What kind of music do you like to listen to? I like the melody of deep, gentle pop ballads. Here are the pop songs I usually listen to every day: Ik Hou Van Mij – Tabitha De Overkant – Suzan, Freek, Snelle Oostenwind – Nick & Simon
As I get older, I listen to more and more classical music. My semi large collection allows me to pull out just about any genre I care to hear, and I love it all. Country, jazz, pop, punk, rock, soul, world music, opera. @ Oldhvymec. There is nothing more pathetic than old geezers dancing around the hat or dancing at all! I do it all the time.

Look at my dance partner...Bow Wow. Us old guy can't be choosers!!
Honestly though.. I love to dance.. Me and the mail lady dance all the time, sometimes the mail man. My mother use to love to dance, I guess that's why.. Hugh square dance event's. Right on into the Cha cha cha.. She didn't care...:-)
Muddy Waters... Oh heck yea!
I been really liking Lenny Kravitz, lately.. That dude can get with it, tight band, dang..
Genre is far less important for me than artistic expression. My only criterion is whether the music emotionally gets under my skin. Putting it another way, I like both vanilla and chocolate. But strawberry? Nevahhhhhh!
Classical (occ. jazz). I like country and 50s/60s rock too--I just don't play it except in the cheap-ass cd-player of my '88 station wagon. (Ah dancing! I remember that! Maybe next summer).
Mostly jazz from the 50’s to early 60’s and classical, with a bit of classic rock thrown in for good measure. That said, my collection is rather eclectic and I do partake in other genres as the mood strikes.
Wow...I had to stop and think a minute. Yes, as I get older I'm listening to classical music more often but I'm also educating myself with David Hurwitz's excellent You Tube channel. Tonight I started off with Charles Ives Symphony No 2, a piece I discovered 40 years ago, followed by Lou Harrison's Solstice Ballet, right now it's Joshua Redman's Walking Shadows....and I'm certain that there will be Sarah Jarosz's truly beautiful World On The Ground before I go to bed. The only thing I don't listen to much anymore is rock....but there is always time for Little Feat.
Old electronic/industrial (I'm over 60) Listen to this on your Super Stereo (recommend not to loud - not to low) Throbbing Gristle's 50 Jazz Funk Greats Hot On Heels of Love (Remastered) a side note: The album cover photo is at the cliff famous for it's suicides
ebm -- Mickey Katz? Love the guy. I still have the Katz Pajamas LP (in stereo!) my dad gave me and my sister when we were kids. I have a 45 rpm single of the guy's Come On-A My House I salvaged from my dad's collection. It's amazing how often Katz' craziness courses through my noggin. Klezmer Music on Krack.
As a kid, playing Mom & Dads records; lots of blues records, Clarence brown, buddy guy, BB king, howlin wolf, + many more..., Elvis, beach boys, Beatles, lots of old country , hank Williams, Merle haggard, will Nelson etc etc. have a great base of good music, then I started hangin with my older cousin, he introduced me to thin lizzy, Black Sabbath, coven, deep purple, nektar, Donovan, Rob dylan, many others,!
Then I heard Paul Samson, my life changed, the British metal explosion hit me like a ton of bricks, then onto Judas Priest, Y&T, kiss (they were ok) then the true metal scene enveloped me, and I’ve not looked back. mercyful fate slayer metallica & Megadeth (Mustaine, being the better of the two bands) Bathory and every metal band from the early 80s’ til now (although the only metal I really get into now are those retro thrash bands playing 80’s thrash into the 2000-2020
but after a Napalm Death/carcass/1349 concerts, I find myself listening to John Denver/Donovan/humble pie on the way home.
I like to listen to different music, different styles - classical, rock, indie. Therefore, I like collections on YouTube or Spotify. I prefer the daily Spotify suggestions based on my playlist because I don't like to listen to the same thing all the time.
To begin with, I am a fan of music that has all or most of the following attributes, in no particular order:
High level of musicianship Complexity (chord progressions, time signatures, harmonic structure, etc) Broad range of emotional content (positive & negative emotions) Usually long form (music that develops & changes over time)
Music that bores me, is short songs, in standard time signatures, that follow the usual verse>chorus>bridge format.
The types of music that I like that fit the above attributes are:
Jazz (fusion, avant-garde, post bop, jazz-metal, chamber jazz, M-Base, and other, modern contemporary subgenres)
Classical (20th century from mostly post WWII, contemporary, avant-garde)
Brandford got warm, but missed the point. Anyway, here it is:
“There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed.” - Duke Ellington
