| Myself, I'm into progressive rock, like Dream Theater, Yes, Spock's Beard, etc. Dream Theater is probably about my favorite band right now. Extremely talented musicians and songwriters (Check out "6:00" or "Erotomania" for great examples of their work). But just about anything in the progressive vein gets my juices flowing :D
I also love jazz, like Chick Corea and Allan Holdsworth, and blues (SRV!!). A guilty pleasure of mine is also Power-pop type stuff, like Ben Fold's Five.
What's your current fave? |

Welcome, just saw the picture of your guitar and am impressed. I have a Viper and wish I could afford more solid bodies . I am into bluegrass and country because that's what I know how to play, so I'm getting my opinion in here early. You should get some other opinions shortly and don't refrain from speaking your mind here.

| Well, I should note that I only found that picture online. My actual guitar has a deeper red cherry burst, and (unfortunatly) has some wiring trouble; it crackles every once in a while, and the neck pickup's volume pot you sometimes have to tap for it to kick in all the way :( The guitar was all like that when it was given to me, and I can't find a guitar tech I trust enough to fix it. Ah well. |

Location: NJ | I tend to like all types of music from the allman brothers to zappa.
I tend not to like some of the new bands like Corn and limp bisquick. I like some of rage against the machine but hate their politics. sublime offspring things like that are kinda cool. On the acoustic side leo kotke, richard thompson, keaggy, preston reed, matt smith, california guitar trio, there are a host of others I just am drawing a blank right now.
I usually play rock with some jazz and blues leanings.... |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Hmm this is always a thought provoking topic. What I listen to is quite different than what I play. What I play is more "based" on what I listen too.
Lets see...
- Blue Oyster Cult
- Stone Temple Pilots
- Faith No More
- Harry Chapin
- System of the Down
- Inxs
- John Denver
- The Carpenters
- Queen
- Styx
- Journey
- The Police
- Cheap Trick
That should be enough for now. |

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | this is a tough one. i went to the cd rack to see what we play allot and it includes everything from old ludwig (the 9th still blows my hair back) to robert johnson. it really is a mood thing. i'm not crazy about rap and don't own any of that music that seems to capitalize on gangs and violence. i particularly like vintage rock and guys like "slowhand", stevie ray and hendrix are right up there too.
and even though we have opera cd's i almost never play them (my wife does). most of it reminds me of people putting on their clothing before checking for scorpions. actually, the copper bras are pretty cool, if they were hanging on something that didn't weigh 280.
cliff----do you have mule variations by tom waits? get behind the mule is a favorite cut for that funky waits style. he is truely unique.
music is the universal language. i like most all of it. |

I like those too, and in there you mentioned The Band, last night I watched and taped "The Last Waltz" on AMC. They showed it straight through with no commercials, it was really great. They are showing films all weekend with musical themes.

Those were the best dives I'll ever remember, the first are the best. CMT called her the number one lady country star in this weekend's 3 hour program on the top 40 ladies.

Kinks/Ray Davies (Ovation player), Beatles, Pink Floyd, Barenaked Ladies, U2, Nirvana, Green Day, Clapton, Queen, Tull, CSN&Y, Aerosmith. No Rap, C or W. |
