ian Group: Members Posts: 473 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 25 2003, 07:19 Just for a bit of intertest as we seem to have one thing in common regarding liking Mike's music is what music do you hate(not the individuals of course).I was having a heated debate with friends last night about music and I just cant get my head round why so many people buy certain music but I suppose we are all different.Its just I have better taste ha ha .Sorry if I offend anyone but thats how I feel. I will give you my list of just some of the awfull drivel that offends me when I hear it. Any Tamla Mowtown (depressing and drab songs that sound like they were recorded in someones bathroom) Tom Jones or any soul music.   YUK YUK YUK!!! Beautifull South...."I love you from the bottom of my pencil case"...need I say more? Meatloaf...cheesy,overproduced clagg Pavarotti or any type of Opera.......dreadfull Most Jazz....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz M People....arrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! David Bowie....give it up,you were never any good in the first place except Ashes To Ashes which was pretty good. and introducing......Elton John,George Michael,The Corrs (good musicians,poor music),Robbie Williams.....I could go on but I think you get the general idea. Now for some of my fav stuff. MIKE TANGERINE DREAM JARRE ENIGMA PINK FLOYD BRIAN ENO APHEX TWIN THE ORB FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON ORBITAL CHICANE CLANNAD MOBY VANGELIS Back to top

What Aphex Twin track has that completely intense didgeridoo playing all the way through it. I know its quite a famous track but I've never been able to find out what its called and I absoutely love it. Do you know the one I mean? I agree with most of your list however although I'm not a Bowie fan either I would give him credit for what he's done, respect due. Also Enigma = Cheesy over produced clag... Sorry, although admittedly some of their fist album was alright for its day. I always come down quite hard on them because Michael Cretu's faux new-age ambient dance sound, which may well have its place somewhere in the music world, doesn't or rather shouldn't have it's place anywhere near Mike's recent stuff (TB2 till now) which at its worst is faux new-age ambient dance. I don't like the obvious influence. Back to top

I also love most of the stuff you listen to. But I'm not very in jazz, but jazz is very complicated and good music. I also listen classical but I do not like most opera songs. And of course nowadays commercial music is crap. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

I don't have the Aphex twin track on th album I have but I have seen a track listed on an album called CLASSICS which has the track Digeridoo on.I have not heard it myself but am not too keen on the sound of a Digeridoo anyway.

Sysiyo Group: Members Posts: 245 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: May 26 2003, 05:30 I don't really have any artists that I'd really hate, since I don't really listen to anything outside my record colletion. Sooo I'll just lost the ones that I like: David Bowie (who is probably the greatest musician alive or dead, and Ian clearly should get his hands on All Saints, Bowie's instrumentals collection. Many of those have been done as collaboration with Eno, btw). Mike Oldfield Blur Kraftwerk Philip Glass John Lennon Brian Eno Suede That's about it, then... Back to top

ian Group: Members Posts: 473 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 26 2003, 13:41 I forgot to add Kraftwerk to my list of likes. I don't agree about Bowie,I think he has always been overated,a bit like the Emporer's new clothes. I realised there was another hate to add to my list when my neighbour was polluting the air with "Loveshack" by the horrible B52s.I hate that song in particular,as well as everything else they did.meaningless drivel that people tend to play to try and conjure up a party atmosphere at a BBQ when all they are doing is winding me up.

Oh yes, I hate them too! But, Julee Cruise, who AFAIK is ex-singer of the B52s, did a marvellous job singing on the Twin Peaks soundtrack! There's another song I really really hate, but I can't seem to... ah well, the song is called 'Groove is in the heart' and the group, I think, features Towa Tei, but what was their name? Awful, awful video too. Back to top

Even though I probably should let it lie, I'm not going to. As a question, what Bowie have you actually heard? Since like our Mike, Bowie has done music in so many different styles that judging his music is very hard. Back to top

Guru Meditation Group: Members Posts: 55 Joined: May 2003 Posted: June 06 2003, 14:57 I love: JM Jarre Vangelis Jonh Williams Andreas Wollenweider Art Of Noise Future Sound Of London Carl Jenkins Enio Morricone Pink Floyd Kraftwerk Prodigy Pet Shop Boys Dire Straits Beatles Deep Forest Yello Boney M ...(there must be more, can't remember) and most of the classical composers Hate: I only realy hate punk music, but I also particulary dislike: jazz/blues/soul, most of rap, Madona, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Nirvana and that sort (how do you call it - 'Grunch'?), Rolling Stones (not a one decent melody)... and many more, ending with Moby - his techno could be appealing for a few listenings, but I grew more and more iritated with his music as the time passed, now I can barely stand him. Teenage-girl type of techno. Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: June 07 2003, 00:45 I've been getting into Metal recently, listening to great metal guitarists like Kirk Hammet, Joe Santarini, Yngwie Malmstien (if that's how you spell it! ). I just like great guitarists, and people who play instruments well in general. My five favourite artists are, in no particular order: Mike Oldfield Yes Moby Pink Floyd Harry Chapin -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

David Bowie (who is probably the greatest musician alive or dead Har. In a hundred years Mike will be mentioned with (IMHO) the second tier of "Great Composers". No Bach or Beethoven but surely in the class of Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Mendelsohn. Bowie will be forgotten. Back to top
