    As a fan of Electric Folk, I thought I would dedicate this one to Ken on his elevation to Ace status.

    When I'm not listening to Marcel Marceau I mix it up with Jazz Blues Classic Rock even some classical from time to time. Pretty much a little bit of everything but rap

    Preference is what is in 'that moment', so I listen to an eclectic mix.

    For the poll I like Classical.

  15. #115

    I go with trying to get close to "period" music or what I think passes close enough,,Duke Ellington, Armstrong,Billy Holiday,Tom waits ..i have an old download of Over There ,,and L Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma ,,,gives me goose bumps. of course plenty of beer and cognac helps set the mood as well.

    LOL, you do realize that a lot of Beethoven's work could be considered "Symphonic Heavy Metal," right? :P Personally, my own "metal" preference is a concerto on the Chicago Piano... there really is something almost musical about a Thompson firing on full-auto.

    Gotta be the 70's. Bowie and Bolan/ Lou Reed and the rest of the Factory. Prog rock , (Genesis, ELP, King Crimson), Yes in particular. Sprinkle in a bit of Zep for the quieter moments and a bit of punk . Stir continuously for a decade and enjoy on ice.

    "I'm a rocker" as the late Mr Lynott sang.
    I listen to both classic rock and more modern stuff. If it has a blues-feel to it, it is right up my sleeve

    Listen to "Rival sons" or "The Temperence movement" and you see what I mean

    As others before me have mentioned, I like a wide variety based on my mood.

    I like Classical music (Bach's Brandenburg concertos are very good), some 80's Rock/pop (Survivor, "Mighty Wings" from the Top Gun soundtrack, and Billy Joel - though he kinda is a category in and of himself), southern gospel (Kingdom Heirs, Triumphant Quartet), Christian contemporary (David Crowder*Band, TobyMac, Seven Places), soundtracks to movies (Gettysburg by Randy Edelman), and a little country (Josh Turner, Rascal Flatts).

    Here's one by David Crowder*Band I've been listening to recently:

    Hmm let me see - the word eclectic springs to mind...

    Jimi Hendrix
    Pink Floyd
    Hawkwind
    Tangerine Dream (pre 1984)
    Rammstein (best live band EVER)
    Mogwai
    Jethro Tull
    The Cure
    Black Sabbath
    Type O Negative
    Bauhaus
    The Damned
    The Stranglers
    Siouxsie and the Banshees

    Some modern prog: Touchstone, Mostly Autumn, Solstice

    Music is a mood thing for me, what I listen to varies but my favourites over time have to be Pink Floyd, Hawkwind and Jethro Tull and Rammstein

    Possibly the biggest +1 ever known to the Aerodrome on this one!

    Not to be morbid but Reise Reise is being played at my funeral at FULL blast - two of my female friends Down Under are going to ensure this happens. Got this idea from a friend of mine who was Saddleworth born Saddleworth bred Saddleworth-wide known and Saddleworth dead aged 56. Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell was played at his funeral at full blast and heard about half a mile away. RIP Broddy!

    Rammstein make regular appearances at the Download Festival which is held at Donington Racing Circuit every year. Used to be better when known as Donington Monsters of Rock Festival until 2001 ...

    I voted for Other, because I prefer Rock, not Rap, and also like Jazz, Classical, and some Blugrass. I'm not fond of Country music, they cry in their beer too much.

    I love many kinds of music so I checked all.
    I also hate a few...

    Southern Gospel & Christian contemporary mainly but I do like some James Taylor and Eric Clapton every now and then. Not a fan of loud noise (rock & rap) . Love the acoustic guitar too.

    I love all sorts of music... my opinion is that good music is good, regardless of what language it's in (if it has lyrics), what genre it's from, or where it comes from. I'll listen to anything that has a good groove and touches my soul in some way or another.

    For tabletop gaming, I like quiet instrumental electronic music like Boards of Canada. I find it helps me focus, and it doesn't intrude on the conversation with my fellow players.

    I voted for classical and "other" -- that being musical theater and film music -- my youngest daughter is in the industry and I've been exposed to some very cool music as a result.

    I'd say Classical and other. Mozart and Beethoven rule but the cd player also shares time with Above & Beyond, Enya, Loreena McKennet, Chris DeBurgh, Andrea Bochelli and more.

    Wow, someone else who knows who Loreena McKennet is?! Love that genre.

    Southern NZ or US?

    If you like the genre, try out Zradio.com out of Orlando. They have four Christian stations; contemporary, rock, gospel, and hip-hop. My boys and I listen to the rock station a lot.

    Most have never heard of her. I have been lucky to have been to three of her concerts. Truly amazing.
