Creators: Which era of music do you feel most inspired by? ‌✨

[Pandora]

Whether you lived it or discovered it later, which musical era continues to influence your sound?

[RuN13]

Anything from my peak era of 2009-ish until now, as well as 80's to 90's stuff. So basically 80's to present. Everything. Let's say everything.

[Spatrick79]

Definitely the 80's and 90's but still love the new stuff like Goose, Stick
Figure and Slightly Stoopid thinking those era's captivate them as well.

Hi @Spatrick79 Thanks for commenting.

I understand, the '80s and '90s have most of the music I like.

Which artists from that era have inspired you?

[HunterPandora]

Hi @RuN13 

Interesting, the '80s are one of my favorite musical eras 🌐 🎶

Which artists from that era do you like the most and who inspired your sound?

[RuN13]

I'm not 100% sure about which artists go with which decades, but I really love some artists like Busta Rhymes, (a lot of the gangster rap from that era), most all the wunby dubs that were starting up in those times, and most all rock/hard rock. It's hard to place names (other than busta... go busta) because all of it is so good.

[HunterPandora]

Hi @RuN13 Thanks for replying.

I wasn't familiar with Busta Rhymes, but I've listened to some of their songs, like Counting Green and I Know What You Want (feat. Flipmode Squad), and I have to say I enjoyed them; I liked the vibe they gave off 😎

And yes, I know how difficult it is to mention just a few of the many names of the music we like.

Finally, I'd like to mention that I also love Hard Rock from that era, like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, etc...

Have a nice day!

[RuN13]

You too!

My roots are in Classical Music. I mostly listen to Baroque and Classical
music in the morning and then switch to New Age Ambient Music for the rest
of the day.
When working out in the gym, I listened to upbeat Trance Music.

I can vibe with all genres any year but R&B from mid 2000s brings back all the memories from the kiddo years of running around the blocks with the boys

Been getting into the EDM and stuff again more over the last year.

Hey @TOOLIE634, that is such an exciting perspective! It´s refreshing to hear someone talk about the 2000s. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[JoshPandora]

Hey @Ruiz4251! That is a powerful "four-pillar" foundation! The complex layering of the Renaissance, the percussive fire of Spanish guitar, and the ethereal breath of flute music sounds like you are building a massive, cinematic world. 

If possible, it would be great if you could share your content with us; I'd love to hear it! 🎶

[JoshPandora]

Hey @Qenja! That is such a soulful and powerful foundation to build upon! The '70s era of The Commodores, Barry White, and The Manhattans represents the absolute gold standard for arrangement and "bigness."

[JoshPandora]

Hi @heety44! It is clear that you are drawing from a very deep and specific well of musical history. The connection between James Cleveland and the innovative soul of Curtis Mayfield provides a strong foundation for any creator. 

It would be great to hear some of your content! 🎵
