Bored and curious...

Well I've been pondering this stupid little question for a while and decided to ask. Do snake lovers have similar tastes in music? I myself enjoy the tunes of SLIPKNOT, AMEN, SyKoTiK sInFoNeY, Rob Zombie, White Zombie, Pantera, Mudvayne, Converge, Tom Waits, American Head Charge, System of a Down, Atari Teenage Riot, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Coal Chamber, Prodigy, Murderdolls, anything by Danny Elfman, DVDA, Sha-na-na, Marilyn Manson, Slayer, Slayer, more Slayer, Metallica, Ministry, Sepultra (just hear them a few days ago), Nirvana, Oingo Boingo, Ozzy, Powerman 5000, Queen, Raging Speedhorn, the Seatbelts, Soulfly, They Might Be Giants, Weird Al Yankovic and some more that I missed. Yeah......music and herps. 8) ....... :lol:

I'm a big hip-hop fan.

I looooooooove Danny Elfman! As well as They Might be Giants. Manson is cool too, I can't call myself a fan because I don't know too much of it but what I do know I generally like. Classic and southern rock, I'm an admitted fan of newer country as well (Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson... and so on) and a whole bunch of random stuff like Michael Jackson (just because he's creepy doesnt mean all of his music sucks, lol) Cake, Stevie Wonder (I love Stevie!) and I can't really think of anything else at the moment... oh yeah, I have a really corny Alice Cooper doll that sings when you press a button on his stomach. It's cool, but his leg always falls off and I lost his top had somewhere under my bed.

Bojo,

Here's a pic for you of a good friend of ours...he's also a fellow herper. Look familiar? :D :D

I like a little bit of everything from country to classical, metal to Motown, pretty much everything except rap & jazz (although some jazz is ok). LOVE blues and crazy punk covers of songs that would otherwise suck.

Reading this thread makes it clear to me that the answer to your question is no. ;) I'm good with the Beatles, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Queen, and Cake, of those mentioned, but new country (I call it "popry" because it's more pop than country), Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Metallica are all on my big no-no list. If someone added Dire Straits, Celine Dion, and Yoko Ono you'd have covered all the music I hate the most.

That said, I do have a fairly wide variety of music I like, including (in no particular order) 60's and 70's rock and folk, classic country, Mary Prankster, L7, Betty Blowtorch, Robert Johnson, BB King, Scott Joplin, Bob Marley, Nazareth, Mahalia Jackson, Billie Holliday, zydeco, blues, reggae, Offspring, Indigo Girls, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Patsy Cline, Simon & Garfunkel, Charlie Pride, Led Zeppelin, 4 Non Blondes, 10000 Maniacs, Queen Latifah, Pink, Outkast, ...

Yay Kerry! My brother once saw him buying bananas at the grocery store...or so he says....I wonder what Kerry is holding.

A mexican black kingsnake. :)

Hahahaha Got that right!

Wow....Telling people the music they get into kinda gives away your age I think.
I like mostly Southern Rock and Music from the 50"s, 60's and 70's.

Ironhead you are so right!
Love most of what everyone else does and hates most of what Marla does :)
I am a big 3 Doors Down fan and Aerosmith but I love the Stones ( ahhh...that age thing)
Dig hip-hop and Rap like most stuff except not to into the country thing.

Southern Rock....remember Molly Hatchett and 38 Special, Ironhead??

Oh yeah........Gator Country.... Twentieth Century Fox

And dont forget Blackfoot, Lynard Skynard, Outlaws...The list can go on....I grew up near the swamp's in Florida.....That's about all I ever got to listen to.

Now I can handle SOME of the newer music that my Kid's listen to, but it is a select few. No rap though.

TOOL, Nine Inch Nails, Mudvayne, System of a Down, Tomahawk, A Perfect Circle, Snot, Deftones, Taproot, SoulFly, RadioHead, ColdPlay, Children of Anachronistic Dynasty (lol)

I'm confused ... does that mean you hate what I hate or hate what I like? BTW, I like a fair amount of southern rock, too. My kids' first concert was 38 Special and pretty much nobody jams like Allman Bros when they got going.

Hip hop

tupac, dmx, ludacris, snoop, chingy, 50 cent (he sucks but oh well), I got some west die connection and young bloods, and a bit more.

I like bands such as:
Fifteen, avail, jawbreaker, sick boy, jawbox, (old) Rollins band (and rollins spoken word is the best), bratmobile, down by law, nofx, etc etc etc. Most old school punk. Emo etc. also like the blues, and some old rock.
Thanks
Rusty

YA GOTTA KEEP IT PUNK ROCK!!!!
YA NOFX!
goldfinger and greenday and rancid the list goes on.......and on.......
I like most rap and rock but can't stand pop or country either makes me wanna break things.

Marla,
I hate most of the same you hate :)

OK, Jotay. :) You had me confused there.

dave matthews all the way.

Okay, I've been avoiding posting on this thread (even though I've been reading all the responses) because I think as far as musical tastes go, it's fairly obvious that we are a diverse group. I enjoy a wide variety of music, but Will's declaration of love for Dave Matthews has given me the courage to post and let you all know that Tori Amos tops my list of favorites.

Is that what that was, Will? :P

lol - that was meant to be a joke.

By the way Marla, I love the new avatar.

theres seriously nothing in this world i love more than sitting back to a good acoustic guitar player. i love listening to dave matthews when he's got tim reynolds (god of the 6-string) playing with him. janis joplin is sweet, phish is sweet, but i also like a lot of mainstream crap like rap, i.e. eminem, wu-tang clan, mobb deep... i also like the newer rock bands, like incubus and hoobastank... but then there is this side of me (usually when i'm a couple sheets to the wind), that all i want to hear is classic rock. zeppelin, hendrix, pink floyd, steppenwolf, r.e.o. speedwagon, CCR, and all of that good stuff. if i don't stop talking now, i'll never shut up. music is my life.

Thanks, Smynx. I got tired of the old one. :)

Will, it seems we'd probably do okay listening to music together, except that Dave Matthews bit. He just sounds so whiny to me, and I get enough of that from my kids. ;)

Godsmack is the best, followed by Disturbed, NIN, etc.

yeah you kinda gotta aquire a taste for his music. once you learn how to understand what he says (which takes years), its golden.

That's perfectly respectable Will. There is something transcendent about a skillfully played acoustic guitar. Likewise, I can't think of anything better than Tori wailing away on a grand piano with Mark Chamberlain working the drums behind her.

Also, Yea to Incubus, Zepplin, and Hendrix.

I can listen to almost anything and enjoy it. It all depends on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'm in a NIN, TOOL, Marilyn Manson, etc., type mood; then other times I'm in a Britney Spears mood. (I told you I like everything, heh)...

Jennifer

Randy, I'm with ya on the Godsmack. My kids don't get it, but you can't take musical critique seriously from Hanson fans.

Will, I'll try to take your word for it. I don't have a problem with the music or the lyrics; it's just the vocals themselves.

Tori is an excellent pianist. I sometimes wish I had kept at it when I was younger whenever her songs come on the radio.. Mark Chamberlain is the man on the drums, but he still can't touch Carter Beauford (dave's drummer)... Btw guys, i play a little guitar and drums myself. I've been recording short clips for years, but haven't ever thought to share them. Recently I've decided to create a small site just to store my music, and to share with those who are interested. I'll definitely post it when I get it up so those who would like to hear it, can.

oh i totally know what you mean marla... the first time i ever heard dave on the radio, i sat back and said "who the hell is this clown trying to sing?"

now, the more and more i listen, and i mean daily, i fall in love even more...

And Smynx, i have something you'd love to hear. Download Dave Matthews Band- Two Step, the Live at the Redrocks version. It's about 13 minutes of straight up jamming, with a very tori-like piano player involved in a great portion of the song. It is truely a masterpiece.

Cool. We'll keep an eye out for it.

I'll look for that too, Will.

LOL, Will, my reaction isn't quite that strong, but I do find that I have less patience with other adults as I get older and I'm less likely to give friends, entertainers, or whoever the benefit of the doubt and a 3rd or 4th or 5th chance. When it comes to musicians, that basically means there are so many artists I like to listen to, from Zeppelin to Joan Armatrading to Godsmack to Beau Soleil to Beth Orton to The Band, that I just don't see it as worth it to spend a lot of time learning to like another musician anymore if something doesn't grab me. Some, like Mary Prankster, grab me from the first song and I love them. Others I associate with certain people or events, and others I gradually come to like. There are just fewer gradual ones anymore. By the way, I saw a friend last night who I've known since he was 4 -- 18 now -- and he's become quite a good guitarist. If I can work it out I may go watch his gig tonight.

Time for the old fart to chime in here.

I never found much heavy metal, punk, grunge, or rap that I cared for. A lot of the 70's Rock I grew up with didn't do much for me, either.

Earlier today I was listening to a minidisk of 3 CD's worth of classical music on flute. I listen to a lot of Celtic music, especially performed on flute, and I'd have to say my favorite CD in my collection is Joanie Madden's "Songs of the Irish Whistle". I also enjoy traditional Jewish music, and one of my favorite CD's in that genre is Andy Statman's "Songs of Our Fathers", on which all of the music is played on traditional instruments: no synthesizers or electronic instruments.

Hoomi: I would imagine you have very happy reptiles.

And as i said before, we are a very diverse group, musically speaking.

I play the flute

just joking...

...I play the tuba

Oops, she did it again....

As off the wall as B. S. is acting, I keep waiting to hear that she and Michael Jackson are an "item"...

She's too old for him. She already turned 18, ya know.

And a she....I think? :lol:

Damn I have been remiss and missed this:

Opeth, Natacha Atlas (best femme vox ever sorry shug), Lustmord, Robert Rich, King Crimson, Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Amon Tobin, Benediction. Yeah all over the map with a penchant for insane talent and Dark Ambient.

i listen to a bunch of different kinds of music pink floyd, disturbed, puddle of mudd, linkin park, rise against, rage against the machine, adema, taproot, smile empty soul, green day, sublime and a whole bunch of others.

(another delayed reply from me!)

Will - I too share your love of Dave Matthews. I was obsessed with him for about 5 or 6 years (it's slowed down in the last year or two). I cried when I got tickets to a concert for Christmas a few years ago(my fist DMB show) because I was so excited and it was awesome! I just spent 4 hours of my 8 hour drive home listening to Dave (mainly Red Rocks - Seek Up and Two Step make me melt!) I guess I'd kind of forgotten how much I love DMB 'til recently (Recently is one of my most favorite songs of all time!) Ok enough from me...

I hear all types of rock especially all types of metal like: Metallica Godsmack, Disturbued, P.O.D., Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Soil Work, Korn.
Well those are only some of the band that I really like and listen almost all of the time.
Jesús

I know the wife is fond of Bloodbath, Blood Red Throne, Bolt Thrower, Suffocation, Obituary, Benediction and Vader as well as TOri Amos :P

Very funny, honey.
