How eclectic is your taste in music?

Most, if not all, of my best friends in life have embraced different forms/styles/types of music.  

The music ranged from Jazz to Classical to some Rock and others...even some more classic, early country. 

Do you enjoy various music styles or are you more focused on a type or two?....And how/where does the 
music of this season fit in?  I find Nat Cole doing Mel Torme's  "The Christmas Song" comes very close to nearly everything I love about music. 

And I have gotten over people thinking the title to that song is "Chestnuts Roasting"....I no longer have the urge to burn down their tree...mostly.

Fairly, I guess?

Various subgenres of jazz, blues, and rock.  Folk.  Americana.  Choral.  Opera.  Some classical.  Some country.

Not many things just leave me completely cold.  I've never found any metal that appeals to me.  Fusion sounds like bad jazz and worse rock, to me, but I do like some jazz-folk fusion (Bela Fleck, Goat Rodeo).  I'll go as far as In A Quiet Way, and that's about it.  Those are about the only ones I can think of.

Check out the outstandingly engineered and my go-to opera compilation classic and see what you think... “Pavarotti - 24 Greatest HD Tracks” in the 24 bit/96KHz version.

I mentioned I do enjoy opera, and this conversation reminds me that I should clarify something about that.  I enjoy recordings of *performances* of operas.  I'm not a huge fan of records that are just recordings of opera[tic] music.

That's nothing against parker's recommendation here.  I imagine it's great.  The conversation just reminded me that *my* opera taste is a bit specific.

Probably half my enjoyment of opera is following the actors as they move around on the stage.  Left and right.  Forward and back.  It's an audiophile thing. :-P
