WOW, what a great topic. I can't imagine a day without music, I drive the Memsahib mad as I must have the radio on whenever I'm in the house. I have a very eclectic taste in music and provided it is good of it's type I will listen EXCEPT rap. Can't abide it no mater how clever the words are.
I find that the type of music I will listen to very much depends on the weather so on a sunny day it's got to be West Coast, by that I mean Beach Boys, CSN&Y, Love, Doors etc. On a day when I am a bit more thoughtful perhaps a bit of Blues.
To get the blood moving, you can't beat a bit of Handle or the Russian composers like Boradin (is that the correct spelling? )but of course you can't beat seeing it live with other people like when we saw the Stones last summer Brilliant!!
