Nationally, we are all different and yet very similar.
Some of the MOST similar things are the music we play. The biggest difference is the instruments and of course the language, but most follow the same musical rules as to what is and what isn't pleasing to the human era.
I'll list some of my favorites, and you may not like all or any of mine, but it'll be fun to see where we can gain understanding of the values of music from other sources.
Of course, my first love is:
SURF and Rock-n-Roll. You can't beat a powerful backbone with the bass and kick drum.
Then we get to my most cherished and it's something you'll prolly never like, but to me I love it:
Grand Opera although the basslines are kinda tougher.
I love what I call 'Road House" like
SRV and
ZZ Top.
Cajun has a lot of intrigue for me, especially the older stuff with lots of button accordion. This music - popular in the Bayous is really from France and the Acadian roots from the early religious escapees from Catholic France who got to Nova Scotia and then about in 1764 migrated to the swamps of the Southeast US, near Florida and Louisiana.
Their music can be traced back to France and many songs from France drifted to the bayou and the prairie region via Nova Scotia and New Orleans.
These older ballads are not widely performed today, but were the basis of what is now accepted as Cajun music but artists like Michael Doucet w/Boujelouise, Buckwheat Zydeco and Wallace 'Cheese' Reed are still calling these ballads into popularity today.
I have quite a few of their albums in MP3 versions (hint-hint)
Zydego is another form of Cajun music and is very complex for it's speed and rapid 1/16th notes, especially the bass lines and the lead violin.
There are a lot of offshoots of Cajon: o Traditional Cajun
o Country/Texas Swing Cajun
o Dancehall Cajun
o Cajun "Renaissance"
o Contemporary Cajun Music
Here's a sample of Cajon music:

Now let's hear what you guys like and we can pass this on in reference to our bass lines.
