I am keen to see what the music preferences are of Swaggers who don't mind a bit of live music around a campfire.
I have only put up the most obvious genre's so if there is a sub style you like let me know and I will add it to the poll.
Also please post your favorite song titles up for your selected genre if you wish.
:cheers:

What about none? :)

...ABC Radio...?
-
The sounds of the wind through the gums (gum trees that is). Not sure what genre that is.
I cart around the sound of a thousand crickets in my head most of the time anyway.
-

X 2 :D
I prefer the sights and sounds of the bush too, Counting Crows, keeping an eye out for The Eagles or listening out for other Byrds...
Sorry... couldn't help myself ;D
:cheers:

We generally prefer none also. The worst thing is hearing someone else's music, particularly if it is of a type that you don't like. We did have one night listening to music around a campfire, storms, wind, lightning and thunder around and we played War of the Worlds. The music just seemed to suit the situation. The kids who were pretty little at that stage, got a bit scared...

Anything from Marcel Marceau is what I want to hear. :cheers: :cheers:

screaming jets helping hand is one of my favs

Don't you hate that, I have it all the time.
About to go and see a specialist to find out if there is anything that can be done about it.

Me too.
It's called "Tinnitus" so my boss tells me. Also mentions it can be a real problem! Lack of concentration (yep sounds like me), Tired and irritable (sounds like me not camping). I've had it since I was a kid and the only thing that "covers" the sound is other crickets, frogs or Doof Doof from a neighbouring camp (which can be heard by everyone for 100k radius hearing impaired on not!).
I too prefer the sound of live crickets, frogs, wind in the trees, farting from a nearby chair and the sound of a can cracking the seal. Means we are out in the Country and not at work battling bosses and traffic snarls.

Snow,
Having been around the campfire with you, anything you play on the guiter is fine by me. ;D
-
GU_Thoma and Kit-e-kat, I have heard that listening to classical music can back the crickets off a bit, and is used in the treatment of tinnitus. Alas I would rather listen to the crickets. ;D
-
I go with Gunna, I prefer the wind in the gum trees and the serenade of nature, should be a seventh point, "nature sounds" ;D

The amount of people who listen to country music on this forum is scary!

Dan, it's probably proportionate to the amount that wear flannos I'd say. Get with the game and try it, you might be surprised. ;D

Kasey Chambers anyone?? ;D

Either none or ....
PUNK.....
My fav is ......NOFX.........
So snow , you better be putting punk up then.
Better than that country "songs to seduce your sister by" crap
-
I dont mind a little background music......softly played. But nothing really beats the sound of silence when out camping, get tooooooo much noise around the daily grind and home every day, a bit of peace in the bush is the ticket.
Good conversation is healthy too. 8)
-
Theres a couple of differant kinds of country, the stuff were the trucks broke, the girls gone off with the mechanic and the dogs with em or the more ballady stuff or the country happy stuff. You can keep the cut your throat stuff but ballads and happy are ok. My Ipod has everything from Wolf Mother to John Williamson so Im varied. Plus country has the hottest chick singers 8)
-
None. Especially nothing 'live' >:D >:D >:D
-
Great feedback :cup: Keep it coming. :cheers:
There are quite a few who like the 'Silent' genre. :P >:D >:D >:D

The stuff that Snow makes is great. B

Anything but C and W, it is very painfull to the ears. For me it's retro 80's Pop Rock....... ;D
-
Anything by Snow, especially after a few neck oils will be fine by me ;D ;D
Play it again Snow :cup:

Can that be added as that would be my preference as well.

What Teabag said ...
Back in the day it was "Horrid Noise" by the parents and then it was "80's" by the DJ's ... I think it's called "MainStream" now ... go figure ... still love it though! Don't mind a bit of C&W myself, but only every 20th or 30th song and definitely NOT that one about the feather bed purr-leese!
But never louder than the environment ... of course.

Hi All,
Given that there would be severe competition between the three of us (not to mention arguments over how loud the winning choice should be) we go with the sound of the fire, a good yarn, the scurrying sounds of our natural neighbours and the odd squeal of laughter over music. However, I am not averse to Ms 13 listening to the iPod if it keeps her happy - nothing worse than the sound of whining teens around the fire.

Hi guys and gals
when it comes to music around the campfire, i cant go past John Williamson. For some reason it gives me a real sense of aussie spirit and his songs are easy to sing along to. If im in a bit more of a whacky mood, a bit of 12th man, kevin bl00dy wilson and rodney rude seem to keep the atmosphere lively.
hope everyone is packing their trailers for the holidays!

Got to go with so many others here, the bush classics, nature's own making. Never the same tune twice. (sorry in short no music)
:cheers: Cracka
-
What about none? :)
Much prefer none, but almost always someone else in camp spoils the atmosphere with some garbage.

Since when is Iron Maiden 'old school' ????
-
I normally can't stand listening to this guy but for some reason, out in the scrub, his music just seems to blend in.
-
I much prefer the silence of the bush too, I also like a bit of soft rock/folk rock and blues, Eagles, Birds, Dylan, Steely Dan, Jerry Raferty, Van Morrison.
I was very partial to some of the songs Snow was singing at Knorrit Flat, one in particular suited his voice to a tee!!
I leave the load music for home, Zepplin, Black Sabbath and so on ;D
One thing I cannot stand is Country >:D >:D >:D

-
I can like almost any type of music ( but its gotta be "the" song that does it for you ) .....but can't stand the old style of country ( you know the stuff that sounds like a cat getting strangled )
But around the campfire.....I find it drowns out the meaningful "dribble" we're trying to discuss !! ;D ;D
-
We dont mind some gentle background country music around the camp fire but we keep it down while its early and we are chatting. When we are in the bush on our we will put some good 80's rock on nice and loud later in the night when there are plenty of empties in the bin ;)
-
Rick Astley (and of course Barry Manilow)!

I will listen to anything, as long as its Rockabilly or Waylon Jennings........but I do like to hear things that go bump in the night

If its just me and Mrs Bravo then silence is golden (she won't let me sing).

I'll second....

Thanks to those who have given their input to my little poll, indifferent or otherwise. I have gained some really good stats and idea of the general tastes in music.

Snows next project is MyswagFm.
-
I am working on putting a Myswag ditty/jingle/song together but I don't know how I am going to craft it together now. Maybe a Country Rock Rythm with Punk overtones, over an Old time/bluegrass melody just to suit the majority. ;D ;D ;D
That's is what this whole little project is all about after all.

You do whatever works mate, I know how tricky it can be to write a song that actually works with music. I am happy to provide drunken backup vocals and general guitar bashing. Just don't write about the electrical section...

I can play the Triangle Snow, Actually no I cant I'm tone deaf..... ;D

What about Polka????
(http://steveterrell.blogspot.com/BIGJOE.jpg)
Can we add that to the poll?
-
Darren Do you know the ever popular Polka " Pelted with cans & camping alone " Its very catchy >:D
-
Thought i would add my 2 bobs worth to this music thread ;D
I have been a muso since i can remember and finally retired from playing 12 months ago.
I have played every pub and dive from the major cities to the outback and been doing it since i was 13yo. I play blues traditional style, blues/rock rock and country rock.
When i am out in the bush alone i only play some subtle acoustic or hit up my dobro resonator and write a few tunes and record to my portable Zoom H2, the bush puts me in the spot. At home in my home studio with my electric guitars well all hell can and will break loose once i get a head of steam up.
I respect others peace and quiet when out in the bush and dont break out the acoustic unless asked to or as i said am on my own.
Nothing worse for me than hearing some screaming banshee blowing out of a hi powered system in the middle of the bush in the middle of the night, i prefer to hear the creepy sound of the critters rustling around close by.
I reckon in this day and age and with whats available if you want to listen to something and theres other camps involved nearby, put a headset on and blow your own ears ta buggery and leave everyone else in peace.

Definately Bluegrass and Country Rock. Luv it.

I really like the quiet of the bush. But if there are a few people round the campfile then a singalong is not bad for a while. As long as its something that a few people can join in with.

My problem is i write all my own material and don't play covers, this can put you in a spot in some pubs as people are yelling out can you play this or play that. One venue owner down in Sth Gippland last year yelled out " turn it up play it loud" then she yelled louder!! that was pretty much a 1st for me from a venue owner.
-
You need to add "the silence of the bush" and I think it will blitz the others
-
At night we usually sit around the campfire and talk or let the mind wander into the flickerof the flames against the dark night sky, if we are around the camp during the day we will have a bit of rock going in the background.
I could listen to someone else play an instrument all night but unfortunately I am musically challenged ;D
-
When we're heading off for a camping trip we like to play John Williamson while we're driving as it just seems to make us feel like we're really hitting the bush, if you get my drift. Also like Graeme Connors - he has some great lyrics. Around the camp, we just like the silence and the sounds of the bush, but would actually like to have someone playing live so we could maybe sing along - have never had the privilege of that experience.
I also love country rock - Keith Urban, Adam Brand, Steve Forde, some Sunny Cowgirls, The McClymonts etc.etc.
-
Don't mind country, can't stand western :P
Like Tropic above, will listern during the trip there n back. But seen as I'll mostly be in parks, just wouldn't be right spoiling someone else time.
-
Im a very easy listener and like most types of tunes . If with the family a bit of johnny cash , country stuff and some newer stuff but with mates more rock seems to be played . Also i seem to always play some red hot chilli peppers .

Anything goes, as long as I cannot hear it at my campsite. I hate these boat anchors who spoil the camping experience for others with their loud music. Why go somewhere peaceful, then ruin it with loud music?
Live music, around the campfire, as in the Snowman is great; just wish I could play.
