A non-titty related subject. But I'm always keen to know what music people like, and what books they read.

I listen mainly to sixties psychedelia and seventies rock and prog. But I am open to newer stuff to if it sounds good.

Some favourites:

Led Zeppelin
The Pretty Things
Yardbirds
Neil Young
UFO
Porcupine Tree
PlanetX
Egg
Arthur Lee & LOVE
Jethro Tull
Nick Drake
Big Star
Can
The Cure
Ramones
T-Rex
Iron Butterfly ...And tons more! What do you like?

As for books; I like science related stuff, but also "beat" literature and some prose/poetry. William Burroughs, Kafka etc. I am also a sucker for murder mysteries.

I mostly prefer classical music.
One rare occasions I listen to some rock from the 60's and 70's (stuff I grew up with) but I don't care for anything new than that.
I think modern music is total rubbish, I find it horrible, offensive to my ears and bloody annoying.
Especially when the punks drive past my house blasting sub-sonic jungle drums at 700,000 decibels, makes me want to put a brink through their windshields.

Reading, I don't read much anymore, I spend all my time with my dogs or online or watching educational TV.
I love The Discovery Channel, The Science Channel, The Learning Channel, etc... If it's educational I LOVE IT..
I'm not really into being entertained, I prefer to expand my horizons and learn as much as I can.
The books that I've been stockpiling to read when I ever do have the time are all history books. I love history too.

I don't much care for the modern world.

Its funny that you started this thread, because the other night I went to a concert that was a tribute to the music of ABBEY ROAD by the Beatles. One of my most favorite albums! I was going to ask you guys if you had been to any good concerts lately. My most favorite the group: THE BEATLES all their music from 66 to 70.
PINK FLOYD : Dark side of the moon,THE WALL
LED ZEPPLIN : LED ZEPPLIN 1,3 and 4
JEFFERSON AIRPLANE
JANIS JOPLIN
MAMAS & THE PAPAS
THE ROLLING STONES
THE CURE
REM and many many more.I don't care to much for Britney,Chistina,Justin etc. stuff. It's to commercial!
I used to read alot of non fiction books like: DEVOLOPEMENT OF WESTERN CIVILATION,10 YEARS OF THE VIETNAM WAR. Now I've got my nose sticking in books about nutrition,herbalism and so on. Hmmm I wonder why?

Yes, I love the Beatles too! Especially Revolver and Abbey Road. I just got a great bootleg DVD - Beatles in Japan 1966. Fantastic sound quality.

That sounds like a great dvd. With todays technology they can do some amazing things to enhance the quality of older music,films and shows.
The concert I was at there were 4 guys singing with a band and the entire Symphony orchestra in the back ground. I still get goose bumps when I think of some of the songs they performed like I want you, oh Darling,Come together and Here comes the sun.It felt and sounded like the Beatles were the ones performing.

Blu-jay :-)

Chalk me down for:
All types of jazz... I'm into Monk now! But Stan Kenton, Miles, Brubeck, Benoit ... great stuff.
and any meditative piano. Just love it.

And like Moonstruck... give me anything Science and educational and I'm hooked. "Science" is my religion!
