I was wondering since im always at my local pool hall and act as the DJ since no once care really about it .. What kind of music you like to ear while playing ?

Artist and Title Please !

Thanks people !
 
GREAT TOPIC!

Definitely classic rock. Always enjoy when wearwolves of london (warren zevon) gets played cause i feel like Vince in Color of Money.

Rolling Stones are the ultimate pool hall soundtrack. Not generic stuff like Start Me Up or Beast of Burden. But classics like Tumbling Dice, Cant You Hear Me Knockin, Gimme Shelter, B*tch. Anything off Exile on Main Street.

Creedence - best of..Volume I is a classic album you could play all the way through.

As far as personal favorites go that I always put on the jukebox:
dylan - like a rolling stone
jimi - vodoo chile
doors - break on through
beatles - come together
john lennon - the ballad of john and yoko
bruce - rosalita
ricky martin - livin la vi.....just kidding
neil young - rockin in the free world

dont get me started...
 
Classic Rock all the way:

The Rolling Stones
The Doors
Eric Clapton
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Guess Who
The Eagles

etc., etc., etc.,

I prefer quiet, jukeboxes are for bars. When playing pool, the rhythm I want to focus on is that of the game.

If we must have music in the poolroom, I vote for anything by Tom Waits. Of course what I want is irrelevant - pretty much everywhere is either rap or 60s rock.
 
I wear an mp3 player, and here is some of what's on it now:

A3 - Woke Up This Morning (theme to The Sopranos)
a-ha - Velvet
The Ataris - Boys of Summer
Blue Man Group with Esthero - White Rabbit
Casting Crowns - Who I Am
dc Talk - Lord I Lift Your Name On High
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
Kutless - Dry
Gary Allen - Smoke Rings In The Dark
Lifehouse - Into The Sun
Nina Persson - Bluest Eyes In Texas
The Postal Service - Against All Odds
Chevelle - The Red
Sugarcult - Memory
Nada Surf - If You Leave
Cyndi Lauper - I Drove All Night
Jewel - You Make Loving Fun
Til Tuesday - Voices Carry
Carly Simon - Coming Around Again
Sponge - Wax Ecstatic
Point of Grace - Keep The Candle Burning

And anything by Veruca Salt, Phil Collins, Madonna (80s), 30 Seconds To Mars, Brand New, Peter Cetera, TRUST Company, Dido, Fleetwood Mac / Stevie Nicks (70s and early 80s), Jonathan and Lisa, Jars of Clay, MercyMe, Sarah McLachlan, Ani DiFranco, The Cardigans, Nelly Fertado, Milla, Venus Hum, and Bjork.
 
BLUE GRASS/ COUNTRY alternating with TECHNO.
Shorty, On few occasions I did that-loaded with lots of country.
 
In my room I have XM Radio and play blues all day and Classic Rock from 8 till close, no complaints in years. and it doesn`t change any way.
 
Classic rock and blues all the way, especially Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bob Seger and Eric Clapton.

Adagio For Strings - Samuel Barber - William Orbit.mp3

I also like soft rock with the volume so low that you can't here it unless you want to.

Thanks for this string. I've got a lot of good material to download.

Most of the pool establisments in this area are sports bars with ill-bred crowds playing head-banger music and yelling during football games. Don't get me started.

Yeah!!!!

That "stop shot" runout he had , while the song was playing, was TRULY REMARKABLE :) Do I dare to dream!!!!
 
No one mentioned Jonny Lang and "Rack em up"! Not to mention, "Lie to me!" Jonny really rocks and so does Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Noah Hunt his lead singer!
One particular song I really like is actually a remake and a movie soundtrack, version of the old Procol Harem song "A Whiter Shade of Pale". The soundtrack to the movie "The Net" with Sandra Bullock was done by Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics. One of the few instances where I like the remake as well as the original, maybe a tad better depending on my mood at the time! ;)


just more hot air!


Sherm
 
SRV
The Doors
Johnny Winter
JJ Cale
The Beatles
Iggy Pop
The Ramones
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Neil Young
Wide Mouth Mason
Jimmy Hendricks
Albert King
Peter Tosh
Steve Earl
Joe Satriani
NOFX
And about a hundred billion more bands!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, greenday and limited Greatfull Dead, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Norah Jones.
 
Actually, I am a smooth jazz kinda guy. Some Old School RnB is cool. You know, all of the stuff they sample for hip-hop hits. However, NOTHING that causes the daters at the next table to loudly proclaim "I LOVE THIS SONG", or worse yet, bump into me while trying to dance just as I am pulling the trigger on a shot. However, more important than the choice of music, to me, is the volume of the music. I want to be able to hear the CRACK of a draw stroke on the next table. I don't like having "the sounds of a pool room" drowned out by "KICK'EM WHEN THEIR UP, KICK'EM WHEN THEIR DOWN"

GOD, I sound old.

Anyway, thats my two cents.
