Anything from the 60's, 70's 80's, plus some good old Northern Soul. Not really keen on today's music scene.

I can also enjoy listening to the likes of Frank Sinatra, Matt Munro, Dean Martin, etc.

Jamie Cullum has got a lot of talent, he has a good voice and he plays the piano brilliantly. How can he be pop on his new album? There is only one original song on it, the rest are covers. I am a fan of Frank Sinatra - who isn't? But he is no longer around so we need more Jamie Cullum's and Harry Conick Jrs to keep that kind of music alive.

I love Black Sabbath also but I have not heard much of Cream. I have heard one or two of their tunes. My dad loves them. Can you suggest some songs of theirs?

Regards,

Luke

Cream are simply awesome. The lead guitarist and second vocalist was Eric Clapton (you MUST have heard of him!). The main writer and lead singer/bassist was Jack Bruce. The drummer was Ginger Baker.

There is a very famous clip from British Television from 1969. Jimmy Hendrix was playing 'Hey Joe', after the first chorus he stopped and said 'We're gonna dedicate a song to the Cream' because earlier that day Cream had announced they would be splitting up. Hendrix then played a song that was written by Cream.

Now, you know a band is good when Jimmy Hendrix cited them as one of his influences. I know for sure Hendrix covered one Cream song 'Sunshine of your Love' which is also my favourite song. My favourite Cream album is 'Disraeli Gears' which was recorded in New York in 1967. The best tracks on the album are Sunshine of Your Love, Strange Brew and Swlabr.

Another band that played good old early metal/hard rock was The Troggs (who wrote Wild Thing, also covered by Hendrix) and then slightly later good old Black Sabbath, Deep Purple etc/...

My favorites are. the Moody Blues, Beatles, Phil Collins, Huey Lewis And The News,

Tool

I LOVE Mannheim Steamroller (If you haven't heard these guys yet, I strongly advise that you do. A very unique style of instrumental music.)

There's so much more I could list but I can't think of 'em all!

From Bach to Bowie, from The Beatles to Neil Young and from Miles Davis to The Pet Shop Boys... let's just say I like music. I prefer Beethovan to Mozart, and live recordings to studio work. Go figure

I can and do listen to anything but rap. I am a very moody person when it comes to music. Meaning that my musical tastes change with my mood. I'll be on a classic rock kick for a few weeks and then all of the sudden find myself listening to Big Band music or classical for awhile.

If you were to pin me down and make me name a favorite band or musician I would have to say Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits. I just really dig anything he has done especially his body of work with Dire Straits. My wife and I had "Romeo and Juliet" as our wedding song.

I like everything listed in this thread so far.

Hey, Firedice27, I'm especially nostalgic for Black Flag because I once hit Henry Rollins with a beer bottle while he was performing in Austin. That was 20 years ago; those were the days.

And yes, Andini, while Squeeze did become quite popular, you're right. They didn't get the recognition they deserved.

I like a lot of different stuff, but the ones that've really caught my attention over the years (for better or worse) .. .

Ritchie Valens
Garth Brooks
Marilyn Manson
Nine Inch Nails
Third Eye Blind
Billy Joel
WEIRD AL!

Very eclectic:

The Ventures
Blondie
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
Diana Ross & the Supremes

Cat Stevens
Midnight Syndicate
Movie Soundtracks
Bach
Wagner
Mozart
Beethoven
Rossini
Mendelsohn
