Long Hair Music

[JOHN72]

He, I don't know. Maybe this is the song you speak of?

No, here he sings in Spanish. I say this song.

 

[JOHN72]

I say this song. The poor man made a fool of himself on a planetary level.

Yes, to the original post--I have Molly Hatchet ("Flirtin With Disaster") on my workout playlist, and yes to classical music, particularly Mozart, which is not on my workout playlist.

Someone could possibly work out to Wagner, but you'd have to be careful. If you get carried away, you might end up taking over Poland.
Commies hate Wagner. I'm not too crazy about him either.

I am stuck in a loop of listening to Yes, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd , Electric Light Orchestra and David Bowie.

Societal pressure. There's a couple millennia of music from around the world to choose from. If a person can't find anything fascinating in all that, it says more about that person, than about the music.

Absolutely. It does often come across more like a choice then something that is genuine and organic. Not always but so much of the time. And also if the stuff is good enough for Looney Tunes it's good enough for me.

and if they listen to ride of the Valkyries they might end up thinking it's intermission time (I wonder who will get that joke). Alright I'll go for a more populist variation they might kill the rabbit.

This thread needs something . . . . hair, faux classical, fun.

 

[anotherbob]

to tie up this post. The rock band that was founded by a Classical musician and a Jazz musician who asked why can't we apply the same level of musicality and theory to rock music?

Slayer, Lamb of God, Slipknot, Megadeth...that's my kind of long hair music.

Don't like symphonic works but love chamber music which I listen to every morning with my coffee and morning pipe to ease into the day. At noon when I next smoke it needs to be hard-driving electronic blues however to get really revved up.

Hmmmm. It certainly had an effect on the droogies in Clockwork.

I took care of my friend's grandfather for a year while his family was on sabbatical. He was an American who was a spy during WW2 in the Nazi sub pens. The entire time I was there, he listened to Wagner operas. I hated it for a while but in the end I got a taste for the style and a totally want to hear the whole ring cycle.

In the end I only ended up taking over Poland in our weekly games of Axis and Allies or other obscure board games.

Funny that most here are not familiar with “long hair “ music. The classical musicians had long hair traditionally.

I am just less familiar with any styles of music which are decidedly short hair by definition... Seeing that Kid 'n' Play, Bach, Rick James, Little Richard, Raven, Opeth, Burning Spear, Crystal Gayle and Weird Al Yankovic could all be accurately be considered "Long Hair Music", this seems to be a pretty broad classification. I think that unless you exclusively listen to Sinead O'connor, Moby and The Business, it is safe to say that whatever you listen to may well be described accurately as "Long Hair Music."

It's just an old saying, bro. Call it what you like.

Forgot about the Rossini! Those damned magpies!

True story... I was really getting into Heart and Joan Jett, but I wasn't really a metalhead, so to speak. But, I was in the record store when they were putting out records of this new band I had never heard of, Motley Cru. I saw the poster and thought, 'wow, those are some sexy dressed rocker girls. So, I bought the album and took it home, and listened to it, still thinking they were girls. I mean, they looked and sounded like girls. But, man, they were the most blasphemous girls I had ever heard of, outrageous. I kinda respected that... till I found out that they were crossdressers... then it was just weird to me, and I gave the album away.

Don't let this one fool you too.

Inglorious Bastards and Jo Jo Rabbit references, respectively?

It's a new one to me. Thanks!
