A Cocktail & Conversation -- Favorite Music

Every other Thursday here at the Broke & The Bookish is A Cocktail Conversation time. One of the TB&TB members will pose a question to 2-3 of the other members of TB&TB crew about books, life, music, etc and then they'll answer and we can converse about it. So grab a cocktail & cozy up for some conversation. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, friends. 

The Question - What type of music do you listen to the most? What was the last concert you went to?

As for as music I listen to... there's so much different stuff, but I guess most of it can be categorized into 80s pop/metal (think Def Leppard, Styx, OMD), 90s pop/alt rock (Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, etc), and some classic rock. Also, occasionally some current pop music, but I don't listen to the radio all that much, so I usually rely on Andrew to let me know when something good comes out.

The last concert I went to was of Ewer and the Two Dragons, fairly unknown I think. I mostly listen to a mix of pop and rock, I LOVE singers like Jonathan Jeremiah and Sarah Bareilles, who are both awesome live!

The last concert I went to was Garth Brooks back in January. I'm glad I went because otherwise, the last concert I went to was in high school. I just don't go to that many! Garth Brooks was pretty awesome. I love that he primarily played his old hits. Our group was on the jumbotron during "Friends in Low Places," which was really cool.

The music I listen to most is actually pop music (according to Spotify).  I would classify it more as an Indy eclectic with a heavy lean toward 90s pop/alternative. I enjoy singing so that is probably why I like pop. I really have a wide range though. The only thing I would say you wouldn't find on my Spotify is hardcore heavy metal, straight rap, and pop country. I have some classic country though, like John Denver. I have a playlist for the songs I sing in Church so I can practice them as well as one for ALL THE KARAOKE ever. As for concerts, I have been to lots of musicals, lots of classical concerts, but only one official concert and that was The Fray in 2007... only because Mae opened. :)

I pretty much just listen to rock music and most of it's sub-genres. I can't listen to the new stuff of the radio without wondering how in the hell our next generation of children are going to make it. The last concert I went to was the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, KY. There were THOUSANDS of people there for a two day event. There was Judas Priest, Korn, Stone Temple Pilots, Mastodon, Pop Evil, Five Finger Death Punch, Volbeat, Buckcherry... the list goes on. It was amazing. Here's a picture just to show you how many people were there. I can't wait to go again this year!

  1. I've never gone to a concert, believe it or not. I guess it must be a gratifying experience. As for the music I listen to... I like pop and rock (but not of the heavy kind), though I mostly listen to movie soundtracks. I'm currently in love with Whiplash.

  2. I mostly listen to soundtracks or, if I've discovered an artist, because one of his songs was used in a TV show I really liked. I associate the song with the plot, so I sometimes get very attached to it. That's also the reason, why I have a bit of an obsession with songs from musicals or musical movies. <3 Other than that my music choices heavily rely on my sister's tastes, who's really into classic rock.

  3. I'm a day late to this discussion, but I just had to comment - music is such a big part of my life, I could talk about it for hours! I listen to pretty much every genre in some capacity - rock, indie, alternative, metal, - plus classic rock (that I grew up on), but I tend to say I'm a pop-punk/pop-rock fan.

    Going to concerts is my favourite thing to do (apart from reading, of course!) - the excitement leading up it, the adrenaline rush you get when the lights dim and the band comes out, the way the bass rattles through your chest, that heart-stopping moment when your favourite singer is singing your favourite lyrics on a stage five feet away from you - it's a glorious feeling. The last concert I went to was Gerard Way's solo show in May, and next week I'm going to two: Fall Out Boy and Nate Ruess (lead singer of fun.).

  4. My last concert....man. High School. Linkin Park's Project Revolution Tour. Still love the band, especially their older songs, but now I love me some Adele. I like easy listening. And have spent the past two days binging on one song I think is French pop.

  5. I listen to pop/rock the most, but also like classic rock, metal, folks, and lots of random stuff. The last concert I went to was David Duchovny :) Did you even know that he's a musician now? So that was kind of random. But before that was Hozier with George Ezra, and they were both really fantastic!

  6. Tina Turner. I am one of her biggest fans. She is 10 years older than me therefore a role model. I have seen her twice. This was in Australia and I had to fly to another state to see her. Anyone who can dance on stage at age 60 plus in stilettos then sing her final song upside down from a cherry picker raised over the audience has me hooked.
