Surely none of us only listens to film/TV music. I'm keen on jazz, classic rock, '80s/early '90s hip-hop, and some country and pop. Classic rock can't be beat, with the usual assortment of groups including Rush, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Nine Inch Nails... How about you? |

The rare chance I'm not listening through film music scores, I'm listening to either pop rock, or 80s synth. |

Outside of my 90-minute analog-cassette and full-CD anthologies of treasured individual songs which I've compiled periodically since 1986, here are the separate non-film-music albums and classical pieces to which I still return with the most pleasure: Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass: their '60s albums, especially Tijuana Brass Vol. 2, South of the Border, and Herb Alpert's 9th [my love of these LPs helped feed my adolescent transition toward Ennio Morricone with FISTFUL OF DOLLARS] Samuel Barber: Adagio for Strings The Beatles: Abbey Road L.V. Beethoven: piano sonatas Moonlight, Pathetique, and Appassionata; Symphony No. 7 Leonard Cohen: esp. I'm Your Man; The Future Nat "King" Cole: Love Is the Thing Sam Cooke: 28-song anthology The Man and His Music Claude Debussy: The Girl With the Flaxen Hair; Clair de Lune Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms The Drifters: The Drifters' Golden Hits Antonin Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 Enya: esp. Watermark; The Memory of Trees; The Celts; Shepherd Moons; A Day Without Rain; and Amarantine Roberta Flack: Killing Me Softly The Four Tops: Anthology George Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue Philip Glass: Dancepieces; Songs From Liquid Days The Grateful Dead: American Beauty Quincy Jones: Quincy Jones Plays the Hip Hits (Big Band jazz that incidentally includes my favorite cover of Gold's EXODUS theme) Scott Joplin: his piano rags as performed by Joshua Rifkin (or orchestrally by the Southland Stingers); the opera Treemonisha (the 1975 Deutsche Gramophone recording) Franz Liszt: esp. Mephisto Waltz; La Campanella; Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2; Liebestraum; and Les Preludes Dory Previn: Mythical Kings and Iguanas; We're Children of Coincidence and Harpo Marx Maurice Ravel: The Bolero Diana Ross and the Supremes: Anthology Simon and Garfunkel: Bridge Over Troubled Water Paul Simon solo: Graceland Frank Sinatra: September of My Years Cat Stevens: esp. Mona Bone Jakon; Teaser and the Firecat; Tea for the Tillerman Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life; Hotter Than July |

What's this -- this thread is up for three days, and nobody else bothers to identify or recommend other music that more of us might discover? |

Warren Zevon - John Hiatt - Ry Cooder (A bit of crossover there) - Billy Joel - Nick Lowe |

I listen to mostly classical music, I don't know how much exactly but probably more than half of what I listen to falls into the general domain of classical music, from Bach to Brahms to Penderecki. The rest is film music, jazz, rock/pop, techno, industrial, house, whatever.... |

Ravel is my favorite classical composer -- I love "Daphnis et Chloe" (a huge inspiration on Goldsmith's Legend and other fantasy scores), "Mother Goose Suite", "Pavane", "Valses nobles et sentimentales" (can't stand "Bolero" though!). Debussy -- "La Mer" (another big influence on film music), "Trois Nocturnes". Takemitsu -- "Toward the Sea II", "Tree Line", "A String Around Autumn". Corigliano -- "Creations", "Promenade Overture", "Elegy for Orchestra", "Voyage for Flute and Sting Orchestra". Messiaen -- most of his organ works ("La Nativite du Seigneur: Dieu parmi nous" is one of the most extraordinary things you'll ever hear). I'm also a big fan of some of Vangelis' non-film music, like "Rosetta", and like portions of "Direct", "Mask", and the album of Greek hymns he recorded with Irene Papas, "Rapsodies". Predictably, I also enjoy concert works by some "film" composers -- Kamen's "Concerto for Saxophone", Williams' "Five Sacred Trees", and some tracks on Barry's "Beyondness of Things" and "Eternal Echoes". |
