Inspired by a recent pillage of my CD collection, and a recommendation from Tony (Illawarra) to listen to some newer titles, I've been spending plenty of time listening to music lately !
So what are you peeps listening to while repairing / shopping / playing your pins (or driving in the car) ?
Here's mine;
American Soldier - Queensryche (Thanks Tony - I'm right into them again) - A really great progressive rock/metal band with a killer new album
Mindcrime at the Moore - Queensryche - The complete "Operation Mindcrime" album performed live. WOW
The Best of Both worlds - Van Halen - "Greatest hits" - just some old school 80's classics
Alive! - KISS - Best live album of all time - Favorite album of all time, just defies "time" - I love listening to this album !
Rock and Roll Over - KISS - Awesome 70's Hard Rock. KISS at their best.
A Change of Seasons - Dream Theater - Not an album, but their "single" - which runs for 23 minutes !
So I guess you can see my influences, and what I listen to when I'm working on pins.
What's in your CD player when you are in the garage ?

I usually have the radio on WS FM (Sydney) who play 70's 80's and 90's music.. Fri and Sat nights is mostly Disco stuff but the music fits the Pin era .
As my 2 teenagers daughters say "your so gay Dad !"
-
I'm currently listening to House Music from the late 80s/early 90s ()

At the moment, Saxon's Lionheart in the car & Ted Nugent's Weekend Warrior in the shed.
Might have to dig the Queensryche out again .
I've only got one of their albums 'Empire' . How 'bout the start , the answering machine "sorry, I'm just.... it's starting to hit me like a.. um a .... two tonne heavy thing' !! then the power chords . Awesome those guy's rock. ^^^

As Molly Meldrum used to say - "Do yourself a favor..."
Empire was an incredible release - "Silent Lucidity" is an all time favorite of mine - sometimes reminds me of "Comfortably Numb", as does "Lifting Shadows off a dream" by Dream Theater.
"American Soldier" is VERY much like "Empire", but is more of a Concept album, like "The Wall".
Seems there is a lot of love for Pink Floyd, and to cover one of their songs would be insanely difficult for any other bands other than DT or queensryche - So here's the both of them together covering "Comfortably Numb"
-
Wow you guys are old LOL
Never heard of half of them.
ACDC
METALLICA
RAMMSTEIN
etc
But the jukeboxes are just set to random most of the time so anything can come on.
-
cant get Absolution by Muse off the CD player at the moment and Stone roses are getting a good thrashing.. but i must have been in a mild moment tonight as i had Beck playing... but if the vinyl comes out then it could be anything from 60's psychedelia to janis Joplin, capt beefheart... oh yeh and after a few beers and playing not fixing pinball i do like to crank Pinball Wizard by the Who up REALLY f**kIN LOUD!!!!

The Who rock, saw them a few weeks back at the vineyards, how good is that intro to 'We won't get fooled again' cranked up loud ! thats been getting plenty of airtime in the car since then too. The boys can still rock. ^^^

In no specific order, but always cycling thru my system......
Helloween (entire collection).
Black Sabbath (entire collection).
Iron Maiden (entire collection).
Dio (entire collection).

Actually - AC/DC are a 70's band - where most of the other bands mentioned here are from.
But you make an interesting point, there's not much music these days that compares with what we grew up on and listened to. I often watch "Video Hits" and just feel totally at a loss with today's mainstream music.
-
Your right there Nino what they play on tv these days is total crap. I also like Credence clearwater revival, the eagles alice cooper Kiss etc Im going to have to have a listen to a few of the others mentioned
-

Thats what my folks used to say! LOL!! you lot are getting old!
In the early 70's they were all "long haired layabouts" - punk in late 70's convinced them that society was on the brink of collapse, the 80's was just total rubbish- 90's and grunge was just bloody noise!
Only music i find painful is soppy soul R&B and rap... but ive never liked either at anytime. I had hoped that rap would die off sometime in the 80's but every dickhead that can recite a nursery rhyme seems to find it clever and so it stays with us
-
I sense a lot of negativity there about rap Gav sound like you hate it as much as most normal people lol.
-
(c)Rap has existed for Sooooo long because their are Sooooo many simpletons to support it *%* #*# :lol
It's almost a lost art for bands to be musical or talented anymore....sad but true.

My brother likes Rap he comes over all excited WOW listen to this its the best ever. I have no idea what there saying let alone see whats any good about it lol. But saying that i like some eminem stuff but only because he is paying the shit out of people lol
-

You will also get the new Queensryche CD (American Soldier) that Nino and myself are right into at the moment with your 150 old arcade pix during the week *%*
-

Death Magnetic is a great album, they seem to have sorted thier shit out after st. anger.
I have the cd and dvd of S&M awesome album, great to see most of the orchestra members getting right into it and enjoying themselves.
