Favorite Band/Artist (1960's) - The Doors

Favorite Album (1970's) - Black Sabbath "We Sold Our Souls For Rock and Roll" (I don't know if it counts since its basically a greatest hits but its the first sabbath album I ever knew so its my pick here)
Favorite Band/Artist (1970's) - Black Sabbath but recent years have seen huge gains in my mind by Lynrd Skynrd as I've come to appreciate the musicianship in that band.

Favorite Album (1980's) - Metallica "Kill 'em All" (1983)
Favorite Band/Artist (1980's) - Metallica

Favorite Album (1990's) - Rage Against the Machine "Rage Against the Machine" (1992)

Favorite Album of 2006 - Tool "10,000 Days"

Favorite Band (from that decade, not already listed) - Nine Inch Nails
Song the epitomizes your feelings on that decade - This is hard to really nail down. For now I'll go with RAtM's "Killing in the Name" due to a single repeated line that summed up my feelings at that time. Unlike a lot of people who are angry teens I was a pretty mild teen and turned into an angry 20 something.

Archie F. Swin 02-09-2007 10:20 AM

Crap, I forgot 10,000 Days...good call

htismaqe 02-09-2007 10:33 AM

This is accomplishing exactly what I thought it would!

Looking at my list, I look like I have ADD. Kinda all over the place.

Archie seems to have an appreciation for experimental or more progressive ideas, with a lean towards the absurd.

Braincase is a guitar-head. :D

And wilas' list is fairly narrowly focused. Maybe he's a guy that likes what he likes and doesn't have to look around for something better?

With so many other Tull "classics" of the 70's I've only met one other person who even recalls Tull's Heavy Horses.I can't really explain it but there was just something about that project that has me on my 3rd copy from just wearing it out.

BTW,as a prog rock fan have you heard Spock's Beard or Alias Eye?

I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

Reached out a hand to touch your face;
You're slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
I'm floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

As much as I like The Experience, I think the free-rolling "Electric Ladyland" is the quintessential Hendrix album. The stuff he did with the Band of Gypsies was just so much more expansive and, well, "out there".

Yeah, I didn't know where to put them, so I put them as my favorite band in the 80's, but I put Psycho Killer as my favorite song from the 70's. IIRC, they put out 3 albums in the 70's and 4 in the 80's.

NewChief 02-09-2007 07:17 PM

Question about the survey:

Should this be the band/song that most influenced us at that time, or should this be the one we currently like the best? Also, for instance, I have the Grateful Dead from the 60s which was a huge influence on me in the 90s, but which I barefly even listen to anymore. It's a difficult survey for me because my tastes change constantly.

My personal favorite is "Kid A" but I would actually disagree with Phisherman.

Start with "Pablo Honey" and listen to all of their studio albums IN ORDER. Not only is every single one of them GREAT, but they are one of the few bands that you can actually HEAR them evolve from album to album.

That's a GREAT question that I hadn't actually considered. I guess the goal was to get an idea of a person's CURRENT perspective, so answer it as you would today rather than trying to recall your preferences at the time...

Excellent. I was worried I was going to have to profess my undying love for MC Hammer while in Junior High.

I'll have to think on this and post my list later.

Easy 6 02-09-2007 11:02 PM

Album (60's) - Hendrix, Radio One.

Artist (80's) - GnR

Album (90's) - Teenage Fanclub, Bandwagonesque
Artist (90's) - Nirvana

Album (01-05) - X&Y, Coldplay

Album (06) - ??? Its not an 06 album, but i got it in 06 & its been on a nearly continuous loop ever since.... Coldplay X&Y.

Favorite decade - 90's

Fav band not listed from 90's - Pixies

Song for that decade - I'd Rather Be Missing You (than wishing you were gone) Coyote Shivers.

These kinds of lists are SO hard to do, they force you to leave out so many great bands that had a major impact on you.

I would call this list just a potential example of my tastes at any given time.

Are you kidding me?

Here's a hint for you:

At least 75% of the comments made about Rush on this bulletin board are a DIRECT ATTEMPT to piss you off and really have nothing to do with Rush at all. Because everybody knows you'll react just like you did here...

Do you really want people to think of you instead of Hootie when someone says "drama queen"?

Guys, this thing is turning out way better than I hoped. This is really cool!

Nightwish 02-10-2007 02:58 PM

I am curious, though, what this survey is supposed to tell you about our personalities.

Nothing really, it's not scientific. Just thought it would be fun and interesting.

Background: I'm a child of the 60's. I grew up listening to James Taylor, Carley Simon, The Righteous Brothers, Bob Dylan, and Simon and Garfunkle. After being shipped off to Viet Nam in 69, I came back a Country and Western fan and remained so almost to the current day. Johnny Cash and George Jones stick out in my mind the most from that period. The Hair bands of the whatever era that was made me want to puke. To this day I still do not own an album by Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi, or Van Halen. I admit I'm left high and dry by any man who has to look like a woman to sing. Just a little over a year ago I decided to see what I had been missing all my life. For the last 18 months I have been sampling as much rock/hard rock/metal/heavy metal as I can find. Some of it is very good, some of it I can live without ever hearing again.
So anyway, I jumped into the rock scene with no preconceived ideas of what is supposed to be good or bad (except for the obvious exception of hair bands). This, without further ado, is my list.

Favorite Album (1960's) - Bod Dylan's Greatest Hits
Favorite Band/Artist (1960's) - The Righteous Brothers

Favorite Album (1970's) - A Question of Balance - The Moody Blues
Favorite Band/Artist (1970's) - Jethro Tull

Favorite Album (1980's) - Back in Black - AC/DC
Favorite Band/Artist (1980's) AC/DC

Favorite Album (1990's) - Monster Magnet, "Powertrip" or Metallica - Metallica
Favorite Band (1990's) - Metallica

Favorite Album (2001-2005) - ?
Favorite Album of 2006 - Stadium Arcade - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Favorite Musical Decade - flexible
Favorite Band not yet mentioned - Motorhead; Guns and Roses; Kamelot
Song the epitomizes your feelings on that decade - She Hates Me - Puddle of Mud

I admire your willingness to take an open look geezer.

I just can't do it...I can't pick one favorite...all I can do is make lists of artists and songs in no order...

Or stuff based on moods or situations...

This survey would prob make my head explode.

I agree with this statement on the whole. I just based my choices on who I listen to the most often after I've gotten over the new. I mean, I haven't even listed bands/performers that I think are great and I love to listen to - from Joe Cocker and Otis Redding to Aerosmith and Queensryche and Pink Floyd. I absolutely love to listen to Jack Johnson when I'm in a mellow mood - Hinder and Blue October to name a couple of relatively new groups - and I could listen to Amy Lee of Evanescense all day.

I'm with you.

I tried to fill out the survey, but I just couldn't limit myself to one group or album per decade.

Am man, I'd be interested to see your list. We know you have broad taste in music so just have someone put a gun to your head until your list is finished.

Well, OK:

Favorite Album (1960's) - In The Court of the Crimson King (King Crimson)
Favorite Band/Artist (1960's) - The Who

Favorite Album (1970's) - Close to the Edge (Yes)
Favorite Band/Artist (1970's) - Yes

Favorite Album (1980's) - The Dream of the Blue Turtles (Sting)
Favorite Band/Artist (1980's) - Yes*

Favorite Album (1990's) - Ten (Pearl Jam)
Favorite Band (1990's) - Yes*

Favorite Album (2001-2005) - In Absentia (Porcupine Tree)
Favorite Album of 2006 - none

Favorite Musical Decade - 1970s

Song the epitomizes your feelings on that decade - "Close to the Edge," Yes

* I'm not sure how to answer the question. This was not Yes' best work, yet they remained active and were still my favorite band.

I'm really unhappy with that list. It looks too narrow, like I only listen to 2-3 groups or albums. I certainly lean to one genre of music (prog), but I listen to lots of stuff.

|Zach| 02-11-2007 11:43 PM

Thinking a litte bit while I was working I would say for the 90's Peter Gabriel's "US" album really stands out to me.

It may sound corny but that work took my mind a lot of places it would have never been without...there was so much that went into it that was incredible. Shaped my music tastes for ever.

2000's - "Illinois" by Sufjan Stevens

I figured this would be difficult for some people, especially ones that aren't very decisive. :D

It's hard not to sound like an :skip: when you're 61 years old. However, I know what I like and what I don't, and I don't usually have too much trouble getting my point across. :loser:
