I love the classics too. Boston, REO, Kansas, Styx, Queen etc...
I suppose my age is beginning to catch up with me though. I am not all that familiar with these new groups. I can't keep track of them all. ???

For my mellower moments I love Beethoven - he's my favourite classical composer.
I love a bit of classic rock, also (Yes, Hendrix, Led Zep etc) 'cos that was what my older sis was listening to so it was always on in the house.
Finally, I'd have loved to put hip-hop (only the late 70s & early 80s really rhythmic stuff that came out of the disco era, when mainstream hip-hop actually had something to say apart from 'yo, sit on my face bitch' - ugh!), but...
...I put 'other' because an honourable mention has to go to the New Romantics (Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet et all) who were around when I was in my early teens and just starting to go out to parties and pubs. One of those records comes on and it always makes me smile :)
At the moment I'm listening to Elbow a lot...

I'm not sure I remember hip-hop in the seventies and eighties, but I certainly agree with you, this current/modern hip-hop (the kids call it rap here in Indiana) is AWFUL! But, many people a little younger than me seem to enjoy it.
Is Elbow a pretty good group? Maybe I will have to check it out! :)

They're a British rock group I got into about a year ago - I love 'em. The album i'm listening to a lot at the moment is 'Leaders of the Free World' - great lyrics and a really chilled out kinda album. Click on the link below, scroll down to 'listen to samples' and see what you think!

Thanks for that. I used to love listening to that song, it was kind of twisted and out of it, but very eighties. :D
