Topic: What's everyone listening too??

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to this board but everyone seems pretty chill. I've only been playing the guitar for about 2 years. I really love getting introduced to new bands. A co-worker of mine at UMGD gave me a copy of The New Rivals Ep and that's all I've been listening too. Has anyone heard of them before?? They're a punk band from NY and their guitarist is pretty sick. You def. have to give them a listen at www.myspace.com/thenewrivals if you're into punk. Let me know what else you guys are listening too that you reccommend...

Re: What's everyone listening too??

i love Of Montreal!!! they are great they kinda remind me of They Might Be Giants who are also wonderful. the Beatles (duh), Nirvana, The Police, Ok Go, and although most people are cynical of their music i like Fall Out Boy. im sorry but some of there songs are actually kinda good. but right now im mostly into single artists. Joshua Radin, Lily Allen, Mika, Corrine Bailey Rae, Johnny Cash............

Seems that I can't get enough blues music.I listen to Sonny Boy Williamson, Charlie Musselwhite ,

Chester Burnett{Howlin Wolf},Lightnin Hopkins, B.B.KIng,and my fav rock and blues band Matt Minglewood.It seemm the strumming patterns come easy to me as I've Listened to a good time oldies music station for over thirty years.Hits from the 60'S and 70's, and I've found most of the songs on chordie.Keep listening and stay young.

Re: What's everyone listening too??

Hello Lena, Yes I do have a couple of "Missippi John Hurt"
song on a blues copulation C D. He has a style all his own. I suggest to try and find any music by Sonny Terry and Brownie MaGhee. Terry plays blues harp and MaGhee plays blues guitar and there music is some of the best blues I've listened to. The album "Sonny and Brownie" with songs like
"People Get Ready" and "Bring it on Home" are great. So with that being said I try to keep on making it blue.thanks for the reply and have a great day.

...Badeye.

Re: What's everyone listening too??

I would rather say, blues is easy to feel, but difficult to play.
Listening music: 'till December 2004, I listened at least 10 CD's in a week, driving. This is finished now, but I like a lot of different kinds, depending on my mood. I can switch from Metallica to the Bee Gees

Re: What's everyone listening too??

I'll list some of my favorites that haven't already been mentioned (at least not that I read)
Bryan Adams (very underrated guitar player)
Simon and Garfunkle (Scarborough fair is a great fingerpicking song)
Anything by any or all of the beatles (probably already mentioned)
Led Zeppelin (Attempting any page solo will impove your ablility tenfold)
Dallas Green (kind of emo but I like his guitar playing)
