But my everyday music is classic rock. It’s what I relate to the most and where my heart is.
I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. So whatever. I listen to all if it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that.
I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.
I was inspired by the classic rock radio of the Seventies. They separated Chuck Berry and the Beatles from the Led Zeppelins and Bostons and Peter Framptons of the time. In many ways, classic rock became bigger than mainstream rock.
Classic rock, psychedelic rock - I like to dig up old music and see what I can get influenced by.
I don't like putting a name on my music. It's not just country and rap; it's got Southern rock, classic rock.
My big brother listened to classic rock, and I grew up listening to a classic rock station called KSHE.
It's funny: here I am, a guy who plays in one of the world's biggest classic-rock bands, and to tell you the truth, I listen to classic rock the least.
I love classic rock, rock and roll, that's the top notch. I love soul - bluesy music as well.
Salsa, classic rock, soul music, jazz... all of that was a part of my education in making hip-hop music.
I think my music is definitely country but it's got a little bit of that rock flair about it. I always try to find the things that everyday people deal with in their everyday lives and situations in the songs that I sing.
I want to put out music that everyday people can relate to.
I have always loved rock music. But I have played country music since my senior year in high school. That's where my heart is. I try to keep up with the rock world as much as I can.
Critics and fans use the music of their youth as reference points. For years, people seriously wondered who "the next Beatles" were going to be, and classic rock bands were the de facto yardstick for rock quality.
I was enamored with music at a very young age. Everything started with kundiman, then evolved to Carpenters, Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow, and eventually classic rock music.
I like African music but also R&B, rap, alternative rock, and classic.
