Since there isnt really a music form.. and a lot of music posters are in here anyway, what are some of your favorite musicians outside of hip hop or some great albums etc.?

I like some various Jazz joints. And I enjoy a lot of the oldies songs that hip hop often samples.

Stevie Ray Vaughan one of my favorites. Even when he covers Hendrix he still crushes the song in his own way.

I love soul too. if you look up the soul samples used in rap songs, the originals are great...

Earth Wind & Fire, The Eagles, Metallica, Rage Against The Machine, Offspring, Linkin Park, The Specials, Bob Marley, Buju Banton, Tears For Fears, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Sam & Dave, Bill Withers (greatest voice ever), LeadBelly...

I could go on forever, but you get the idea. I like a variety of music.

Actually I enjoy some R&B-Soul from time to time

i like metal bands like mudvayne...i like all types....georgia by ray charles is one of my favorites

I like that latin music. Bachata, Merengue, Salsa, Reggaeton. I don't listen to hip-hop anymore. Pac, Rakim, Dead Prez,Kanye, Outkast,....old **** from my younger days.

Coldplay & Alicia Keys in Japan- Clocks
I think this is a great piano loop(Very Heavy Soft Rock)
Pop,Salsa....

Soul, some pop, R&B, neosoul, some new age, some old country, some rock especially 80s soft rock

Jazz/jazz fusion, classical, classic rock, rock/alternative, ska, some pop-punk, some punk, old school rock n roll, blues, J-rock, and some metal.

Deep soulful house Music!

I think I posted stuff on another thread that GoG made.

I was raised on R&B/Soul. My favorite artist in that genre (and probably in any genre) is Brian McKnight. I feel that he's the best male vocalist I have ever heard. The mans upper register is silk and few can pull of the infamous vocal run, but he does it flawlessly. Great songwriter, great musician, great artist. Some of my other favorites in this category are Anita Baker, Marvin Gaye, Donell Jones, Boyz II Men, Bill Withers, Luther Vandross, Sade and D'Angelo, among others.

I like all kinds of random Rock, Folk and Indie music (and associated sub-genres). My favorite band out there is the Dave Matthews Band. Incredible group of musicians, nobody can deny that, even if you think they are granola/overrated/whatever. I have been a huge fan ever since I heard, "So Much To Say" off the album "Crash" in like '95. Excellent, excellent album. Some other artists/groups I really like are Cake, The Doors, Beck, Iron and Wine, Jose Gonzalez etc. Grab "Our Endless Numbered Days" by Iron and Wine if you like Folk/Indie.

I have always liked Lo-Fi/Ambient/Acid Jazz/Trip-Hop/Deep House and all other types of associated sound. My two favorite acts which represent that are De Phazz (acid jazz) and Portishead (trip-hop). De Phazz is one of the best musical acts that you might not know about. Eargasms would be the best word to describe their music. Portishead is also a favorite of mine. Dummy is still one of my favorite albums to this day. Awesome, awesome music. A few other artists I like in these genres are Massive Attack (trip-hop), The Rurals (deep house), DJ Spinna (deep house/variety), Zero 7 (ambient), Tortured Soul (deep house), etc.

I also really like a lot of 80's music by great and ****ty artists alike. I LOVE Hall and Oates (no homo) and Kenny Loggins (not to say Kenny Loggins is ****ty...he's great). I pretty much like everything outside of Country music and that old Gregorian chanting ****. I do have a few country songs that I like every now and then though...I just don't really like it as an overall sound.

So there it is....you know pretty much everything there is to know about me musically.

You like Tortured Soul? Class music man. I have enjoyed almost anything I've heard DJ Spinna get his hands on.

Hall and Oates are fantastic. I have their greatest hits on my Itunes I run it often. Not big into the blues that much?

I like the blues. It's all my dad listened to when I was growing up (well that and soul/funk). Buddy Guy, Miles Davis (well Davis is more jazz I guess) and Johnny Lee Hooker in particular.

i would like to start off by saying that i hate Electro and that i will never jump on this crazy electro/house music craze that is sweeping our planet. i can't dance to it. i feel disabled when i hear it. it's like a bunch of wack little noises. and i hate that certain hip hop artists are becoming so influenced by it. all techy n ****. ew. i think that a electro is a huge part of this "downfall" in popular hip hop.

anyways,
hip hop will always be my one true love, but i listen to other genres too.

gringo, you cannot be outdone. it just won't happen.

Electro and house music are different things, there is such a thing as eletro house but that **** is not sweeping the planet, do some research and I belive as a soul man you may find that some house music is right up your alley. try kings of tomorrow or Timmy Regisford

Any suggestions for artists you like that I may not have heard yet? I read the two you mentioned above, I'm gonna give them a listen at some point, but anything else would be appreciated!

I grew up with a family that's really into music. So I got a pretty good mix of music growing up including a lot of disco, Bob Marley, salsa, classic R&B, 90's rock, classic rock...

So basically I pretty much like everything except for most country, and a lot of heavy metal. Right now I have The Pixies - Doolittle, a 30 song Incubus mix, and Off The Wall in my album rotation to go along with my usual Hip Hop.

Electro and house music are different things, there is such a thing as eletro house but that **** is not sweeping the planet, do some research and I belive as a soul man you may find that some house music is right up your alley. try kings of tomorrow or Timmy Regisford

yeah that's a super legit point. all that **** sounds the same to me. my opinion comes from a pretty ignorant place because i can't really explain the difference between the two. i guess i have just not been exposed to material that i have really felt. all i know is that i'll go to clubs with my friends and anytime that loud electronic, machine-ish beat starts up i want to leave immediately. i will look into your suggestions.

Todd Terry, marques wyatt, Masters at work, lil louis, Jon cutler (its yours) this is the track I would say is esential, look it up on vinyl if you can

Any suggestions for artists you like that I may not have heard yet? I read the two you mentioned above, I'm gonna give them a listen at some point, but anything else would be appreciated!

I pretty much listen to all forms of musiuc. Metal, hip hop and Drum n bass being my favourites. I'm on a big drum n bass thing at the moment, been going to a lot of raves recently, when that bass drops on a decent soundsystem its unbelievable.

I listen to pretty much everything but if not listenin to rap then be blastin some metal music. im a fan of almost every genre apart from dance/techno music.

i listen to everything, as long as it's good, i listen, except to that crap where all they do is shout at the top of their lungs, **** is murder

I posted a thread a while back where I listed minute by minute updates of the type of music I was on...

I LOVE MUSIC!! Pop, Rock, Rap, Neo Soul, Techno, R&B, Soul, etc..

my mate just get me two tickets to go watch metallica in ireland. cant wait. also hope to go watch few rap gigs this year. missed out on erykah badu last year and was gutted bout that.

I like Daft Punk. Thought I'd throw that out there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8kml1bMAd0

That's probably my favorite song from them. I used to get baked and watch Interstella sometimes.

Other than hiphop.. R&B/soul is my ****.. Some old school rock aswell at times.

Alternative Rock (The Mars Volta, At The Drive In, Minus The Bear, Mono, etc.)

Classic R&B-Marvin Gaye, Eddie Kendricks, Curtis Mayfield,etc.
Some of today's R&B
lil bit of New Wave
some 80's rock

I've been listening to the album in my lil picture over there for the last couple of weeks (Plastic Love Memory by De Phazz) and I'm loving it. Not as good as Detunized Gravity or Death By Chocolate, but very good nonetheless. De Phazz gives you the best blend of jazz, funk, soul, D&B, rock, hip-hop, samba, ambient, house, electro, etc out there. Crazy.
