Favourate Music of the Chefs??

[GastroNaut]

Metallica is good just before service...
Techno good for clean up :-)

John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" and Miles Davis' "Scetches of Spain". I can listen to these two anytime. Also, on a very busy day Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's "Couldn't Stand the Weather" gets me going and keeps me going!

Folk, Rock, Classical and Gregorian Chant, Oh and Fred Astaire. My choices are as diverse as the food I cook. BUT I couldn't work with music in the kitchen let alone T.V.
Where do you get time to watch T.V.?
I suppose the tempo gets cranked up at service to speed things along?

I love The Moody Blues, Foreigner, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler,BeeGees, and most of all, my son's band...Bionic Man

[Papa]

I do my best cooking with Luciano Pavaroti.

[Pooh]

Why am I not surprised, Papa! Good choice.

I like jazz.

[Papa]

Thanks Pooh!

[Pastachef]

Oooo, Papa, I LOVE Pavaroti!

[Pastachef]

How could I forget? I love Pink FLoyd and Aerosmith too There are many more. I'm an antique. LOL! I'll remember a little at a time. My dad was a popular jazz musician in our area. I used to get so tired of listening to their 'gigs' that I hid out on the roof as a kid

Okay, I'm really embarrassed to admit this but I figure it will give some people something to laugh about: the only concert I've ever been to was when I was 15 and went to see Menudo. At least I got to see little Ricky Martin when he was 12!!!
I'm a BIG Duran Duran & U2 fan, as well as Tears for Fears, the Cranberries, Stevie Nicks and Mana. Love those guys.
We have an interesting radio schedule at work, for the first 4 hours we listen to top 40 pop music, and the last 4 hours the Hispanic guys take over and listen to their choice(musica ranchera, which sounds a lot like polka and mariachi kinda mixed together).

I do my best cooking to ZZTop. Unfortunately where I work, Vivaldi rules.

Lemme start by telling Spot my best lyric rewrite ever (very popular pastime in the kitchens I've worked)

Was it Heart or maybe Quarterflash who sang:

Lemme throw gravy on you
Gra-a-a-vy on you
Lemme throw gravy, gravy on you

As for favorite music, here's the list, in no order whatsoever

Jazz: Bird, Trane, Sachmo, Goodman, Louis Prima, Ella, and Lady Day

Rock: Zep, Floyd, Who, Rush, (my age is showing, isn't it?) Also, Indigo Girls and Melissa Etheridge (my wife says I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body)

Classical: Tchaikovsky (especially his 5th symphony), Brahms, Bach, Paganini and Mozart

Opera (singers) Kiri Takanowa (sp?) and Caruso.

Peace,
kmf

Jazz---real jazz----not the smooth stuff
and David Bowie

[Chef David Simpson]

It's good to see this is still going strong. Does anyone like "Punk Rock"? If so, what bands?

[mofo1]

Hi CDS, haven't heard from you for awhile. Punk is my favorite. But, I may have a wider view of what punk is than most. Sex Pistols, the Clash, Television, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, The MC5, Iggy Pop, The Ramones. Love them all. The Who and the Kinks were punk before their time. I would even make the argument that the Original "punk" was none other than Frank Sinatra. Now wait, just listen. He did what he wanted and listened to no one. He was the ultimate in cool. He sang with power about troubles in life, and finally, he had the cahonies to confront "the man" on both his own behalf, and the on the behalf of others who were downtrodden. The man was cool. I miss him. You should see the looks I get when my cd changer goes from the Sex Pistols to Frank and then on to the Ramones. I love it.
