Music What Are You Listening To?

OUCH!

The Chili Peppers are great, along with the Cult, Janes Addiction, anything Frank Black. Country is not my cup of tea either.

Would that be modern country or say older country? I feel as if we have had this discussion before?
 
Sounds good but i really have no idea as I still listen to only old country so no idea what modern country is other than bad! From what little I know anyway!

It's like everything else in life, not everything is 24k, most of the time you have to sift through it all to find the good stuff. Here's a technique I use. If the tune doesn't "grab" me in the first 30 seconds or less, I click "next". Do I miss some that might develop well later in the tune? Sure. But I get all the "grabbers". Which is what you really want.

Lamont let me ask you, who are your favorite country artists?
 
With the caveats that I don't listen to much country, and that I am usually more about the song than the band, I'd have to say The Mavericks. Considered new country. Raul Mallo's voice is the equal of Roy Orbison IMHO. Past that, Dwight Yoakum.....there was a guy named George Ducas who had a good self titled album with the hit "Lipstick Promises", back in the mid-90's, but his career as a performer never really went anywhere after that, he did better as a writer IIRC. But you can see all this stuff is from 30 years ago.....so is it all old country yet? ;-)

I like Dwight Yoakum as well, the mavericks also. but to me my favorites are older yet, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, the Oak Ridge Boys, George and Tammy. Listen to Tammy Wynett’s tell I make it on my own and tell me you can’t hear the pain in her voice!
 
Tie between between these 3 for favorite.. Nobody has ever come close to the sound of the original lineup.
Vince completely lost me, after dumping the band...and lost his creativity after getting clean. Good for him, bad for the original band
and original fans.

Just received this CD, but haven't had time to listen yet. Who knew Sabbath's drummer had 3 solo albums? I love weird stuff....

 
My favorite VH album. No covers, and by far the darkest and furthest exploration of their sound. They were hittin' on all eight cylinders at this point.
