Hey folks,
I was wondering what kind of music you bald guys listen to.
I for one enjoy Jazz music - Joshua Redman and Yellowjackets being my current favourites -, classical (baroque), 80s music, such as The Smiths, Depeche Mode etc., and Cuban.
I also like The Doors and The Beatles.
Sometimes, if I'm in the right mood (and providing all windows are closed) I also put on an old Jackson 5 record. ;D
All right, over to you...

Great thread Harry!
I listen to a lot of different country artists, but some of my recent favorites are Montgomery Gentry, Big and Rich, Johnny Cash, Travis Tritt, Moonshine Bandits (sort of country rap), Railbenders, Dierks Bently, Garth Brooks.
I also listen to rock artists such as Kid Rock, Rage Against the Machine, Papa Roach, Sublime and a bunch of southern rock artists.
If I'm looking to listen to a lighter set of music, I'll throw in a mix of Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Jimmy Buffet, IZ, Andrea Bocelli, and Sinatra.
-
Hey Tyler,
nice musical repertoire you've got there. Regarding the "lighter music" you mentioned: Sinatra's great, but Tony Bennett...now THIS guy is SLY! We should consider inviting him to join our club, even though he's not bald - as an honorary member so to speak...

I listen to quite a variety. Anything from Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, the founding outlaw fathers. To Metallica, Aerosmith, Primus, Reverend Horton Heat. Willie Nelson the Americana genre. I enjoy several of the bands and singers in the Texas/Red Dirt music movement too. There are really too many artists too list that I listen to.

I am a part of the music industry (Head of Security/Stage Manager) for various bands. I have met many acts at some local concerts, having worked as V.I.P. Security for Iowa's largests Rock station, Webmaster and Security for Hairy Marys (a live music venue known all over the world). I own 1000's of CD's and MANY are personally autographed by the bands. I am known as Yeti, of course hehe. I am working for the band "Index Case", who I will be going on tour with a little later this year, and you may hear something about them soon, as a new Universal signed artist. I am also a personal friend to Slipknot's members, since we all are Iowa boyz. 8-) They will be going back out probably next summer, as I hope to assist them this tour (so Paul tells me too hehe woot!). As far as the musical genre's I listen to, its vast. I am a huge movie and music lover. I love HARD STUFF, Blues, Reggae, Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock, Classic Rock, Rap, Punk, RnB, Jazz, Folk, good ole country (Willie, Waylon, Hank, Johhny, etc.), most everything except this new age Country and Opera. 8)

I agree enthusiacticly on the "New Age" country crap. Me no likey.

-
I'll check 'em out.
Thank Tyler!
-
I'm a huge parrothead, but I like all types of music... some of the new rock (The Killers, Lit, etc) is great, and can't go wrong with classic rock either!
-
I listen to all kinds of music, but mostly hard and heavy rock. Van Halen is my all time favorite band and I actually got to be onstage at a Sammy Hagar show over the summer! Incredibly cool. I have pictures too! My favorite new band of the moment is Black Stone Cherry. I'm really digging the new record.
-
I listen to HipHop both old and some new stuff....mostly stuff from the South..., I listen to a lot of Screw, I love Jazz but am a traditionalist (Miles, Trane,Parker,Armstrong,..and the like....) and I have a special place in my soul for Billie Holiday .., R&B (both new and old but more oldies),
Blues (cats like Charley Patton, Lemon Jefferson, Willie Mctell,Son House,John Hurt) and I like some of the electric Blues stuff but still on a traditionalist level ( Howling Wolf, Fred Mcdowell, a young B.B. King, Bobby Bland ) and cats like that ,
Reggae both Roots and Dancehall, I like Soca and some African stuff as well as some Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian sounds.......

I listen to a lot of music having a very ecollective taste. Johnny Cash to Slipknot. However I tend to lean torwards the music that I fell I identified with the most in my life. Which was when I was a teenager with
Nirvana, Pearl Jam, soundgarden, STP.
-
Depends on my mood and/or the environment....so I like everything from Mozart to Metallica...and lots of stuff in between.
I'll have the huevos to admit that, yes, I even like ABBA and Barry Manilow.
Nirvana, Pearl Jam, soundgarden, STP.
Yep....and those guys too.
Sorry...haven't warmed up to most Country music....or Rap/Hip Hop.

Harry, ever listen to the Rippingtons??? Best "new age" jazz going.
-
I mainly like Rock music, but also blend in some rap/hip hop, country and pop music.
I like disturbed, korn, papa roach, godsmack, metallica, tupac, garth brooks/brooks and dunn etc. Just to show you the variety of my music taste.
-
country (older), rock, some reggae, blues. no rap or gospel. when i draw i like angry music.

So, a Baldapalooza with Molly Hatchet, Metallica, Yellowman, and Rage Against The Machine (with Tippy the Turtle art classes) fits the bill.
-
for starters. substitute yellowman for marley. then throw in some pantera, godsmack,etc. and we have a fun time.

I'm all over that, man.....like flies on rice.....errr....white on.... 8)

trying to think of acts that are still alive. I've heard I should give Godsmack a run. With the exception of rap and opera, I'm pretty much open to most music.
Shoot, I had CMT on the boob tube last night...and I liked it. Some guy had a song called the "redneck yacht club" and I loved it. Before that, there was a song by Lonestar from their greatest hits CD that I really liked.
Damn, I'm getting old.
-
Craig Morgan, Redneck Yacht Club. nice tune.

redneck yacht club pretty much sums up me and my friends in the summer.

Same here!

NO!....in addition to rap & opera...I have a hard time with country for some reason.
-
Heck, we should burn cd's for each other....unless someone would have copyright infringement issues with it. Burn a cd, slap a little postage on it. Sure beats $14 per CD.
Thoughts???
-
most of the newer country sounds the same. crappy. to much of a pop influence. some of the new stuff is cool tho. i tend to like the guys that have been around awhile and are in the position to make the decisions about what they put out. newbies seem to be controlled by the producers because they are trying to make it.
-
Although I have an untrained ear when it comes to country, I would tend to agree.
Paul, I assume you have Buffett's License to Chill CD.
-
Thoughts???
Lemme sleep on it....
'night you guys....robmeister out!
-
actually not yet. i do have a two disc set from him that i picked up awhile back. like buffet too. good music for gatherings with the friends. oh yeah on the burning. i'm in.
-
I'm checking out too.
I guess License to Chill would be first on the pburke wish list.
Good night.
-
I like Outlaw Country.
You can't forget about Disturbed. They have Dave Draiman as the lead singer. Also a Sly Bald Guy (https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.orlandofloridaguide.com%2Fentertainment%2Fmusic%2Fbands%2Fdisturbed%2FDisturbed%2520Lead%2520Singer%2520-%2520David%2520Draiman%25200403.jpg&hash=bf9381e1f28ef5cb8485b36279e75a40ceb9cd42)

love disturbed too.

My buddy's bro is good friends with Draiman. I sent some shirts to him, so hopefully he'll send back a pic of him wearing it.
-
that would be bad ass
-
love disturbed too.
If I could have a concert of my top 4 favorite bands, I'd take godsmack, metallica, AC-DC and disturbed. The 5th spot would be between breaking benjamin, POD, Korn, Papa Roach. Like them all about the same.
Btw, one of the things I like about disturbed is the lead singers scream at the beginning of down with the sickness(my favorite song by them).

Now THAT would rock! r*%
-
I'm with Paulie on the newer country. Too much pop. That's why I tend to go out of the mainstream for my country music. Bands from the Texas/Oklahoma area: Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jason Boland and The Stragglers, Reckless Kelly, Micky and The Motorcars, Cooder Graw (they just broke up), Eli Young Band, The Kene Terry Band (from right here in Nuevo Mexico), Shooter Jennings (Waylon's son), Honeybrowne and the list goes on and on.
I also agree with Tyler on the Outlaw Country. Especially the older stuff, Waylon, Willie, Merle, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson you get the gist I'm sure.
