I've got to be in the mood for early punk, like when DW & I have a drawn out difference of opinion (which doesn't happen very often). I'll get on something in the garage and put on some Clash or Pistols.

As far as streaks go, I know what you mean... sometimes all I want to listen to is the Boss or Detroit phenom Bob Seger. Mood determines what you listen to. For me vacuuming music is definately AC/DC (I'll pause when Jailbreak comes on) it just makes the job bearable.

Same as you, Mon Capitan. Classic rock...Queen, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Ted Nugent, etc. with some Chicago thrown in for more jazz times.

Which era of AC/DC do you prefer? The Bon Scott or Brian Johnson eras?

Highway to Hell is high on my list of Favourite discs.

No preference. I like 'em both.

Holey carp! My blog! MySpace!
Official OT Tassel Adjuster and OT Fantasy Football Champ! o-

Right now I could just listen to INXS & be happy. It's really a sad state of affairs.

Most of the rest is alternative or rock:
Dave Matthews Band
Barenaked Ladies
Velvet Revolver
Foo Fighters
U2
REM
Sarah McLachlan
Indigo Girls
Ben Folds
Weezer
Garbage
Pearl Jam
Stone Temple Pilots
Counting Crowes

I've got 2 teenagers in the house so whether I like it or not, most times I do, I get exposed to the newer stuff. I like (and purchased) Nirvana, Pearl Jam and others.

I wash my hands a lot and make sure the caps are on bottles I'm recycling.

Oh, wait. That's my OCD collection.

OOO-OOO that hurts!!

OK so I'm a little obssessed over music. If admittion is the first step towards recovery, it's not working for me.

I've got mostly rock of all types. With a few oddball choices thrown in just to drive other people crazy.

Tom Petty
John Mellencamp
Earth, Wind, and Fire (really old stuff, but I love it)
Prince (again, old stuff)
Bruuuuuuuuuce! (everything and anything)
Squeeze
Foo Fighters
INXS
Stone Temple Pilots
Green Day
The Pretenders
Linda Ronstadt
Johnny Cash
Bob Marley
The Killers
David Bowie
The Clash
Blondie
James Taylor
Talking Heads
Nirvana
Jimmy Buffett
Sheryl Crow
Collective Soul
Def Leopard
Bon Jovi
AC/DC
Kelly Clarkson
Duran Duran
Rolling Stones
Billy Joel (mostly old stuff)
Beck
Matchbox 20

That's it for off the top of my head. Oh, and I just bought the new Dixie Chicks. Love it!!!!!!

Goddess of the Steeler Nation

What is the Dixie Chicks music like? The term Dixie says country but is it anything like wayling Waylon Jennings?

I would say that their first albums were country pop, with the emphasis on country. The sisters are truly good instrumentalists on stringed instruments.

The new one (a fine kiss off to all who dissed them and their music due to their one political statement up to that point) is more pop country, with the emphasis on pop. The sisters still have a fine way with the strings, but a lot less of the stereotypically "country" stringed instruments.

Goddess of the Steeler Nation

Arctic Monkeys-Whatever People Say I am...

Fiona Apple-Extraordinary Machine

Red Hot Chili Peppers-Stadium Arcadium

Ghostface Killah-Fishscale

Pearl Jam-S/t

Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Show your bones

i've been considering this purchase. I assume you'd say "yes, weltek, it's good." Yes?

Best Buy in my parts have these special listening devices hooked to the web that allow you to preview most CDs, usually with 6 or 7 tunes on them. Give that a try.

So yeah, it's pretty damn good.

to name a few (well truthfully more than a "few")

I most often listen to "World music" but I like a lot of the crossover jazz. My husband LOVES Bluegrass, so we listen to a lot of that. I can listen to just about anything as long as it has it's own unique sound sound. One of the reasons why I don't care for most country music today is because it all sounds alike to me. It's like the record producers have this big country/western cookie cutter and they just pump out the same album over and over, and all they do is change the artists name. A lot of rap and hip-hop sounds like that to me too. There just isn't much creativity in that kind of "assembly line" music...it's just formulaic and quite honestly, boring as hell.

ETA: John McCutcheon-didn't want to leave him off the list!

Ah, Pink Floyd. That's what I studied to in college.

A genuine Arkie
I wonder if it affected my grades?
