How ecclectic are your listening habits?

Depends on my mood, but Ive jumped from Celtic Frost to Prince before.

This morning- Exodus Tempo of the Damned
This afternoon- Roy Orbison Black & White Night

See my signature (which will stay like that for a while because Last.fm is lame and doesn't recognize files on external drives).

Hey Eyesore play those songs with the word "Fag" in them so I'm not the only one included in the bullsh!t ghey bashing witchhunt Saxon decided to mention last night.

This has piqued my curiosity...what happened?

I dont know, what did happen?

Ah, remember what I said about things spilling over?

That's what I have, but ever since I moved my files it stopped working. Maybe I'll try an uninstall/reinstall.

EDIT: Sweet. That worked.

I am ecclectic....CURE to FARON YOUNG....BOWIEto BLUE OYSTER CULT....CRUE to KIX to KING DIAMOND....METAL CHURCH...RIGOR MORTIS....RUSH...HEART....OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW....FELICE BROTHERS....SINEAD O'CONNOR...PRINCE....all over I am...

Metal, jazz, some hip hop, classical, blues, even some country music

Take a look at almost any of my playlists and you will see some odd pairings.

I sometimes get in the mood to listen to Charlotte Church.

just whatever itunes or last.fm happen to shuffle through such as this morning, emperor to dark moor to rush to Death

Good advice. Heed it.

99 percent of my collection is metal, hard rock, or punk, so it may not be considered very "eclectic" but within that mix there's a wide range of styles, from hair metal to thrash to traditional metal to old school punk and so forth. So yeah, I've been known to play, say, Body Count's first album back-to-back with Warrant's "Cherry Pie," followed by Sepultura's "Beneath The Remains." It does create some odd combinations.

same here. might go from gnr to morbid angel

He just quoted Satchell Paige (the old pitcher)... twice. Nice!

As far as ecclectic for me, I usually listen to one type of music for about a week straight, and then when the mood shifts I go with something else. This week for example I plan on putting away my oldies and catching up on some of the newer melodic metal that I've accumulated during the summer. Snow always puts me in the mood for melodic, progressive, and power metal. But I can't listen to the power cheese during hot weather like you Texas boys. For me it's all about winter in Valhalla.

I just went from the first Black-N-Blue album to the first Suicidal Tendencies album. That's a rather odd combo.

Got ya beat, Fred.

I just listened to Heart - Passionworks



and I am now listening to Immortal - Pure Holocaust.

Just got back from running some errands and this is what I listened to:



and this:





how's that?

Show-off.

From Micheal W. Smith to Testament

Metal to jazz to prog to Christian pop to 50s rock 'n roll...in short, almost anything but country and rap! I have a bunch of different playlists on my iPod, but I like to put the whole thing on shuffle. It's interesting to go from Ella Fitzgerald to Pantera then a poppy Christian tune from Charlie Peacock, then Miles Davis, then Iron Maiden...you get the idea. It's sort of an ADD approach to music, but it's fun once in a while!

Been on a serious prog kick the last couple of days. Streaming Uriah Heep from the Prog Archives right now! Discovered Spock's Beard and Gentle Giant the other day. Dang it! Guess the want list just got a little longer!

Been on this board why want list keeps growing and growing.
