My favorites are..

Dance/Electronic/Trance (vocal)/house/rock/blues

Indie and jazz. blues has got to be up there near the top too.
i like most music.

favs are Alternative, Indie, Soft-Rock, Folk, rock..To be honest i like everything but Rap and country music..

Fav artists are: The smashing pumpkins, ben harper, a perfect circle, jack johnson, the beautiful girls, wintersleep...ive got so many because i listen to a lot of music!

I listen to almost anything except Hip-Hop, Rap, Reggaeton or Eurobeat.

I have very diverse tastes. In general, I can appreciate and enjoy anything with feeling and quality musicianship. That said, to be among my favorites, a guitar is almost essential.

Top Picks tonight:
Classic Rock (late 1960's to mid-1970's)
Hard Rock, any era
1980's metal
Blues, especially SRV and Eric Clapton, but I also like the old guys like Blind Willie Johnson
Texican Rock and Roll (Los Lonely Boys!!!)

there is a song i want you to hear, but i don't know if you have it in your collection. that song is called Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. it is seriously one of the best guitar solos, and i think you'll like it a lot.

I don't have it, but I would love to hear it.

This image alone calls out to me...must...listen...to...George...Clinton...now.. .

I just looked it up. I've seen that album cover dozens of times, but I don't have the song in my collection. Time to start looking for it.



Would you believe there's a Wikipedia page for the song? Maggot Brain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia How have I missed it this long?

thats the one! please do listen to it. other than buying the album from amazon or elsewhere, i don't know anywhere where you will be able to hear the song.
i first heard it at uni many years ago because one of my house mates was into that song. he had the 12 inch vinyl which included the song maggot brain and another on the b-side.

btw its the song, maggot brain, that i want you to listen to, not the actual album. i haven't heard the actual album, only that song from the album.

I've heard Funkadelic (and been blown away!), but never that song. I'll start the search. It may have to wait until next time I'm stateside...it's hard to find stuff like this locally, unless I can find a place to buy a DRM-free download.

ok. however long it takes, please do let me know what you think of it. if you appreciate your guitar music as i know you do, i'm sure that you'll appreciate that song.

(excitedly) I found the song on my hard drive, in a collection of "greatest guitar songs" that I picked up a while back and hadn't listened to completely. I knew I remembered the name of the song, but they put it under the guitarist's name, "Eddie Hazel," instead of Funkadelic.

Woo hoo! I'm listening to it now...I'll edit this post in 8 minutes with an opinion, once the song is done. So far, the mournful sound of the wah-wah pedal at the beginning of the 2 minute mark is pretty impressive.

EDIT: Wow. Very well done song. It's nearly impossible to make an extended guitar solo interesting, and this guy did it for 10:19. Impressive. My favorite bits were around 2:00-3:00 and 8:50-10:00. Thanks, again, CN. I love a good referral. I'm still going to look for and try to buy the album. Definitely.

I like most music, except for country, blues, and any other type of songs that bore me. But as always, there are exceptions for the good stuff

glad you like it . i knew you would. i've had it in my "to do" list to check out that album for years, but i still haven't got around to it.

Death/Doom Metal
Thrash Metal
Downtempo
Trip-hop
Trance
Modern classical

Very different things, most have in common a female voice, even if I make exceptions. It can go from heavy bass beat to classical. I need to listen, and either I like it or I don't. I never buy (or dl from jamendo) anything I have not been able to listen to previously.

JAZZ & beyond

Psychodelic rock

especially ; Motorpsycho, Kyuss, Brant Bjork & the bros, Ornette Coleman, Miles, Soft Machine, Jane's Addiction, John Coltrane, Mindfunk, Albert Ayler, Dead Kennedy's, Napalm Death, Charlie Parker, Stanton Moore, Tool, etc, etc..........

electronic / house / progressive / ambient - no RIAA crap!!

checkout cdbaby.com. they are STRICTLY independent and have about as many ties to the RIAA as george bush does to the anti-war society.

Melodic Death/Black/Heavy/Industrial Metal
Classic/Orchestra
