What Kind of Music Do You Like?
David In Indy:
Music individualizes us. Music speaks to us and tells others who we are and how we think and feel about ourselves and the world around us. Music is important. It speaks for us when we are at a loss of words. What kinds of music speaks for you?
I love Classical and Baroque music (I play the piano, cello and violin). I also love country music, classic rock and Big Band Jazz.
Actually I love to listen to everything! :)
What do you like to listen to? :D
I also love Disco... yeah, i remember those days! :)

I guess because I was a teenager all thru the 60's...that is my favourite sound, I was in the middle of Beatlemania.
Love the bee bop sounds of the fifties, simple songs, great harmonies.And Elvis lives on no matter how old we are.
Also a fan of motown and country....the country ballads...not too keen on the okey from miskousky type songs, but the ballads tell some great stories.
Im a romantic, so I love any love songs from any era, as long as i can understnd the words and sing along....and there is nothing like a song to make you remember a person, place, time, event or lover.

Hi David- great question :)
I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to musical tastes- I like most of the ones you have listed. But I selected
Classical (I also play the violin!),
Appalachian (anything with the hammered dulcimer is amazing),
Native American(Walela, Joanne Shenandoah, Sharon Burch),
Culture (Other),
and Other.
For Culture (Other) I would include Celtic music- of which I am HUGE fan- traditional Celtic and modern. (Loreena McKennitt, The Brobdingnagian Bards, The Corries)
For "Other" I would say Folk music (e.g. Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Rufus Wainwright, etc.)

I picked hard rock, classic rock, hip hop, soft rock, and club/disco. Do you see a pattern emerging, here? ;)
My oldest brother taught himself to play the guitar, then to read and write music. When he was in his teens, he had a hard rock band he called "Goliath." This was in the mid to late 70s, so they played lots of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Three Dog Night, and a little bit of concept rock like Yes, Jethro Tull, and ELP. I grew up on that stuff, so naturally, that's the sound I gravitate towards.
If you had included punk, I'd have picked that over soft rock. I do like some classical and some world and some jazz and even some country, but give me a driving back beat, and it doesn't matter much what the front sounds like - I'm in.

Punk is in the list now! It is under the "Other" catagory, so it looks kind of weird, but if I did it any other way, it would have messed up the votes. If I set this up correctly, you should be able to go back and change your vote if you want to! :)
