Not bike related really ..... but I wondered what people are currently listening to. Is still all Saxon and Judas Priest ?:D

I'm a bit of a fanof 60's/70's soul and funk. I've been driving around today listening to the best of Etta James ..... it takes you from early 60's r&b ..... to late 60's gritty funky soul. Great, great voice she has!

Most recent listening for me is: Zappa, Camel and a little Todd Rundgren. I listen to all sorts, from Tori Amos to Yes.

Joss Stone, Katie Meluah and Norah Jones' new(ish) album. And then of course, Gary Moor, Tom Jones reloaded and Jools Holland. Mellow moments, Mahler, Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin. Ok, so I have a lot of free time.

Fountains of Wayne, Maroon 5, Athlete, The Coral, some Green Day and a bit of Billy Bragg thrown in for good measure.

For a very cool music related website have a look at http://www.musicplasma.com/ Type in the name of an artist and it throws up some suggestions for stuff you might like.

Black Eyed Peas to get funky, Toto for the quality listening time and anything classical (Vivaldi is a fave) to wind down. Broad tastes? Yep:P

good choices on music and equipment, enjoy massive attack.
seen all the other but actually not a huge fan of massive attack overall; but unfinished sympathy is superb.

Hi Fly? Is that what you said...pardon?

After years of standing in front of Ampeg, Marshall, Trace Elliot and Eden's finest bass rigs, averaging around 400 watts, and standing to the left hand side of a loud drummer with a crash cymbal next to my right ear, I couldn't tell you hi-fi if it bit me...

But what's in the player....

For nostalgia...Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Early Genesis (ie: with Peter Gabriel), Yes, Frank Zappa, Mahavishnu Orchestra, UK and Bruford

More recent stuff...Red Hot Chili Peppers, Feeder, Stereophonics, Nickleback, Dave Matthews Band...like a bit of Green Day as well, Most of Peter Gabriels solo stuff, Blue Aeroplanes

Got a soft spot for folky stuff so... All About Eve, Eddie Reader, Afro Celt Sound System, Davy Spillane, E2 .. and Joni Mitchell is superb for her musicianship and lyrics...especially the "Shadows and Light" live album featuring the late, great Jaco Pastorius on bass (every bass player should worship him....I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy)

Stuff that moves me...Almost anything by Sibelius, Mahler (especially the 'Ressurection' symphony), Vaughan Williams, Gorecki, love the harmonic structure of Aaron Copeland's stuff, and Samuel Barber...the famous "Adagio for strings" (can you believe he wrote something as profoundly moving as that when he was only 26?) but his symphonies, violin and piano concerto's are damn fine as well.

hmm ........... hi-fi, I used to be quite into separates, at the entry level:

Nad & Marantz Amps
Marantz CD
Kef Speakers
Dual Turntable

Now though, I've gone for something that retains some quality but is smaller and fits in better in my living room:

Teac 300 reference mini separates (CD, CD recorder, DVD, Minidisc, Amp)
Blue Room Minipod speakers
and an Audio Technica Soundburger to play the vinyl on.

Had "Since You Been Gone" on 7" cranked up the other day. I've got to say though, I was more of a punk boy in my youth!

Etta James eh-what a voice, been listening to the late great Albert Collins lately-for those that know him you can recognise his fingering from one chord, also been playing Ry Cooder a lot lately. If Im feeling classical, bit of Mahhler, Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss, Prokokiev-my tastes tend to be from Mozart to Madness.:lol:

Yeah, Pantera - I had a ticket to see them in Sydney too. Unfortunately I had to go dig holes for 2 weeks in various locations around the beautiful country side in Aus in 32 degree plus heat, .. and clean my rifle, and go on patrol, and do gun picket ... damn Army .. no wonder I was a bit angry then!

Wasn't really into any of the others although I *may* have listened to the odd Poison song ....

When I was listening to Pantera there was some Nine Inch Nails but a few less edgy indie type bands - Green Day, Nirvana, Pearl Jam but there was always that undercurrent - I liked a good guitar like you'll find in some Smashing Pumpkins tracks (when Billy Corgan wasn't feeling too mellow), GNR ....
