North -v- South (ears)

[Gmanuk101]

I tend to find the southern listener likes soft music whilst the Northern prefers more straight forward no nonsense presentations....

[Alex_UK]

Well as I'm currently spinning Café Del Mar Vol.9 I'm in no position to argue! :lol:

[twickers]

I think the posts on AOS are becoming more confrontational. What is needed is a massive fight so everyone can get it out of there systems:lol:

[DSJR]

I get enough confrontation on the Harbeth and AVI forums thanks very much - both forum owners taking totally fixed and utterly narrow positions/views and unwilling to consider a different point of view under any circumstances.

I listen to anything and everything and refuse to conform to a musical steretype :steam:

Absolutely. I'm soft as SHITE me! :lol:

[Gmanuk101]

I am listening to handbag right now.....

[MartinT]

...and I'm listening to Alt-J. There are other times when I'm listening to Black Sabbath.

I don't mind being a southern softie, though ;)

[John]

Lol Being a southerner I must be such a softie in my music taste.... Damn must burn all my metal music then

I'm just polishing my baseball bat as we speak!

Dunno where you got that idea from.

[RichB]

And this from the man who apparently can't get on with prog rock but whose favorite artist is Frank Zappa.

Except during those 'special moments', around Ruth, eh big boy? :eyebrows:

;)

Marco.

[Thing Fish]

Dunno about the north/south thing but I find the older I get the mellower the music I buy gets...:scratch:

Currently listening to 'The Staves' new album and it's brilliant...:) Whereas my Clash albums haven't left the shelf for years.

[The Grand Wazoo]

What about southerners who moved north, or vice versa?
Actually, I think I may be both of those things!

[walpurgis]

Well I'm rapidly approaching retiring age, but I've just been belting out a bit of 'Hallucinogen' (great stuff).

Nothing wrong with a bit of 'head bangin' music! (LOUD of course)

[synsei]

Well, I live in the Midlands so I've got the best of both worlds... :D

[walpurgis]

Or could it be that you're just neither one thing or the other Dave? :ner:

[synsei]

Oh f*ck, MOtR :eek: Where's me shotgun? Goodbye cruel world!!! :lol:

[walpurgis]

Oh f*ck, MOtR :eek: Where's me shotgun? Goodbye cruel world!!! :lol:

We shall miss you, but it's the honourable thing under the circumstances. ;)

+1 tbh i don't listern to that much Prog these days, i do mostly 60's USA Psych bands anything from a bit of Sunshine/Psych to Garage/Psych, more dreamy the better..

[The Grand Wazoo]

Oh f*ck, MOtR :eek: Where's me shotgun? Goodbye cruel world!!! :lol:

Bugger, bugger, bugger - I've forgotten to post that thing for you Dave - that must be why you're so musically confused! I promise to sort it on Monday (I can't really remember, did I tell you my memory was shite?)

I said bugger, not begorra!

[synsei]

Begorrah be buggered, I don't know where the heck I am now.... TAXI!!!! :D

[Barry]

Just what are you Guys talking about?

Southern born and raised. Went 'up North' to university, then 'darn sarf' to do a PhD and remained in the south to work. Now retired and resigned to staying put. :rolleyes:

As regards musical tastes, well I'm learning all the time (largely thanks to the thread " Spinning Today ...") and am always open to new music. If I do buy music that might be perceived as 'soft' by some, that is more likely due to my appreciating certain genres or artists now more than I used to. That's my excuse for buying the likes of Nina Simone, Dionne Wawick, Shirley Bassey and Sarah Vaughan.

[Joe]

The only record anyone actually needs is Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
