Music.. do you like certain types of music or does it depend on your mood??

For me it depends on my mood. I listen to a large range of different music.

Ray charles - top of my list when listening to music.

Nina Simone

Dire straits

Status Quo

ACDC

The Dubliners

Bob Marley

sometimes a bit of Tina or Whitney is fun

Oh yeah with a bit of beethoven and Vivaldi mixed in there.

Pink is pretty cool too.

My OH said I listen to "oude stoffige muziek" - old dusty music. Considering my age (25). But I like the music Ray played, it's my happy music!

So what music do you listen to?

That's a fairly diverse list.

I think ACDC is about the only one on it that I have little interest in, though have never turned them off when the radio brought them up.

I like the old dusty stuff from the fifties, and Motown, Rock and Roll from the early days, Blues, Cajun, Zydeco, Blue Grass, pretty much everything.

I'm all over the place music-wise too, Chloe_88!:guitarist

I like the old stuff. you know, when music was music..

Also Vaya Con Dios was something my mum and I would sing to in the car when I was a little girl :wah:

* although that's not super old..

I can listen to anything you've listed. People are quite suprised at the wide spectrum I'm capable of immersing myself in.

I'm 57 but will happily listen to drum and base, dubstep, trance as well as old school rap, hip hop, heavy metal, ambient, psychodelic weirdo stuff.

I struggle with Country and Western and Opera but I wouldn't dismiss it.

My recent "starred" Artists on Spotify are ShockOne, Nightmares on Wax, Blue Tonic World, Knife Party, Spocks Beard, Chickenfoot, Laura Mvula and Devin Townsend

There are only two kinds of music. Good and bad

I must admit I don't recognise any of the artists you've named. But you are right, only good and bad music.. I don't have any "in between" music.

Btw. most of the time (except for Ray) I'm not a real fan of artists per se, I mostly like a couple of their songs.

I know I named artists, but those are the ones that are mostly in my "playlist'

Well anyone who puts Ray Charles on a list next to Nina Simone gets my vote for music lover.

I'm the same way, mostly I listen to the new alternative stuff, but sometimes I like the oldies (especially when bands I knew put out new stuff like the new Boston.)

By the way, that jeff Lynn Album is excellent. (He is the lead singer for Electric Light Orchestra.)

Jeff Lynne - Long Wave

Here's my response;

I can see that Saint_ doesn't much care for Jeff Lynn. :p

My library consists mostly of folk, rock, and classical music. There is no rap in my library because I haven't figured out yet if something with no melody or harmony can be called music.

I have often told my grandkids, Just because it has rhythm, doesn't mean it is music.

:wah:

but.. so true.

I must say I don't like rap either.

Btw, this is the song my mum always sang to me: (still makes me laugh!)
