towerrat 0 #26 August 30, 2004 I can't believe none of you have mentioned Sublime. The self titled album and "40 oz. to Freedom" are two of the best albums I own. Ride the Lightening and Master of Puppets turned me onto a metal head, Blood Sugar Sex Magic changed the world. King Diamond "THEM" ate my brain....Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

AggieDave 6 #27 August 30, 2004 I doubt too many folks know what this is or what it actually means: Carl Orff: Carmina Burana It didn't change my tastes, since I already liked that style of music (actually, I can't think of any style of music I don't like atleast something from), but it did have an effect on my life.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

kingbunky 3 #28 August 30, 2004 i've kinda been stuck on 70's rock since forever, but in the early 80's when van halen became van hagar the new rock kinda went for crap. there were some bands/songs from the era that i still listen too, but i sorta lost interest in music in general.. then dwight yoakum came out with 'guitars and cadilacs' and steve earle came out with 'guitar town' and i went the county rock/rockabilly route for awhile. i still listen to some of the 'young country', but for the most part i listen to classic rock, and the blue man group."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

wingnut 0 #30 August 31, 2004 would have to say counting crows turned me onto mor mellow-er music away from my 14-17 year old heavy metal music and now O.A.R. is turning my tastes to a more upbeat jam rock.... stilllove it all though.. justnot so much into the hard stuff nowadays.... that is unless the mood hits me andi'll throw on some megadeath or anthrax.... ut that is prety rare.... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #31 August 31, 2004 Weather Report: Heavy Weather and Jaco Pastorius: Jaco Pastorius. As a beginning bass player, Havona and Birdland blew my mind and got me interested in jazz. Unfortunately I can't hold a beat to save my life, so the bass thing never went anywhere. But I still like jazz. Buddy Holly's Greatest Hits. Not only is it great music, but starting from rockabilly it led me to everything from motown to Elvis to doo-wop to psychobilly to bluegrass. The Word: The Word. I'm not a religious person and I never thought I would enjoy gospel until I heard this album. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #33 August 31, 2004 I'm not a big fan of the Weather Report's version of Birdland (well, the original). Have you heard M. Ferguson's version?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bergh 0 #34 August 31, 2004 Well I never really bother thinking about the effect that music had on my life but after thinking about it this is the results. I was raised on Lez Zepplin, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Deep purple, Ten Years after, Pink Floyd(There albums are musical experiences) and Dire Straits. I still love all of the above but I currently prefer stuff like System of a Down, Pixies, Deftones, Type O negative, Iron Maiden (They are truely classic) and Tool(Love there albums from start to finish which is something rare). and then there are some SA band Tweak Saron Gas(now know as Seether) Cutting Jade What I have noticed is that I generally associate all my friends by songs. I will hear a song an immediatly think of specific person_______________________________________ You are unique, just like everybody else ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #35 August 31, 2004 hmmm being a very young metal head most of what i'm seeing listed for Metal/Rock/ early Rock was kind of a 'given', it was always around, always been played by the people i hung with.... transformed?? that is a different set entirely...... Bitch's Brew, Kind of Blue Miles Davis Jaco Pastorious and Weather Report blasphemy Dave!! Charles Mingus... Charlie Parker... in Jazz i finally found music that 'turned of the metronome' in my mind..... Morphine & Tool since.....____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
