It would surprise me if anyone else recognized all of those artists.

Not many from later than the '70s.

I have at least a dozen different play lists for the shop. Soon it will be a lot of Christmas music.

I totally forgot about my metal fixation. Tool, hands down, best metal band ever. What are they classified as: art-metal or something arbitrary?

Excellent list, Larry. I'm coming to your shop

[Bert Kemp]

oh yea the Beatles were tops, but theres so much good music out there its hard to name Favorites. People won't believe this but I have a CD with all the Beatles albums on it. Somehow they compressed them onto a CD its awesome has all the album covers, songs and lyric's on 1 CD.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Bert, are they MP3 files? I have seen such an album.

[Bill Clifton]

Go to the "American Routes" site and checkout the archives. This is a NPR program out of New Orleans - good music, good variety and good informative discussions. Each show is 2 hours but you select one hour at a time. Love it.

[Bert Kemp]

Ken I'm not sure what kind of files they are, but I was amazed that they could fit it all on a CD.

If it's the whole library it would have to be a DVD, even if they're MP3s. A CD just does not hold that much info. Most CDs hold 700 MB while a typical DVD holds 4.7 GB, which is 4,700 MB - almost 7x the space.

Is this is? I cannot find anywhere to purchase it currently.

Finally...
Another Jane's Addiction fan.

I feel more kinship to fans of this band than even fellow woodworkers.

I saw Porno for Pyros at Lollapalooza in 1992. They played the small stage.

I think Ministry made me deaf for about a week.

[Peter Kelly]

If not tuned into NPR I'm usually listening to Motown-type stuff in the shop.

[Steve Peterson]

I have not gotten out of the 70's with my music appreciation except for a few 80's era bands

Same for me, except I am stuck in the 80s. As far as I can tell, there was very little good music in the 90s. I am quite happy with my CD collection of 80s rock. I did get a Sirius music player, but stick with the classic rock stations. I did venture into the blues station, but most of that is older music.

Some of you offer very eclectic tastes in music. I am not quite sure how my projects would go if completed while listening to heavy metal music.

It was the music of my youth and I still like but not in the garage or while working. Like drinking vodka rather than coffee. Has to be the right time and mood.

They are one of my favorites. Nothing's Shocking is solidly in my top 5 favorite albums and always has been. Saw them recently at the Electric Factory in Philly and they played the entire album in order. Fantastic show although I must confess that it was a bit sureal (and special) seeing them with my teenage son.
