After the success of the recent broadening of options on here, unlike the national-side’s attack, how about a thread for music?
Who do you listen to? What style do you enjoy? For me, prog rock, metal, rock (of different strengths), synth, punk and all sorts. Off you go.

Listening to music gives you so much.
I’d forgotten C&W. It’s got much to admire. Take Dolly. She’s got such a positive vibe, we all love to listen. In fact, one successful contemporary artist has a tack called WWDD or Double U W DD. What Would Dolly Do? Not a bad route to the straight and narrow.

Good topic. Back in the late 60's when I was a teenager I sang in a rock band with some of my Tirydail mates - great fun & made a few bob. Early years I was a great fan of Cream with Clapton's sublime guitar work with Ginger Baker on percussion & Jack Bruce on bass. I wondered at how much sound a three piece band could make.
Later years I liked Queen & U2 & now I am a big fan of Adele. Best live gigs attended Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall, Diana Ross at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas & Elton John at Canterbury Cricket Ground. Biggest wish list U2 anywhere.

Closest I got to playing an instrument and making an acceptable sound out of it was the recorder at school. Always envied those with more patience and dedication to get proper tunes out of their chosen piece.
Best gigs, now that’s something to think about.

Best gig performance wise Souxsie & the Banshees when Robert Smith was in the band.
Enjoyment wise The Clash at the electric ballroom, but there have been many close seconds on both counts. The Who, Manics, The Damned and Joan Armatrading. I went to many a gig when I was young ears are completely buggered though (a bang on the head and too much live music will do that). Worst easy Black Flag '' The audience didn't understand us'' no Henry you were just horrible to have to hear. A mention too for Ian Brown for being so disappointing.

I was in Villa Park, like RR1972, my school friends and I did the whole l tour. I love Bruce, he has been my best friend through everything, bereavements, etc, and I have seen him multiple times since the 70s. However disapointed with his recent access to tickets.

Only just had the pleasure of reading everything and every post on this thread.
All very interesting. All I can say is that I agree with everything that's been said about MUSIC...it makes world go around, and where would we be without it? My dad played with Deke Leonard, Llanelli legend, who ironically later I would watch at the Patti pavilion in Swansea on Friday nights. Dad however was a jazz musician and one of his greatest legacies to me, apart from a passion for rugby, was a love of music. He took to me see duke Ellington and count basie, Oscar Peteson, Buddy Rich. We regularly visited Ronnie Scott's in London, where we see the likes of Jonny Dankworth and Cleo Lane.It was in Ronnie Scott 's I saw jazz loving Charlie Watts of the stones, and cheekily asked for his autograph, on a beermat. Because dad was a drummer, I introduced him to the work nof Bill Bruford and later Chis White of Yes and then..my love of Mahuvishnu Orchestra, led to dad and me seeking out Billy Cobham and his band. I also loved Santana , and my father was a huge admirer of Latin rhythms.We both listened to Ginger Baker as GPR mentioned, both with cream and later with airforce.. I have attended Reading Festival 7 /8 times and Glastonbury 5/6 times. Some of the people I have seen and loved live.. stevie wonder..4 times, Springsteen 5 times, stereophonics 6 times, stones 4 times..and my hero Jackson Browne 10 times,and many others. It's been a real spiralling love,...thanks to dad. My Mother however loved classical and consequently got me listening to Bach, Chopin, Motzart, and Debussy, which I still love. She had a great collection of LP's including Andy Williams, Jack Jones, Peggy Lee, and best of all Natt King Cole..lwho I just love! I still have all my original vinyl Lp's and hundreds of cd's... Music its been my life, together with art politics and rugby. I just LOVE IT!

I saw that show, I liked the Pretenders but was a little disappointed with them live, I'm sure Big Country were there as well (or it might have been when Bowe was in the stadium), they were great live.

I have seen eagles live too . Preferred after Joe Walsh joined to replace Bernie Leadon. I am also a fan of Joe and have most of his albums. Do'nt it was Jackson Browne, who wrote "Take it easy", with the late Glen Frey. Bring it back local Status Quo played at the Glen in Llanelli, in the very early days, in fact I actually met Rossi and Parfitt.Other notable acts to play there were Mott the Hoople,Van Der Graf Generater and a young Elie Brooks with Viniger Joe.She ironically, played in the Selwyn Samuel Centre, 4/5 years ago.The Glen had one of the only revolving stages in Waoes, allowing the main band to set up before their support act had finished.

First band ever was Budgie , great band in support to Marrilionin Penyrheol ....caught the buzz in the concert ..During the next 2 years I managed to see Motorhead in Cardiff and Ozzy Osbourne in Cardiff during the Blizzard of Ozz Tour ...I believe it was one of the last concerts that Randy Rhodes played guitar in before his plane accident ...To hear Mr Crowley leading into Steal the Night has stayed with me ever since ..
we watched the 3 degrees in Singapore which was ok , but the best band I've seen in a long time was whisbone Ash .To hear them live was like listening to the album ....There are loads of local bands that I listened to but probably most on here wouldn't know them , except Dewi Pws a Band ...Awesome Welsh music and Dewi is brilliant in-between the songs with his stories

I'm lucky enough to have seen him on home soil in Metlife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ in 2017. Although i'd love to have seen him in the 70s/80s. Never got to see him with Clarence or Danny either  I have a relatively extensive mp3 collection of 85 live dates, mainly the official releases not bootlegs. Missing a few if anyone else collects?
