[Question] Music & SongsWhat Artist, which song Do You Prefer? In what language?Do You Prefer Contemporary or Traditional Music? What kind of music do you prefer listening to? Do you prefer the type of music with a hidden meaning that you have to decipher, or do you like the kind of music that tells you straight out what the song is about? |

I listen to a lot of different types of music, from classic rock to alternative to jazz to house and techno (at times) to blues to ranchera, etc. I can't really get into this whiny emo music, and I absolutely detest the drivel they play on pop music stations. Give me some Zeppelin, Stones, AC/DC, Metallica, and G&R any day!
 
Lately I've been listening to the Verve box set, which is a collection of jazz standards sung my jazz greats, remixed and ready for the dance clubs. As for whether I prefer my music with hidden meaning or not, I'll have to say no. I'm a simple gal really, and when i wanna rock I don't want to have to overly think about it. |

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music. A few types of music that I listen to but aren't included below would be jazz, film music, classical music and klezmer. I should also mention that I've been listening some to that Ruben Blades record that my brother accidentally left in my apartment last time he was here a few months ago. Some kinds of "music" I cannot stand, like dansband (country western-influenced Swedish music) and techno. You're subjected to a lot of music of which much is crap. But thank goodness there is good music out there.
Here are a few examples: Primus. Robi Draco Rosa. Smashing Pumpkins. Candiria. Deftones. Zero7. Langhorns. |

I'm a rather ecclectic girl so I can listen to many kinds of music. I must say it depends on my mood and my company.

Ah, do you know Gainsbourg? I'm not a specialist of Jazz also I shall ask you to recognize the musical gender of "Requiem Pour Un Con" made by him
Musique merdique? Sorry guy, I love musics with Good songs, committed and intelligent text... Manu Chao-Clandestino: Manu Chao has made a new musical gender, he's admirated by many famous people as Robbie Williams: Me Gustas tu (Spanish&French) Desaparecido (Spanish) Mr Bobby (English) Sénégal Fast Food (French&Wolof) Bérurier Noir A cult Punk band, Bérurier Noir were loved by a generation of youth and feared by concert organisers for the riots that followed their shows. Vietnam Laos Cambodge nhan quyen (French & Vietnamese) Macadam Massacre Tryo-L'hymne de nos campagnes:A Hymn for our earth, yes, it would be necessary to think of little of our planet which suffers and a little make open eyes, stupid music? Other related artist Sinsemilia: And Ridan, Ulysse (mix poetic text of Joachim du Bellay named "Les Regrets" 1558) Diam's-La Boulette: Le mal des banlieues, before knowing how to criticize, it is necessary to know the real demands, the customs of this people. John Lennon-Imagine Simply, John is a famous english-man that I respect most. Imagine is a universal music. Rise against-Ready to Fall The English version of Tryo. Mc Solaar-Caroline Excellent music, a very rich text, complex, Mc Solaar is a virtuoso of this music style. Nouveau Western (Gainsbourg Song) InCh'allah Amadou&Mariam Extraordinary personalities, Amadou and Mariam are African singers of Bamako (Mali), managed to obtain the success all over the world and go out of the poverty, furthermore the both are blinds. They share the enjoyment, the savoir-vivre of Africa, rich music, etc.... Le dimanche à Bamako La Réalité Other singer, the famous Youssou N'Dour with Neneh Cherry, 7 seconds (English, Wolof & French) Other (North)Africans: Faudel, Cheb Khaled, Rachid Taha Abdelkader (Arabic) Je veux vivre-Faudel Serge Gainsbourg A very famous guy, a Poet, singer-songwriter, actor & director, the Picasso of music. L'anamour La Javanaise Je Suis Venu Te Dire Que Je M'en Vais A Gainsbourg Poetic text, IF (by Charlotte Gainsbourg & Etienne Daho): For the end, a movie music film named "A Stomp Odyssey", for me the best musical film never made: |

I'm not a jazz specialist either. I only know of Serge (but I listen to his daughter's music).
What are you sorry about?
Yep, he's something else! I think Clandestino is the only album of his that I've heard. I recall my sister listening to Bongo Bong all the time... Here's New Noise, by Refused. I used to listen to them a lot. I saw them live once here in my hometown. |

I think Irrintzi may have thought that your use of the impersonal "you" was directed at him:
(It was impersonal, right?) |
||||||
| Walker |
Oh... no, no, it sure wasn't. I only meant that there is a lot of bad music out there.
Yes, most definitely. Thanks for clearing that up! |
||||||
| Irrintzi |
Ouch  , in this case sorry Walker, forgive me....It was a lack of understanding 
Thank you Deborah. I shall pay more attention the next time! |

Well, actually, when I first read it, I also thought he was talking about you, Irrintzi (just for a few seconds, though). | ||||||
