I like the forums where people reveal a little bit about themselves, so we're not all faceless collections of coins.
In this vein, I wonder what everyone's favorite musician is. I'll start. My favorite is Led Zeppelin.
I am curious to see what the answers are, considering this is a worldwide forum.
Thanks,
John

Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, you'd see the capian sea's sturgeon twirl with oriental accents.
Thiefaine for a well know bowdy hythm to the benefits of marijuana.
and then my everlasting prefered americain singer, always with a stone in his hand.
And these hilarious lyrics :D

My favorite musician?

I couldn't narrow it down to one, but...

I like John Lennon, John Fogerty, Johnny Cash-just to name a few. A couple of current musicians I like a lot are Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran.

These days I'll listen to pretty much anything, in moderation. In my youth I was heavily into Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura, Anthrax etc.

Hair to my waist, plenty of piercings, chains from ear to nose etc etc..... X-D

I have really eclectic tastes, it would take far to long to list all my favourites. But I am quite partial to big extravagant rock bands like Queen and Muse.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Rammstein, some New Zealand pop groups like Elemenop, Betchadupa, Good Shirt, etc.

Good shirt do really good music videos. There's "Blowing Dirt" where he learned to sing the song backwards and they trashed a car in reverse during the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzLBfBtknxk

And "Sophie" where they rob a girl's house while she's listening to their song

There was a time when trance music was alive and I loved to listen to ATB, Armin Van Buuren and Tiesto. Now that the so-called EDM (Electronic Dance Music) killed my favorite music genre, I am either listening to the tunes I used to listen to some five or ten years ago or sometimes I can listen to the classic music: from Verdi to Mozart, depends on the mood.

​I may be too old fashioned.
​Don't worry, your tastes are only barely a newborn compared to mine.

I adore music of the 1920s and 1930s in many genres; jazz, blues, swing, big band, raggy, etc; a general period could go from 1890-1940 to define my taste.

Some of my favourite bandleaders/crooners/composers with my favourite pieces of their works;

Cole Porter (Let's Misbehave, 1927; Anything Goes, 1934)
Irving Berlin (Who?, 1925)
Duke Ellington (Merry go Round, 1935)
Paul Whiteman (The Charleston, 1925)
Nick Lucas (Rose coloured glasses (1926), Tiptoe through the tulips (1929)
Annette Hanshaw (I can't give you anything but love, 1928)
Al Jolson (California Here I come, 1924)
Assorted other artists of this era

On the French side I have:
Mistinguett (Il m'a vue nue, 1926) B.
Maurice Chevalier (Ça c'est Paris, 1925; Paris sera toujours Paris, 1938)
Josephine Baker (of the Folies Bergère)


It was truly a magnificent era in my humble opinion; sleek art deco modernity in contrast to repressive Victorian stuffiness, new ideas on art, music, fashion, philosophy, politics and even human sexuality in such cultural centres as Paris, New York, and Weimar-era Berlin.

​He is vesa-matti loiri, an old Finnish comedian and musician.

He is 72, but looks a lot older...
He worked a lot with the comedian Spede Pasanen

Here he is shooting something in his own TV show. He died in 2001, while golfing he had a heart attack, but these two men I guess were behind the popularity of that song. Spede was not making it probably, but he made Vesa popular with the "Uuno Turhapuro" movies. I recommend watching them, they are a strong part of Finnish culture. And they are funny. And weird. And old.

I can't choose only one...
There are several bands or singers that i like.
Summoning is one of them. I'm not a fan of their last album but they did so many great stuff...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3hv2nRzXR8

Iron Maiden. Because it was the first band i was fan of when i was 12 or 13 and that got me into metal things.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2JCGerRKew

Wardruna. Wonderful music. I saw them in live, it was even more impressive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fnPwj1AMpo

Georges Brassens. French singer i appreciate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgm9oy5ZPwk

Burzum. Surely controversial and many hate the band for what Vikernes has been and done, but its music was important for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPyOhP1GTRQ

I also like Hans Zimmer and Howard Shore for all the wonderful movie soundtracks they made...
These are the one I'm thinking about right now but there are so many others.

I love the girl (Cato) in My Baby, and saw the group a few months ago on the main stage at the free Bedford River Festival, and next month (28/11) have paid to see them again at Esquires Night Club, Bedford, UK - which should be good as it is a small venue so can see them up close. The drummer is her brother Joost and they are both from Holland, and the guitarist Daniel is from New Zealand.

Friday night in San Francisco (Paco de Lucia, Al di Meola, John Mc Laughin)
What could I chose among my 40 disc of Keith Jarrett ? same for Bill Evans.
Saint Germain (Tourist)
And with Aziza Mustafa Zadeh that I quoted at the begining of this thread, lets listen Gulden Goksen in her album Guldencaz
And what a choc when I first heard this incredible interpretation 30 years ago, no word to describe the andante of the E-flat major Nocturne introduction
And finally, an example of human capabilities :8D

That aside, I've been listening to the soundtrack of Boardwalk Empire, a show set in the 1920s; so lots of covers of old ragtime, jazz and blues songs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL773351B92F5736F3

​Ask your parents if they remember Plastic Bertrand - Ca Plane Pour Moi - 1978 1 hit wonder in the UK, it was actually a decent song, but favourite artist would be a question mark ( respect to all Plastic Bertrand fans all the same)

​Thank you for response, you never want to be too serious my friend, politicians and bankers are always serious and we all know where that leads.
I was hoping you where going to tell me Bertrand had made an amazing album that i had never heard of..

Since Bossa Nova and the classic «Girl from Ipamena» were mentioned, here's my favourite recording in the genre:



With a glass of wine or two...

On to something very different. Simply stunning, especially the first track:



... though I suspect most will disagree. I want to play this on speakers, Hallow'een night.

Not a big fan of Zappa, but this interpretation of «Montana» by Zappa Plays Zappa with guest Rachel Flowers ─a very special guest─ is quite something:



This too, especially the piano parts:



Again, at night with a couple glasses of wine, preferably red.

My absolute favourite artist in the world is Prince





He was a musical force of nature, talented musician, singer, writer, producer, performer and muse for many.
His talent transcended all boundaries. I even have a fan channel on Youtube about him and are one of the True Funk Soldiers and Purple fams. Prince is the water I drink.

Others I really love

Michael Jackson (And no he is not a paedophile)


Madonna
David Bowie
Freddie Mercury and Queen
Terence Trent D'Arby/Sananda Maitreya
Cyndi Lauper
Elton John
George Michael

All are fantastic and talented individuals.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Moneytane, you might want to check the spelling in your tagline, unless Muscial is a word I'm unfamiliar with. ;)

Today I learned, coin collectors have awesome taste in music! I had no idea there were so many metalheads.

My favourites range from classic rock and prog like Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Camel, Iron Maiden... to modern prog like Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Transatlantic to the deathliest of death metal: Opeth, Gojira, Insomnium, Ne Obliviscaris...

These days I listen to Tess Parks as a solo artist and in tandem with Anton Newcombe of Brian Jonestown Massacre fame, for example:

 

Cocaine Cat

German Tangerine 

As the Carousel Swings 

Wow 

 

So, I suppose, 21st-century psychedelic rock. And Tess' amazing voice is a big plus.

Difficult question … it really depends on what mood I'm in. In general I'm not stuck in any particular genre. I grew up listening to funk, rhythm & blues and hip-hop, as a hobby-DJ also to Pop, Disco, Hi-NRG, House etc. Only two genres comes to mind that I know would be too much … Avantgarde Jazz and death growl Metal. When I matured something like Classical music, especially Wagner, could also make me listen - Balkan Brass Band will always cheer me up, nomatter what.

 

My absolute favorite genres are Alternative and Underground Hip-Hop with artists such as: 7L & Esoteric, Atmosphere, Jurassic 5, Madlib, MHz, Mum's the Word, Onry Ozzborn, Quasimoto, Self-Scientific and others.

I see someone revived this old thread. I largely still agree with my original post. Those artists are enduring favourites especially Prince, whom I have been obsessed with for over 33 years!

 

One more I can add is Stevie Wonder, just so much talent and doing it all at such a furious pace in his teens and twenties. All of his 70s albums were statements that just built on each other. Stevie attacked all forms of musical styles, had virtuoso talent and yet like Prince, gave all the music his own signature sound.

 

Songs in the Key of Life, may be the greatest album ever made before Sign o the Times.

 

And of course, the late and great David Bowie - again he was like Stevie Wonder yet the white version of him. This is a real criss cross as Stevie could play white pop music well and David could play black soul music too. Both artists are a big reason why the 1970s was so exciting musically. If you got bored with other artists or trends like British glam rock, bubblegum, metal, disco etc - you could always see what David and Stevie were doing!

 

Bowie was also very visual, every album bought a new look and it even got to the point his fans would imitate his look and then David changed gears with a new album, sound and look. Stevie as he was vision impaired, so much still went through various 70s Black hair trends - Crewcut, braids, afro, jheri curl, dreadlocks etc and he loved the Afro Dashiki look - but he was not quite at Ziggy Stardust meets the Thin White Duke level of sartiorial eloquence.

I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Simon & Garfunkel 

Gary Wright (Dreamweaver)

Moody Blues (Saw them live)

Pink Floyd

Led Zeppelin

The Doors

Heart 

& Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, U2, etc…

 

And of course, the late and great David Bowie

Absolutely (saw him) & any artist who re-invent themselves have to be seen (like Tina Turner) who I also went to see.  Her show was phenomenal.  Plus our local bands..
