Crimson Red Sports

Curious.  I didn't get exposed to a lot of music growing up and have slowly "cultured" myself.  By culturing, I don't necessarily mean classical or anything especially profound, just branching out to a larger variety and sections of history.  I mostly listen to the genre now known as Americana, largely as a result of an old friend being fairly successful in that genre today.  I'm going to see him (Jason Isbell) at the Ryman Auditorium tomorrow night, where he's doing 6 nights of sold-out shows this week.  He's done this for the past 4-5 years, and all the shows sell out within a day of going on sale.  Last weekend I saw Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen do an acoustic show, and I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Other artists I enjoy:

Pretty much anyone on this list:  https://www.ranker.com/list/americana-bands-and-musicians/reference
Tom Petty (still saddened by his passing)
The Rolling Stones
The Turnpike Troubadours
Brandy Carlile
The Eagles
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
90s Grunge - Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, etc
Outlaw Country - Waylon, Johnny, Merle, etc
Neil Young and folkish rock
Tedeschi Trucks Band, Keb Mo and blueish rock/Americana
Traditional Alt-country that became Americana - Uncle Tupelo (which became Wilco and Son Volt), Ryan Adams, etc
Mainstream Rock/Hard Rock - Aerosmith, Metallica, etc - things that I listened to more as a teen and college student than now
Anything with good guitar - Clapton, Hendrix, and others above

To that list I would add: CCR. Alice Cooper. and Janis Joplin. RTR!

I like most all types of music but my favorite is classic country, that you call "Outlaw" country.  I am not fond of the "new" country because it really isn't country, more like just bad pop music.  I can listen to opera but don't enjoy it primarily because I can't understand them since it is traditionally sung in a language other than 'Merican.  While I can listen to rap I refuse to listen to it if the lyrics are about raping cops and killing women or raping women and killing cops or something like that...

I worked at a radio station during high school: WABB in Mobile.  I was paid with records and albums, so I had my height in albums.  True.  Don't think I kept a one of them!

60s music.  Hardly any good music since then.   :lol2:

So Ricky and I agree.  :toast4:

Mrs 2 has Sirius Radio in her car. It stays on 60's music most of the time, when I'm in the car. I love the old 60's music. I liked the 70's rock also, particularly Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Ten Years After, and I loved BTO. I too, miss Tom Petty. Loved his music.

I like some Country, but never been a huge fan of a lot of it. HL posted some of Isbell's music over at the Woolly and I like him. There's a few other bands around with his style that I like.

Today's pop is mostly horrible. The only group I like much, oddly enough, is Imagine Dragons.

Oh I like Shaggy, of course.

My younger brother and I, with a group of friends, would travel to see this guy, Michael Hedges, whenever he came to Birmingham or Nashville in the early and mid-90s, until he died in a car crash in 1997.  The youtube is just one example of his live performance, posted as a tribute by a fan, live video starts around the :28 second mark.

I like to watch You Tube live concerts from the past. There are some good ones out there. Recently I have watched Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne (ELO), REO Speedwagon and Bad Company. I also like watching music shows like Behind the Music. Eagles, Traveling Wilbury's and Fleetwood Mac are some of my favorites.

While driving I switch between country and rock stations. I pretty much like anything except the slow sad stuff.

Speaking of the Traveling Wilburys, Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, check this out.

One of my favorite songs of all time.  I've always heard that the guy playing the rhythm acoustic with a huge smile on his face the whole time is George Harrison's son.

That is true, HL. Dhani Harrison.

I kind of run the gamut. My favorite band is Rush, as well as Pink Floyd, a little bit of Yes, Cream, and Led Zep. Also love Lynyrd Skynyrd (who got to go see in Baltimore last Saturday) and Allman Brothers, throw in some older country and outlaw stuff (Hank Williams, Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, etc.) and finish with some metal like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Metallica.

Hey cbbama99 what about Iron Butterfly? In tha Godda divida. RTR!

Are you one of those die hard Rush fans who goes to every live concert he can?

I saw Rush live in the late 1970's -- they are a great live band.

My favorite band is probably the Talking Heads, though my first album was Lynyrd Skynyrd Street Survivors (complete with flames in the background), my first concert was Blue Oyster Cult (another great live band), and probably my favorite concert musically is Widespread Panic -- I've seen them a few times locally.

This thread reminds me so much of Coach Hank Crisp.  RIP.   :(

Rush is pretty cool , afraid to buy their own rolling papers but still cool  :unsure:
(don't ask)

I have my doubts about your ability to pass a drug test, Counselor.

Unfortunately, I've only had the chance to see them live three times, with the first being back in 2007. I have a friend who has seen them 40 times, and know others who have about 75 or more concerts under their belt. And yes, they are AMAZING live.

 ??? 8) actually being a cool dude I thought, I use to Love the music of Boy George. THEN, I found out he was gay.  :-\ :-\ :-\ RTR!

FOUND OUT HE WAS GAY??

What was your first hint??   :lol2:

I saw an episode of Dukes of Hazzard several years ago where Boy Georgia fell into one of Boss Hogg's famous speed traps and had to play at the Boar's Nest as his sentence.  I always found it odd that he was a guest on the show, as Hazzard County doesn't exactly seem like the epicenter of his fan base.

:lol2: :lol2:

When somebody said look at how he dresses and talks. Yes back in those days, we were kind of loopy. RTR!

So you used to have similar style, Preacher?

You must have listened to him on the radio, because that wasn't too hard to figure out once you saw him on the MTV (that ain't working).  :lol2:

:lol2:

This thread needs more videos.

This all special needs kids singing. Check your heart medicine. RTR!

I enjoy the Crossroads series where two different genres come together and play each others music together. The video below is Jason Aldean and Bob Seger. I have been a Bob Seger fan a long time. Like me, he is getting old.
