What\'s in your player?
 

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.

Ant music :bouncy:

"this month i have been mostly listening to SLAYER"

Gotta be The DARKNESS!

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.

Jet in the van...............Nickleback(?) in the car and 50mm Termis @11000 rpm on th ebike :smug:

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

Bee gees..... osmonds...... bay city rollers..... slade....:frog:

U2....60' jukebox classics.....LOTR soundtrack.....and one for the ladies Robbie;)

Jet...Snow patrol...the darkness ...the strokes AND Keane in the car.
When the kids are not there a bit of Muther effin 50 cent!

In the player in my classroom I am mostly playing India Irie Norah Jones and Eva cassidy.;):P;)

Lisa, if you like 50 Cent, check out "50 Pence" ... available on MP3 through your nearest file sharing application!

ac-dc, puddle of mud, harry connick jr and the rolling stones.....

Could go on all day but I'll narrow it down to Metallica, Disturbed, Incubus and a bit of Norah Jones :sing:

And just as important, what is your player?
I use Arcam amp & CD, Rega turntable ( for my old 70,s rock records) and Ruark speakers.
Anybody else into proper Hi Fi?

no one here into 'dance music' of any description apart from me? :(

My player? 256Mb CoolTrax MP3 player here :D

Couldn't waste any money on hi-fi equipment when it all goes on the bike!

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.

Currently running through some Joss Stone, Soulman albumn, JET and Muse.
But if there is one thing I will always have at my disposal is some Jamiroquai.
Hell, it got so bad at one stage my mates were calling me Jimiquai :bouncy:

chillis, no doubt, alanis morissette, garbage, pink floyd (wall, dark side, wish you were here) the prodigy, robbi williams live.......... and a few others on the Samsung Napster YP-910GS 20GB MP3 Player

Nad & Marantz Amps
Marantz CD

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!
