favorite pop/rock artists of pianists
on: May 13, 2006, 05:40:52 PM
I was just curious because I love pop almost as much as I love classical, what kind of musicians or bands you guys like.
I really love Teddy Geiger, Avril Lavigne, and Maroon5
just put whoever, and whatever song if you want.

In no particular order

The Who - John Entwhistle + Keith Moon = best rhythmn section of any rock band

Led Zeppelin - Every member is great.  The songs are great.  Anyone who doesn't like them must have something wrong with them

King Crimson- Bartok meets rock music. :D

Yes- The Yes Album through Going for the One are brilliant

Genesis- Back when they had Peter Gabriel they didn't suck. :o

Van der Graaf Generator- Dark rock with no guitar and odd (to say the least) vocals, but it works very well.(I'm a sucker for Hammond B-3's)

Beatles- D'uh

I think you should listen to all different types of music. It kind of refreshes you, because its all built up of the same stuff.
Thats just an opinion....*sigh* anyway.
Oh- I love U2 too! bono rocks. hes pretty cool for an old dude.
