Who do you listen to...

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Todd Snider, Robbie Fulks and Peter Mayer.

I've mentioned Peter Mayer before. He's a mainstream artist who's a Christian but has three Gospel albuims out, in addition to his mainstream stuff.

Both the Gospel and the mainstream music are some of the most beautiful I think I've ever heard.

 

I used to have full sets of Springsteen, Meat Loaf, Twisted Sister, Queen (how did THEY get in there??). Also had a lot of Alice Cooper, AC/DC box set (post Bon), and too many more to think of off the top of my head.

All of the above are long gone. About the only full set I still have is Dire Straits. Most of the rest of old record collection is various.

Oh, also have DVDs from Springsteen, Clapton, & The Eagles.

that is hilarious! "not the best pilot"

I never would have figured you to be a John Denver fan. Hmmm....

 

I'm hoping the Eagles come through Philly on this tour, even if it is without Don Felder.

I saw them on the "Hell Freezes Over" tour and they were great.

 

The term "New Age" in music categories is often the "don't know where this fits so I'll put it here" category. I've seen some classical piano in the New Age section, and seen some alternative rock in the new age section (before alternative rock was a section in and of itself). Interestingly, the New Age section also houses many Zamphir pan flute recordings, and many church handbell, carillon, and organ recordings that are not of a classic or ccm nature.

In other words, the New Age section is the "catch all" section.

 

You can't mess with the king of the pan flute.

 

Right now, listening to the Mavericks' new one. Their reunion is the best news to come out of Nashville in a long, long time.

 

"Hell Freezes Over" is the Eagles DVD I have

To quote Maxwell Smart "If only they used their music for niceness instead of evil."

 

I've always been partial to U2- I've seen them live in concert three times now.

I still can't decide in my own mind whether Bono is genuinely born-again though (and Edge & Larry Mullen, Jr. have also professed to have been saved around 1980 or so). I've heard him say several things that sound downright fundamental Baptist, and then again at times he comes across as a sheer Universalist.
And of course some of the lyrics could pass for pure Gospel. Anyone heard "Grace" off of the newest album?

 

That's kind of the way I feel. He'll say something that makes me think, "Hey, this guy really gets it" and then he'll turn around and say something that just makes you shake your head.

I don't know if he's a Christian or not. If he says he is, then I'll take his word for it, since I'm not close enough to him to be able to examine what fruit he's producing but it certainly sounds like he wasn't discipled very well.

I agree. Many of their songs contain more of the Gospel than your average Christian band.

 

Jazz:

Duke Ellington
Count Basie
Louis Armstrong
Ella Fitzgerald
John Coltrane
Miles Davis

Classical:

Beethoven
Bruckner
Wagner

 

Well...... Utaro listens to little cecular. Mainly in that catagory, it's Linkin' Park and 'Weird Al' Yankovic.
I mainyl listen to Skillet (THE BEST BAND EVER!), Thousand Foot Krutch, Newsboys, Pax217, Jars of Clay, and umm...... er..... that's mainly it ^_^.

 

Listening to the Gibson Brothers' "Spread Your Wings"
