What kind of rap have you been listening to? :grin:

Rap is such a huge genre that it's a disservice to pigeonhole it into either dumb lyrics or gangsta rap. It's like someone saying they hate fantasy novels because Twilight is targeted at preteen girls.

There's hick-hop (country rap), 35-year-old single white mom rap (Drake), political rap, rappers who tell stories through their bars, absolute bangers (party anthems), mellow stuff for when you're kicking back, and so much more.

Christmas music is a dark, dark place for me. Im like a fatty scoffing cheeseburgers and crying afterwards. I know its wrong but I still do it.

I draw the absolute f***ing line at Cliff Richard's Christmas atrocities though. That c*** is one of the worst musical criminals of all time

Rap is a genre I dont have much interest in but I dont dismiss it out of hand. Some of those guys are very talented writers

And that's completely fair. Different strokes for different folks and all that. I'm not chastising you for not liking it, just making sure others reading know there are numerous subgenres.

Now, Jimmy is someone we can agree on. Shame he died so young :(

I respect it, but I feel like that's music you play at a funeral.

I was really waiting for the break beat, and the tempo to jump up and then dancers come out and start twerking! :1990_dancing.gif:

Anyone who enjoys classical music and lives in London, you should go to the proms.
~60 concerts a year by world class orchestras at the Albert Hall. Its not expensive

What's everyones favourite Xmas song?

Without putting too much thought into it I'd propbably say The Pogues - Fairy tale of Newyork.

George Michaels - Last Christmas .......... although a big slice of 80's cheese, def gets you feeling nostalgic as I've probably heard it every Christmas of my life since I can remember.

Blues yes

I love 50`s rocknroll, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, BB King etc. A lot of that crosses over into blues of course

Then theres the wonderful Credence Clearwater Revival who, to me, are more blues influenced than anything else

Im a huge fan of the present day JD McPherson, who is heavily influenced by rockabilly, blues and early rocknroll

And finally in the UK we have a subgenre of blues rock known as pub rock, which was big in the 70s and 80s.

Top of that particular tree are the legendary Dr Feelgood, with their amazing guitarist Wilko Johnson. Wilko, faced with a terminal cancer diagnosis, decided to carry on playing gigs until he died. His surgeon phoned him up a few years later to ask why he was still alive..... long story short, he is still alive and beat the cancer.

Nice! I've been really digging Blues/Funk/Rock stuff lately. St. Paul and the broken bones, Monophonics, Dan & Drum.

We have a local guy here in St. Louis that made a lot of noise in the Blues industry. He's young (I think 26 now), but has an old Blues sound/soul. His name is Marquis Knox. I've seen him about 20 times now. I know he did some tours over in Europe this past year. He's one of my favs right now, yes I'm a little bias cause he's from my city, but still good.

I'll give him a listen, cheers for the tip

If JD McPherson is ever playing near you, definately go see him live. His gigs are buzzing, amazing atmosphere. Hes from Oklahoma
