See, creating a genre called "alternative" just aids the process - it gives society something to shoehorn insolent music into if it doesn't fit anything else.

Vangelis is NOT easy listening.
He started out as Jazz - I have the LPs to prove it, then he went techno/electronic.

There's nothing more exhilarating than opera aria turned up LOUD!!! oooo esp. in a covertible as one blastes down the hwy!!!

I'm listening at this minute Zamfir/James Last's "Lonely Sheperd" from the "Kill Bill" soundtrack.

There's a time for everything. Even Canto-pop.

then there's Cantonese or Pekinese operas!!!! There's a time for everything.

My latest album is Bubba Sparxxx "Deliverance." Oh, yeah, and the Dave Matthews solo, but new albums by people you already know don't count.

KShan5[PrFC] · 10-20-2003, 11:08 PM

I must say my two favprote styles of music and big band swing and rock. I like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Dave Matthews Band, Duke Ellington, and Aerosmith....so that puts me in other cuz of swing.

Cant stand Country. I call it "wrist cutting music"....if you play
it backwards your dog will come back, your wife wont cheat on
you and youre pickup truck will start every time. .....Oh yea!
And you will get your job back.

Cant stand Heavy Metal. It makes me think of heavy metal
scaping and someone running their fingers down a chalk
board.

Cant stand Rapp(hmmmm) is it one p or two? Its probably best
i dont explain why. It has nothing to do with race but it does
have something to do with crime and violence.

Cant stand busy jazz. Heard it one time in New York.
felt like there were bees in my face and the bees were on
speed.

Opera music which would be in the Classical section is ok
except when it sounds like a funeral march.

Piano is fine except when you find your head throbbing to the
individual sound of each key.

I guess thats enough for now.

I generally like anything with good guitar in it.

American finger style guitar - i.e. Leo Kottke, Pat Donahue, etc.

Eagles, Beatles, Charlie Daniels - unfortunately, all my favorite bands are played by the "Golden Moldies" stations, now. Jeez, who is that old guy in the mirror?!

I hate most country music - or "loser music" if you prefer. They're always losing something (truck, wife, dog, their beer, etc.). I have found that after having kids of my own, country songs about kids choke me up (Butterfly Kisses, Angels in Waiting, etc). Having kids makes you weak. Must be pheromones.

As to opera - I remember the gist of one composer's statement that sums up my opinion. "How wonderful an instrument is the human voice -- especially when it is silent". Don't remember who said it.

Rap reeks.

Some pop is OK. Michael Jackson was terrific as long as you don't think too hard about who's singing.

You guys are really talking about "country-western", not true "country".

I like country ( think Earl Scruggs, Tennessee Ernie Ford, older Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton, et. al. ) and I like western,which is actually cowboy music ( Sons of the Pioneers, Marty Robbins, Gene Autrey, etc. ). I loathe country-western, however, which has taken on all the worst components of both and the best of neither.

Well, aren't we optimistic?

arcon · 10-24-2003, 01:02 AM

Easy listening can be m,any things. I use his music as relaxation music. Listen a bit to the 1492 or the Chariots Of Fire soundtracks, or the single 'Hymne'. You'll see.

Pop!! Christina Aguilera is where it's at!

damion18d · 10-26-2003, 11:48 AM

uuhhhh NO!!!!!!!

Nusy,

My fav Vangelis is his "Opera Sauvage" which was a soundtrack for a French Documentary. Try it, you'l like it. It's much, much better than the 2 you named.

---)-----------

Rap is NOT music.

My last CD purchases were:
~The soundtrack to "Kill Bill" which led to
~"The Best of Santa Esmeralda" whose re-do of the Animals' "Don't Let me be Misunderstood" was used in the slaughter of the 88 in the movie
~Ronnie Earl's "I Feel Like Goin' On" which I'm listening to as I write this. Tracks 7, 9 & 11 are my fav.
~ Sting's latest.
I listen to the extracts of "La Boheme" in the car. The chords where Mimi dies is, IMHO, the most heart-randing, touching chord in the whole of Musicdom.

If you do not like funereal music, then don't listen to any operas by any German composers. Listen to the italian or even the French ones. German operas are deadly. The Ring Cycle included.

On the [Richard Wagner's] Ring Cycle, you should listen to the parody by Anna Russell "Analysis of the Rings of the Niebelunngen" : whereas can you find incest and patricide acceptable in popular culture? Only in high operas.

What, not even Mozart's?

"The Magic Flute" and "Figaro" and "Cosi fan Tute", funereal?
