Off the beaten track
by pop i suppose you mean bands like boyzone the spicegirls?

alot of people dont realise that pop music just means popular music thats why i picked that one, i listen to whatever has a good beat :D
 
Well I'm a bit of an old hippy rocker, can't beat a bit of Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen (Is AWESOME!) , Led Zep even Buckethead is getting a look in these days... but it all has it's roots in folk and I reckon even world music is folk too in it's origin. So I voted for folk.

Anyone ever heared of the Lomax recordings of folk blues in the US that Moby took and made dancy? For some classic folk blues try and get a listen...awesome. Oh yeagh and what about the Blueman Group? Saw them live a couple of night ago in Glasgow...pure entertainment bril!

Extreme death metal, obviously. I am a big Carcass fan - and, no, I'm not being ironic.

However, am also an indie kid from the eighties, so anything like The Wedding Present would not go amiss either.

It's all about the indie here
little man tate, the gaslight anthem.....

agree with eric methven though, john tams is absolutely fantastic, saw him in a barn a few weeks back

but anyone that likes rock or indie i'd recommend the gaslight anthem to, natural successors to springsteen, from the same town as well

When music is improvised - then for me it's jazz. You're "jazzing" it up.

When I listen to flamenco guitar, it's jazz guitar. So is gipsy guitar jazz? - Django says so. Flamenco singing or portuguese fado, they are just another form of the blues. Is the blues jazz? Listen closely to Billie Holiday and tell me - she's a great jazz singer - she is the queen of the blues.

Rock? Listen to Buddy Guy (Clapton and Hendrix certainly did). Now is that rock? blues? - it's all jazz.

And if you want something that's modern - listen to Ornette Coleman - eg "Free jazz" That'll clear your mind!

And for us bushcrafters? Music for swinging in the hammock from Sonny Rollins while we enjoy the balmy heat - that's jazz man!
