different music

<font color=blue> Some of these big rock band drummers think they're something; I wonder how they'd hold up if they battled against Krupa and those guys???</font color=blue>

They'd have a snowballs' chance in you know where!

There are some good drummers around still, though.. I'm thinking Jack DeJohnette, Bruford, guys like that. The best musicians, in my limited experience, end up in jazz. Never cared much for the guys who just read sheet music and faithfully reproduce every note on the page. I like the guys who go out on stage every night and take chances.. stretch themselves, and who *listen* to every note everybody else is playing and respond to it. Now *that's* music, to my ears. Then again, I agree with Bird.. nothing like a well-done 4 part harmony!! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I don't like the subscription part ... nor the constant reminders that either or both might just fold ... which has kept me from more closely investigating. Quite a few of the folks on the GL1800 (new Gold Wing) board have reported installing them.
My question, though, is about the variety. Do they actually play a real (and changing) variety ... or are they like the commercial stations that endlessly repeat the same stuff?

Class of '82. I was born and grew up in Orangevale, right off of Hazel, near the county line where it turns to Sierra College.Been within 25 miles of there my whole life/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

My High School favorite was Journey.

That is a big thing to admit, seeing Barry Manilow/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

I have not kept up with music too much the last few years. We have an ok cd collection, and tend to listen to it more than anything else. Local radio is so commercial now, especially in the mornings with talk talk talk. So, I tend not to hear anything new. I really like Jazz, but the selction here is poor, and the wife tends to push it aside.

I remember a Journey drummer being replaced, and he thought it was ok, since he could get back to his Jazz roots.

It is amazing what some of the guys could, and still do on a small drumset. All those gizmo's that some people use just don't replace pure skill.

YEP: WAS going to mention that but figured nobody would remember it, it was a great intro, at least i think so! but as someone else mentioned eariler we all think the music of our youth was the best. but a good drummer is a good drummer, no matter the generation.

Here's what my wife calls my most recent schizophrenic play list: Rush, "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, Kodo Drums, Nirvana, Vivaldi, Stever Earle, Jewel, Limp Bizkit, God Smack, Enya, Dixie Chicks, Jr. Brown, Bob Rivers -- Twisted Tunes (e.g., "Walkin' 'round In Women's Underwear), Abba, Queen, Yard Birds

Haven't figured out which one goes best with bush hoggin' -- I'll let ya know.

I'm kind of late to this thread but it's been fun reading it /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif My tastes are varied but mostly country-pop. I LOVE Trick Pony and just heard the concert we were going to attend in Feb. was cancelled /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif. Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, Dixie Chicks etc. are my "routine" listening favorites. Drive time though is NPR if I can pay attention to it (no one else in the vehicle). Evening listening will depend on my mood but it ranges from the country stuff to Eagles, Enya, Bach, David Sanborn, George Winston, Journey, Styx, Def Leopard, Boston, Head East, Outlaws, REO Speedwagon, etc. (college days). I actually like about everything but rap. My problem is remembering something I hear long enough to buy it. Saves me a bundle in music purchases /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

That was my dilema too. If you read the "mp3" thread.. my recent "fix" for this is, I brought in a bunch of cd's into work and converted them all into mp3 format. I'm now tinkering on making a couple cd's out of the mp3 files, however, I need to get a cd/mp3 player so I can plug it into my pro ears.

The good part?

My first cd has 151 different songs on it. I have no idea what that relates to in time, but I put a smattering of everything on there. Now that I'm slowly figuring this deal out, I will likely bring even more cd's in from home and fine tune this process.

Sure beats having a single cd playing over & over & over.
