At what point did you fall in love with Music?


Doc Holiday

Recommended Posts

I'm sitting here on my day off cleaning the house while listening to "Another day, Another Time: the music behind inside Llewyn Davis"  which a showtime music doc about a concert with various artists that played for the sound track of the movie, really great stuff if you enjoy folk/bluegrass music, which is by far my favorite genre of music.

 

My love for Folk and Bluegrass music is something that came very late to me, In middle school to high school I listened to what ever was popular, but never really enjoyed music, and honestly for a while I never thought there was any genre of music I truly enjoyed to listen too. and about 5 years ago while traveling with some friends of mine in Australia one of them was big into Bluegrass and I started to listen to his stuff and have been hooked ever since.

 

Oddly enough the very first bluegrass song I ever enjoyed was a cover of Metallica's Unforgiven by Iron Horse

 

 

so what's your favorite genre and when did you fall in love with it?

Hardcore/metal/metalcore.

I'm a little embarrassed to say this but I fell in love with it after an older student drove me home from school and was playing Hawthorne Heights. I now despise that band but I went out to Wal-Mart the next day and bought their cd. I also bought Killswitch Engage's cd at the time because it sounded "hardcore." I've been in love with the genre ever since.

Doesn't mean I don't appreciate other types of music.  The only genre I'm not a big fan of is rap or country.  I listen to it because those are pretty much the only genres my friends listen to, but it's not preferred.  Basically, if a band/song has good instrumentals/musicians, I'll listen to it.

When my dad gave me his record collection and his radio.

It was an awesome variety of music that included Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Boston, Foreigner, Queen, and Dylan.

Between that and my mom always playing Johnny Mathis and Anita Baker around the house I came to love many styles of music. If it has a real drummer and good vocals I'm happy.

I really have a soft spot for beautiful women with great voices and heavy music with a good groove and vocal harmonies

Honestly? probably when I did mushrooms or LSD for the first time, and listening to the Dead. The Dead opened up so much other music for me, before that it was metal and hard rock. Not so much into metal now, hurts my head. But I can listen to almost anything now, and I blame the Dead and psychedelics.

My parents would play us some great albums growing up.  Stuff ranging from The Who, INXS, Talking Heads, The B-52s, The Beatles, Velvet Underground and plenty more.  So when I got a little older I really appreciated everything they played (looking back).

 

It was early high school that I got into the classical/baroque/romanticism eras that showed me what truly amazing music was.

Yeah I can't stand country, the current embodiment of country is nothing but an ad-executives bastardization of a music genre, hasn't been good in a while.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
