Johnny Cash

It's weird, but while I hate country music, after seeing Walk the Line about 5 times, I've bought a best of CD, and I actually really like it. I think I'll buy some more. I wish I'd grabbed some while I was in the US ( not that I could carry any more in my back pack ). Anyone else have anything totally out of character in thier CD collection ? I have 790 CDs, mostly rock and metal, and in there is Chris Isaak, and now Johnny Cash. Oh, and a few from Bob Dylan, including 'Slow Train Coming', one of my favourite albums.

While I have few CDs, I listen to some Johnny Cash despite hating country. I think Cash was more like Rock n' Roll, anyway. I listen to a WSOGMM including System of a Down, Static X, Audioslave, Dead Kennedys, The Vandals, and (I wonder how many others know this one) Mindless Self Indulgence. I must say, MSI are pretty scary people, but I love their music.

Bob Dylan is one of my all time favorites. My father was a huge fan of his along with Neil Young and others and it just wore off. I have seen Bob live twice. Mostly I like 90's alternative stuff. Lots of Dinosaur Jnr, Swervedriver, Teenage Fanclub, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Oasis, Alice in Chains, Kyuss etc etc If you were to look at my cd collection I reakon the Propeller Heads cd would be a suprise. I think its the only electronic or dance music I own. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear

I have a CD of gregorian chant music with songs from like 300BC on it. :) Jeremy Falcon
I think I have that one too. Must have been from Music Appreciation back in college. Kind of catchy though. :)

Most of my collection is 90s rock, rap, 80s punk, some country, some jazz and some classical. 3 albums are don't really fit. 1. Edith Piaf - The voice of the sparrow 2. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Vasos Vacios 3. Monkey Ska - A collection of early Jamacian ska bands. I'm a huge fan of the man in black BTW. I never suspected Trent Reznor was a decent songwriter until I heard Johnny Cash cover one of his songs. [another edit] I get really bored listening to it, but a friend of mine in college got me into going out and dancing to industrial and goth music. :-O [/another edit]

Yeah, I don't know why I like it, but I do. It's also neat to think about how the stuff was sung thousands of years ago. It puts an interesting perspective on things. Jeremy Falcon

Maybe we can start singing our code to the computers. :-D Wonder what different languages would sound like... Seriously though, just imagine it in one of those cathedrals - that would be pretty impressive!

I just love Knoffler's guitar. I saw this live version of Sultans of Swings which one my friend is got. There is this 7 min solo on gitar. And he played it like it was a walk in the park! Thats guy is something. I hope some of you like Dire Straits. Abhishek

Along the country theme - Hank Williams III (Straight to Hell), Johnny Cash (Live at Folsom, Live at San Quentin) and Hank WIlliams (some "best of" collection). I guess my small jazz collection (mostly Miles Davis and John Coltrane) doesn't fit with the rest of my collection (1100 CDs, mostly rock/metal/punk), although I suppose the far reaches of my prog rock CDs (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Focus, some Santana) are heading towards that area. Oh - and a William Shatner album (Has Been), all of Nick Drake's albums and a Fairport Convention album - I could probably find some more...

I was raised on a diet of Johnny Cash and Kenny Rogers, so I have always had a little country in my blood. When I was kid we once drove from Dublin, Ireland to the South of France, its about a four day solid drive. We forgot to pack music, so we ended up with Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers and Abba for four days solid, and people wonder why I am a little weird occasionally. So I would suggest you check out Kenny Rogers, if only to share my pain ... Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire" Blogging @ Keratoconus Watch

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Sufi devotional chanting (Qawwali). The guy had an amazing voice with a huge range, and the slightly hypnotic music gets inside your head. :-)

I don’t know if this counts, but I have music ranging from Country \ Metal \ Old School Rap & Classical. At this point about all I ever listen to is Country though, but every now and then I have to mix it up. Country, Just about every artist I can find. I really like the older stuff (40’s / 50’s) Outlaw Country (David Allen Cole, Waylon Jennings etc) Metal, just about what ever was popular in the early 90’s Rap, Coolio, 2Pac, Dr Dre, Snoop Dog, Too $hort, and a myriad of others. There is one genre of music I would like to find a greater selection of; I believe its best described as “Irish Folk” music. I have heard “Whiskey in the Jar” in its original form, and wow that’s very cool. I have grown to like music that tells a story of one sort or another and am less impressed with just noise. What is it about Mr. Cash’s music you enjoyed the most? I could probably make a few suggestions for artists along the same line. [edit] just noticed that the "Notify me by e-mail if someone answers this message" check box was default un-checked, what's up with that?[/edit]
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley: -- modified at 4:45 Wednesday 19th July, 2006

Isn't it David Allen Coe ? Anyhow, you need to check out 'Rebel meets rebel', his album with the guys from Pantera, it's awesome.

I love how it tells a story, and it just plain seems like honest music to me. I love it for the same reasons I love early folk blues like Son House. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

Generally i am a Rock/Metal fan (specially the 80's stuff) but someone sent me an Eminem CD (Curtain Call) and i am not into rap or any of that stuff but this sh*t is really addictive some good stuff in there.
I dislike feeling at home when i am abroad.
