This might be a strange question, but what kind of music do vegers listen to?

Question

I have a preset answer in my head that I'd like to see if it's accurate.

What bands/singers/? Stuff like that I'm looking for. I'm not going to judge, just curious. I can go from Moody Blues to Motley Crue to Mat Kearney, Aerosmith to AC/DC to Augustana.

A good song is a good song regardless of the genre. What bands/singers do you vegers like?

micro--I lament that your answer is defensive.

*Looking all around the question and the answers*

Umm, what part said hippy?

"Paranoia the Destroyer" is a good song by Black Sabbath...it IS Black Sabbath right?

Black Sabbath?..The Kinks?

zytlady---not too uptight are ya?

Janet---hey I like a lot of the same stuff. I wasn't implying that anybody changed their musical tastes when the became a veger, more along the lines of what musical tastes became vegers. An innocent question except to those who are unusually uptight.

"We're not hippies"---who the hell said you were?

krister---I axed a longass answer question cause I know people like to tell other people what kinda music they listen to!!

Of course the terminally unhappy couldn't even get up for a good answer to an easy question.

Here is an example of the ternminally unhappy, neverending sourpuss:

"DUH IM VAYGUN. I don't listen to music. Radios are made with animal parts. And music travels through the airwaves and I think it's immoral to have music take up air that animals could be breathing.
p.s. Is that the proper answer you were looking for?"

jenny---of the music lists posted I like your's the best.

Hopefully, soon, you will unblock me, but until then, thumbs down and poof your post disappears from my sight.

shelly--Roger Whitaker? Durham Town? Yikes...LOL

Thanks to everyone who answered the question with positivity and shared their musical tastes.

To those of you who couldn't accomplish that, you've clearly seperated yourselves into another group.

Krister---maybe that Smashing Pumpkins album should have been called "Jenny Collie and the Infinite Sourpuss"?

dang it...that's supposed to be Jessica, not Jenny...sorry, Jenny.

Answer 5

I'm hooked on the music from the 60's and 70's mostly. I love the Beatles, the Byrds, the Stones...Simon and Garfunkel, tons of them. Not as big of a fan of motown, though.. but I like a few mowtown songs. ..

But my tastes are extremely varied. I also like Judy Collins, Karen Carpenter (Best female vocalist EVER), Roger Whittaker, John Denver (excellent songwriter), some of Michael Jackson's stuff from the 80's (before he became a plastic psycho)..

I like some modern stuff too... VERY select pop singers, and aLOT of modern country...no rap, hip-hop, or anything like that. NO Metal (EWWW)..

I also enjoy some classical.. depending..

I also consider Weird Al Yancovic a comedy god.

Currently my favorite songs:
Catch the Wind (Donovan..circa 1965)
How to save a life (???)) Just keep hearing it and love it.. no idea who sings it.. have to look it up.
Aerosmith- Dream On (the show Cold Case introduces me to alot of songs I've never heard, and some I fall in love with)
Because of You. (Kelly CLarkson and Reba)

Check back, because if I think of anything else I'll add it later

Yes, I would have made an excellent hippy.. well..except for the free love and drugs...

But not all vegetarians and vegans are hippies..

Oh I LOVE Enya too!!

and I have a special place in my heart for Willie Nelson's "Stardust" CD.. probably because it reminds me of road trips we took as a family (My Dad was a big Willie Nelson fan)

Mamas and Pappas were awesome too.. and Peter, Paul, and Mary...

Peace, Love, and Tofu!!

Answer 6

classic Rock besides. Jethro Tull Led Zeppelin Lynyrd Skynyrd Black Sabbath unfastened undesirable organisation Deep pink Tom Petty Fleetwood Mac Steely Dan Dr Hook Dire Straits doorways Rolling Stones sure Emerson Lake Palmer Robert Palmer Van Morrison Troggs

Answer 7

We'll listen to anything but Meat Loaf, Captain Beefheart and Phish.

Anyone who listens to Phish isn't a real vegetarian.

Okay, I was kidding.

I'm a part time musician and the first music I played was bluegrass, the last band I was in was ska and reggae.

I have tons of records; a lot of reggae, different kinds of country music, jazz, ethnic music from India and the Middle East. I'm collecting Jamaican mento records (it's kind of like calypso). I like the Beatles and Bob Dylan a lot. I don't listen to top 40 radio. The last concert I went to was Del McCoury (bluegrass).

I used to be a music major in college, I don't listen to "classical" much, but I like Bach, Wagner, Mozart and Vivaldi.

Answer 8

I like a little bit of most types of music, but mostly my tastes run to alternative. I go see Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Social Distortion and Bad Religion in concert any chance I get, but I have everything from Johnny Cash to the Police to Simon & Garfunkel to The Beastie Boys on my iPod.

Answer 9

My taste is pretty eclectic from Barenaked Ladies to Fountains of Wayne to Lush to Rilo Kiley to Tegan and Sara. I still listen to some 80s alternative stuff, as I came of age then.

So it's hard to define a music style for veg*ans as a group as we all listen to different things.

Answer 10

My musical tastes have always been pretty eclectic & going veg hasn't changed that @ all. I enjoy most genres including classical, jazz & '80's alternative, especially what my SO calls "old-school goth." More current favorites include the White Stripes & She Wants Revenge.
