Isn't there any sort of free playlist sharing forum/service already? I'd
have guessed that would have long since existed.

Yes, most of the music players do have a playlist stored somewhere.... At
least whenever I compile a playlist, if I didn't choose the privacy option
carefully, it'll be sent there.

Anyways, what music do you guys listen? Any musician you would suggest?

Winamp wants to collect some stats but I don't think it tries to send the
playlists anywhere. Is there a fan site where people share their
playlists? I'm not into music much and haven't ever stumbled across such
a site.

My tastes are somewhat esoteric. Although I have been known to indulge
in Black Metal from time to time, most of my music is late 60s, early 70s
progressive rock. I'm particularly fond of lengthy, epic pieces, rather
than the attention-deficit music that appears to be prevalent today.

My most recent purchase was 'Present' by Van Der Graaf Generator.
This in itself is remarkable, since it is the first new album from the
band in thirty years, but is still pretty good.

VDGG is not for the faint-hearted. One of their most (in)famous tracks
is the legendary 'A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers', which lasts around
26 minutes. Needless to say it is.. patchy. Some great ideas, though.

Other things I've recently got into (with a little help from Optician)
include 'Rocker's Revenge' from the Bartman Music Project
( http://www.bartman-music.de ) and the fantastically weird and wonderful
'An Electric Storm' by White Noise.


Here's a couple of mine:

Quest for the Sacred Jaguar
http://www.jpmorris.force9.co.uk/music/jaguar6.ogg

Legend of the Black Sun (originally a MIDI file by KoD.. my recording)
http://www.jpmorris.force9.co.uk/music/lbs1.ogg
(The original is 48 minutes long, the longest tape I can use is about
45 minutes, unless it's run at some strange lower speed.
This is just the first 15 minutes of the piece..)

Speaking of epic pieces, the besto the 5 times I saw Yes was their
Close To The Edge tour. WOW! We sat in the 5th row, directly in
frontof Steve Howe. After a 2 our musical orgasm, they returned to the
stage for Starship Troopers. By now, everyone was standing up on their
seats, which were of the fold-up variety being on the main
floor.During Howes, unusually fluid solo (unusualy so because he
actually hit all the notes) my friend Mike got overcome and stepped
back on his chair a bit too far and it folded up, carrying him over
backwards. He then reached out to both sides and caused a bunch of ut
to start to fall back. Did I mention Mike was 6 feet 6 inches tall?
The people behind us screamed and thankfully pushed him back to
vertical, saving a total collapse of about 15 people. Howe saw this
and really grinned and pointed his guitar at us like "Gotcha!"

POLY! Obviously I asked for a list because I want to sort of filter out
what music I could listen next, not a long list like yours that only
confuses me more.... Just give me a few songs that you like the best.

I checked out their rates and their playlist samples.

$20 (for the service) + $15 (for the music) for each hour of popular music
you can hear on any radio station? Ridiculous.

If they were actually introducing me to music I would like but have never
been exposed to before then maybe they'd have something.

Your taste of music is more mellower than mine.... Weird. But some of
those are indeed nice music.

I am indeed classically trained, so I do like jazz and stuff (blues is a
sub-category of jazz). Recently, I've been listen to Coldplay and stuff
because that's what my workplace plays.... Some of my co-workers hate me
for liking Gappy music, but whatever....

I suppose for the most part I prefer mellow music, probably because it's
playing in the background for most of the day and I also like to unwind to
music. Of course I like plenty of loud stuff too:

Billy Talent

(this is a great site - they stream entire songs from their album)

The Tea Party

Hmm... All Canadian bands. I guess I like my rage local.

I mostly listen to comedic (Weird Al Yankovic), show tune (Rogers and
Hammerstein and Disney) and other rather light fanciful stuff (TV
theme songs). I also listen to some classical music.

Just recently I got the incomparable William Shatner's new CD Has
Been, I like it but I would only really recommend the track "Common
People" for general consumption. I also got a compilation of Leonard
Nimoy and William Shatner music from the late 60s early 70s. Shatner's
take on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds as an irrisitable kitch appeal
for me, otherwise not really much to recommend it, Nimoy does some
passable folk sining mixed in with some really silly stuff (The Ballad
of Bilbo Baggins is a hoot).

I have also been checking out some really old songs free for download
off a Canada archives site:
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/gramophone/index-e.html

I recomend "Cows may come and cows may go but the bull goes on
forever". It is a very scratchy recording but still amusing. Lots of
other music there and most of it is rather obscure. I have not
listened to much else to give recommendations. Still you can't beat
the price. ;-)

I can't say that I like punk rock either, but certain bands do strike a
chord with me (nyuk nyuk).

Similarly I generally dislike "country" music but there are a few gems
like Trespassers William, Lowen & Navarro, Maria McKee.
