So what kind of music do you listen to? I listen to a form of country called Red Dirt and Alt country( no mainstream country).

I listen to specific bands more than I do genres.
Band of Horses
The War on Drugs
Cold War Kids
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

Those bands are all featuring pretty routinely in my rotation right now, among some others.

Right before I got into the music I am listening to I was into the last 3 you mentioned. And of course Manchester Orchestra
Manchester Orchestra and Silver Sun Pickups are two others in my go-to playlist right now.
Looking through the Youtube list of stuff I typically hear on a daily basis I am shocked at the variety of the list. If you asked me a couple years ago I would probably have only 2 or 3 of these listed.
- Metallica
- Megadeth
- Disturbed
- The Cranberries
- Jewel
- Scorpions
- Guns N' Roses
- R.E.M
- The Offspring
- Evanescence
- Seether
- Skid Row
- Alanis Morissette
- Radiohead

I listen to whatever's on 1st Wave. I just can't let go of the 80's.
Salsa (I'm not Latino, I just love the music)
Some country (my wife's favorite)
Some pop
A little reggae

I’m all over the place. On my flight this morning I listened to The Beatles, Old 97’s, Das Racist, Neil Young, and Quicksilver Messenger Service.
Me too. Saw them in Atlanta a couple weeks ago and it’s still just as good a show as the first time I saw them in ‘01.
I have only seen the Old 97’s once, but it was recent. They played a fest in Key West in February and they were a highlight of the fest. A lot of fans did not know them because it is more Red Dirt/ Texas Country, but they brought the house down.
First I got to see a private show with Rhett Miller and Evan Felker( Turnpike Troubadors) do a song swap in a small theater. It was amazing. Then a day later Old 97’s absolutely killed it on the main stage.

That’s very cool. I try to never miss a local show whether it’s full band or Rhett solo.
Should you ever want to check out something a bit different, Murray put out a solo record about 10 years ago. It’s way different from Old 97’s tunes but I’ve always dug it.

The War on Drugs - A Deeper Understanding was the best album last year. Trying to not be an old man and go to the late show (starts at 12:15) by TWOD at Variety on Friday, but that would hurt Saturday morning.

Late to the party as usual, in last few years I seem to have become a neo-Deadhead.
With the rise of the internet/individual songs on demand, people no longer seem to appreciate the art of making a great album...But the Dead's American Beauty is right up there among the best ever made IMO.
One of the best live shows ever. Seen them a few times. Never disappointed.
Also saw the Toasters at Yeomans when it was a dirty dive bar on Davis Island a few years ago.
I listen to a ridiculously wide range of music, probably more diverse than anyone I've ever met. Having said that, I never heard of 75% of the bands listed in this thread.
We must have been at the same show in '01. The old Roxy in Buckhead, right? First time I saw them too. My friend turned me on to them just a few weeks before that show. I loved them instantly, which has honestly never happened with a group I've seen live without already knowing all their songs. I saw them a couple more times at the Variety Playhouse, but not on their last few Atlanta visits. With kids, it's getting tougher for me to drag my carcass out of the house, particularly on week nights when they tend to be in town. Or I'm just getting old.
No, I was still in school so it was at the Cow Haus.
I have a pretty strict “no meeting people from the internet” policy but next time they come to town let’s crush some cheap beer at the show.
I have 3 or so Pandora channels that are on depending who is in the car with me.
Trolls soundtrack (all the Disney movies)
Rage Against the Machine
Franz Ferdinand

No kidding. But then again, if we're being honest, do you really give two flips? I mean, come on. We had the golden age of music, am I right?
I’m pretty eclectic in my listening habits just like my food habits. I have some preferences (generally don’t like modern country and western or hard/unmelodic rap) but even those I’ll violate if the artist is actually exceptional. I tend to listen to more grunge and 90s/00s punk than anything else, but that doesn’t constitute even half of what I listen to. I’m probably at about 25% grunge and 90s/00s, 25% all other rock from light “yacht rock” and lighter alternative fair barely above folk in “hardness” to the heaviest of heavy metals and hard rock. The other half is a mix of classical, pop, various forms and time periods of rap, bluegrass, blues, “outlaw blues”, jazz, New Orleans brass bands, house, etc...
Lol well I'm 40 so...No kidding. But then again, if we're being honest, do you really give two flips? I mean, come on. We had the golden age of music, am I right?
Ah, I was thinking you were already in the ATL at that time. I forget how long ago 2001 is...
Old '97s is probably the only group I like where the word "country" can be used to describe them. But I'm probably different than most of their fans who prefer their rootsy, twangy songs to their more "pop" songs. I like both, but I must admit I enjoy their poppy songs most. Maybe because I was first exposed to them with Satellite Rides. I sort of lost track of them for a couple years and then re-discovered them in '08 with Blame it on Gravity. Loved that from the first listen. Probably too slick for the "true" fans, but I like it. Every now and then I'll check on what's going on with the band and realize they've done a new album and usually buy it. Haven't been grabbed by anything the same way since Gravity, but all their albums are good. Keep me in mind next time they roll through town.
I enjoy the full range — the older, more country stuff is great but i have always been a fan of Rhett Miller’s solo work as well and like how the pop driven stuff has filtered into the band’s work.
Their latest album, Graveyard Whistling, has a bunch of terrific tunes.
Ok, so I am caught up on their albums, as I have heard Graveyard Whistling. Agree on Rhett's solo stuff. Last time I saw them in Atlanta he and Murray acted as the group's opening acts, each performing a solo set before the rest of the group joined them for the main act. Good stuff.
