I love tracks live Highway Song, Train Train, Every Man Should Know and so on... IN the seventies they were really great, in the eighties they ahve turn they style following the influencecs of those years.

I hear a story about BF producer was the same producer of Ten Years After, and tried to achieve a similar sound... is it a 70's band? Late 70, I guess. Most players are actually  native americans from the blackfoot tribe (excuse me if i'm saying a nonsense or worst something offensive, using the noun "tribe")...

 

Blackfoot was a 70ies southern rock band that has got a little succes in the late 70ies/early 80ies. Is one of the strongest southenr rock bands and in the eighties became more hard-rock/metal (I prefer the 70ies albums!). Singer and gutarist Medloke is now one of the three guitars in the actual line-up of the Lynyrd Skynyrd. He have also play drums in their early demos (there's something in the album Skynyrd's Fisrt... And Last). If you need suggestion I can say Hyghway Song-Blackfoot Live or album as Strike or Marauder.

I listen to:
 prog rock
 prog folk
 prog metal
 folk rock
 very very little death metal (Opeth only)
 some black metal (most black metal is crap)
 folk metal (a cool subgenre of metal - it is a mixture of folk and metal)
 avant-garde (Mostly avant-garde metal and prog - artists such as Arcturus [metal band] and Pierrot Lunaire, and Comus [prog bands].)

I can listen to pretty much anything except emo, hardcore, rap/hip-hop, r&b, modern radio rock, and country.

There's another thread on this somewhere back in the mists of time...

But I'll listen to absolutely anything - but I'll only listen to it more than once if I liked it or heard something "special" in it the first time.

No point listing stuff again...

No, proper emo comes from hardcore and some of it's fairly arty (note, I said some!). Modern "emo" is nothing to do with real emo at all.

i believe you!

never understood what emo was either - thought it was a comedian meself.

 

I listen to anything that's music cause i might like it even if its country or classical, funk or flippin' tibetan nose flutes.

A lot of prog (all the classics plus Radiohead)

a lot of classic rock, (from Allman Bros to ZZ Top and everything in between)

a lot of alternative, new wave, punk (from the Clash to Stiff Little Fingers, Blondie to the Beat, Pretenders to Police)

a lot of soul, funk and disco (from Aretha to Stevie Wonder, Sly to Prince, Funkadelic to Alisha Keys, Sister Sledge to the Scissor Sisters)

a lot of electronica - from JMJ to Air, Boards of Canada to Fourtet, Mum to Tangerine Dream

a lot of country and alt country - from Bonnie Prince Billy to Ryan Adams, Hank Williams to Shelby Lynne

a lot of classical - from arvo part to vaughn williams, mozart to messiaen, piazzola to penderecki)

a lot of jazz - from mingus to mehldau to miles and so on

and everything else

The only things I don't listen to anymore are

heavy metal (cause the bulk of it is just ridiculous and it is music for 12 year olds)

and hardcore dance music (which i loved for a while but am now thoroughly bored by - a movement which was once so fresh-sounding has become the most formulaic in music (bad trance) - its only the more avant garde electronica elements that attract me now)

all musical genres have something worthwhile in them, something startling and spine-tinglingly good, you just have to go exploring. The venom displayed on the radiohead inclusion thread is a good advert for expanding your musical horizons beyond the same 12 bands and same 3 types of sound.

emo,as far as I can tell, is a part of the pop punk genre. All it is really is a bunch of supposed suicidals singing about how they miss their girlfriends and fell the need to complain to us through punk-pop  "music" for example, yellowcard.
