What music wounds your soothed soul?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

For me its Dave Mathews

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. Evanescence.

Fucking dreadful. Truly, truly fucking dreadful.
Did I mention how fucking dreadful they are?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. agreed

:puke:

[sus]

7. i hate them.

with a passion.

[Beware the Beast Man]

3. nu-metal, of any stripe.

basically, any scrawny white kid rapping over a dropped-D chord tears me up inside.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. Is System of a Down considered Nu Metal?

I loved Toxicity - not so much their first album

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. Not really

I'm not a fan, but they are definitely not a "nu-metal" band, so to speak. They did get lumped into that whole genre for whatever reason.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Why aren't you a fan?

Riddle me that

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. Just impartial, I guess

They just kind of roll of me. I can take them or leave them.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. I wouldn't call myself a fan per se

I do like Serj Tankian's singing. That's cool. I'd take Iron Maiden circa 1986 any day!

[Beware the Beast Man]

12. They're very unique in that aspect

Especially by adding ethnic Armenian music to the mix, too.
As for Maiden...Killers, Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind any day! :yourock:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. Powerslave was the first album I ever bought

And yes it was vinyl!

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. I had "Killers" on vinyl

Maiden rules! :headbang:

[HuckleB]

4. "New" country.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. Uncle Kracker.

Whose music I will play 24/7 when I finally set-up my own private prison-camp. Loudly.

[NashVegas]

13. John Fucking Mayer

just can't seem to get away from it.

[Rainbowreflect]

14. Please ignore, I cannot read.

[johnnie]

16. You don't like blues?

:shrug:

[Rainbowreflect]

18. I am an idiot, cannot read first thing in the morning.

I thought the thread was about music that soothed you.
My bad, please disregard my stupidity.

[johnnie]

20. I figured as much

:hi: I just thought I would shake you awake this morning.

[Brewman_Jax]

17. R. Carlos Nakai

with or without Peter Kater. American Indian flute I find very soothing. Also, I like Stephen Halpern.

Now for wounding music? I don't have that much time.

[ClintonTyree]

21. Classical.................

it's the only music I listen to when things are getting me down. No lyrics to get in the way and gentle soothing melodies.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. methinks you're in the wrong thread

you may wan't this one: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=1433432&mesg_id=1433432

[tigereye]

23. stuff with too much tortured screaming

have to be in the mood for that

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. Coltrane could get that from his horn when the feeling called for it

Om is an example.

[tigereye]

29. well but that is Coltrane - sqounking,etc. is ok

I was thinking of the guys unintelligibly screaming their guts out in that thrashy metal stuff. I have a limited tolerance for that, unless it is punky and a bit poppy. Or even spoken word/ Dub will suffice for me since it can be heard. Ah give me Gil Scott Heron or Linton Kwesi Johnson anyday.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

30. A Linton fan! Excellent!

Ever heard Mutabaruka?

[tigereye]

31. yes! not in a while though

I love all that stuff. I am an alt-music woman ( jazz and rock and world music) from way back. Actually Sun Ra once sat in a friend of mine's lap at the Village Gate! I think it was the Village Gate. And I count among one of my great concert experiences seeing The Art Ensemble before Lester Bowie died. Sniff. I loved that guy.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. Wow - I envy your friend's crotch

Did I just say that? Wow

I've never had anyone from Saturn in my lap - yet!

:yourock:

[tigereye]

37. unfortunately he has passed on, like Sun Ra and Lester

but that was funny. It was appropriate that he sat in this guys lap, since this guy was a really silly person. I don't know if that was a common thing for Ra to do, I only saw him there the one time.

Yeah I have seen some cool shows. I saw Betty Carter speak once, but not in concert. Boo. I saw Geri Allen, too. I also saw Carmen McRae once and Dorothy Donegan in a group show. Wow she was a trip. She's dead too, unfortunately. CAn you tell I like women pianists? All I can say is see these people while you can!

Hope that one day you will have Saturn in your lap. Or at least a rocket in your pocket. ;) silly me

[jukes]

25. hate to say it

in light of your sig, but progressive jazz rubs me raw, esp the monk.

love lounge jazz, though. julie london (sigh)

[Ann Arbor Dem]

26. "Smooth jazz" makes me want to tear my hair out...

Michel Bolton, Peter Cincotti, and Celine Dion also invoke a gag reflex when I hear them.

[jukes]

27. Ann Arbor Dem

*AND* that ubiquitous asshole w/ the soprano sax. can't even mention his (spit) name!

[Ann Arbor Dem]

40. I couldn't type it! LOL n/t

[bif]

28. David Gray, Van Morrison, and various ambient Cds.

n/t

[Magrittes Pipe]

33. Al Hedges.

He sucks.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

34. Who gives a shit?

[Westegg]

35. Yes, but Al Hedges is good for one thing...

...when I put him on, all the roaches come scurrying out of their lairs (assuming, possibly, that the world is ending), and then my cat eats them. It's quite practical. My cat actually LIKES Al Hedges. Of course he likes to eat roaches too...

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. Circle of life.

[Sequoia]

38. Dave Matthews is scary and can't dance

I turn him off whenever he comes on the radio. His thin weak voice just grates me. Vivaldi is music for the sad soul.

[chiburb]

39. Top 40, most of '80s rock, country....n/t

.

[Guy Fawkes]

41. Anything heavy industrial.

[SarahB]

42. Anything with Morrissey/The Smiths

I love them, but damn, they can drive me to want to jump off a bridge when I listen to them too much.

[NightTrain]

43. Military marches.

John Philip Sousa is the Antichrist! :grr::nuke:

[JohnLocke]

46. LOL!

[Bundbuster]

44. Read your post wrong -

I thought you were asking what music "soothes your wounded soul", and listed my favorite Blues artists.

Good Lord, forgive me Buddy, Jimi, Taj...

[kodi]

45. buffy st marie. i wish her god damned throat would explode

her singing voice, if that's what its called, drives me fucking nuts

[Kenneth ken]

47. gangsta rap

I'm using the most-liberal definition of "music" to include that genre.

:)
