Not gay, no. I married a hot chick! Of course she could be my "beard"... no, I just attempted to listen to techno music... couldn't stand it. Definitely straight. :lol:
It's funny, I like certain Barry Manilow songs, but hate Broadway musicals, and like Tracy Chapman and the Indigo Girls.
Uh-oh.
I think I might be a lesbian.
I have a short, choppy haircut and I really like eating *****.
I don't shave my armpits, either.

I love the grooves of Elvin Jones and Jimmy Garrison.

I love Vince Guaraldi's soundtracks to Charlie Brown (especially at Christmas time).

McCoy Tyner is an absolute living legend on piano.

Anything by George Duke, Stanley Clarke, or Return To Forever!!

The P-Funksters rock hard (Eddie Hazel ripped!!).

And I still am appalled that Christina Aguliera was ever compared to Brittany Spears. "Beautiful" is a hauntingly Beatlesque tune! Did George Martin produce that song for her?

oh....and George Benson's "guitar scat".....play it Georgeorgeorgeorgeorge.....and Joey George too, my musical brotha!

I like Baroque, Classical and early Romantic era stuff along with progressive Jazz & Fusion.

I like Christine Aguilera's "Back to Basics" album. I wanted to play it at a party mjb threw last summer, but the guy in control of the CD player refused to play it. LOL

Bill, that wasn't a CD that you handed him...it was a dog bowl - hence the refusal...

While the various genres, subgenres, and whatever "genre name" you want to consider, of metal are what I listen to most, my tastes are absolutely nuts. Metal, in general, is my kinda music. However, that's not all there is to music

Some years ago, when seeing a free show before moving to Altoona, I saw a blues show from a band called the Kelly Bell Band. Long and short of it,... That was one impressive act! I can't remember much of the sound to this day, but they were very down to earth guys, and had proven talent, with a mixed bluesy/rock sound. Awesome on the ears

A lot of the music I listen to depends on my mood. It's no surprise to find me listening to Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, or Donna Lewis on any given day. If my mood dictates it, anything is possible

Before the radio was removed from where I work, some of the guys would put it on and listen to the local R&B/Hip-Hop stations. I'm obviously not a fan of that. But, I'll say that there were a few songs that were quite deep on there, even if out of my genre pool. I don't remember the artists/songwriters, but 2 songs are still in my head... Bleeding Love and Disturbia were 2 of maybe 3 or 4 that I really liked. Bleeding Love is a deep song about a girl who's b/f (or ex?) walked away, and she's just struck, while Disturbia is actually a rather fun, cool song about insanity. Like I said, these aren't my usual genres, but these songs were decent for what they are!

Aside from that,... Hell, I can tolerate almost anything, and appreciate what actual musicianship was put into something

Something I'll debate to no end, to point something Paul was saying earlier, is that country is a VERY versatile genre. It's not something I usually listen to, but I've taken notice that it's no longer about someone's dog dying, wife running away, and the old clunker of a truck in the back yard

Many of the modern country musicians out there add a lot of twists to their music, and will write about just about ANYTHING! I'm serious. Happy, sad, upbeat, slow,... You name it and you'll find it in country nowadays! In fact, to this day, one of the most heart-felt songs ever written, IMHO, is Martina McBride's song Concrete Angel. It chills me! It can actually cause my hair to stand up on end to this day, and I've probably heard it half a million times! Yes, it is actually that powerful, and that well-written!

Kelly Bell ! those guys are sooo cool. I just got to meet them this past summer. When they heard I was from Altoona they ask if I know Berry Yeager (keyboard player from Altoona). Good band - good guys.

Awesome! I wanna see those guys again some time! I wonder if they come up this way often? ...Probably not. Guess I'll have to make a road trip to Baltimore some time... Oh well. Rockin' Rock Page Road Trip, once Spring breaks? :lol:
