First of all, I'm new to this forum, so hi all! I'm a 17 (almost 18) year old boy living in Belgium and I joined this forum to ask you and myself what my music taste is. (is that a correct word in the English language?).
I'm a huge movie fan, but my music taste is...undeveloped let's say. I always listened to movie soundtracks because it has a connection with my hobby, but for the rest of it I did not searched what sort of artists or bands I liked. It is just recently that I became interested in music. Too bad it's very hard to just "jump in" the world of music. I have absolutely no idea what my kind of genre is and I have no knowledge about artists/bands.
That's where you guys come in. I recently discovered some artists with a great voice, lyrics and rhythm in my opinion. Because you guys know a lot about music (at least a few guys here), you could help me finding new artists.
I like:
-Bob Dylan ( Almost all his songs. Every single song of the Highway 61 revisited album is amazing imo.)
-Bruce Springsteen (Atlantic City, Nebraska and the Born In the USA cd)
- Buffalo Springfield (For what it's worth)
- Bob Marley (his classics)
- Neil Young ( a few)
- Simon and Garfunkel ( a few)
I like:
- A good rhythm. Don't has to be "simple", but I don't like Tom Waits songs. They are like lots and lots of words said after each other, but there is no structure in the song.
- A deep, manly voice like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springfield.
- Good lyrics, with a political message (but that's not necessary). I appreciate it when the artist write/wrote his own songs.
- Don't overdo it. I dislike Queen because everything is so bombastic and they don't stopp yelling. A guitar, a good voice, superb lyrics and maybe a little band if that's necessary is good enough for me.
Any suggestions?
Kind regards,
-Boegie
