Hi there.

DiggityDawg · 10-25-2009, 03:47 PM

Just stumbled across this board & signed up. Looks REALLY active - I'm gonna go look around & see what's up.

I'm a music nerd in the US...3000-ish albums & counting.

Welcome to MB. What music do you like?

Welcome DiggityDawg!

I find your username amusing.

His username is awesome

Welcome to mb what are some artists you like?

dtx21 · 10-25-2009, 04:13 PM

3000 albums, you say!?
Don't I feel like an amateur.
I thought 50 was the new 1 billion, considering no one buys albums anymore. Eh.

DiggityDawg · 10-25-2009, 04:50 PM

Well, keep in mind that I'm old. Ha. Been buying/collecting for roughly 35 years.

The username comes from a "Seinfeld" episode. Kramer asks Jerry "What's up, diggity dog?"

Honestly, I like any kind of music that's well-done. Big believer in the "there's 2 kinds of music - good & bad" theory.

Having said that, I'm big on rock 'n' roll, power pop, jazz, 70's soul, reggae, & classical.

We have similar tastes then

You will probably find even more new music here and maybe get into some new genres (I see metal and hip-hop are both missing from that list)

Mojo · 10-25-2009, 05:13 PM

Seinfeld references?

You win.

Welcome x2.

I do like metal - more the "catchy song/melodic" type that the "growly/cookie monster" kind.

As far as hip-hop goes, not an expert by any means. But I liked the old-school, more "good-timey/party" type stuff. Not the more current "tough guy" junk.

Here's a stab at listing some of my favorite artists/bands ( off the top of my head, looking at my iTunes ) :

Big Star
Bill Hicks ( comedy )
Charles Mingus ( jazz )
Cheap Trick
The Clash
Damone
The Dragons
Edgar Varese ( classical/avant garde )
Helmet
Jason & The Scorchers
KISS
Kix
The Knack
Krzysztof Penderecki ( classical )
Marshall Crenshaw
Material Issue
The Mooney Suzuki
Motorhead
The Replacements
Scott Walker
Slade
The Smithereens
Supersuckers
Sweet
Thee Michelle Gun Elephant
Too Much Joy
TSAR
Ultimate Fakebook
Urge Overkill
The Wildhearts ( probably my all-time favorite band )

There's lots more, but that gives you some kinda idea.
