Location: Cicero, NY | Haven't seen this thread in a while and it's always good to hear if someone has uncovered a new talent (or re-discovered an old one) so, what's on your current rotation (current, retro, punk, folk...whateveh...it's all good).
I'm all over the board with:
Steely Dan
Matt Nathanson
Edwin McCain
Larry Carlton / Steve Lukather
Back Door Slam
And a little early Jackson Browne |

Location: Always beautiful canyon country of Utah | Me I discovered 8 shows of the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on Shout Music from Amazon so I am in hog heaven listening to and learning some of those songs from the concert section. Also #4 features the finest rendition of Arkansas Traveler (with Larry McNeely) to be found in this galaxy and possibly in the entire cosmos!! |

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | Hi, Everyone,
I listen to everything from Bach to Rock. I'm like Dan, I'd rather play than listen. I'm NOT a fan of heavy metal, death metal. or any other kind of, " metal", music. The metal in my body makes music on its own, please and thank you very much, when I least expect it, going through airport security, and such. Yikes! I grew up listening to Les Paul, and Mary Ford, on old 78 RPMs, from my grandmother. I got my guitar chops from listening to GC, The Beatles, etc, etc. I am a classically trained operatic tenor, who somehow ended up sounding like Neil Young? I am Canadian, eh? Nowadays, I listen to Contemporary Christian Worship/Praise Rock, or whatever they now choose to call it?! I still love old jazz standards, ballads, guitar, piano, and sax instrumentals, and yes, old country, and some classical music. I don't listen to rap, techno, or new/dubstep /dance music. " I don't dance, but I do play in the band."
Mike S.

Location: Canada | <p>Strangely enough, the music I tend to listen to is not what I like to/am able to play. I pretty much I only listen to music while I walk to work, and then I rotate through several albums or a collection of one artist several times until something I'm in the mood for something else. That can take a while with Beatles, Rush, or FZ. Last few days I have been going through David Bowie Platinum Collection.</p>

Strangely enough, the music I tend to listen to is not what I like to/am able to play.
Thankfully I am not limited to listening to only what I can play.
That might get old really really quickly. Repetitive too.
I was just listening to Bonnie Raitt and John Prine.
Now Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
(on Windows Media Player)
I often listen to Classical Music as background music.
NPR with no commercials.
Maybe I am getting old, but most "rock" radio stations suck nowadays.

Location: SW Mintsoda | For some reason, lots of Gordon Lightfoot.
And on the way home the other night, an obscure album (burned on CD) called "Ernie Sings, Glen Picks" - Tennessee Ernie Ford and Glen Campbell. Some great tunes and Glen plays both amazing rhythms and leads (with some subtle bass along for the ride - and that's it!). |

Location: When?? | I've been on a roll lately to digitize a collection of New Riders of the Purple Sage. Also collecting Doobie Brothers' live cuts (snagged a real nice South City Midnight Lady performance the other day). Must be a classic-era Bay Area kick I'm on or something. Also been collecting some Lissie and some Milo Greene for newer stuff.

Location: Flahdaw | I know this isn't a direct answer to your post, but I still tend to play songs that most everyone has heard before, thus I listen to mostly familiar tunes. Recently learned New York State Of Mind (Joel), Against All Odds (Phil Collins), I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt). If I play songs like this at a get together with friends, they all go "oh yeah". If I play something off the radar, I immediately start losing the audience.
Now I like to watch Youtube and listen to different people play familiar songs in different ways. Just learned a cool way to change up Pretzel Logic, a song I've been playing for 20 years. Now I play it better IMHO. Sometimes I'll search for "unplugged" versions of rock songs to get new ideas. |
