What are you listening to?

My listening patterns have been really schizophrenic and eclectic recently.

At work tonight is a Scottish Bagpipe Rock band, I had punk rock, old country, metal, and a Japanese bamboo flute jazz fusion album that I stumbled across are just some of the ways I enlightened my coworkers today.

 

If you have never seen Gorillaz check out the animation!

 

I've been haunting Princeton Record Exchange looking for "Combat Rock" by The Clash. Finally found it. It'll be playing in my truck this week.

 

Herbie Hancock.

 

Ask any neoclassical shredder who they listened too growing up, and they all say Uli Jon Roth era Scorpions. Long before Yngwie, Randy Rhoads and Jason Becker brought the genre to prominence, Uli Jon Roth was inventing Neoclassical Rock/Metal with his amazing work in the Scorpions. Uli actually played classical guitar, violin and piano before he ever picked up an electric guitar and you can hear that in his playing. His fingering and picking style set the standard for all shredders to come after him. His influence is everywhere !!!

 

Sandanista and London Calling are great albums too!

 

No flies on the first two records either. Grateful to have seen them twice.

Three lesser known fun songs from the coolest looking band ever.

 

Folksy music is awesome.

 

So Herself is out with her cousin, doing girl stuff an' probably spending money. I dusted off my turntable and put on Bobby Bare's "Lullaby's, Legends and Lies". Probably one of my top ten favorite country albums, if not top five.

 

A new player on the FM dial. 107.1 WWCY "The Boss". Classic Rock from the '70's & ''80's, out of Long Branch on the Jersey Shore.

 

It's impossible to understate the enduring legacy of Accept: Fast As A Shark. Released in 1982 it was thrash metal before thrash metal existed and power metal before power metal existed.

 

@Bama Samurai , a simple, but better, bass line makes this cover song rock!

 

I like Accept, but Judas Priest was there first.
