Favorite music

Ooh, this is a question i love and i sheer for the fact you have asked a " "Community question"...

i was raised with music from the sixties and early seventies as my parents didn't listen to anything else...John Denver , Conrad Twitty , The Rolling Stones , The Beatles , and so many more bands were injected in my very young brain, back then...

Later ,in my teens , a youth friend from school introduced me too Death Metal , i had never heard this before and wondered how long such a singer could sing that way without ripping it's throat appart. But it wasn't only the singing , the heavy sometimes unpredictable rithyms made me crazy , i simply loved it... Bands as Bolt Thrower , Asphyx, Morbid Angel , Dissection , Dimmu Borgir , Moonsorrow and so on simply ruled my musical life...

Later i started to widened the vision and i especially loved Movie Soundtracks ,while still sticking to all the previous mentioned music... One little condition , i absolutely don't like any electronic upbeat , house , techno music ...

Nowadays i seek Music that reaches the spine of one's being . The core , the origin of " Ancient Music " is something i search for today... i found it in two regions who have a common possession: Throatsinging... Asian bands mainly from Mongolia and Tuva like Huun Huur Tuu, Altai Kai , Altai Kangai , Khusugtun , and so on awake something primordial ...i can't explain but can simply dream away by this kind of Music...Of course i can't say goodbye to Metal as that has changed my life drasticly so bands that combine Throatsinging and Metal are also like ...
Bands as Tengger Cavalry , Nine Treasures , The Hu and so on are blasting through the earphones quite often...

But Good Old Scandinavia has Great Music , even with Throatsinging in , the more deeper kind , band as Danhaim , Wardruna , Skald , MunnKnorr, and so on have something dark and powerful in their veins...

Appart from all that Music i would like to mention Clanadonia and Corvus Corax who are just two bands that bring a smile upon my face as these guys make me shut my eyes and transfer me to medieval battles where i fight for my liege...

Music is very important in life , Music must be there from the start when humans crawled over the soil...

i think that's why i look very much up towards Music Creating people because i simply can't play one note on any instrument ... Although , wait , i can play rithyms on upside down turned barrels...

Ok i have to say sorry, but i'll end your Metal Party here :D

I grew up listening to charts like everyone i guess, but very early was influenced by oldschool hip hop in the late 80ies and early 90ies.
I still have LL Cool J's Radio original Tape and also some old LP's :)
I was a DJ at the end of the 90ies playing Hip Hop and Trip Hop Stuff with lots of electronic and Jazz influence.
When i was 12 i buyed Legend from Bob Marley and some years later i found Babylon on a Bus on LP on a fleemarket.
Reggae was allways a Music i loved a lot, but nobody else liked it that much and it was rarely played in clubs or discotheques in my city. So it stayed as something like a good sidekick and i allways played some reggae or dancehall tunes when i was a DJ for Hip Hop Parties.
I had a girlfriend when i was around 20 who loved Rock and Metal and wasn't that much into Hip Hop and such.
So i started to love some of it, but dont take me wrong, i already had some Motörhead Albums and also liked Manowar and Dreamtheater because i also had friends listening to that kind of music and yes i remember some cool concerts of all of them. And i visited a Bodycount concert that iirc was the only one in germany in 1995 - Ice m.... T ye know ;D
Then i went to the very first (and biggest in europe) Reggae Festival in my homecity and i was blown away.
Not did i hear different reggae than i knew until, but i also felt in love with how people there treated them and were not alcoholized and often behaving like jerks.
I have visited other festivals before and i did so afterwards, Rock, Metal, Techno and Trance and you know what, the spirit of a Reggae Festival, the spirit of the Musik is unbeaten for me.
I start hearing Reggae more, i already was playing percussions in the parks for fun and liked to be into drumcircles etc. when some day someone at works christmas party talked to me because i wore a Trojan Records Shirt, but still not looking like someone listening to reggae, but Rock or Metal due to my nordic stereotype with a beard and long blond hair etc.
BTW never was really a fan of making me dreadlocks, because it wouldnt be naturally but fake.
Anyway poeple who know me or hear me drumming know my heartbeat is the beat of the bingiman's harp and not that of a doublebass drummer at 240 bpm :P
since then i'm the Percussion dude for that band. We dont really have much out or can play a lot, because of childs and family in general, but we like to play together, hang out and relax :D
Hope Corona ends soon, so we can meet again on a regular basis and play together.
Recently i started with mixing down stuff and do Dubs, but yeah this all isnt something you can do good from scratch, it all needs practice and patience.

To all who don't know Reggae since 2018 is part of the immaterial UNESCO World Heritage.

I also like @Clumsy-George like a lot of ethnic music, from Africa to Asia, to Southamerika and more....
and clumsy btw without rythm there is no music ;)
people often say i play triangle then they want to say they cant play an instrument, but i always respond to them oh cool like some Triangle masters from Brazil???

one love and have fun - Stun

Lots of types like Rock/Metal, Folklore or Deep house.
90 and and early 2000 pop like Daft Punk, good soundtrack with no genres.
French like Stromae and in general one thing that unite them all is that i like sad music, yeah i know it sounds like emo but thats the thing i like.
