Rockabilly...



Rock...



Guitar Instrumentals...

 

[Zerkalo]

I like rock of varying kinds and it would probably come fourth, going on my record collection Techno comes top though.

I have been interested in Detroit for a long time now and have this book of photography Detroit After Dark as well as many vinyl records.

 

[TrickyD]

Just say David Bowie, recorded most genres, usually a few years before they took off.

 

[Wise Owl]

Punk



Rock





New Romantic

Favourite Bowie.,,. Industrial Rock title to the film Lost Highway.


and this synthy thing from the film The Falcon and The Snowman


Film scores should be on my list of top genres.

 

[Zerkalo]

Couple of ideas of good film scores played on solo piano by their original composer

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence


At Close Range

 

[Zerkalo]

Reggae comes in fourth if discounting film scores.

Trinity - Three Peice Suit


Post Punk just about comes in fitfh. Indie bands have been playing the same tune ever since.

Wire - I am the Fly

 

[TrickyD]

Glam rock
All 3 glam rock bands, but different styles.

 

[crackatoa]

The Beatles.
A genre on their own


NortherSoul


Reggae


Really need more than 3

Richard Hawley- Coles Corner

Punk
The Clash- I'm so bored with the USA

Rock
SAHB- Give my compliments to the chef.

Can't do links sorry boys.

 

[Zerkalo]

Clapton is my favourite guitarist, though if I was putting together a supergroup of favourite players it would sound a right mess as would be mostly jazz players with synths too.

 

[Zerkalo]

I'd probably pick a jazz guitarist to fit with the rest of the supergroup like Jim Hall.

 

[Arry]

I listen to all sorts, play drums to a few odd tracks here and there... got an eclectic taste in music, some of it quite odd to some but I prefer Rock based and classical stuff
Here's a couple each of me faves...
Blues

Rock/Metal/Operatic Metal

Prog

Rush - YYZ Live (Rio)

So many genres and too many artists to choose from, but as a start, and seeing as I like a live perfomance.....

Blues

reggae

folk...maybe?

 

[The Runner]

As above, listen to virtually anything and like a load of stuff where the genres get a bit blurred, but;
Blues...
Singer songwriter/ countryish
and a bit of trad Irish...

 

[Zerkalo]

Blues is a genre I love and know way too little about.

 

[GeoffW]

Blues is a genre I love and know way too little about.

Check this out, what a voice

 

[Zerkalo]

Love that. BB King is a dilletantes fav for me.

 

[Louis D]

Don't go for genres as much as artists, too much to choose from - Stevie Ray, Little Feat, Hawkwind, Maiden, Marley, but also Taylor Swift, DeeLite, Specials. Obviously not a millennial ?. Have to say though, still Philthy Phil, Fast Eddy and Lemmy for me - Motorhead, 1980, No Sleep, Ace of Spades - just playing rock 'n' roll. I met up with Lemmy so many times in the 80's and what a great bloke, helped his mates and never sold out. Also some great times with Willy Nelson in London and Austin.
