Music to shoot by?
- Thread starter bubbapearson
- Start date
Pink Floyd, one of the 1st & the very best experimental ACID music bands. Everything after, in that vein, has been a cheap imitation imho. Bands of the 60's & 70's changed EVERYTHING about music, music business & culture in general. Guess one had to grow up during that time to really understand the impact.never again will they be a band talented enough to compare to Pink Floyd.
i seen them in germany in 1976 during the animals tour and again in london 1980 the wall tour.
but my favorite is from the album...wish you where here.....1975
never got to see them then, but i'm all about that production even today !!

O i love floyd, though their very early stuff, unlike just about any other band, i am not so crazy about.
Take a band like Scorpions, i love their first 2-3 albums, and are OK with the rest up until the Blackout album, and then after that nothing.
That is also the same with Judas priest and Accept for instance.
That might be CUZ at that time i also became a little adult in regard to music and so started to open my heart to other stuff.
Back then predominantly Blues music, also the oldest stuff i have ( 1928 recording on CD )
Also quite a few floyd tracks on my final mix tape.

I wouldn't call it experimental or Acid, but bands like Kraftwerk and Jean Michel Jarre i also dig to some degree.
The classic piece that subversively turned me onto classic, even if ignored for a decade or so was Ravels Bolero.
Not really a Beatels fan, but this 100 % vocal version of Blackbird do get me, care of DR girls Choir.

Well of course i have a few UFO albums,,,, i mean come on how couldent i.
Phenomenon
Force it
No heavy petting
Lights out
Obsession
For sure must have albums.
Anyone else did the monsters of rock concerts in the old days ?
I have foggy memories of a German and Swedish venue, i think the level of consumption must have been " just a tad " too high.
How about Michal Schenker group then ?
For me another of those first 3-4 Album bands.

I vote for the William Tell Overture! Or some of the frantic organ sounds of J. S. Bach. B.

Spent over two hours shooting my new Cometa 220 compact and listening to adventures of John Dollar. A great combo for a great cool afternoon. Charles

Jazz / blues/ acoustic blues, makes my day. It's funny how soothing music equates too blasting army men at forty yards.

Howdy, Backstop! Almost all of my shooting is indoors on targets at thirty feet, so generally, I have ALL the comforts of home going for me when I'm shooting. Regardless, I definitely can relate to most of your post: no way to "hunt" any animal, whether for food or pest elimination, and listen to music at the same time, at least not for me. Shooting takes enough concentration that music would not only be a major impediment to seeing any target animal, it would be too large a distraction for me. For target shooting, listening to instrumental music doesn't interfere too much with my concentration, as long as (as I mentioned in another post), I'm not thinking of trying to sing along with songs with lyrics -- no way I can make it work.
Also, I'd say my musical taste is a bit eclectic (many people say it to me <grin>), and the animals probably wouldn't like my choices anyway. Seriously though, my taste pretty much runs the gamut, although I'm sorry to admit I do have a fairly large prejudice against much of what I consider to be "pop" music (whether rock, country, metal or whatever -- anything that seems contrived more for mass market appeal than emphasis on originality, technical proficiency, and the like). I'm also a musician, doing some vocals, but mandolin is my gig, and I play a little acoustic guitar and Bb Euphonium (treble-clef baritone <grin>) as well. I don't enjoy the subwoofers of other folks much either, and the quite nice one I bought for my home system ages ago has remained unused in my basement for about the last twenty years or so. ;-) Not that I don't love a good low-end, mind you (I have very nice main speakers), I just don't want the bass to overpower everything else (and living in a townhouse subdivision, there are neighbors to consider).

Pink Floyd. The albums Meddle, Division Bell, and Dark Side of the Moon are my favorites. I also like the early AC/DC stuff with Bon Scott. If I'm in a country-rock mood, Eagles Greatest Hits volumes 1 and 2 are great albums. No neighbors, so no worries about volume.

Since a couple of " transition " bands have been mentioned here, i thought i would adda couple more that seen greats come and go.
Fleetwood Mac,,,,,, i am personally only into their oldest stuff when they was a blues band, but older stuff not off putting for me.
Another from the same neck of the woods John Mayall blues breakers, i mean come on peter Green and Eric Clapton.

Their early stuff (UmmaGumma, Atom Heart Mother) was very experimental & developmental for them both as individuals and as a group. You won't find any commercial successes on those. Weird "acid trip" soundtracks. But man, did they blossom as a whole afterwards. The Brits really started influencing American music at that point (60's) after being influenced & imitating American rock & roll & early blues. They (Brits) certainly had their own unique way & sound. Just about every album/song that came out of America or "across the pond" at that time was experimental in some way. The Beatles were the epitome of it for certain.

Les Bon Ton Roulette!Your evaluation is spot on! Zig's sense of where NOT to put things is overwhelmingly more important than WHERE to put things. True "funkiness" comes from the holes in the rhythm that each player in turn leaves in their pattern. I played second line funk for 30 years & learned from some of the best, most underrated (& virtually unknown to most) drummers & rhythm sections. Listen to Richie Hayward (Little Feat) too, he's another one. Where one doesn't play almost has more impact than where one plays. It allows the rhythm to BREATHE! (Is there a Funk Musician category on AGN?)

Don't listen to any music while I shoot targets or pests. Too distracting.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread though.
My music tastes are broad and all encompassing with the exception of recent, angry, rap.
Everything from Andre Segovia 12-string, Jean-Michel jarre, classical all the way to Tool.
The '60s had an enormous influence on me and The Beatles, rolling Stones, the who, Pink Floyd etc were foundations for my music interest.
I like old jazz and old blues. This is the fertile pool that allowed rock and roll, Pop, disco (argh), etc.
Thank you everyone. Was a wonderful stroll down memory lane and a reminder to listen to some CDs and albums that have been neglected

Whoa, does that takes me back... Isn't that tune with a name something like "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" on Ummagumma? Whatever the actual title and LP, the name of the song was certainly memorable! ;-) In my opinion, their later release "Dark Side Of The Moon" is one of those albums every serious collector should have in their collection.
