Favorite genre of music

I was just a kid in the 60's and early 70's.
I like Southern Rock like the Allman Brothers and Lynard Skynard
I really like Hard Rock like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin
Old Country music is cool like the Merl Haggard and Buck Owens(The new stuff is garbage IMO)
I would rather listen to a baby cry than listen to cRap
But my all time favorite music is what I call Peace Music, like the Young Bloods Get together or Cat Stevens Peace train.
It was kind of strange because the people that know me would never guess that is the stuff I like.
In fact I am listening to Cat Stevens(Before he became the muslim Yusuf Islam) song "Peace Train"

...John Prine is always a favorite too.
gagster rap.
OH!! I forgot to use green font!!! ["my bad, homey"]
I lived in CA from 1967-73(8-14 y/o) and at that time I think the Doors were my favorite band along with Skynard and Hendrix.
Who is your favorite Beatle?
I would have to say George Harrison was mine 2nd was Ringo. I couldn't stand John Lennon and Paul McCartney looks like a * bag.
In college I listened to a lot of acoustic folk/rock and Moody Blues, in the Army I was into jazz for a while. In the lasts few years I've collected a lot of "The Highwaymen" outlaw country.
Now my memory stick has a mix of all of the above (and some classical) but NO COMMERCIALS.

Also dig the tunes of Sly & The Family Stone, Berry White for some very mellow enjoyment and his Love Unlimited Orchestra did some fine instrumentals. Throw in some Grand Funk Railroad and even a bit of Peter Frampton and I can do some time travel! Joe Walsh, Neal Young, some ELO, Traveling Willberry's, pardon my spelling. Highwaymen, solo Chris Christopherson, Willy Nelson, Johnny Cash, all good!
Classical music of Rachmaninoff, Mozart, Beethoven. Excellent traveling music that enhances the landscape.
Also like the Blues, Bluegrass, Cajun, Irish, Celtic, and most well played fiddle with a mandolin accompaniment.
I could keep going but this would turn into a novel.[:)]
I didn't know he was such a prolific song writer.
Here it is on youtube:

Brookwood have you ever heard Chris Chistopherson's album where he sings the songs he wrote?

Yes Sam, I have heard most all of Chris's stuff. He even wrote a favorite that Janis Joplin made famous "Me & Bobby McGee". Christopherson has lead a very interesting life. From flying choppers to writing music in Nashville for many great musicians. I have seen him in concert a couple of times but my favorite was a very small sit down dinner place in Royal Oak Michigan many years ago. I doubt there were more than a hundred people there and Chris came by and sat down at our table and had a glass of ice tea! He was on the wagon. A true down to earth gentleman.

I was a teen in the sixties. So much to choose from, I liked much of it. Liked The Byrds and Grass Roots and on and on. Liked everything from Waylon Jennings to Led Zeppelin after that. Favorite singer is/was Roy Orbison. Still marvel at the tone of his voice to this day. I'll even listen to symphonies while Im driving, Dvorak, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky have good stuff. Can adapt to almost anything but rap which I describe as mumbling a lot of bad poetry over and over. Its not music , its noise.

Moody Blues
Heart
Super Tramp
Three Dog Night
Waylon Jennings
Willie Nelson
Johnny Paycheck
In case anyone wants to give it a listen. This is one of their best.

But mostly I listen to classical when I'm sitting at home reading...
So you could say I like all music except for rap. Raps not music..,
AC/DC and ZZ Top are my two all time favorite bands.... im learning to play some of AC/DC and ZZ Top songs as of recent.
the link below is imho the best version of La Grange

I still like country , bluegrass rock and roll , older motown even heavy metal . have even got a liking for some classical and music and some I never even thought of
but all the rap screaming even newer country and rock suck
I would say rock from the late 50's thru the 80's what I listen too the most
and" Joe "plugs a few songs on here from time to time that drift my mind to younger more carefree days of my youth [^]
Another favored artist for me was Harry Neilson. He really had a great voice and a way with words!
No rap crap.
