Music you listen to

[country woman]

I love to listen to country music

 

[tryme]

Sorry!!!

Don't feel bad.

 

[Tricia4Jesus]

Right now I am listening to 70's Soul music on Yahoo. LOL! bringing back lots of memories.

Even after all these years I'm still a head banger at heart. LOL

 

[CoolMom6]

Kelco; I knew we would hit it off; LOL!!
Cat!!! How good to see you over here, buddy, how do you like our peer group?

As far as music goes, I love everything that worships the Lord; even the hip-hop sounds great. But I only like a little secular music anymore, even though I was a "head-banger", too.
Country is good, too.
It depends on my mood, basically.

I grew up on country music. Then, in rebellion to my parents, I decided to hate country and started listening to mild metal like Iron Maiden. I heard Master of Puppets in 1986 and was hooked. Then I started getting involved in serious metal.

Now, I still like that guitar and drums (Soundgarden's BadMotorFinger CD is fantastic!), but I have a lot of problems with the lyrics. I can't find any Christian music that quite hits it. I've found solace in Switchfoot, Third Day, Casting Crowns (reminds me a little of Rush) and others, but I still need to feed that loud guitar. Metallica, Rush and other instrumentals fill the bill quite nicely!

(Bass solos - take 1)

claydaman! Hey, I know what you mean, nothing like Iron Maiden, but Yeah, when your heart is in love with Jesus, it is difficult still listening to some lyrics.
What I just did recently is check out the music threads, and the guys over there gave me some web sites of a couple of serious rocking stations and from there, I will make note of who and what, so I can purchase some of these bolder, harder sounds!
Go check it out!
Although I must admit, the softer rock sound with Godly lyrics is good, too, like Todd Agnew, Jeremy Camp and Kutless, etc. But my local station won't play the hard stuff.

I forgot about those - and during regular hours that's all my local station will play. But on Saturday night 9-midnite, KSBJ plays "Planet Lightforce" which is a lot of hard rock and (unfortunately) hip-hop. I don't get to listen to it very often as Saturday is family night.

I'll check those out.

 

[CoolMom6]

You know, I didn't like any hip-hop until DC Talk and Toby Mac came along, and I find I actually enjoy it, as long as the lyrics are glorifying Him!! KJ52 is good, like eminem, but Holy.

 

[clayharryman]

Even back in the days that Rush was my favorite band, I had serious issues with "Roll the Bones" and not because it's extremely humanist. It was because it had a "spoken word" section in the song. I called it rap.

Now, I've come to terms and accepted rap as a musical genre. It took me a while. But there is some fun rap to listen to. I started enjoying it with Faith No More's "Epic" in the early 90s. Now that I've grown in Christ, I'm having trouble finding the hip-hop that I can actually listen to.

BTW - when Mary Mary comes on the radio, the radio goes off! I can't stand that sound at all! Dance music must die!!!

JUST KIDDING!!!!

I love, love, love TobyMac and DC Talk. But they are the only hip hop / rap music artists I enjoy. I don't like worldly, disgusting rap/hip hop.

 

[CoolMom6]

Gee, I know who I would've been hanging out with in high school, you guys!
There was this Rush "soundalike" band from the south that my friend and I used to go see, called Zebra. They had one good MTV hit, and then fell off the face of the earth.

 

[clayharryman]

I've got two Zebra LPs. One is all scratched up. I really liked their song "Who's behind the Door?" I just pulled it out. They are posed like Rush on Grace Under Pressure!

Anyway - yeah, I think you would've been in our crowd -- 'course I was the only one in that crowd that liked this music. Too intellectual for most of my friends!

 

[CoolMom6]

Wow, nobody knows who Zebra is; how cool!

 

[CoolMom6]

Now you got me all nostalgic, boo hoo!
They were the best bar band around. Wait 'til I tell my best friend back home.

Be careful picking on Mary Mary fans; I attended a totally black church for about a year, they were more rocking than a lot of white churches!! You were NOT going to sit down when they worshipped, unless you were under 1 yr. old or over 90.

 

[Tumbleweed64]

I listen to a wide variety myself~ everything from Christian Contemp to Rock n Roll to Jazz, and I LOVE the 60's/ 70's era... I like some country as well

 

[clayharryman]

A friend of mine attends a church with a rockin' praise band. I'm too involved with my church's a capella praise team, and haven't been able to visit yet, but I'd like to hear them. He says they're good and loud - kinda like attending a concert every Sunday morning. 'Course, until I've had three or four coffees I'm not ready for good and loud... I guess it's 'cuz I'm 40, eh? Just Kidding!

Nah, that dance music never did anything for me. I wore a "Disco Sucks" shirt all through and after high school. I went clubbing only if they had free drinks 'cuz I couldn't stand the music.

 

[CoolMom6]

You sound EXACTLY like my best friend back home...

 

[NorwayUnn]

Nothin beats real good worship music! But I also like classical music, jazz etc.
