Music That Fellow Forumers Enjoy

CrashMurphy wrote:When I was in high school, I used to say I liked Techno only because I didn't realize that it was just a sub-genre of Electronica. I figured Techno WAS all Electronica. Now that I'm more educated in the subject, I prefer Trance, House and Dance music. Techno just seems too "heavy" sometimes. I prefer the lighter feeling of the sub-genres I mentioned.

And then there's the standard staple of rock/college-rock/alternative bands that I listen to. I like some R&B, and I'll listen to some rap too but not a lot. Not a big metal fan either.

I am a huge fan of Leonard Bernstein, and I absolutely enjoy George Frideric Handel's work. I was exposed to the classical genera as a child, and as an adult, found that classical music actually boosts my brain power and stimulates creativity. Other forms of music only serve to fill my spirit with angst, anger, or sadness. So I feed my spirit only that which I feel enriches it, which is classical music. when I tell people I listen to classical exclusively, I usually get a strange look or a laugh, like I must be crazy. Alas, to each their own, what floats one's boat may not float another.

I do like a bit of classical myself. Though for my money I have to say I love Vivaldi if I am going to sit and relax. I know how that sounds but given the other musical tastes that I have I think you may be able to entertain your own assumptions of how Vivaldi can make me relax.

in the video game Saints Row for the 360 they have classical music and i have to say this .. this is better classical then any GTA game i heard i normally don't listen to GTA's classical station just talk shows ... anyways the game had Mozart and Beethoven along with some others i'm not aware of but some of the Beethoven and Mozart music was great some i didn't care for.... if only i had a way to find out the beethoven and Mozart songs i liked ( the titles ) i would tell you all


and about 3 years ago here in Canada a radio station CBC Radio 2 ( their's a CBC Radio 1 as well but this didn't have this show ) they had a 1 hour program called " After Hours " and i would listen too it sometimes on the way home and if a song was on i couldn't stand listening too i would turn it to something else but i would try and listen too it as much as possible and the DJ had a wonderfull calm voice and his voice was great to hear while listening to JAZZ on that station. and i was always interested in what he always used for a break cause they would play music for a bit and then he would come on and speak and then put another song on and then come out and speak and when the 11:10 - 11:15 mark came he would say ok we will be back after this news break and then we will be back with more of after hours with me the hose ( his name ) and then a tune would play for about 15 - 25 seconds and i loved the tune i later found out the song was called " El by Bugge Wesseltoft " it's a great no words just easy listening to sounds. shortly after the show came off the air which was on for about a good 20 years or little more but he was a oung guy so i know he wasn't always the producer haha.



sorry for the long chatter just thought i tell you my exeprience in how i got alittle more into Jazz and Classical. but one other group i have to mention that's pop, Jazz, and other types of music style rolled into one i discovered just after highschool about 5 years ago is called " Digable Planets " alot of people i ask they never heard of the group i know they are well known as they won a few awards i believe, i won't ramble on much more but their beats are good and it's what drags me in .. sometimes i don't really pay attention to their lyrics as the rythem and beats dragged me into listening to them more.


does anyone know any of these bands or groups i mentioned ??
