Added new stuff.

[dhdfoster]

That's fantastic for you. Some of those choices are like nails on a chaulkboard to me. But then again, I don't care for all foods, all movies, all TV shows or all books.

And that's fine by me.
I just wanted a cool positive thread.

If I don't like something, I'm not going to put it on the list.
Ya dig?

So the thumbs up is what we agree on. All things considered, that's not SUCH a bad batting avg.

[bigdaddy]

I don't know Doc Watson
I don't know Tony Rice

That just ain't right. Let's fix that now. The first vid is, I believe, New Grass Revival. As fine a collection of pickers as have ever been put together. Watch Tony's right hand, it's amazing.

I once met a fellow who made a documentary film where he drove all over the United States asking all sorts of different people one simple question, "What does America need". It took me a few weeks to figure out my answer. America needs Doc Watson.

I like music.
I like people that like music.
I like that people like music that may not be the same music I like.
I like to play music.
I like people that play music.
I like that people play music that may not be the same music I like.
I like the fact that music makes people happy, even though the music I like might not be the same as what everyone else likes.

It's still music.

[fretless]

Dragonforce and Liberace on the same list? I'd say you have all the bases covered. I'm kind of like you. I tend to go towards a certain genre but I have a good number of discs in my collection that would raise many eyebrows.

[GAD]

I'm with you too man. I love it all. Never understood the hate.

[Rich Rice]

Let's not forget:

Allan Sherman
Tom Lehrer
Smothers Brothers
They Might Be Giants
Mountain
Cream
Molly Hatchet
Jimi Hendrix
Django Rheinhart
Frankie Yankovic
Chet Atkins
Bonnie Raitt
Traffic
The Beatles
Rolling Stones
Albert Collins
Albert King
Freddie King
B.B. King
Pink Floyd
Joe Walsh
Frank Zappa
...and a host of others

[Virtual Pariah]

Just this morning I put my MP3 player on shuffle for about 30 mins and got a list like this:

Zakk Wylde
Billy Joel
AC/DC
Albert King
Queen
Steel Panther
Hayseed Dixie
Ennio Morricone
John 5


It's like having the best radio station in the city. :)

[Flyin' Brian]

I did the same thing and got:

Roberta Flack
Lou Donaldson
Pat Metheny
Sheryl Crow
Mickey Hart
Speedy West & Jimmy Bryant
Warren Zevon
Steve Winwood
Chicago
Prince

[Virtual Pariah]

Ain't it just awesome?

When I was younger I could not have done that.
1. I was more narrow minded.
2. It was all tape. I could not create a mix tape with as much win as we can do now easily.

[semi-hollowbody]

you like John Mayer???

:agree:agree:agree:agree

and to add I can always find something to like in any kind of music...

[lhallam]

I you can play any one song and I'll typically find something I like about it.

It's whether I can sit through an entire album that is questionable. For example, most of those death metal bands kick ass and I dig them but I can't listen cookie monster vocals all night.

I need variety as I bore very quickly.
