My father goes into raptures for anything featuring Pat Metheny. Didn't do it for me. I quite liked, 'As Wichita Falls, So Falls Wichita Falls', though.

Yes I had a Pat phase during my jazz-fusion/ECM phase. Loved Wichita... and several others...then never played them again  ???

I often regret not keeping alive my Rock/Metal listening.  Not categorising, but I have collections of Snake, DC, Sabbath, Ozzy, GNR etc but after GNR, I kind of lost my way.  And couldn't for the life of me tell you who carried Metal on after the above?  I remember conversations ages ago on the forum and some guys listed many new names for me.

I ended up downloading some Slipknot & Mudvayne and boy how Metal had moved on....rightly so, things have got to change to remain fresh  :)

Give this a shot, Tony.

Grand Magus! Yes that's right up my street.  Audible lyrics, great music.  Not knocking others I have heard but many lyrics are not easy on the ear with the controlled shouting.

Great slam on the guittars, excellent rhythm too  ;D  Superb solo near the end...Zak Wylde eat your heart out LOL

Lyle Mayes was another favourite of his. Part of Pat's band, I believe.

Yeah his keyboardist. I had a couple of his solo albums too, but found them less memorable.

Moving this thread on a bit, is there any musical genre you've never been able to take to? For me, this would be Reggae/Ska.

Country Western.

I honestly would rather be tortured (with vultures swirling above) than listen to that shit.

Here's something a bit more prog. But a solid song.

I have a few Shania cds and Dwight Yoakum & Travis Tritt, I enjoyed the Emmylou/Linda/Dolly Trio cds but wouldn't call myself a lover of C&W.  At least not the old school stuff, a bit of Kenny Rogers when I am in the mood for lurve maybe  ;D

Rule of thumb: two of these bands are Swedish

Okay, steady on! That's pushing it too far. :D

I forgot the  ;)

I bought a Johnny Cash cd for my wife a few years ago as she likes his music. It okay to my ears.

Actually I also got her a Garth Brooks best of cd used and its kinda dumb fun. The music's well produced etc and the lyrics convey a kinda limited, simplistic philosophy which can be quite charming  :D

That's what I would have expected from Metal since I stopped around '86, a good progression.

What genre do bands like Slayer & Co. go under.  My ignorance is bliss when talking about hard to decipher thrash/grungy metal?  Those Youtube vids are superb....be asking for cd-r's next  ;D
