--- Quote ---Thanks Ralph - maybe not on this thread, but I have oft time wondered what music model engineers listen to when in the shop?

Erm well.... There are many more.... I think it'd bore the hell out of many people so I'll not list anymore of them?!
Got to add I don't much care for most forms of rap and hip hop....And I hate the way they have re-branded/stolen the term for R&B! :hammer: Just the way it is I suppose, you can't like everything!
Much of the stuff I listen to is mainstream, you hear it somewhere and like it etc, but there are a few who I have heard live and just couldn't believe my ears!
I love live music played well, be it covers in a pub or original stuff at a concert type venue... Live music played well is fantastic :headbang:
After all that, what is the stuff I listen to in the shop?
All of the Above when my Ipod is on random... But if I'm "in the zone" it tends to be instrumental stuff.... Ed Allenyne-johnson, Rob Costlow, Mike Oldfield, Andy martin, Vangelis and the likes.
This thread I like.... It gives you not only an insight into what others like but the oportunity to search out some of that music and see what it is like yourself :thumbup:
Chris, The video you posted was quite enjoyable, Victor Wooten is a name I have heard before and watched/listened to many of the videos on the net involving him.... Very good bass player he is too!
Never seen Bela Fleck before... I'll investigate further!
Mark,
Randy Newman :lol: Short people is played quite often to some friends of mine ::) :)
Peter,
I hope your dress sense has improved? :lol:
Jump around.... Do you like it because of the Bob & Earl beginning or just because it makes you want to jump around?
Eric.... Your right, your into some odd stuff.... Depeche Mode!!! :bugeye:

Tired now.... Too much typing!!

Even with all the odd music I listen to... I still love Queen. Never got to see them. I did see The Brian May Band though...
Apes and Androids Have been likened to a modern Queen.

Very sad on my part.
Anything after the 70's I tend not to bother with unless I really like the artist. I do enjoy some Queen, love the Moody Blues, and although the biggest lie teller in modern history, Bob Dylan is a hero. Joan Baez, Nana Mouskouri and Melani Safka are all my favourite female artists, with Katie Melua as a more modern one.
As Ralph will tell you, I also like some wierdo stuff, The Tiger Lillies springs to mind.
But opera and classical is my very favourite, with Verdi being at the top of my list.
I have no music in my shop, because I like to hear the machinery singing and telling me what it is doing.
Sad I know, but everyone has their own ways.
