Hey HKers, I figured since I have some free time, I'll post some stuff. What are your favorite bands/groups- be sure to tell us about them too (styles,etc.)
1. Genesis- From 1969-1980 they made some of the most emotional and at the same time creative music in the last 50 years or more. Each band member contrinbuted alot to their sound and it turned out PERFECT. They have a really earthy yet psychadelic feel which I think is wonderful.
2. Gentle Giant- I gotta say, I have been really into these guys lately. They are truly the most talented group of musicians- right up there with Bach and Lizst for combining emotion and technical insanity. Really weird music though. Probably would scare some people.
3. Yes- The old classic band. Gotta love 'em. Close to the Edge is my favorite song of all time.
4. Dream Theater- really fun music. Not magical and psychadelic like the above 3, but a good hard rockin' but technically amazing group. Theyve been making topnotch albums since the late 80s! I just saw them live- lots of fun!
5. Miles Davis- THE innovator in jazz. True genius. He innovated bebop, cool jazz, and fusion. Fun music to listen to- really relaxing, especially his late 60s stuff.
6. Rush- hey, gotta love RUsh.
7. ELP- only made about 4 albums, but they were really cool- they had these joke songs on each album that were freaking hilarious.
Other cool bands
- Spock's Beard
- Herbie Hancock
- Weather Report
- Charles Mingus
- Billy Sheehan
-KING CRIMSON!!!
