My Music

My Music...

Most of us listen to the stuff, and I'm no exception. As a matter of fact, I might go far enough to say that I probably listen to it more than most. Between my own musical adventures in middle school with my Tenor Saxophone and the various other facets of my upbringing, I've become quite addicted.

I can handle most types of music for short amounts of time. Some for longer, some barely at all. But I like to think I'm well rounded. Here's a brief list of some of my favorite groups. It's quite imcomplete, and for those that know me, you'll probably want to beat my head against the wall to add one. Please, feel free to contact me and do so.

If you don't know who this is yet, you should be shot. That picture is probably one of THE most common symbols to denote Pink Floyd. They've made many, many albums, and many people have tried to imitate their sound. Thankfully, they failed. There is only one Floyd, and while I don't like to say which is and is not my favorite music artist, these guys get it, hands down.

Yet another name. I realize not everyone likes these guys. I do. And I also realize that they lost alot of support when they made the napster scene. But I still love them. They make good music, and I like to listen to good music.

You know, I honestly don't think these guys got enough press. Of course, their song, 'Everything you want' got tons of airplay, but the other 60 songs didn't. I have all of their CDs, and I can listen to them all straight through. They have not, in my opinion, written an atrocious song. After buying the EYW CD, I couldn't believe how good it was. So I bought all the others on faith. I was not dissapointed.

Yet another band that I do not think got enough press. Comprised of young men, they only have one CD out. But they promise to be every bit as much as the bigger bands. Every song on this CD is good. A few speam to me personally.

Justin would probably kill me if I didn't put these guys on here. Another band that just did NOT get enough radio play. Manowar is Glam Rock at its best. Holding, for what it's worth, the world record for loudest band at 132 dB, there is so much talent in this band that it cannot be denied. Their bassist rivals, if not outdoes such greats as Less Claypool and Jasen Newstead. Their singer has a set of vocal chords on him that would make Led Zeppelin and Supertramp jealous. And their drummer? Well, he needs specialy created, stell re-inforced drums to play. Nuff said.

I have been informed that Manowar is NOT, in fact, Glam Rock. They are Power Metal. (Thanks, Justin...)

Yeah. There are other bands that I listen to. There's other music that I like. And I'm sure if you bug me long enough, I'll post a complete listing of what's in my CD case.

MP3s...Yeah. I have some. A few. (Grin) Well over 400, actually, but that's just between you and I. What I can honestly say is that I have never, repeat, NEVER downloaded a whole album unless I A. Owned it, or B. It was out of circulation. I'm not an advocate in any way of people cheating others out of money. If you like the music so much, go buy it. Credit the bands and their hard work. After you have the music, DL the hell out of the MP3s. And yes. I have Metallica MP3s. But I also have EVERY SINGLE ONE of their CDs.

Time to go back home!
