I totally agree with you. I love the 60's - 70's rock (not so big on the Clapton, but he is good)

I really love ALL music. note: the crap that is spewed out by American Idol and today's popular gangsta rappers (who rap about guns, money and b****es every single track) are not music in my opinion.

I in particular love Muse, Led Zeppelin, all of the 60's Stax Records performers (Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Booker T and the M.G.'s), Chuck Berry, James Brown, John Legend, Nirvana, Pearljam, Bob Marley, Elvis Presley, the Old Crow Medicine Show, Sex Pistols, the Ramones, NOFX, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Allison Krauss, Kanye West, pretty-much everything Timbaland has ever done (would love to see what he could do with Alizée), N.W.A. i'm forgetting plenty so i'll stop

Haven't time to go through all the posts on here, which will be a task. I plan on doing it though, just to see what everyone likes. Maybe i can get turned on to a new band.

Here is Sam & Dave rocking the house on the Stax Records tour of Europe

Cream wasn't superbly long-lived, but my god their influence was, I can say, amazing. I discovered them later in my life but they quickly became my favorite band. Mostly because they're a "power-trio" and each band member's instrumentation and improvisation skills were able to be heard individually as a driving force. Not like some modern stuff where you almost never hear the bass or the drums are just a pre-recorded track.

As for Alizée, I hope she does some collaborations with some famous people as well. Timbaland, although i'm not in favor of some of his stuff, I must agree might work well with Lily's musical style. The last thing I would expect is for her to do some collaboration with Tony Iommi or whatnot, but I would pay to see/hear that.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, with any luck, she'll 'discover' me when I go to France later on in the year (and use me for say, her next album).

I swear, Alizee's music got me into so many more different types. Kinda cool listening to stuff other than rap 24/7. Anyway, this girl reminded me of Alizee for some reason.

There's nothing I like listening to better than some awesome guitar. Here are some of my favorite players:

Same here, Alizée opened me to more possibilities in musical exploration.

Before I was just based on the 60s Psychedelia and Blues-rock scene.

I still am, but now i've branched to other stuff.
The heavier pulse of Thrash and Speed Metal.
The cooling sensation of Progressive Rock/Pop.
ETC.

A couple of the most influential rock bands you might not have heard of:

First up is Joy Division. This band was only around for a few years, because the lead vocalist Ian Curtis committed suicide shortly before their second album, Closer, was released. Their lyrics are very dark, and use of instruments unique. They're known for their innovative use of synth and bass leads, as well as Curtis's unique voice and lyrics (which, as can be seen in Closer, could often be considered about himself). U2 once stated this band was their biggest influence. Manchester United uses the melody to Love Will Tear Us Apart as one of their cheers, though its rumored that Ian Curtis was a Manchester City fan.

Disorder from Unknown Pleasures

And the other is Sonic Youth, probably the biggest noise rock band. Many modern alternative bands' influences can be traced back to Sonic Youth. They view guitars as tools, and change the timbre and tuning to alter the sound they produce.

Watch and learn from the Master!!!

Ok, i've had a little to drink tonight and had to go back and edit this.....Why....Oh, Why do so many people who preach and sing and dance and tell people how GOOD it is to be good to other people have to die so early in their lives>>???? WHY?

[Infatuated]

Oh yeah Fish!!!! Good stuff!!! I vaguely remember Joy Division....trying to think of a song of theirs that hit top 40, can't remember the name though. I went to a Pearljam concert (many moons ago) and Sonic Youth was opening....the people i was there with got there late and we missed them....i was sooo pissed.....

Tanks for the memories

If you feel like listening to something different, this is for you. From Mauritius Island : Cassiya.
For the drummers around, the rythm is quite interesting, it's called Sega and is played in Indian Ocean islands (La Réunion, Seychelles and Mauritius).
Quite refreshing and even better under coconut trees with a good glass of Rhum... Unfortunately I can only dream of going back down there, while I'm drinking a glass of red wine in my Parisian appartment. Maybe next year...

If you don't know Joy Division you don't know about music.

"Decades" from the album "Closer"
