Jigger Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Love everything from James Brown and Maceo Parker to Mettalica and Sepultura, The Temptations and Commodores to Medeski Martin and Wood, Red Hot Chili Peppers to Fleetwood Mac. Music is the goods. Fav artist right now ... I've been listening to some old Helmet and Pantera discs so I guess I'll call them my favs right now. Most underrated band of all time: DREAD ZEPPLIN Good pick Daplumma, Me first and the Gimme Gimmes and Pennywise are awesome. How come no-ones mentioned The Police? They've got to be in my top 5.

Peter Panfish Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Favourite Genre Of Music : Experimental Favourite Band: The Mars Volta, simply amazing, might have too much "noise" for some, but some of the best guitar solos currently out there, I'm an addict haha Most Underated Band: As far as popular music that gets dissed: James Blunt, even if his music is kind of sissy its still really sweet Just a band in general that I want everyone to know about who doesn't: illScarlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I really got hooked on it this year.. at first I couldnt stand the screaming but the talent on the guitars is just mind blowing on some of those bands. You got it Rich! Try listening to a pop radio station nowadays (rock/metal format) and finding a guitar solo to listen to. Ive been listening to metal since about the mid 80's and Im now 36 and wont put it down. The talent out there nowadays is amazing (with the right groups).......try some of the more melodic metal bands i.e. Killswitch Engage, or All That Remains.......for starters. ATR's "This Darkened Heart" release is the best of their work. Anything Killswitch is amazing, and i mean talented. Metal gets a bad rap for just being niose. But the talent these guys have for musical arrangements, balancing brilliant melodic riffs with powerful vocals, and just plain goosebump raising guitars and drums.....its just ridiculous. (install a subwoofer in your vehicle for the full effect ) KSE has been stuck in my CD player for a long time now. Good listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyHerc Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Genre: Hip Hop and House Artist: Armand Van Helden Underrated: The Streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LebowSKI Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm really into Progressive music. Rush is by far my favourite band and Lifeson my favourite player of all time. Next up is The Mars Volta (good call, Zack). They are making some really experimental and interesting music. Then it's a tie between Primus, King Crimson, Yes and Zeppelin. As for the most underrated, I'd have the say the Volta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary George Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 My favourite and most under rated band is The Band. No one compares to these guy's for diversity, talent and just plain raw imagination. Canadian boys all, but Levon, he is a good ole boy from Tennesee. Bob Dylan thought they were good enough to be his back up band, they proved to be better than him at times. Ronnie Hawkins might be the daddy of all thats got country and rock roots, he also figured they made a pretty good back up band. Look at who showed up to play with them when did The Last Waltz. Genre: toss up between Rock a Billy and Blues. I was raised on the classics like Floyd, Goddo, whatever happened in the late 60's thru 70's. All positive stuff. Don't have much use for fluff like disco or canned pop or negative stuff like thug rap. Music ought to inspire us to better things. If it doesn't then it probably isn't really music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillj Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Cant believe nobody mentioned Rockin Ronnie Hawkins... who has been a Canadian music legend and helped many a budding Canadian Artist Another one I woulda thought would have made the bill was Moody Blues Personally my music tastes have been pretty varied ... in fact almost every song takes me back to a very specific period in my life ... nowadays I enjoy just about everything from the seventies and eighties ... except the real heavy metal ... no punk (ok a little here and there ... but definitely no rap) Depending on the nature of the stimulant ... my age at the time and the time of day ... and of course the all important ... who I was with at the time ... but definitely it consisted of mostly classic rock ... alternative rock... some pop ... ok a little disco in there (when I was young) and some 'out there' mood (a personal fav was Manheim Steamroller - even though all their albums were called Fresh Aire) Funny thing .. I have noticed that as I get older how much more I enjoy the classical music too ... wierd but true... So anyways ...In no particular order these are albums that would get played with some regularity ... Beatles Alan Parsons AC/DC Led Zepellin Eric Clapton (especially unplugged) Pink Floyd RUSH Queen Elton John (Im not proud of it ... but its true) Men Without Hats Wings Brian Adams Jefferson Airplane Laurie Anderson (under special circumstances) Stones (in very small doses) Carpenters (when in an elevator or absolutely sure nobody is watching) Christopher Cross (driving) Phil Collins (and Genesis) Meatloaf When I get north of Barrie or south of Virginia, east of Port Perry or West of Milton (or in the shower or anywhere near a campfire): Stompin Tom Gordon Lightfoot Toby Keith Tom Petty Rockin Ronnie Hawkins Don Maclean Cat Stevens Harry Chapin and my all time favourite .. most under-rated Canadian duet ...banned in most provinces ... the two gross guys from Glace Bay Nova Scotia ..... (Gary and Blair) Maclean and Maclean !!!! Wow I guess I really need to get on that Ipod band-wagon .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
