AC DC or Queen

@emilyalt absolutely correct, you just put it so perfectly, I just love so many different genres, there is so very little music that I can say, don’t enjoy.

Thank you 😍

@emilyalt I’m with both you girls! (Writing as I’m listening to Aydio) My tastes have changed a lot as I moved through life, but music has been absolutely vital.

Being sensitive and emotional, music gave me a language to understand  and express my feelings in a world that was indifferent and insensitive to the way I felt.

Music has been my life blood, my salvation, my passion, although I’m not as nutty about it as I was as a youngster.  I craved to be part of the biz like being a musician, sound engineer, DJ, etc. but I never made a career out of it, thank god. Music from any source, if it’s authentic will stir my soul and nourish me.

If it's good, it'll find a place in my library.

My library is similar - diverse. Lots of electronic and '80s new age music, including Wendy Carlos, Tangerine Dream, Eno, some Melotron. Annie Haslam, Procol Harem, Thijs van Leer, Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM), Tarja Turunen, and so on. 

However, having said that, I have one Queen album and nothing AC/DC, so it looks as if that is my final answer.

@carlafirst11 there’s a hundred I can pick, Freddie, Carlos, Hendrix, Page, Trower, Stevie Ray,  I could go on forever.

Not many of those are alive today. During the summer of 1990, a friend and I saw a local fave, Jeff Healey, plus Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray Vaughan in Toronto's Skydome. During the next week, Stevie had died in the helicopter crash. Since then, Healey died of cancer and Beck passed away recently. RIP

@missylinda there are just too many to pick one. I could name a hundred that move me. One of Van Morrisons, Have I told you lately, would be right up there.

@jillleanne Brian May? Yeah, sorry. Can't stand it.

Love his work with the badgers though 😜😁

You've never, ever gone electric Ellie? But even Martin Carthy has played electric guitar! 😉

When I learned to play guitar, I was listening to lots of folk and psychedelia (and psychedelic folk!) alongside run-of-the-mill rock. As much as I loved (and still love) folk, the psychedelia won, based on the racket you can make. It has left me with a right-hand technique that combines plectrum and picking - like a budget Roger McGuinn! - which I think gives me a 'sound' 🙂

That version of 'Thunderstruck' by Luca Stricagnoli is pretty cool 🙂

@caroline2k I am so jealous of you plucker. Learning guitar was a interest I always wanted to do but life got in the way. As a youth I was briefly a singer in a band mainly doing DeepPurple covers, love 'em, I was no Ian Gillan! I remember Strange Kinda Woman was one of the set. Rather apt looking back.

@melaniejames Thanks, Melanie. Sure. Carlos Santana is a favorite. He called himself Devadip.

If you want to enjoy another talented guitarist from my part of the world look for El Negro Garcìa López in YouTube. An Argentine admirer of Jimmy Hendrix. One of the top Latino American guitarists of his time. Unluckily he was killed in a car accident about ten years ago.

Or the folk rock group PorSuiGieco, although they only played together for three years the group  is one of the best rock groups in Spanish.

@margprodue Hi Marg, ah yes, the intro to "Apache" is playing in my head as I type. First song I tried to play on an old hand me down acoustic guitar.

These days, I own three guitars, two great Aussie made Maton's and of course, a Fender Stratocaster, like "Hank" plays.  Cant be a "broken down rocker" without a "Strat"

Plus ,by sheer coincidence, my brother has just handed back to me a box of casette tapes. (Remember them!!!)

There are SIX "Shads" cassettes in that box, most of them originals.

And to really.. show my age, I still have at least two "steroes" capable of playing them

Happy dressing  (and Shads playing)

Caty.

PS and The Ventures were good too.. Now I have "Walk Dont Run" on repeat in my head...
