silvertrombone Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Geez...I don't know when the last corps recording I listened to was. Of course, everything I hear sounds like corps to me! Beethoven 5 and 9, sometimes 4. Prokofiev 1. Judas Priest, Angel of Retribution (cool stuff!). Mahler 1000. Almost anything Bruckner Mozart Requiem this weekend. Strauss Zarathustra and Alpinsinphonie. Berlioz, Harold en Italie--great stuff! There's a programme there that is just...horny, single 21-year old running around Rome. Tchaik 6--great programme there, too. Just, nobody else knows what it is! That's good for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoHmempho04 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I can listen to anything from classical to rap, but it has to be the kinda "rap" that has more than 2 measures of music behind a guy complaining about his life when he's richer than 85% of the people on this forum. XM radio has been pretty good to listen to for variety. If I had to pick a genre to listen to it would probably be classic rock from Kansas, Eagles, Queen, REO Speedwagon, Boston, Styx, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Lynard Skynyrd, Alabama, that kinda music.

Rusty Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 On my iPod you'll find, among others: Alison Krauss and Union Station (I used to say I'd listen to anything but country--I guess that no longer applies) Bela Fleck and the Flecktones Billy Joel Blue Man Group Brad (hum Pachelbel while listening to "The Day Brings"--if you must steal, I guess you might as well pilfer from the best) Creedence Clearwater Revival Daniel Bedingfield Danny Elfman (our generation's answer to Bernard Herrmann - ) Gary Jules (brilliant songwriter) Imogen Heap ("Hide and Seek," while gorgeous, tends to eclipse other tunes, especially "Daylight Robbery"--brilliant!) Jars of Clay Journey ("when the lights go down in the city...and the sun shines on the bay..." KT Tunstall Pillar Radiohead Styx White Stripes One other quick aside: if you are considering trying Radiohead, DO NOT GET KID A FIRST. An acquaintance was totally into the band, and at the time Kid A getting all sorts of attention, so I picked it up. Big mistake--not that it's necessarily a bad album, but if you don't have the background of their earlier stuff (particularly OK Computer), you're likely to find the band completely alienating. After Kid A, I didn't even consider Radiohead until In Rainbows, which I find absolutely fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Kid A, I didn't even consider Radiohead until In Rainbows, which I find absolutely fascinating. I think you're correct in that Kid A is probably not the best starter album when attempting to get into Radiohead, but I do think it is one of the most rewarding, especially after many repeated listens. I would say jump in with either The Bends or OK Computer. I started to say Pablo Honey, but it's just not as great all-around as some of their other work. I do LOVE Creep and Stop Whispering, however, from that album. I think the first Radiohead album I came to love was Kid A, though. It's hard not to love Everything In Its Right Place right from the beginning, and How To Disappear Completely is just stunningly beautiful. Advice to aspiring Radiohead fans: Don't touch Amnesiac or Hail to the Thief until you grok at least two of the more "mainstream" albums.
