Carmina Burana are good to work to, also.

I listen to What is now considered classic rock it's what I listened to growing up and both new country and the more traditional stuff. Like the traditional country and southern rock better than the new stuff.

I've been listening to Jimi Hendrix the most lately. Also Bob Dylan, The Beatles, John Lennon, Gnarls Barkley, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. My favorite from Hendrix is his later stuff like Band of Gypsies and Fillmore East, also his Blues album and any long instrumental jams.
