Some of my musician friends (who are black) listen to and have respect for hard rock, heavy metal, alternative rock and radio friendly pop. They try to stay diverse.

Other black people I know ONLY listen to hip hop, club music and modern r&b. Nothing else.

Not saying one is better than the other but that's what I've observed.

Who do your musician friends listen to?

I like Huey Lewis & The News, Phil Collins, Queen, The Beatles, The Cars, Van Halen, Guns N Roses, Eminem, Pat Benatar (if only for one song), Madonna, and Gaga has been warming up to me.

I'm sure there's more but these are the ones I thought of off the top of my head.

A lot of my musician friends (black/white/hispanic) listen to a wide variety of music...jazz/funk/blues/classical/rock, etc.....It's cool because I as I mentioned before the black musicians will dig white artists from Alice In Chains to Joni Mitchell to The Beatles to Black Sabbath...(hell... my new favorite rock band is FARMIKOS)....and the white musicians I know love artists like Parliament, John Coltrane, Marvin Gaye, Duke Ellington, Public Enemy, etc.....I guess with musicians it's a diverse/respect/learning enviornment thing...good music is good music no matter who creates it.

Duran Duran is #1 but there's tons like 3eb, Beatles, The Monkees, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Go West, The Eagles, U2, Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper, John Mayer (before he was super douchey) and others...

Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde (can't get any whiter than that! wink ) was Jimi Hendrix' favourite album.

What a fucking ridiculous and insulting thread; it implicitly works with the assumption that
Black people are monolithic and do not enjoy white artists as much as white people do. So,
now you have Black people in this thread trying to prove they are not ignorant of other
forms of music and inadvertently buy into the stereotype that Blacks prefer music performed
by other Blacks.

I know the OP didn't mean to come across as a ding-dong, but for future reference, Black
people like all kinds of music!

Everybody's different I personally like Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, Sting, Basia, Michael Franks, Manhattan Transfer, Bob James. Most of my black friends and white friends don't like these artist so again everybody different.
