Pop and jazz music. Don't tell it to my black metal friends :) They will eat me alive. |

I bought George Michael's Listen without Prejudice after hearing him sing Praying for Time on American Idol. Great lyrics but the disk is for lack of a better word weirdly recorded. I don't know how else to describe it. It's sounds like hi-fi AM radio. There's a thinness to it that I've never heard before. It's sounds like something's missing. Some of the other songs are not bad but he should have done a lot better on production. |
Picked up Madonna's "Immaculate Collection" the other day at a record show, just to hear the Q sound effects. They did rather well on this one. Yes, I'll listen to her on occassion. I'll try just about anything once. |

I don't translate well in type either. I usually leave out the fine details.
Life is too short. |

No Problemo.
I'm a sarcastic person by nature, and I dont mean any harm.
It doesnt always translate well in type.
Peace to you.
BTW, I loved the movie Gran Torino and think its one of Eastwoods best ever. |
Mcgarick,
I went a little over the top.
Take it easy. |

Bagpipe Music?? I wouldnt know what to get. Any recommendations Joeylawn36111?
My dad was in the service, and he must have first heard it when he was stationed in the UK. So, I heard a lot of it growing up when he would play it on his stereo. Most of it is British Military band music. Units with names like "Royal Scots Dragoon Guards" and "4th Highlanders". |
I never called you or anyone a terrorist, your comments just brought it to mind...and I pondered it for a second for amusement.
Anyway,

Is calling me a Terrorist common sense and civility. Does that not go against your golden rule or is it okay for you but not others. Terrorist is a very strong word and very offensive to me.
There were other words exchanged at the time that cause me to act that way. I did not think I had to go into, like I have no taste in music, do you have to play that SH.. etc.
You may take it but I will not.
I did like it when Clint Eastwood pointed the rifle at them for going on his property. Oops he's probably a terrorist for doing that.
This is a waste of my time. Just tried to get a laugh not an insult. |
I can't really play any of the free jazz I love so much when my wife is home. Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, Coltrane's later recordings on Impulse, Albert Ayler...anything like that makes her crazy.
As far as rock goes, I have found nothing that clears out a room faster than Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band's "Trout Mask Replica."

Bagpipe Music. I don't listen a lot, but I do like it. ;) |
I think the Golden rule is applicable here,with a dash of common sense and civility. |
So in other words if someone does not like the music you play or something your doing on your property you should stop right there and then or your a terrorist?!!! |
I guess you showed them! stupid tenants.....
Clint Eastwood should had done that to his neighbors with the Guns and Roses song "Welcome to the jungle" in his Gran Torino movie.
Ya,maybe while sittin on his porch drinking beer,shouting "Your in the Jungle baby!!!" firing his gun into the air.
musical terrorism,hummm... |
A tenant from a while ago ask me not to play REO Speedwagon hi infidelity, I had only played it once. So I played it a few more times and load just for them. They never asked again.
If you like the music for any reason you should play it anytime you want. I even still like some disco and am not afraid to admit it. Donna Summers comes to mind. |
OK, here's one I like.
Kim Mitchell's "Go for Soda"
I know, pathetic... |
"Neil Sedaka "Laughter in the Rain"
LOL! |
Eddie Rabbitt's "I Love a Rainy Night" and "Drivin' My Life Away"
Neil Sedaka "Laughter in the Rain"
Rupert Holmes " Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"
Sweet "Little Willy","Ballroom Blitz"
Neil Diamond .... anything during his top 40 days.
*note* ..... none of these are my "all time favorite songs", just songs I like that won't admit in public. :) |
Ohio players..
Jive turkey |
There must be others too, spit em out! |
"Since you been gooooooone..." Yes, Kelly Clarkson is my secret shame. |
Minnie Ripperton
lovin' you
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA la-la-la-la-la lalolalolalala-lola
AHAHAHAHOHAH! |
I'm a huge Def Leppard fan, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. But I'm also the kind of guy who will pick up Tool, Sarah Brightman, Radiohead and Michael Hedges all in the same purchase. |
"The Monkees
Chuck Mangione"
LOL!
- "though my GF hates Rickie Lee Jones".

As far as my room clearing choices go:
early Phillip Glass (Northstar)
a fair bit of Frank Zappa's and Tom Waits' repertoire will usually do the trick
the first Feelies cd
half my Zydeco collection - nothing like fiddle and accordian to send them screaming from the sofa
the demented alt country band 16 Horsepower is an acquired taste, for sure
Many others, too. I listen anyway...screw 'em!

I like your post Chadnliz,
what you said is true of me too. Different music has it different enjoyment factors and you may not like aspects of it, like the lyrics say, but the power of the musics wonderful,and so on and so forth,Yes,well put. |
Liz and her kids and even my friends have finished laughing at me years ago as they now know I listen to some music for its lyrics, some for its musical power and some for its recorded quality. It took a few explanations to get everyone to understand and I bet they still may laugh and mock me in secret but I do think they get me. Actually I feel more inclined to explain some of my pop music to my audio buds way before the casual listener, audiophiles are just as guilty of judgement when it comes to mass market music...........but if Bob Dylan made most any song it would have instant cred, go figure. |
This evening, I listened to Simple Red's "Stars" album and thought it was well-recorded. I'm not admitting to being a fan though. Have only listened to the disc about 6 times in 15 years but just put it on today (the Transporter makes it easy to listen to stuff you never listen to) for something easy after work and thought it sounded quite good. The best I'd ever heard it. My latest system made the difference on that.
As an aside have you had that happen? That is, listen to a disc you never particularly liked on your latest system and find a good synergy that made you re-assess the disc. I've had that happen a few times since I put together my latest system. |
Room clearing...try Lou Reed "Live - Take No Prisoners" |
I've found that nothing clears out a room faster than Albert Ayler's "Live in Greenwich Village" LP. My wife runs screaming from the room when this one goes on. I have had few takers but that doesn't dampen my love for this music one bit. |
Simply Red.....I am so embarrassed! Good thing that when my system reach its final stages of refinement, these CDs were unlistenable for such compression! Huh? Picture Book is a very well recorded album - so they can't be all bad. |
Jb8312 , I use two cuts on Simply Red's Picture Book LP for reference's.Shame on me,I guess. |

Not listened to them in a while! |
Pamela's oratorio with Tommy's ensemble... |
The Jackson's "Destiny" album because I like to "dance, shout, and shake my body down to the ground"! |
I just purchased and listened to The Archies Greatest hits. |
Tom Tom Club-Wordy Rappinghood 12" version.
Now you are talking. |
Sometimes when I am alone in my home I sneak upstairs and pull out my 12" DISCO single play Lp's You can still find some of these on CD...."Flashback Faves" and "Retro Remixes" and such as Duran Duran "Strange Behaviour"...and yes the sound was awesome on those 12" singles and you can rediscover some of that magic on these CD's (I had a huge 12" 45 RPM collection in the days before CD's - and these sounded way better than how they mastered standard LP's - often huge dynamics - love the sound of most of those) Anyone who wants to dabble in this - simply download Grace Jones "Slave to the Rhythm - Hot Blooded Mix" from iTunes burn it to CD audio and queue it up....amazing sound even from a compressed file that makes a mockery of modern recordings! |

Big bass shake your bootie rap |
I don't play Yes around my family or friends because they would look at me like I'm crazy. Only a few people I've known have ever understood the genius of the seminal recording "Yessongs." |
What about 'be my girl, sally' by the 'Police'?
Now where's my pump? |
