Slick 60's

Me, I'm a 44yr HeadBanger who likes any kind of music as long as it's not country.

Me and the wife have well over 700 CDs in our collection and not a single one was D/Led off the internet.
She likes anything from Kid Rock to Willie Nelson and I my taste will vary from week to week.

Some days all I want to here is Metallica, other days all I want to here is Lynyrd Skynyrd or Kenny Wayne Shepard.
Then some days I will turn on that all Blues channel and listen to the legends that started it all.

i also like the metal. no hairband stuff though. right now i'm into "fuzz rock" or "stoner rock" as it's sometimes called. bands no one has heard of like mastidon, fu manchu, dozer, and monkey 3, but i like all kinds of rock, blues, and country. johnny cash is a favorite.

Rock & Roll and most other Rock.

I like a diversity of music, mostly depending on my mood. However, my wife listens to stuff at times, that makes me go elsewhere. It only bothers me if I'm traped with it. I like soothing music when I drive, keeps down the road rage, but tends to put me to sleep, so I have to be carefull. To be specific, I like older rock, country, bluegrass, some blues, classic, etc. etc..

This is the station I listen to 95% of the time. If the wife is home or in the car, I have to keep the volume down...lol. She prefers talk radio.

I started off listening Rock and Roll of the 60's and 70's, then switched to Country sometime around '92 or so.
I still listen to mostly Country, alot of Blues, and a mix of other stuff.
One of my favorite podcasts is Rock and roll based Roots Rock Radio ( http://www.rrradio.com ) it is gritty and down to basics, something I miss in today's rock.

I listen to that on the computer in the office or 93.7 The Arrow out of Houston

I really like nearly any kind of rock although lately I have been listening to more stuff out of the 70s, Jackson Brown, Lynard Skynard, Eagles, any AC/DC. I need a I Pod.

I've been tormenting Garbz with all sorts of fun stuff. We use Musicmatch Jukebox with an On Demand subscription so I can pipe in the notes and melodies from the best of Western Swing, Black Metal, Rockabilly Revival, BOP Jazz, Funk Metal, Delta Blues, Old Skool PUNK, Experimental Rock, Slide Guitar Blues, Garage Punk and whatever suits the mood!

Tim, you sound like we could cruise together :steering:

I'm ridin' with Tim and Mike

Mostly any type of Rock first off, but any thing that's well played. . . .err, Ahh, except Screaming & Drums or Radical Hip Hop that incites hatred ('cause I don't consider noise & stress to be either music or entertaining.)

More important to me is what I play and it's Rock, Country/Rock, Blues or Boogie Style Blues (aka Geo Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc.) But mostly everybody knows I'm wired wierd anyway. . . .

PS
Farewell To Freddy Fender The Tex Mex Country Rock Musician, Some of his tunes were "Secret Love" "wasted days & wasted Nights" "before the next tear drop falls" and many, many other well known tunes.

He died today at his home, with his family at his side, in Corpus Christi, Texas, from Lung Cancer which he was just diagnosed with this year. You're appreciated for what you did. !Adios, mi amigo Y las Tejas Picker.

Freddy Fender was 69.

I am a metal head. But I have started to get into bands like the Killers, Gorrilaz, and HIM. I hate emo rock. My favorite band is Metallica, even if their last album was weak. I have Metallica S&M in my car right now. I like how they blended the symphony with metal. I like social distortion, bad religion, sex pistols. I like classic rock. I love Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Her voice is incredible. I was never able to get into the grunge rock of the early 90s. During that time I started listening to classic rock and "discovered" MotorHead, Black Sabath, Deap Purple etc. If I can't listen metal, like when my wife is in the car she likes enya and budah bar . I listen to blues and jass. I love working in my garage blasting Slayer, and Rob Zombie while I am working on my cars. It scares my neighbors

Thats what I am talking about. Rock on!

Well, I kinda expected there to be more country fans here but I guess it's not easy to restore or tinker on our trucks while crying in our beer.
Like the song says,"Rock n Roll ain't niose pollution,
Rock n Roll ain't gonna Die"
AC/DC

i was originally a rock only person, along the way somewhere i began to listen to country. now it depends on the mood i am in and what i am doing at the time.so long as theres no screaming banshees or rap, which i cant stomach, im ok.in my late teens and early 20s i attended lots of rock concerts.probably helps explain why i cant hear stuff real well at times.

rode the bull at Gilleys in Pasadena Tx too.bowed to the porcelain throne later on that night . back then there were more folks wearing western attire in Chicago than the Houston area due to the Travolta movie.

Well I'll put my 2 bits in for country music. I aint talkin but the new faggy boy band bell bottom baggy jean nose piecing disrespecting music that out radio stations so spinelessly play.

I'm talking about real outlaw Waylon, Johnny Cash, David Allen Coe, Lefty Frizell, Hank I, II, & III, Kris, Merle, Willie and a few that carry the torch today like Travis Tritt, Marty Stuart, Toby Keith.

As Far as Rock goes, I admit that I'm still a carry over from the 70s & 80s rock days cause that's what I grew up with. Sirius 23 Hair Nation gets its share of play time on the old satellite radio.

LOL well I spent my early adulthood in Calgary, famous of course for the Calgary Stampede, biggest rodeo in North America. For a bald young adult, a bar full of girls during the stampede allowed a non-fashionable bald guy a chance to dance with some very pretty girls, who would normally have nothing to do with a guy like me, under the disguise of a cowboy hat LOL.

But them big dance halls during Stampede only played.. you guessed it.. country music. So I used to stoke myself up with about 2 solid hours of AC/DC before I went, so I could suffer thru a few hours of country music!.. I guess it worked though, I met my wife at one of those Calgary Stampede dance halls She picked me up there..

So over the years, I became somewhat tolerant of the countrified rock tunes that are actually more like early rock than whiny, cry in your beer real country tunes. To this day, my wife and my song is "Cadillac Ranch" by , of course Bruce Springsteen, but played by a country band LOL
And, to tolerate someone like Faith Hill or Shania Twain, there is always the TV clicker. The little button marked "Mute" works great for them two!

LOL
