What genre of music do you usually find yourself listening to (and enjoying it immensely)?

p.s.: I know it's unfair to clump some genres together, because each one is so distinct and deserves a podium of its own, but hey, I can't have more than 10 choices on a poll. Don't mean to offend anyone :)

Classical, oldies, Motown, Queen, Thin Lizzy, easy jazz etc. In other words, although I clicked Classical, that's only part of my musical taste and i figured it wouldn't get too many votes.

You can vote on more than one, Alexa...Also thanks for letting me see that I completely forgot about Jazz! :eek: Maybe I could group Oldies and 70's together, hmm... :D

I clicked all that you listed - also I enjoy international/cultural music like Ghorwane of Mozambique and I absolutely love Ismael Lo. I also listen to a lot of Native American music like JoAnn Shenandoah, Carlos Nakai and Robert Miribal.

I'll add indie and ska to my list, because that "alternative/metal/etc." choice was a bit vague.

To save Nimue from physical harm, ska predates reggae and is a bit faster and more "jumpy." It started in Jamaica, but was re-discovered in England in the late 70's (2nd wave) and later New York in the 80's (3rd wave). It's kind of on the down low now since a peak of popularity in the 90's. Some bands you might have heard of (although these are a blend of ska and other styles): Less Than Jake, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and very early No Doubt. A typical ska band will have guitar/bass/drums/vocals along with a horn section.

Okay. What if you have to vote for *everything*?

Sorry, but I love most *all* genres of music. From Let's Get it Started to Strawberry Fields Forever to Beethoven's 9th...if it moves me, I'm into it. :)

Classical (Renaissance and Baroque, more specifically) followed closely by Asian... which is totally unrepresented in the poll :P

Awww, that's not nice, burrito. Some aren't as old as us and don't know what true ska is. ;)
