What 'white' muso's get you groovin'?

I'm just starting to get into maroon 5. I never really listened to them before but after i heard adam levine on the wild horses duet he did with alicia keys and on my favorite song off of Kayne west new CD I got interested. he's got an interesting sound.
I like fiona apple, nelly furtado, shakira(sometimes), I like greenday every now and then.

Disturbed, Mudvayne, Sevendust, The Doors, Flaw, El Nino, Cold, Stained, The Beatles, Rammstein (German band)

aah... if only I'd been around to see The Doors play alive (and on the right continent, I might add) Jim Morrison.... now THERE was a dude.... before the beard + lard at least.

Yep Ramstein gets played (is that the right word?) on radio here. As for the Beatles - I'm over them. Saturation-of-our-nation.

Kenny G
Peter White

Fine

Thanks for all the interesting responses - and, thanks for responding!!

I've been quite suprised that a few of you really like Kenny G - he doesn't promote his cds or tour here much since the late 80's, so I don't know what he's playing live these days.

The thing I love most about music is that it is both a unique personal, individual expression of creativity (celebration of life or a political statement) AND a universal language.

I like quite a diverse selection of music. I know I couldn't live without music. Usually one of the reasons I travel to a particular place overseas is to hear the music.

.

Well I have a list of Black Rock bands I love. Seven, The rapper Tech9 and Bad Brains.

um yeah... I sort of figured we ALL had a list of black music/musicians.

I was curious about who - if ANY - white musos got African Americans' feet tappin'.

That was the question. Not about who is better'n'who. Like... I wondered if ANY white muso's even hit the radar. Understand?
.

I would have to say Kraftwerk; they were huge back in middle school when I used to breakdance. And Depeche Mode.

I saw Kraftwerk for the first time 'live' when they toured Australia around 2 years ago. They still 'have it' (Europe Endless/Electricity). What was really cool-as was to see their audio-visual with old computer graphics and symbols, lol. Very retro.
.

Art gurl there's alot of more Black rock bands out there. A whole list. I wish Rage against the Machine would come back. I forgot to metion Fishbone and Sevendust.

I'm a big fan of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Fall out Boys. Blink 182, Linkin Park, Korn were my faviorte back in High School.

now you're on it.

I am really digging on this new british singer james blunt. he has a song out called "your beautiful." It's kind of weird sounding but something about it caught my attention right away not to mention him stripping naked in the snow on his video.

WOULD THE REAL BLACK MAN or WOMAN STAND UP?


what African band or group OR musician makes you move......lets see....



I see your true colours...........

could you at least READ threads before you post?

what's your freakin point?

the question, one more time...

WHAT WHITE MUSIC/MUSO'S (IF ANY) MAKE YOU MOVE?

gee whiz, why would I ask that question on an African American site? Ummmmmmmm.... maybe coz I am curious.

You want to start a thread that asks "what black muso's get you movin'" then just do it. Hey... it's really easy to do.
.

The Homo what are you talking about? What is your question.

Are you one of those crazy people. That think Blacks should only listen to Urban radio and music.

Just ignore 'him' gurl. Since your last visit, it's been revealed he's a dimwit troll.

Thanks Art. Figuers he is.

Johnny Cash, Ultraspank, Madonna, Paul Oakenfold, Moby, Duran Duran

I like Moby too - seen him live a few times and have a few cds.

OK... I guess I should put up some names. I have a large collection of music from a lot of different cultures and music styles from PiL to Torv Gustavsen Trio to Kenny Dorhan and Herbie Hancock.

Here's a few, old and new white bands...
Australia: Nick Cave, Ed Keupper, PNAU, Deepchild, Vince Jones, Cut Copy
NZ: Strawpeople
US: Thievery Corporation, Moby, Pixies, Joe Jackson, Wolf Mother
UK: The Cure, The The, The Au Pairs, Stoned Roses

First and foremost, Metalica till death.

After that the list gets long and complicated. 3 Doors Down, Matchbox 20, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, Nickleback, Nine Inch Nails, Papa Roach. That's just off the top of my head.

I have to give you credit on this thread, art_gurl. You specifically asked about white musicians. You did not ask about white music. By asking the question the way you did, it was easy to answer. If you had asked about white music, the question would have been impossible to answer, because there is no such thing as white music (or black music for that matter). You might be suprised at how many people are unclear on this concept.

Props Gurl!

Listening to alot of AWB lately, "If I ever lose this heaven", and " Love of your own", As well as Johnny Cash, for some reason I always loved "Cocaine Blues" No offense to the Wife!!

Black Viking I love the bands you pick. Anyone like Latin blue's singers Los Lonely boys. love them. They remember of my friends dad band. When I lived back in New Mexico.

I'm not a big fan of Los Lonely Boys. But you mentioned some bands earlier that I love and forgot to mention. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink 182, Linkin Park. I like that new song that just came out by Fallout Boys, but the jury is still out on them.

Oh ok. Yeah I know. Fallout boys are great.

Do you like tech nine. He's not a rocker or a rapper. He's a mixture of both.

I've never heard Tech Nine. Is he a rocker/rapper in the style of Rage Against the Machine, or more in the style of Body Count?

Both. You heard of Esham? Tech would be like him.

Nope. Never heard of Esham. But I will check out Tech Nine. I like your taste, so I'll take your recomendation.

Why thank you. I like your's too. Are you an AOL memeber?

Fortunately, no. I can't stand AOL. In my experience they make everything so complicated, even they don't understand it. I also don't like the way that AOL bans certain websites simply because they don't agree with the content. The web is about the free flow of information, not censorship. Just my opinion.

I understand. I didn't know that AOL censors websites. That's crazy. I wonder how come they don't censors there message boards. Full of junk. Do you have yahoo.

Yes, I do have Yahoo.

Send me a PM sometime. I like your taste in music.

What's your yahoo address. I will give you mind.

I sent you a PM with my e-mail address. I've never done a PM before, so you'll have to let me know if you got it. If not, I'll try again.

-Greenday

-Joss Stone

-Queen

-Mr. Big

-Janis Joplin

-Patsy Cline

Joss and Janis are the queens. Love Patsy Cline. i'm glad your fan of Greenday. i'm really a bad fan of Brit Punk Rock groups. Not much on American one's. To EMO and whinny. What ever happen to Smashing Pumpkins and the Cranberries. They were also some of my most favorite groups in Middle School. All the good ones seem to be gone. All we have is that horrible sounding group. Called Simple Plan and all those other EMO whinners.

I think the Cranberries just came out with a new album. Also, Billy Corrigan from Smashing Pumpkins just put out a solo album. Smashing Pumpkins broke up, I believe, because the bassist died.

Simple Plan sucks soooooo bad!

Thanks Vik. Hey. Are you busy right now. I was wondering if I can IM you right now.

Yeah, I'm busy. I'm actually at work, so I'm constantly running in and out of the office. Some other time though. I'd love to IM with you.

Oh ok. I understand. Talk to you soon. I hope you have a good morning at work.

Portishead*(I really love this group's music, especially their self-titled album Portishead, the beats are OUT OF THIS WORLD!)

Tori Amos (I love Amos because she puts a lot of thought into her songwriting)

I must confess to liking Tori Amos.... I love the live disc in her "To Venus And Back" set... I love the energy...

I really like Johnny Cash...

I used to listen to a lot more white musicians than I do now ... I even listened to hard rock/heavy metal once ... I still have a lot in my record collection.... but in recent years I MOSTLY listen to black music.. that's just where my head is now...

Yes, Amos' music is profound. She writes a lot of songs that are introspective.

U2.

The other day, I bought the "Back Street Boys" greatest hits album. I have no idea WTF came over me...

The sad part is... I'm actually enjoying it. I must be getting old!

I was a huge fan of Portishead... still have their cd... you might also like Cocteau Twins... from the 80's but very interesting, lush moody music. Sugar Hiccup is one of their best songs... don't try to make sense of their lyrics.... that's not the point.
I always see Tori as a modern-day more accessible version of Kate Bush. But I like Kate better. At least her first 3 albums.
