daslied Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 What really ticks me off are people who vehemently slate something which you say you like, while you are happy to dislike whatever they listen to without saying a word. Exactly. Sue are smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 And thank you Sue! That's what I like, real freakin' honesty! But you could participate you know... we hardly ever vote for b-f's songs either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I may not like Muse, but I would defend to the hilt your right to like them. And it don't make any difference whatsoever to my opinion of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Can we move past all this rap talk and who likes and doesn't like it...I mean it is getting to be a bit much. Let's get back to what Lucky originally wanted to talk about....why we like the music we do, and yes that includes rap for some but there are other tastes in music out there, share your thoughts on your music. And not this is not an attack against rap it just seems it has to creep into every discussion and then take over the thread. Maybe we can learn more about other music on this thread with everyones insight into the music that turns them on. And if you don't like their music, just move on without slamming their tastes. I feel preachy today, must be the cranky mood I am in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 The snobbish part means that I think I have the best taste. That's a bit rich coming from a fan of Jethro Tull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Don't be cranky Jane we love you I know you don't wanna hear this but I wish you were still working lol I was really enjoying you today. As for music likes and dislikes I like pretty much everything to some extent. I even like Celtic, River dance (the tapping is music to me)African drums, Native American... I also like the music from Cirque Du Soleil. Not sure if I stated that right or not. I heard the music on a movie but can't remember the name of it now. Only the two songs that charmed me. Alegria and Child in His Eyes. Both beautiful songs. I love old and new county both. I grew up on it. My dad had a band and my mother also sang as did my brother and I. I love Hoyt Axton, The Highwaymen and Clint Black among many many others. The first song I can recall to memory is a song called Rocking Alone In and Old Rocking Chair. I like a lot of Eminem but mostly his older funny stuff. Like I said I like most everything and if I have had no exposure to it, I'm more then happy to give it a listen. I think the music people love or even hate is a very very personal thing. I find something to like in most all music but classic rock is my first love. I would never start a fight over someone else's choice of music. It's just...wrong. If you don't at least sample other kinds of music you miss out on a big part of music as a whole. Like my signature says .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Lea, thanks and today was not one of my better shows just for the fact I feel crappy with this sore throat thing.... And you are right, just as I said, take a listen to other music if you don't like it you don't, but don't slam it, you can give your reasons for not liking it without slamming...but make no opinions without first taking a listen.

_Laurie_ Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Oh Lucky...I remember responding to the Charlie Daniels song!.....I'm sorry I didn't give my opinion, but I do remember trying to get my co-worker on Songfacts so she could watch it and vote for it....she loves that band!....she's been way too busy with the grandkids lately....Oh Well...as for me I love Southern Rock....some I like, some I don't care for too much...The CDB is good, but for me I only like a few of their songs...I don't know why I couldn't get into them as much as I could other bands.....

MuzikTyme Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp son you better not go at night There's things out there in the middle of them woods That'd make a strong man die from fright There's things that crawl and things that fly And things that creep around on the ground And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around. CHORUS: But I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself And I couldn't conceive it, I never would listen to nobody else No I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself That there's some things in this world you just can't explain. The old man lived in the Wooly Swamp way back in the gurgling woods And he never did do a lot of harm in the world But he never did do no good People didn't think too much of him They all thought he acted funny The old man didn't care about people anyway All he cared about was his money. He'd stuff it all down in Mason jars and bury it all around But on certain nights if the moon was right He'd dig it up out of the ground. He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack And run his fingers through it. Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man And that's all there ever was to it. CHORUS The Crayton boys were white trash they lived over on Parvis Creek They were a real snake and sneaky as a cat And belligerent when they'd speak. One night the oldest brother said ya'll meet in the Wooly Swamp later We'll get old Lucias' money and we'll pitch him to the alligators. They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand And thirteen rusty Mason jars he just dug up out of the sand. And they all went crazy and they beat the old man Then they picked him up off the ground Then they threw him in the swamp and they stood there and laughed Till the black water sucked him down. Then they turned around and went back to the shack And they picked up the money and ran. But they hadn't gone nowheres when they realized They were running in quicksand. And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away Then just before they were gone They could hear that old man laughing In a voice that was loud and strong. Now that's been fifty years ago an' if you go back by there again There's a spot in the yard in back of that shack Where the ground is always wet. And on certain nights if the moon is right And you're down by the dark footpath You can hear three yound men screaming And you can hear that old man laugh.

TheLizard Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I may not have specifically mentioned South's Gonna, but I voted for it, because it's awesome. I also voted for songs from every decade from the 60s to now, because there's damn good music in every era and almost every genre. I can understand listening to an artist and making the decision that you do not like them, but I can not understand anyone automatically assuming they're not going to like an artist simply because they come from a certain time or genre. We are all here because we are especially passionate about music. How can we retain that passion if we're not willing to try new things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I am constantly surprised by what I like in music these days. The minute I opened my mind, it started to fill up with stuff. For example: I've always hated Jennifer Lopez. I don't like her style of music, I don't like her voice - always thought it was really thin and reedy. I just watched her performance on "Dancing With The Stars" (it's a very, very guilty pleasure) and I loved the two songs she did. Her voice was so much better than I've ever heard, and her new stuff was really listenable. Knock me over with a feather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I defend the music I like very passionately because I feel most people here at songfacts have very different taste than me, so there are very few people to defend my favorite bands.

MuzikTyme Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Great bands, hopefully, positively, will never need a defense. If only because they'll remain true and stand out amongst the flash-in-the-pan style that this new generation of music provides. My theory: Today's music is much like a leisure suit.

Earth-Angel Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I like older music because it is like a foundation for today's sounds, but I only occasionally listen to it. I listen more to newer music because it is fresh and changes regularly. I like that about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Not to say that there aren't some good songs in this new era. It's just the pruning, weeding if you will, of today's music is much more labourous than, say, the 70's. I find myself trying to like new songs where before, it came natural.

I feel preachy today, must be the cranky mood I am in... I think it's hard to discuss music today without talking about the music that starts with a "R". I think that music has divided the music world and its listeners. That's why we never see people on here making a big deal out of jazz,classical,ect.

Earth-Angel Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Maybe no one here likes jazz or classical enough to make a big deal out of it Most of us are quite happy to share our passions where we feel comfortable to, and if it's not a specific genre, it can't be forced If you are a classical and jazz fan, it would be great to get some input from you Same goes for any other genre.

MuzikTyme Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 passionate passionThere's nothing to compare to the above quoted words. Passion strives for new adventure; how could it not? Passion is the green light that never turns yellow, much less red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
