LOL, no offense but country is last, way last on my list of favorite music.

Also, I don't know how I left out Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, and Maze featuring Frankie Beverly.

Brain you hit the nail on the head when mentioning Muddy Waters and Johnny Lee Hooker, they are both on point.

Yep I love those two...so many balls out I am a bad mother trucker songs that just drip with attitude.

I also like Louis Armstrong...how could you not like that voice....And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.....and him singing Just a Gigolo just makes me smile.

Oh and someone that I love to listen to that really does not fall in those categories (except maybe in the vein of Louis Armstrong).

Frank Sinatra...big fan of his music.

I am not into rap much...but I do like some older school stuff.

BDP - Blueprint was amazing

Any Public Enemy...Chuck D is a big Fav of mine and Flava Flav makes me laugh.

Dr Dre - the Chronic..great stuff.

Beastie Boyz - Pauls Botique was not the best of their outings from a lyrical/song stand point....but the music style was so ahead of it's time IMO.

Tupac - Always liked his stuff

Snoop - not all of it but I like his style.

Ok...I may be dating myself here...

Melle Mel and the furious Five
Sugar Hill Gang
UTFO / the start of the Roxanne battles with Roxanne and full force (sp?)
Houdini - gotta love freaks come out at night and big mouth

And even though it was not rap...it was still killer stuff in the day....

Herbie Hancock
The Gap Band
Thomas Dolby

Oh and a Band that has your name sake....Anthrax

One of the first Metal bands to mix rock with rap....cool story about it.

Chuck D was either watching videos or looking through a mag and saw that the guitarist for Anthrax (Scott Ian) was jamming out on stage with a Public Enemy shirt...Scott is a huge PE fan.

So when Public Enemy was doing the song Bring the Noise they put in the lyric...Beat is for Eric B. and LL, as well, hell
Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells

So years down the road they got together and did the Bring the Noise song together with metal guitars...really cool stuff.
Now this was after Run DMC and Aerosmith did walk this way...but once again it was the first METAL mix...which IMO later influenced many of the rap/metal mix artists today.

I love the St. Louis Blues! When I hear that song, I just want to jump into a big band dance room and go at it.

Armstrong's What A Wonderful World is easily one of the best songs ever recorded, but you guys should check out Summer Song...It's just so beautiful..

I never have, and probably never will be a fan of country music....however one person that is so good that she just above any genre....that I can listen to....is the one and only Patsy Cline.

Her voice to me is so beautiful.

I like Billie Holiday...but Patsy is in a league of her own IMO.

Listen to Johnny Cash's last album, American IV, if you haven't already. There are some absolutely stirring songs on that track, even if some of them are remakes.

 

[CowboysFan02]

A.F.I. (A Fire Inside)

I really love to listen to a large number of Guitarist. Too many to name just one or a pure favorite...so many different genres of guitarist.

I also find there are many drummers and bassist that I find myself in awe of...once again to many to name just a few....I could go on for days with names of guitarist, bassists and drummers.

Brainpaint,
I know you have a llot of knowledge when it comes to music and individual artists, have you ever heard/seen Robert Randolph play? I'm curious because he is new and is absolutely the best thing I have seen come along in years.

I saw him live for the 2nd time last night and was blown away, again.

If you haven't seen or heard him, check his videos out at www.robertrandolph.net

This guy is being compared to Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, SRV, and many others.

I'm interested to hear your comments.

 

[Mamba]

Sublime, Los Lonely Boys, Staind just to name a few.... i'm also hearing some new stuff that i'm starting to get into.

Johnny Cash can not really be put in one category...He is a little country, a little rock, a little folk and a little blues.
