Non metal tastes as of late anyone?

[Papa Josh]

Don't get me wrong, I still get healthy doses of metal everyday, but I've been on a real kick as of late with the following records...

STARSAILOR "Silence Is Easy" - I can't get over how brilliant this record is.

LIVE "V", "Birds Of Prey", "Secret Samadhi", "Mental Jewelry" - Basically on one big Live kick.

PINK FLOYD "Obscured By Clouds", "Animals", "Meddle"

TESLA "Into The Now" - Such a great rock record and an awesome comeback. Sanctuary released two of the great comebacks this past year. Living Colour and Tesla.

And a truly guilty pleasure, as I grew up on him during my young, adolescent years....

RICK SPRINGFIELD's latest... "Shock/Denial/Anger/Acceptance"

 

[NAD]

I must confess to listening to very little metal lately. Other than small doses of Into Eternity and Monster Magnet, all it's been lately is Zeppelin, Floyd, Supertramp, and... well that's about it.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I havent been latelt but I do get episodes where I will. Usually its classic rock or a lil radiohead, dredg, bjork, etc...

 

[Russell]

Quite a bit of trip-hop and chillout has been playing at this end (lots of late nights doing work). Plus some gabber (a smal amount!) and plain old acoustic rock

 

[HarmonyDies....]

Radiohead
Fiona Apple
White Mud Free Way
A Silver Mt.Zion
Ryan Adams (not Bryan)
Godspeed you Black Emperor
Mono

....and many many more

other than Dargaard or Die Verbannten Kinder Evas, it's all metal for me. I guess I'm a tr00 tr00per.

I've been getting into Bill Frisell, an awesome jazz guitarist, lately. I've listened to his stuff for a long time, but since I'm going to see him live on Friday, I thought I'd catch up on some of his releases I missed.

 

[JayKeeley]

Stacks of non-metal over here. The wife loves her some Norah Jones. The other night we listened to JS Bach over a nice dinner. And of course, Swans has been spun a few times here or there. I really want to hear that Starsailor.

Having said that, there has been loads of good metal coming my way as of late. I reckon by year end, 2004 will OBLITERATE 2003 for metal releases. In fact, I probably already have 6-7 albums that could make it to a top 10 list, and it's only still March.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Genesis (early stuff)
Tool
Mr. Bungle
Rush

good, safe stuff... i know

MY friends lending me the Pat Metheny DVD tomorrow can't wait. YOu said you liked him right?

I also need to order the new Pelican.

 

[mousewings]

I've been listening to a lot of Coldplay lately. They're a great band.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

yes actually. ive been listening to some Empyrium lately. October Falls, Zepplin, Ambient Burzum too.

 

[Demonspell]

Most of the usual prog suspects (Genesis, Crimson, Floyd, etc.) and lots of offbeat instrumental stuff, the stranger the better...

Pat Metheny rules! I didn't know he had a DVD. Is it new?

 

[ProgMetalFan]

I've been listening to lots of Chroma Key, No-Man and Sting lately.

 

[Papa Josh]

I've been listening to a lot of Coldplay lately. They're a great band.

Then you absolutely need to hear Starsailor's "Silence Is Easy" cd. The two tracks produced by Phil Spector are incredible, but I really love the song "Music Was Saved."

 

[Krilons Resa]

Add Vond to that list. HOLY SHIT!! Dark as fuck!

 

[HarmonyDies....]

Pat Metheny rules! I didn't know he had a DVD. Is it new?

I'm really not sure, but I will be finding out soon enough! But I just remembered I have a computer programming contest tomorrow, so I probably won't be getting it.
