Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4

Lucifer's "ticked off" now, because of all those who chose to keep their music in the previous three threads, he's (she's?) decided to allow all you Music Lovers only ONE genre of music, ie Rock, Pop, Classical, Opera, C/W, Blues-- well, you get the idea. And please no quibbling or weaseling your way into multiple genres. "Big L" knows there are a lot of "cross over" artists, and sup-categories, but you've got to stick to the generally recognized main ones-- or the heat will be turned up.

This (to me) is tough'cuz I like a lot of different types of music, but I'd go with Blues. Good Luck. Craig

Well you tell me Craig, if you see live music in all the categories you mention pretty much equally without necessarily preferring one over the other and listen at home across a broad band, how do you choose?

If the question were based on seeing live, probably classical music because on the rig it doesn't do it the same way as in the concert hall. What the hell kind of trick question is this? :)

Whatever you choose--he's going to make you listen to Rap music at ear damaging volumes. If by some chance you like RAP he'll make you listen to the Prairy Home Companion (same episode--over and over). NO ONE CAN LIKE BOTH OF THESE--but if they do, I compliment you on having the widest range of musical tastes ever--and may have actually foiled lucifer.

Much as I like rock and folk, I could live without them. Not so with classical--that's my choice. I think Abstract's right, though, based on my experience (it's required to sell your soul to the Devil when you become a lawyer).

Craig, well, "folk" might be closer to the truth, if that includes Iris DeMent and Doc Watson. How about Mary Black? Does Irish count as folk? How about Alison Krauss? Bluegrass count as folk? If I call it Hillbilly music is it folk?

Here's why I say Zydeco if it's a pact with the Devil. The Devil is, well, evil. And if he allows you to pick the genre, he reserves for himself the right to pick the tunes. I love folk music, but there's a lot of bad folk music out there he'd make me listen to. I love rock, but there's a lot of bad rock out there he'd make me listen to. Same with classical.

The difference with Zydeco is, I have never heard a Zydeco performance or recording that didnt have me grinning from ear to ear like the Village Idiot.
