Doug's Musical Tastes


My musical tastes vary quite a bit and it's a major part of my life. I love anything in extremes....vocals, guitars, drums, bass, break-beats, electronics, scratching, etc. I cut my teeth listening to late 60's and 70's classic rock...whatever was on the radio. In high school I found Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Rush, The Who, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Moody Blues, Yes, Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, REM, Queen, Dire Straits, AC/DC, B52s, Devo, Bad Company, Styx, Boston, Kansas, etc. In college I concentrated on collecting everything by most of these artists...even bootlegs, and found King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Black Sabbath, The Doors, The Pretenders, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Violent Femmes, The Cure, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Talking Heads, TomTomClub, New Order, Police, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Alman Brothers, etc. After college I found Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Metalica, White Zombie, SoundGarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Marilyn Manson, Public Enemy, Sade, Anita Baker, The Pixies, Beastie Boys, U2, etc. More recently, I've concentrated on dance, good beats, electronica, tribal, trance, etc. from the artists listed below. If I buy new music these days it's got a good beat, is soulful, and moving.
