913.0. "What Music Do You Like (Influences)?" by SIVA::FULTYN () Tue Aug 18 1987 23:54

    I just thought of an interesting question which I'm sure everyone
    could respond to. What sorts of music does everyone like to hear
    or play? My influences range from J.S. Bach to Geoff Downes of Asia.
    
    How 'bout it folkes?

913.1well, they're really very similarANGORA::JANZENTom LMO2/O23 2965421Wed Aug 19 1987 14:426
we did this already in the introduction note.  Let's change the question
to, what are the two most completely different pieces /musics/composers
you like both a lot?

Debbie Harrie and the Balinese Monkey Song.

    You must be the guy who tried to get the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
    to open for Judas Priest  ;-)
    
    I try very hard not to listen to any one thing too often.  The stuff
    I like to listen to the most is stuff that I would have a hard time
    figuring out because my "ear" doesn't immediately recognize the
    chords/intervals/rhythm etc.  This includes:
    
    	o Dixie Dregs/Steve Morse
    	o Emerson, Lake & Palmer
    	o Yes
    	o Kansas
    	o Larry Carlton
    
    Basically, if I could just pick up my guitar or piano (well, I can't
    actually pick up my piano but you know what I mean) and play something
    you played me, chances are I wouldn't like it.
    
    Needless to say, this is very frustrating because the music I most
    want to play is the music I most like to listen to.  Or more simply:
    
    	o If I can play it, I don't like it, but if I like it I wanna
          play it.
    
    God can be very cruel sometimes.  ;-)
