Houstonrush Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Country, Jazz, and Blues only. I do not like anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmancuso Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 favorite band is rush. i'll listen to just about anything, classic roc, prog rock, metal, electronic/house, jazz, blues, some hip-hop, some alternative, classical & ambient. what i can't stand is country that is really 'twangy' sounding and most newer hip-hop (1997 and later); especially the crap that sounds like it is played in slow motion and the voices are all gurbled up.

editor Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I'm kind of all over the place. I still listen to my 80's music (R.E.M., The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode), but in the last couple of years I've started listening to classical and some 40's swing music. When iTunes came out, I started listening to some old 20's music, and I kind of like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 WHEN I listen to music, I tune it to 104.1 or 96.5Otherwise, I listen to KTRH or KPRC and scream at the radio. Ricco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 It kind of changes. I have a lot of instrumental surf music which I love. Some classical, and James Bond soundtrack music of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hate to tell you this, Montrose.... but they make no bones ABOUT playing POP music. It's a top-20 station. My kid calls, "The Arrow" an "oldies station." Would you perhaps like a world station? Then get sirius. Ricco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probibly brake it. C.D.s are my radio stations, as well as downloading and burning... (Illegal, Yes, Better then FM, AM, and XM? YES!)

J.A.S.O.N. Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Houston underground hip-hop, 70's and 80's r&b, lately though I've been listening to Latin jazz- Cuban especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houstonrush Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 You couldn't give me any more detail then that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL ok then, Alison Kraus, Keith Whitley, Brad Paisly, Geroge Strait, Billie Holliday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitz, Charlie Daniels, Alabama, Conway Twitty, David Kersh, Dolly Parton, Doug Stone, John Anderson, Martina McBride, Tracy Bird, Trace Atkins, Travis Tritt, Wayde Hays, Walyon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and on and on and on. I do not like any of the Houston country stations, they all are horrible. They only play top 40 country. KILT every now and then will pay some older stuff. But, the Houston stations only play what is very hot and popular. They never play the cutting edge new stuff or the very old stuff. When I go home to Louisiana I will hear a song and will fall in love with it but will not hear it in Houston for a good month or two months.

20sGirl Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Roxy Music circa 1974, 1970's David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust, PJ Harvey, Siouxsie & the Banshees (80's NOT 90's), Duran Duran (I admit it.), Pink Floyd, Air, Iggy Pop, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Jam, Bauhaus...you know...oldies. I would love to broaden my horizons with some new (but GOOD) music- I just don't have the time to seek it out. (But now I've got a whole list from Montrose 1100 to check out) Although, the library has been very handy in letting me check out new music without committing to buy. But I would never illegally burn anything. Sorry but radio here sucks. I guess the Rice station (91.7) is OK and KPFT can be good at times. I'm somewhat of a commie so I enjoy their talk shows and sometimes they play pretty good world music. They used to play really good Texas music (not country) but they don't anymore. I just can't get into the pop music of today- it all sounds so manufactured. It could be generational, I'm sure my parents thought my music was ____ too.

Montrose1100 Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 I like meaningful lyrics, and piano is good!! If its a beat off of a key board, and 2 sentences being repeated over and over, is not what should be popular music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincoRanch-HoustonResident Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Rap and Hip-Hop for me, so that would be mostly 97.9 and 104.9. I also like Magic 102.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Believe it or not, I was raised listening to and playing piano: Beethoven and Bach at first, and as I got older I was infatuated with Liszt and Scriabin. I still play almost daily, and have also found Scarlatti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 2112, such a gentleman of culcha! I, too, grew up with classical music (my mother taught piano). Although I was given lessons, my piano forte was playing by ear. (Pause for groans...) Mostly I enjoy playing ragtime, boogie-woogie, blues - pretty much anything that would sound appropriate in a whorehouse. My piano formerly had the player attachment, but it was neutered before I obtained it. It dates from 1923 and suffers from arthritus and Alzheimer's, but the case is pretty. Alas, it's no Steinway; it's a Johnson (insert your own joke here). Fully agree about music from the late 70's-mid 80's: Blondie, Elvis Costello, B-52s, English Beat, Go-Gos, Yazoo, The Smiths will never grow old.

dbigtex56 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Finally got my model B Steinway in 2000. Its almost as good as sex, in my opinion.Are you a girl? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Had a friend back in Rochester who had a Steinway grand from the 30's - nicest piano I've ever played. For you non-pianists, it's like the difference between driving a Porsche or a Yugo. Also, it had the Aeolian Duo-Art reproducing piano attachment, and rolls of George Gershwin, Fats Waller and Scott Joplin playing their compositions. What a revelation to hear their music as it was intended to be played. One complaint about Steinway: they shouldn't sully their name by putting it on those upright pianos. My mother bought one 35 years ago, and it's had a mulitude of problems - keys stuck, pin block seperated, and an obnoxiously brilliant tone. And alas, I'm not a girl - even on my best day.

bachanon Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 this week i'm listening to: The Shaman, Deep Forest, Depeche Mode, Squirrel Nut Zipper, Everything But The Girl, Green Day, Good Charlotte, Chopin, Annie Lenox, Johnny Cash.BTW, the Annie Lenox/Sting concert was AMAZING!!!! at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in September.
