Musical tastes

JohnG · Musical tastes

So what's the vibe with everyones musical tastes? What do you love/hate? What gets you up onto the dancefloor?
Me, I like most music from ABBA to Radiohead via Sigur Ros then taking a back road through Johnny Cash (avoiding boy bands, modern hip hop and Coldplay). My Main loyalties, however, lie firmly with Blues/rock 'n' roll/rock/heavy rock/heavy metal, that includes Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Little Richard, The Beatles, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Metallica, The Quireboys etc etc etc... Yes it's long hair and tight pants all the way.

Loving the versatility of the music

So, who have you seen live? Me, I'm a festival stalwart: Glastonbury, Donnington, Reading, Leeds, Phoenix. I saw Guns n Roses at Donnington in 1987 just after they released Appetite for Destruction. Johnny Cash at Glastonbury 1994 was an amazing experience, Paul McCartney, Iron Maiden, Kiss... even the Sugababes

They were very good, loud and raw.
If your talking about being fortunate to see a particular band, then I think the prize should go to my Mother; way back in 1963/64 when she was 18, she and some friends took a trip to a Manchester club to watch some up and coming bands, amongst the line up was a little beat combo from Liverpool called The Beatles. About 6 months later Beatlemania started to sweep the nation. She told me that they were very good, but it was difficult to hear them due to all of the screaming. How fortunate is that!
Seeing as she is my 'biological' mother I suppose I could say that half of my chromosomal DNA has seen The Beatles, therefore I have seen The Beatles, kind of

I'm seeing REM next month, really looking forward to that. I've seen two fantastic tribute bands live- the Bootleg Beatles, who played a local theatre near me, and Transmission, a Joy Division tribute who played my uni's student union.
