Hi Folks

I love all kinds of music, everything from Rock Jazz Fusion to Folk.

It would be impossible for me to name my favourite bands as there is soo much I love, but I do lean towards classic rock/blues rock/folk rock.

I enjoy photographing local bands in my area.

I also am part of a youtube channel that debates and reviews classic albums.

Anyway, I look forward to posting and joining in on music discussions!
Thanks!

Right on

Welcome - what are some of your favorite fusion records?

The Batlord · 07-30-2018, 02:45 PM

What kinda classic rock?

Contrarian1 · 07-30-2018, 05:31 PM

I like Sun Ra, Wizzard, The Free Spirits, maybe cliché but Zappa.

For classic rock I like all kinds of bands, I like popular stuff like Zeppelin and Grand Funk Railroad, to more obscure bands like Blodwyn Pig and The Groundhogs.

Any suggestions?

Contrarian1 · 07-30-2018, 05:33 PM

Probably a majority of music I like is from the 70s. I also like folk artists (classic and contemporary) like Townes Van Zandt and Elliot Smith.

The Batlord · 07-30-2018, 05:38 PM

Was just listening to Townes last night. You dig hillbilly music at all?

OccultHawk · 07-30-2018, 05:42 PM

You have great taste!

**** yeah

Townes and Sun Ra are both favorites around here

Zhanteimi · 07-30-2018, 07:50 PM

Zappa is never cliche.

**Frownland** · 07-30-2018, 08:00 PM

Zappa thwarted cliches...then ran those thwartations into the ground with some variations along the way.

@OP contrarians are always welcome, I'm sure that you'll do well here.

Thanks everyone!

Don't mean to slag Zappa atall, love Zappa, just thought maybe its not a deep pick for a jazz musician as he is so famous, but he is also very prolific and fits into a lot of categories, and none at the same time.

Can't say I listen to much Hillbilly music, any suggestions?
Ever hear of a band called profane sass? Does that count?

Hey Occulthawk, you ever listen to Blodwyn Pig? They are kind of jazz/blues/rock from the early 70's, the guitarist was the original guitarist in Jethro Tull.
