Could the answer to this question just tell about your taste in music....or is it much deeper than that? Hmmmmm.....

Discussing extremes here. Who's music did you go bonkers over (maybe even become a bit obsessive),

Versus: Who did you dislike, just didn't get, or just couldn't get into....even somewhat to your own surprise!

example: Me: LOVE/OBSESSION:Beatles; Yes; Riders in the Sky;The Bobs.

Didn't "get": Grateful Dead. Phil Collins. Joni Mitchel (My wife's favorite, by the way). :huh:

The thing that got my playing guitar was a song by fellow Texan, Eric Johnson. the song is called "cliffs of Dover." I was totally obsessed with this song....memorized every note....and that's pretty much the reason I started playing the guitar. Jump forward in time 12 or 13 years....you guessed it, still can't play it!!! :blink:

Music that is less inspiring to me....or music that I just can't stand. Most anything by U2, Steely Dan, and Santana...I just don't get it.... :huh:

QuoteU2---your not into pissin and monin

that's about all I've seen Bono do.....what a jerk. He claims to be a "Christian" and really have his act together as far as what's important in the world. And then, as the good example he is to young people, get's on TV and drops an "F bomb"....while he's usually puffing on one of his little "cigarillos".....what a loser. :angry:

I was once a really big ABBA fan...ok, ok stop throwing stuff at me :o
I also used to like the Carpenters a lot...i said stop throwing stuff :angry:

Now days i can't say i have any strong inclination toward any performer/group but i tend to prefer full orchestral movie soundtracks or modern instrumental music and not surprisingly i like acoustic or classical guitar solos.

I don't think i could ever find any enjoyment with anything rap...

I think I'm the only person on the planet that doesn't care for:

Springsteen. Or Clapton (Since Blind Faith, and maybe "Layla"). Or U2.

I do like Sting, Jonny Lang, George Benson.... And I'm reeeealllly into Antonio Carlos Jobim and the Bossa Nova rhythm thing, so much so, that I think I'm gonna take some lessons. How's that for eclectic?

I have to throw out my favorites at the moment: Whiskeytown, Ryan Adams (mostly his acoustic stuff, although his electric stuff is pretty good) and the Jayhawks. I still listen to the Beatles, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, CSN&Y, and the Indigo Girls quite a bit. I love anyone who has good harmony, and good acoustic sound, no matter how simple. Most of the whiskeytown and Ryan Adams stuff is pretty basic, but it just sounds good and not over-produced. Jason.

Genius.... I wish he would lose the whole "screw the world" bit, but other than that.....true talent IMO

Ryan Adams' attitude does get old rather quickly, but his music is some of the best stuff I've heard in a long time.
