Dirtsucks 0 #1 March 17, 2001 I was just wondering what other skydivers like to listen to. I personally am into rock. I know that’s pretty vague, but I’m pretty vague myself. If you can get inside my head please tell me what you see, I’d love to know what’s in there! But really, I love a lot of newer stuff, Linkin Park, Korn, Manson, and that kind of stuff, and also a lot of 80’s (hair band) stuff. Def Leppard is still right next to God as far as I’m concerned. I should mention that the song I always associate with skydiving is She’s so High by Tal Bachman (probably didn’t spell that right) because I heard it a million times while waiting to do AFF in Baldwin, MN (seemed an appropriatate song watching a cute girl under canopy). So what is everybody else into? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskeychick 0 #2 March 17, 2001 Wow, someone else that likes glam rock. That's something I secretly like, but hardly ever fess up to. Reminds me of my teenage years.-WC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miked10270 0 #3 March 17, 2001 OK, I'll play,Roxy Music from the 70's-80's (then again, they are connected to my "claim to fame). I've got FREE tickets to their reunion concert in Newcastle this summer (YES!!).Nena Kerner from the 80's-90's WHAT A VOICE! (at least when she's singing in German), & I have an everlasting image of when she walked on stage for a concert.... Man, all she did was walk across the stage wearing jeans & a 'T' shirt & I'd guarantee that every male in the audience had the same physical reaction (every female thought "Tart" & then probably hit the man they were with on the jaw causing 'said men to bite their tongues)!Early Pink Floyd ("The Wall" was the biggest sell-out in the history of Rock)!!Ragtime Jazz - Satchmo & Ella.Wagner - when I'm contemplating plans to re-integrate the former colonies!!!!!!!!!Mike D10270.

Doasfu 0 #4 March 17, 2001 I like a lot of stuff. My favorite band right now is The Magnetic Fields (any other fans) but I dig all sorts of stuff. I'm really getting into blues, but I'm a clueless newbie in that area.If anyone wants a good overview of what I really dig ('cause you're all dying to know more about that enigmatic doasfu chap) or you just want to hear some really damn good music, check out the real audio feed at WYCE Radio, where I used to work a few years ago. This is a great community radio station out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is one of the few places left in the world where the on-air DJs actually pick the music they play. Their format is really eclectic folk, blues, jazz, rock and world music.Come to think of it, maybe I should get a show there again. It was a blast.Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #6 March 17, 2001 QuoteRoxy Music from the 70's-80's (then again, they are connected to my "claim to fame).Please digress Mike.My favourite band is U2 - I was lucky enough to meet and have a pint with the Edge in a club in Dublin in 96 (Mean Fiddler, Howie B was guest DJ). He was already my favourite musician and he turned out to be a REALLY nice guy. (that's my claim to fame - apart from being a skydiver of course).Another good band is JJ72 - very good young Irish band (just released their debut album).Favourite song : Scar Tissue (chili peppers) - it is the track on one of my AFF videos, instant flashbacks whenever I hear it now./s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #9 March 17, 2001 I'll listen to just about anything that isn't hillbilly, disco or pre-packaged boy/girl band crap. Most of the music I listen to is kinda dark & moody.I've lately been on a huge Offspring kick -- particularly Americana (see you in Walla-Walla!). I also listen to a lot of Powerman 5000, KoRn, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Pixies, Metallica (up to the Black Album), Megadeth, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath.I also like classical, primarily Mozart & Bach.Re: Def Leppard & 80s stuff. Def were good up through Pyromania. The rest of their stuff was power ballad stuff. Ugh. I grew up on a lot of this. Motley Crue, Iron Maiden (they were the real deal), ACDC (especially the old Bon Scott stuff), Judas Priest. Cinderlla was about as glam as I got. Yeah they were a bunch of pretty boys, but their music actually rocked. Crue started kinda glam and then turned away from the Dark Side. ------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sigsby 0 #10 March 17, 2001 I sure hope I'm not the only Deadhead skydiver. The spirit of the Grateful Dead must go on. I still haven't seen a tie dye canopy but I would realy like one. Get up, Fall down, No problem!sigsby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iflyme 0 #11 March 17, 2001 Classic Rock, as I was born in 1961, but I enjoy Jazz (and not that "smooth" jazz shit), Classical after a tough day at work... and of course playing my acoustic guitar. BTW, Tal Bachman's Dad, Randy, was in the Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive. He ROCKS!!!Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doasfu 0 #20 March 18, 2001 It's funny, but I just realized that when I mention I used to have a radio show to any given group of whuffos, it's big news... most of them can't imagine doing anything so exciting. :)Just a side thought.Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattb 0 #22 March 18, 2001 I'm probably the odd one out here - an alternative country fan. I like a lot of things from bluegrass to rock but mix country and rock together and nothing sounds better. (IMHO)-mb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
