Hey folks
 

Hello music lovers,

I am new to the Music Banter community. I have been a passionate music fan and musician most of my life. Up until 10 years old, I was almost exclusively devoted to classical music, as that's what was played in my home. A friend came over one day with the Beatles Twist and Shout EP (years after the fact, I should add) and I had the epiphany that THIS was what I needed to listen to.

My musical tastes are varied, but mainly I love power pop (rocky stuff wirh strong melodies and harmonies), garage rock (think the Nuggets box set and its offshoots), alt country, bebop jazz, and in particular, I have a passion for acapella - so long as it's not over produced.

That's a basic intro. More posts to come.

Cheers,
Maurice.

I'm always happy to welcome another fan of garage rock into the fold! :laughing:

Other than The Beatles, are there any bands that you're fond of?

Welcome to MB.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks folks.

Oriphel, besides my Beatles obsession, I am nuts for Big Star, Ben Folds 5, Matthew Sweet, Weddings Parties Anything, Flying Burrito Brothers, The Knack, Fleet Foxes, Steeleye Span, Richard Thompson, Hoodoo Gurus, The Zombies, 13th Floor Elevators......ummmm....and a truckload of others, but that gives you a rough idea where I'm coming from.

The Flying Burrito Brothers are one of my favorite bands to recommend to people, because they always hear the name and go :confused:.

Good stuff! Welcome aboard.
