music

[msh58]

i'm sure theres a music thread somewhere in here but i'm not going to dig through 12 pages.

what did you like and what do you like?

I liked anything that came out of detroit i'm learning. kid rock, white stripes, seger, motown, etc. I don't even know why, except i guess they are coming out of a similar mess that upstate new york is in also. Thats my theory false or not i don't have a clue.

I have to listen to contemporary jazz though when i'm sober. anything rock triggers me. I actually have a nature cd also, rainstorms and s**t like that.

what do you like, and how are you doing?

I listen to whatever. Some rock, some rap, some drum and bass/electronic, some grind, jazz, I like a little bit of everything. There is no single genre I subscribe to, I just like individual songs. Sometimes when I hear songs I used to hear in the bar/club a few years ago, I think about the "good" times. But it doesn't last long.

I pretty much like everything with the exception of some types of country, and reggae. I have a pretty large music collection on iTunes as I have digitized all my CDs, but lately I have found that - with the exception of the gym - I prefer to have someone else program music for me. Hence, I listen to pandora.com quite a bit, and have it on at work pretty much the entire day. For another nice mix, I also listen to Radio Paradise internet radio too.

I've always wanted to try the nature "music" too but have never gotten around to it.

60's and 70's minus the heavy metal stuff or acid rock they started coming out with before the disco crap *LOL*

Now I listen to mostly Christian music and the Oldies Station when in the car.

If you try it...listen in the store first. There are many wannabe samples that sound like crap. Bird churp filled music where they just throw in a bunch of bird churps and call it nature music.

Wow, never expected a great music tip at SoberRecovery! But thanks, man; that website (Pandora) is awesome!

"Nature" music probably isn't what y'all are looking for; birds squawking and frogs croaking and whales moaning, is mostly just "nature noise." For deep relaxation and meditation, try my favorite old labels: Windham Hill, Narada...they produce "contemporary acoustic" music, basically mellow guitars and pianos and woodwinds, no vocals...background music for the stressed-out mind...
