I love music and I listen to almost every genre. Depending on mood I'll listen to different things. For instance if I'm taking a long trip in the car on a vacation I need to at some point have either hip hop or incredibly hard rock to get my blood flowing. I actually have an extensive knowledge in hip hop artists, albums, etc. I've owned hundreds of albums in that genre alone.

Here's one of the most impressive bands I've heard and its REALLY different. Try to listen to all 10 minutes of this song, it will put you on a journey that you almost never hear a band able to create. Mikael Åkerfeldt is one of the greatest rock vocalist I've ever heard. His range is simply unbelievable. He has what most in the hard rock genre would consider the most impressive "growl, death metal vocals" then he can go into a pristine "clean" vocal hitting notes where you're like: "Is this the same guy who was doing the death metal vocals just minutes prior?". They will go from death metal to clean in the same song. Their song construction, writing, and musicianship is incredible. Mikael Åkerfeldt not only does the vocals but plays incredibly intricate/difficult guitar solos while singing. More people should know about them! Oh and he is incredible live. He sounds as good as he does on an album as he does in a live show. Good workout music too. It can really pump you up!


If you want to go on another journey try this one out too 😉 (this song starts off gentle for several minutes then gets dark quickly. 🥳). Get a good pair of headphones and enjoy! Everyone should have good headphones and an amp to make their music sound its best.

You should check out Candiria.   Little Hip hop, metal and jazz infusion.   From Brooklyn.   One of my faves forever.

During dinner or if I just want to relax. Nothing wrong with Frank Sinatra and some scotch lol

I like all kinds of music. The older I get the more relaxing I like my music.  Sade, zero 7, I like some more eccentric stuff too on my relaxing music playlists.. I'll give you acouple I doubt you gusy ever heard of and probably would not choose to listen to...lol

OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM 


Check out these two ... It may seem weird at first, but they really grow on you. It's repetitive compared to Western Music but that is what it is...it's mantra style and is trance like....it's meant for sing along...  anyway see if you can dig it...

This is one of the most talented musicians out there you (may have) not heard about. Ben Kenney. He's an amazing solo artist who has 5 solo albums where he plays every instrument on. He has been the Bassist for Incubus for a long time and has also been a Bassist for The Roots.

He is from Brielle, NJ. I first heard his music playing in one of his first bands Supergrub, back when they played at places in the Jersey Shore area.

Here is a look at how talented he is

If your going to listen to music. Do it right. I’m not talking kind of music but your equipment.

I’m running a Yamaha rd 2080RX but only use it’s power source for home theatre atmos and rear surround sound. I have a power amp running my 2 front abs center channel speakers abs dual 12 inch HSU technology subs. I want to hear the guitar pick on the string and feel the bass drums hit . I use Klipch towers and CVC center channel all Klipch atmos and rear. So if it’s a digital movie or digital digital music. I feel like I’m there live.

You need power to get proper debth and headroom. 250 watt x2 front and 200 center. 140 for each of my surround sound. People say you don’t need that power especially for surround sound but when I upgraded yes you do!!! Subs are 600 watt each RMS 1300 peak. Tons of debth

My music is classic rock, rock. So I’m Bob Sieger, Elton John type stuff but also do Bon Jovi abs similar music. I stick to 70s and 80s

Got bose speakers for my computer years ago. Makes a big difference.

I actually wanted Bose until I heard separates. One thing is true. Especially with anything under 80 Hz or above 1000KHZ. Size and power matters.

Ill listen to just about anything but my go to for cooking or hanging in the pool or just chilling has got to be Reggae. I grew up listening to 80s music Hair Bands and Pop Bands that quickly turned to Beastie Boys and Rap and then Punk, Hardcore & Metal. All the while I also listened to Enya, Loreena McKennitt and Carlos Nakai a lot during my introduction to meditation in the early 2000s.

Some of my favorite Jazz...

Stanley Turrentine - Blue Hour the complete session

Art Pepper - Meets the rhythm section

David “Fat Head” Newman - House of David

The complete Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong on Verve

Granted all this music is older than me, but it’s still as fantastic as it was the day of it’s release.

I like all kinds of music, if anyone is trying to inject a little Jazz in their life any of these albums is a great start.

Going to see Willies outlaw tour on 9/17 at the Veteran’s Memorial amphitheater in VA Beach,,, can’t wait!

Go
