Right Gents i need some good music to listen to, and i just wondered if my American friends knew of some good stuff that has'nt reached us in the UK (after all, you have music superstars there that we've never heard of because the US is so big ). I'm open to all suggestions( keep it clean  ), it'd be also interesting to find out what you listen to (bel, VF,Tailhook ). Here's a few of my favourites, obviously the first is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q04_ClDxRsk , the next two are bands that come from Wales, the first is the Manic Street Preachers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyrJJxGWQ5g that come from a town about 8 miles from where i live and are a huge band (hit wise) and have been for some time and the next come from a town about 16 miles from where i live and are the fantastic Stereophonics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9VKxX4DM8k and from the same band http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OFnUPCNmySs

| That's a hard question there Welsh! It's hard to find some good music these days if you ask me. Personally I like to listen to rock, house and techno, so I guess not much of a help from me. As far as the bands are concerned AC-DC and such for rock and mostly european DJ's for techno and house. Hope somebody else can give you a fresh name straight from the big ol' US of A! |

Hey VF AC/DC are one of my favourite bands, but only when Bon scott was singing , after that i did'nt like them so much  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=m-twUOi1CM0 What is Angus on? . What i'm trying to get at is if you like something post a link for me so i can see it, i like every thing from opera to heavy metal, except rap, i'd rather slam my privates in a car door than listen to that  .

Plenty of music lovers here Welshflyer, we're just a shy lot.
I could write you a list so long you'd still be reading in the new year. Ok, for starters I don't like recent music because it lacks harmony and structure. So apart from classical music (Beethoven my favorite) I'm stuck basically with sixties music. I don't mind that at all though - so much to choose from.
Your topic starter: I haven't met anyone who dislikes 'In the Ghetto' and 'Suspicious Minds'. I'm really impressed with the Manic Street Preachers - just what are you guys up to in Wales... androgynous That song's grown on me, had it on a loop for hours. The Stereophonics "Step On My Old Size Nines" is nice without the video 
Sixties and seventies:
Jethro Tull
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Moody Blues
across the pond for vocal harmonies:
Crosby Stills and the Briton Nash
Mamas & Papas
Peter Paul & Mary
The Byrds
There you are, tip of the iceberg - any takers?

Some great choices there gents , the reason i asked is as VF said it's hard to find good new music, so i find myself going back in time to stuff i have'nt listened to, for example i've just really discovered the Travelling Wilburys that consisted of......
George Harrison
Tom Petty
Jeff Lynne
Bob Dylan
Roy Orbison
I just might have to ask Santa to bring me the collection for Christmas.

Difficult question to answer there Welsh...
As a musician I have listened to almost everything, and in my past played MOST types of music.
My favorite genres are still to this day:
Heavy Metal
Reggae
World Fusion (a broad genre encompassing many styles rolled into one)
Rock
Jazz (old school stuff like Coltrane, etc...)
and
Blues
My absolute favorite performers are Metallica, String Cheese Incident, Bjork, Slayer, and Bob Marley. If I were to list every single band I love, this post would stretch longer than Deuteronomy.
If you like some really interesting jazz I would also recommend Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.
By the way, I agree tailhook... new music has NO originality anymore... any monkey with a guitar and the right contacts can get a record contract it seems... needless to say, I did not have the right contacts.

I mentioned the lack of harmony and structure above. RHYTHM... how could I forget about the RHYTHM (I must have been in lala land thinking of Paris Hilton -- love her or hate her, at least she doesn't pretend she can sing)
Here's a golden oldie with a wicked bass line: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfKBqrpBVEs
and from South Africa:

If this doesn't get your hips swinging, nothing will

Both of the above songs are classics, and the first one is one of my favorites!
Oh yeah, I also like to listen to Rod Stewart!  |

Aaaah, now we're talkin' VF - I don't have to mention Maggie Mae but did you ever hear his 'Only a Hobo' (Dylan song) - I think it's on 'Gasoline Alley'...
Faces.. Small Faces.. Ronny Woods (now Stones) and Rod Stewart used to look like twin brothers.
Here's Iron Butterfly's Anthem |

OMG that IS a classic!!! Anything from Motown is... as far as Bass guitar influences that ranks up there for me. Miriam Makeba is awesome, I like Johhny Clegg as well. I don't remember if it was him or his partner in crime they killed recently...
I think today's pop and hip hop does itself a serious disservice by copying riffs from songs of the past, it's as if no one wants to TRY and be original anymore.
Right now I got a battle I am fighting at home hahaha (If Lolo sees this she will kill me)
Ok my daughter "Lolo" (not her real name obviously) is a chip off the old block. She can sing like an angel, and plays piano quite well. I am trying to teach her guitar now before she learns bass... but her voice in particular SHOULD BE RECORDED... she has the mimicry down pat to the likes of Alicia keys and other female R&B artists... but she REFUSES to let me record her!!!! I have everything in the house to record and produce her, yet she won't let me do it. Instead she sings all around the house andi n front of her friends at school. Even her family members (cousins, aunt's uncles, etc.) have told her she needs to get her butt in a studio and record something....
She recently started writing lyrics... won't let me see em, won't let me come up with music for em... how do I break her out of her shell? She knows she has talent, she just does not want to use it productively!
