Best Electric Guitarists - Stevie Ray Vaughn - Jimmy Page - They dominate the instrument without losing passion. Best music to listen to regardless of your mood - Bob Marley - Santana - I am never NOT in the mood to listen to these guys. Greatest Acoustic Troubador / Singer Sonwriter - Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen - Real people, real music, great stories. Greatest Living Actor - Robert Duval Greatest Dead Actor - Gregory Peck Favorite Writer - Cormac McCarthy Favorite Movie - Lonesome Dove (for the story, cast) All time favorite TV series - Star Trek Current favorite TV series - Dexter Godess - Halle Berry - Salma Hakek Now the bad stuff Most hated song - Hotel California - overplayed.

quote: ORIGINAL: Stoney EVERYTHING not Flamenco ??? Whats that? [:D] Oh i like Bach! But to me he is flamenco anyway. [8D] I like some Portishead, Air, Massive Attack. They make electronic music, but not that techno thing. I was into slow blues for one or two weeks. But i have to be in the mood for that. Sometimes its funny how they accompany singers, it reminds me of flamenco when they do these licks during the breaks. Oh sorry i am drifting to flamenco again [:D]

Actually, that makes a lot of sense to me. The blues is like the Flamenco of the US. OR is it that Flamenco is like the Blues of Spain? The similarities are obvious. 1. Music of an oppressed people. 2. Roots back to the mother country - In both cases Africa and or the Middle east. 3. Guitar driven music. 4. Various styles. 5. An improvisational musical form. The similarities go on and on. Stoney

Electric Rock- Paul Gilbert, super versitile in many genres and a great teacher. Nuno Bettencourt also has special take on rhythm. General non flamenco guitarist: John Mclaughlin, although that goes for electric and acoustic. I used to be into Django too, amazing improviser. Acoustic singer-I used to like the Indigo Girls but don't follow em anymore. I like the first Jewel too when she was just her and her guitar. Music for anymood- Racer-X Actor- vin deasel and Adam Sandler [:D] Movies-Contact, Intacto, Road Warrior.... TV series- married with Children (i don't watch TV shows anymore, but now I identify with that show [:D]) Goddess-Raquel Welsh Hated song- none worst actors- Keanu Reeves, denise Richards Worst movie- man, I like almost all movies, no matter how bad. [:D]

Favourite non flamenco-musicans/composers: - john abercrombie - marc ribot - j. s. bach - john coltrane my biggest highlights in 2009: i'd like to mention John Dowland (1563 - 1626) he wrote music for lute and other instr., i recommand listening his fantasies for those who want to do a little classical trip, don't have enough superlatives to describe this music, it's simply awesome, way ahead of the times. and last but not least roberta flack live at rheno (not sure about spelling) one of my favourite motown albums now! no words to describe the mood, just listen

Escribano -> RE: The Best of - the worst of Everything else. (Feb. 2 2010 8:13:22)

trudgiano -> RE: The Best of - the worst of Everything else. (Feb. 2 2010 8:21:16)
Favourite Electric Guitarist: Don't really have one. I Like lots of rock and indie, but not really keen on flashy playing. I prefer simple songs with a nice structure. Best music for any mood: I think Jamiroquai are good to listen to. Nice and funky. Cheers me up when I'm sad, makes me happier when already happy. Favourite Singer Songwriter: Ray LaMontagne - has a very soothing voice and is great live. Greatest Living Actor: George Clooney - Superb comedy actor, and also convincing in more serious roles. Greatest Dead Actor: Cary Grant Favourite Writer: Louis de Bernieres / Tom Clancy Favourite Movie: Lawrence of Arabia All Time Favourite TV Series: Band of Brothers Current Favourite TV Series: Glee Goddess: Shakira / Catherine Zeta Jones (10 years ago) Most Hated Song: Anything by Ndubz Worst Actor: John McEnroe - Makes appalling cameos in Adam Sandler Films that bizarrely add to the comedy. Worst Movie: Alexander - nothing comes close to the utter dreadfulness of this film in my eyes. And Some new categories: Favourite Actress: Kate Winslet Favourite Formula 1 Drivers (active): Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa Favourite Formula 1 Drivers (retired/deceased): Jean Alesi, Nigel Mansell, Mika Hakkinen, Eddie Irvine Favourite James Bond Actor: Timothy Dalton

Randal -> RE: The Best of - the worst of Everything else. (Feb. 2 2010 10:04:16)
Cool Deniz. Besides Flamenco and jazz, it's Bach for me. Flamenco and Blues is a great subject. Last month, I joined as drummer for a new band that plays SRV, Hendrix blues, and other R&B classics. This was something I hadn't done since I was a kid growing up on Led Zep. Slow blues is something I don't normally listen to much either, but playing it in ensemble with a rocking female voice is pretty cool.

quote: Für eine Hand voll Scheisse Yes it is the subsubtitle I think. I actually love that film, although in fact it is bad. It is perfect trash. "Ein Rabe geht im Feld spazieren, da fällt der Weizen um" und "Hank wird morgen gehenkt." The characters are really well chosen, especially Doc's mother. To stay on track: My favourite movie character: 00 Schneider and Leutnant Körschgen
