What music do comic collectors favor?

[hammer-migration]

EllaFitz, Nina and Billie, along with "Sassy" (Sarah Vaughn), and Cleo Laine, 5 of the best there ever was! If you want to hear the ultimate in what's possible in a Funk/Jazz/Gospel/HipHop Female vocalist trio, be SURE to check out Brownstone ("If you love me"..their biggest hit single). It's like having 3 Whitney's (in her prime, on her best day of days), on stage together, but each of them with infinitely more power, range, control of nuance, and intense vocal arrangements.

This is what is in my CD player right now:

 

Nina: The Essential Nina Simone (Nina Simone)

Mars Hotel (Grateful Dead)

Charango (Morcheeba)

Simple Things (Zero 7)

Live Phish 10-31-95 (Phish)

Powerage (AC/DC)

 

I like almost everything.

 

[FlComicFan]

Zeppelin, Rush up to Moving Pictures, Iron Maiden, ELP, Yes, Hendrix, Parliament Funkadelic,70's am radio bubblegum, Stevie Ray ,James Brown, the Who, Van Halen (with Dave), Bee Gees, old school rap (Run DMC, Beastie Boys etc) blues, 60's R & B, ABBA,

 

I dont listen to new metal/rap metal whatever that stuff is called uggh! Dont care for country either but do like Southern Rock (Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr etc)

Hey FI -

 

Ever been to a P-Funk show? Thay put on a great live show! Seen 'em 3 times and everytime they tear tha' roof off! They always have let the fans come up on stage and party with them. Meet Mr. Clinton in tha' flesh! That's one cool MF!

hell yes! they do put on a fantastic concert I missed Rush this tiem around and am bumming also missed a free concert from STP a few months ago in Tampa. I dont listen to the radio much other than new/talk radio so I drove right past where the free show was going on on my way home back to Gainesville.

[chrisco37]

D'oh! Guess you won't ever see them, then (isn't Scott dead?).

 

I was never a big Rush fan, but in college I went w/ a coupla friends, and they do put on one helluva show. Neil Pert (sp?) is a music god!

[FlComicFan]

are you thinking of the singer of Alice in Chains? He was found dead this year of heroin I think Weiland is clean now. I'm not a huge fan of STP but for free would have seen the show! Peart is a fantastic percussionist and even though I dislike their music from the past 20 years they put on a unbelieveable show every single time. I just hope it wont be 6 years between tours again for Rush. Another good band live I saw not too long ago is the Cult. My wish Is that I was old enough to see Zeppelin circa 1974-1975 I'd love to have seen Physical Grafitti era Zep on tour

Right now I'm listening to Bruce Hornsby's "Here Come The Noise Makers". So far, so good.

[hammer-migration]

Good songwriter, Excellent pianist, for what he does, right out of the mold of Richard Tee and believe it or not Keith Jarrett (very rhythmic piano comping), but without Keith's technique of course.

[CosmicBob]

Hornsby is pop, though he'd probably deny it. His voice isn't as strong as his piano, but he can pick good stuff to sing. I've never heard him sing something that he couldn't handle.

[RedFury]

The Clash

The Pogues

The Velvet Underground

Wilco

probably forgetting a few others, but those are some of my faves...

[ArAich]

I remember going to a Rush concert during there tour of the "2112" album. It was the second best concert I ever saw topped only by Pink Floyd at there premiere concert during there tour of "Dark Side of the Moon" album....

If Neil Pert is a music God then Nick Mason is an entity of a magnitude that cannot be described...

[Bonds25]

Rush is an awesome live band, but Metallica is the best band I've seen live. I've seen them about 8 times and each concert was amazing!

[hammer-migration]

Damn, I can't believe that no one here even mentioned Zappa, whose music embraced many different genres of music from out and out Rock to the tightly, highly orchestrated, progressive fusion band of "One size fits all" with the Underwoods on percussion and George Duke on keys.

Also, Weather Report, the fusion giant with 3 of the finest musicians (Zawinul on keys, Wayne Shorter on saxes, Jaco Pastorius on fretless electric bass), and by far some of the most tasteful fusion, ever. ("8:30" album).

[ArAich]

Zappa was definatly in a league of his own ... Good call on that one Hammer...

[hammer-migration]

and like Miles Davis, Zappa would attract extremely talented musicians to his recording and touring bands. Jean Luc Ponty, the Brecker Bros., Roland Kirk, Gary Burton, the Fowler Bros., Steve Vai, etc.

[chrisco37]

Zappa was great. "Bobby Brown" is one of the funniest songs of all time.

I like Floyd too but more from a production/lyrical side. I've seen both bands live but really prefer Floyd on a good sound system on cd with a big joint. Peart is a monster drummer and always gives a stunning solo in concert so even though IO dont like Rush's newer music I love to see them live. .
