After seeing what our favorite movies are (Flash Gordon being very popular) I'm now curious, what kind bands/artists do other Eastern Christians like?
For me my favorite music is underground punk, heavy metal, and classic rock, my favorite bands include:
-Grade (my favorite band, heres a little sample of their art ) -Led Zeppelin -Kittie (another sample: this is what I listen to to help me sleep) -Queen -Thursday -Rammstien -Ted Nugent -Blink 182 (they are mainstream but I don't care) -Beloved -Judas Priest -Iron Maiden -*ahem*... I really do like Sarah Mclaughlin and Utada Hikaru too.. but uh lets keep that here on the off topic forum

High Brow Music Bach Beethoven Schubert Brahms Bruckner Mahler Rachmaninov Richard Strauss Bela Bartok Astor Piazzolla Puccini
Jazz John Coltrane Cannonball Adderley Miles Davis Duke Ellington Ella Fitzgerald Sony Stitt
Pop/Rock/Country/Etc. Beatles (the greatest band that ever played) Queen (#2 favorite, all the rest in no particular order) Johnny Cash Merle Haggard John Denver Rush Iron Maiden Black Sabbath (early Ozzy Osbourne years) Billy Joel B-52s Devo Pink Floyd Allison Krause Tom Jones Elvis Presley The Doors AC/DC Pat Benetar Tom Petty ZZ Top Scorpions Phil Collins Hank Williams, Jr. Kris Kristopherson (as a songwriter, not as a singer) Men at Work Hall & Oates Marvin Gaye Lionel Richie James Brown Prince
Probably others too. Most of the time now I spend listening to "high brow" stuff and liturgical chant.
Haven't really heard to them... the list continues...
Stevie Ray Vaughan (the reason I play the guitar... and a Strat at that)
Jimi Hendrix Led Zeppelin The Rolling Stones Cheap Trick Peter Frampton AC/DC Queen Anne Murray Etta James Ella Fitzgerald Boston Kansas Stevie Nicks Kanye West Marc Broussard... (Love that blue-eyed soul in that boy) Marvin Gaye Barry White
The Fray Sarah McLachlan Fallout Boy Maroon 5 Elvis Frank Sinatra Rosemary Clooney Michael Buble ABBA The Beach Boys Backstreet Boys Spice Girls (haha I grew up in the 90s) Bon Jovi Van Halen Carole King Il Divo ELO Elton John Queen Johnny Cash Kelly Clarkson The Killers Switchfoot U2
OK, now that I've said my Rosary I can answer this question.
Led Zeppelin. Page has been my biggest influence as a guitar player. Johnny Winter. Seeing him on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert in 1973 is what made me take up guitar. Deep Purple. Blackmore's another of my favorites. Pogues. Got me into mandolin and banjo. Dexys Midnight Runners The Doors Cream Emerson Lake And Palmer Brian Setzer Orchestra Chicago. Love Kath's guitar work. Jethro Tull Spiders From Mars Rory Gallagher Cat Stevens Early Rolling Stones The Who Yes Thin Lizzy Jimi Hendrix Blue Oyster Cult Ted Nugent
Actually I have music by Alex Avramovici and Teodor Munteanu, who despite being Romanian, play alot of Greek folk music, and in the near future I hope to purchase a bouzouki. Looking at one now for $499

Actually, if you look at this link, it has nothing to do with Greek folk music. They are a group of heavenly voices who sing all the Orthodox services in English.
(The bouzouki is great and I love it...it has an interesting history--it was brought to Greece in the early part of the 20th century by refugee Greeks of Asia Minor (Turkey), and was not considered 'Greek' music, until being mainstreamed in the early '60's by greats like Mikis Theodorakis and Hadjithakis who wrote Zorba the Greek, but you still won't hear it in the Greek Orthodox Church! LOL! --There is no such thing as bouzouki liturgies! )
The Beatles (The Beatles greatest band/artists ever) Beatles solo, McCartney my favorite Bruce Cockburn The Who U2 The Moody Blues David Bowie Pete Townshend Eric Clapton Bob Dylan The Rolling Stones Mike Scott solo & with the Waterboys
(the rest in no particular order): Natalie Merchant, solo & with 10,000 Maniacs Sam Phillips (a.k.a. Leslie Phillips, beginning with the Turning and post evangelical career). Sarah McLachlan Madonna (especially late career Ray of light) Sting (with Police and early solo LPs, later ones too pretentious) Ken Medema John Michael Talbot Stanley Clarke Phil Keaggy Rachimoninov Neil Young Billy Bragg Crosby Stills Nash (and Young)
