bahahaha i could say the EXACT SAME thing about you
Martin
Personally I don't like hip hop. I like Texas Country like Johnny Cooper and Reckless Kelly. Also love the classics. Beatles, Zepplin, Pink Floyd.
Lfloyd
Thats cool could you suggest some songs for me to check out?
Martin
Johnny Cooper: Texas to You, Don't feel like that anymore
Reckless Kelly: Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah (my all time favorite song,) Bulletproof, Nobody's Girl
Beatles: While my guitar gently weeps, With a little help from my friends. Anything by them is good.
Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven, When the levee breaks, Kashmir
Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb, Hey you. If you've never listened to Pink Floyd, they are pretty crazy. Kind of weird but all in all they are cool.
Lfloyd
Check out Jeff Buckley's album Grace. Earlier Muse is pretty good (Showbiz/Origins of Symmetry/Absolution). For something completely different, check out Manu Chao (Proxima Estaciaon: Esperanza is a good one). For Latin music I would check out El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Buena Vista Social Club, or Jimmy Bosch.

TEXAS
Pass on the Texas Country. Or any country other than Cash, and the first and third Hanks. Check out The Whigs. Great indie rock band.

My tastes are incredibly eclectic. See if you can find something you like here:
If you are too young to have discovered classic rock, then listen to Van Halen's early stuff. Eddie was doing things with a guitar that nobody had ever done before.

my favorite VH is a little softer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFNdhm3mli0
I grew up in the 80s when bands had big hair and played power ballads. This band was superb, but Steelheart was the last great hair band and was overwhelmed by the Grunge movement far too soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IfiLehLFJw
If you like Texas music, you might try Stevie Ray Vaughn. I have never learned to play the guitar, but this song makes me want to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdYRzH10L2M
When I was in HS and college I painted houses with some guys who were metalheads. They got me to listen to Metallica. Back then, I could recite any lyric from And Justice For All off the top of my head. But today, my favorite would probably be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvwmVr0WdI8
Somehow I picked up a love for big band music. Glenn Miller was great:

and this one which starts slowly but really is cool:

Tommy Dorsey rocked, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mVfHrTaYmY
If you want some old time gospel, these guys are phenominal. The video has too much fluff at the beginning, but the voices are strong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHfQ5NJTyS0

So hard to find any current music worth listening to. I listen to 70% Classic Rock and then from there I will listen to Rock, Classic Country, Blues, and Red Dirt in no particular order.
Red Dirt- Reckless Kelly, Jack Ingram
Blues- Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Stevie Ray Vaughn
Of some newer rock music, I like Cage the Elephant. Good lyrics, music, and a little different.
