what"odd" musical tastes do you have?

Question

People often get surprised when they hear that i'm really a big fan of traditional blues and country music since i'm in my mid twenties. I like it because 'as Ray Charles said it' of the stories of love picking you up knocking you down and picking you up again. Whats your "odd" taste and why?

Answer 1

i like zydeco music from the "big easy", as-well-as techno, metal, jazz, big band

Answer 2

I don't know... Is it "Odd" for a 30 something to like old crooners and jazz singers? I love Frankie (ole blue eyes) I adore Bing Crosby and I am an absolute freak child for anything Cole porter who happened to coin the very modern phrase "whatevah." (among others) He was way ahead of his time in lyrical satire and intelligent melody lines. I love Etta James and Dinah Washington and will " Go to coney and eat baloney on a bun." anytime! I think that king of music from that era is amazing and poignant and meaningful. It brings back a troubled time (not unlike now) when there was war and threat of war and people came together and became a nation... I love the art deco era!

I also love Japanese music the 12 girls band is amazing! But anyone who knows me knows I am a freak for anything Asian, Japan in particular.

a million. I grew up listening to the oldies station that my mom continually had on it the vehicle So at an early age: soul, motown, doo-wop, bubble gum rock, British invasion. 2.

The early 2000s got here and that i in my opinion dropped out of recent music altogether, rock, rap, pop, i presumed all of it grow to be sucky. So I only delved deeper into the 60s-80s and metallic. 6. Then the later 2000s got here and that i nonetheless concept maximum stuff sucked yet then I got here right here and started fairly looking into the overdue 70s early 80s timeframe besides as blues (which I liked this time after an in the past attempt interior the early 2000s that have been given me nowhere). someplace in there I have been given into lifeless Kennedys and then early 80s punk. i'm thinking 1998 or so.

Answer 4

When I was in college, I'd get my next-door neighbors mad because my music would literally switch from Black Sabbath to Beethoven to Bob Marley - all one after another.

The radio show I do now tries to continue that kind of mixture (though I don't believe I've played any classical music... yet). I believe that all genres of music can co-exist together. I really believe that radio listeners want a little challenge - so why not throw in some Rahsaan Roland Kirk every once in a while between album tracks from Fleetwood Mac or Kansas?

Answer 5

I am into like totally different types of music. For example, on my MP3, I have like Panic! at the Disco, Damian Rice, The Killers, All American Rejects, Coldplay, Blink 182 and so on- popular rock music from now.

I can listen to all different types of music, from rock to classical, pop to r and b!!!

Answer 6

It's not odd to me, but to others, my friends and family find it odd that on one homemade mix I can go through the emotions of Marvin Gaye, Pattsy Cline, Bruce Springstein, The Shins, Chevelle, Rufus Wainwright, and Sara Evans. I love my mix taste in music and I embrass finding more hidden gems that were previously unknown to me. I'm not huge on modern Jazz and Blues, but the 1940's definatly produced memerable acts in those catagories. Good question, fun to answer.

Answer 7

I was a big metal head in high school - still love it but I also love Neil Diamond. He has a voice that is very easy to listen to! I've also discovered that I like Garth Brooks and Hank Williams, Jr. There is just so much awesome music out there and so little time to listen to it all.

Answer 8

I am still searching the universe for a fellow fan of an obscure Scottish group called The Vaselines (they went bust after one album).

I am generally a jazz illiterate, but am deeply into Ornette Colman, which makes me a jazz idiot savant, I suppose.

One of my iPod playlists combines Noel Coward, Sammy Davis Jr, Jeff Buckley, Clifton Chenier and Aphex Twin.

Answer 9

Paganini
-simply incredible (Itzak PErlman does a nice job of playing)
Paganini was the Muhamad Ali/Bobby Fischer of violin music, the first person to bring big money to the field


Lou Reed-
is Lou Reed (Dirty Boulevard as played on Letterman 20 years ago) ... deep poetry

Answer 10

Answer 11

I enjoy listening to Mongolian throat singing (my friend's father is adept) and my favourite sound is of the Morin Khuur. This instument is shaped and played like a cello but only has 2 strings made from horses' hair. It has a horse's head on top and It is often called the Horse Violin . It's sound can be very sad .Me & my friends often cry when we listen.
