Old School... Younger Days but currently still in high rotation. Earlier Genesis/Yes/ELP/KC/Gabriel...the latter two, for obvious reasons, were the gateways to my STICK obsession Joni Mitchell Thomas Dolby CSN J. Browne/Raitt/Heart/ Paula Cole Oh, Robin! I absolutely LOVE Thomas Dolby. I always wanted to do a cover of "Airwaves." It's my favorite Dolby tune. Love CSN, loved watching Crosby and Nash play "Leeshore" live on youtube. Paula Cole is great, too. You have really good taste. kev

Re: what kind of music do you listen to except Stick ?
I can see how peoples' replies have been so long. There's so much good stuff out there (when you dig for it).
My formative years: Beatles and Lennon's & McCartney's solo stuff Sweet Kiss Zeppelin The Who Queen Alice Cooper Night Ranger (yup.) The Police Yes Rush ELP Thomas Dolby Frank Zappa King Crimson Peter Gabriel Classical music: lots of piano music, Wagner, Liszt, Chopin, and Gilbert & Sullivan light operas Symmetry: This was an original band I was in at the end of high school and a couple years beyond. We played what could be called a blend of Night Ranger, Journey, Rush, and .38 Special. We got close to "making it"; we had the Cars' ex-manager sign us and we got some label attention, but grabbing the brass ring just didn't happen, for a few reasons. Allan Holdsworth
College years: Living Colour Fishbone Jazz (I went to University of Maine Augusta's Jazz program and got turned on to all kinds of Jazz and fusion artists) XTC World music (I joined a world music band fresh out of college and listened to lots of Caribbean and Afro-Cuban stuff) More Allan Holdsworth
Adult Life: Joni Mitchell Seal's first 2 albums Soundgarden More appreciation for Frank Zappa Marco Minnemann Allan Holdsworth Niacin King's X Ween Iron Maiden Stick artists, both in solo and band contexts
So much...I can't even think of it all

Re: what kind of music do you listen to except Stick ?
I've been following this thread for a few days and I think the title of it is making me think a bit.
Some of my favorite music of all time is heavlly Stick-laden, especially KC's Discipline and Peter Gabriel's 3rd and 4th albums. I listened to Discipline at least 100 times before I even knew what a Stick was.
And while I listen to a lot of records by Stickists writing reviews and features for the website, there are definitely some discs of Stick music I put on when traveling just because they are great music:
Steve Hahn's sh Glenn Poorman's 101 Normal Cides's El Mundo Interior de los Planetas Stick Men's Soup Splendore's Guilty Bright Brown No Matter How Faint There's Light In Everything Matías Betti's Verdadero Fruto
to name a few...
Would I have encountered this music had I not been a Stick player? Probably not. Beyond the famous and well-publicized there are gems below the surface if you spend enough time digging.

Excellent! Just saw these guys live for the first time last year. I've been a fan since 1990.
