Whats In Your Cd Player?

[hydropsyche]

I have never heard 4/5 of everything you guys are laying out here and somehow I don't think I'm missing much. Head bangers and power chord hacks, I'm sure. Seriously, I like almost all music (Its a good thing hip hop is not music).

 

I'm not that old, but I really like the guys who got it all going:

 

Louie Armstrong

Ray Charles

BB King

Cab Calloway

 

(if anyone knows of any other early soul stuff I'm missing out on (use the above as a guide), let me know (Guitar is not a requirement))

 

And of course, the usual commerical crap that for some reason I can never get enough of (because it reminds me of my wilder days)

 

Pink Floyd

Led Zep

Alice Cooper

Neil Young

Janis Joplin

etc.

"Ain't singing for pepsi, ain't singing for coke. Ain't singing for nobody, make me look like a joke.

 

Ain't singing for Miller, ain't singing for BUD. Won't sing for nobody, make me look like a dud.....this notes for you"

 

Max. I've tried expanding (thats how I discovered Sach) but it just ain't going there. However, I'm sure if I listened to it long enough, you'll catch me tapping my foot.

There is hip-hop out there that channels the spirit of the old soul/RnB you enjoy, like The Roots (they have a sick rhythm section that can play the tightest jazz/funk/RnB grooves), A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, De La Soul...I used to have the 'rap is not music' mindset until I heard guys like Hubert Sumlin and BB King give hip-hop props. The problem is there is a lot of garbage to wade through before you find the good stuff
