:huh I'm sure that's a jab at my musical tastes, but whatever, nobody here gives credit to talented musicians. A couple of people on this board say s*** about DMB when I say I like them, I dont say s*** about everyone else's musical likes so how about just respecting my opinion and their musical talent instead of trying to be a smartass.

I don't care for DMB myself, but there's no denying they have loads of talent.

I'm over 50 so flame away. These are three favorite genres and my 5 favorite artists in each genre. Music has kept me from losing it at times and any criticism of an old man's choices are matched up against all the pleasure and good times the music has given me.

Faces

Eddie Cochran

Gene Vincent

Anything Brian Setzer

The Damned

Early Genesis

Early Marillion

Blind Willie McTell

Mississippi Fred McDowell

Hanoi Rocks

Lords Of The New Church

Dag Nasty

Sam Cooke

Smokey Robinson and The Miracles

 

 

But these are just off the top of my head. I don't think I could ever say ONE band (or even 10 bands) are TRUELY my favorite band. Much of those up there are just mainly influences. My playing style is such a combo of all of them..except for Marillion and Genesis. Those two are just freak occurences in my musical tastes. But there are too many bands over too many years to place anybody at the top, IMO.

I don't know what there is to flame. The artists on that list that I've heard, and I'm talking mostly about the rock group here, they are quality. And really I don't think about these threads as having to defend your choices so much as showing people what you're about and what has made you who you are today.

Pearl Jam. They were huge when I was in high school back in the early '90s. I still love their music.

 

I also love Metallica. I've seen them in concert at least three times and they're the best concerts I've been too.

White Stripes

Linkin Park

I've got some really wierd and varied tastes. I listen to a lot of rap and R&B. I don't really have a favorite in R&B, but I really like 2Pac when it comes to rap. I also like some classic rock, with The Rolling Stones, Creedance Clearwater Revival, and Aerosmith as my favorites. I also listen to a lot of salsa music, which sounds kind of wierd. I'm a big fan of DLG/Huey Dunbar and Marc Anthony.
