What's Your Favourite Music ?

I love all music. There’s too many genres to pick just one favourite.
I particularly enjoy Ska, Reggae, Southern Rock, Northern Soul,
Rhythm and Blues, Soul, Classical Rock, Classical Music, Country Music, Pop Music.
I really enjoyed Gareth Malone last week when he was training up 8 singers to take part in Handel’s Messiah alongside some world class performers at Llandaff Cathedral.
I think the only music I don’t like is Jazz and Rap.

Soul music and Motown.

Same as you NotAGran55...but include Jimmy Paige and Angus Young !

Any music played on this marimba

Mainly Rock and Indie, but also Punk and Reggae/Motown.

Rock and pop, a little country (Kenny Rogers style) , a little folk (more Simon and Garfunkel though). My Spotify randomly shuffling yesterday evening included The Beatles, Oasis, Marty Robbins, ABBA, The Archies, Linda Ronstadt, Deep Purple, Chappell Roan, The Tremeloes, Joan Baez, S&G, Gordon Lightfoot, The Monkees…

By day I listen to Boom Radio.

60's music is happy music. I went to The Cavern and other Liverpool clubs and had a great time.
Then along came Queen and I saw them twice - wonderful!
I like Meatloaf - I would do anything for love.

Traditional folk but also Meatloaf, Bobby Darin, Everly Brothers. Not keen on lady singers except June Tabor and Maddy Prior.

Soul music is my favourite, although I like a lot of pop and rock too as well as some country music.

I had a cd of Tom Lehrer. Loved it. It was stolen in a burglary. I hope whoever has it now is enjoying “Poisoning pigeons in the Park” and “Oedipus Rex” who “Luuurved his motherrr”!

I like all kinds of music. Favourites are Queen, ELO, Abba, Neil Diamond, and too many others to name. And some classical, opera, choral music.
Nothing beats good old rock and roll though.

Vivaldi, Corelli, Bach, {family}, Wagner, Carl Orff..... but also Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Becaud et al, and even Tom Lehrer's The Elements [anyone know this masterpiece]?

I do. I like Tom Lehrer, very clever. I’m mostly a classical music lover, though, with Mozart, Bach, Mahler, Schubert, Britten particular favourites. I’ve sung music by all of them. Britten wrote superb vocal music, like Rejoice in the Lamb (love the section about the cat) and of course the great War Requirm.

I'm anything from Mozart to Iron Maiden and Guns and Roses - actually nothing much more recent than Guns and Roses.

Composers of so called Light Music were in a class of their own:
Eric Coates, Ronald Binge and Trevor Duncan, to name but a few.

As long as the Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul are featured I’m happy. Hendrix, Beck, Guy, Gilmour, Moore, Page, Townsend, Bonamassa, Green, Cray, Townsend,Knopfler, my son, and Clapton all make my heart sing 🎸

Oh and how could you leave out Eric Coates from a list of British composers. Unforgettable tunes.

Classical is my go to; an endless list headed by the three B’s - Bach, Brahms, Borodin - but I love the English composers - Vaughan Williams, Holst, Elgar, Britten, Malcolm Arnold, and female composers like Doreen Carwithen and Ethel Smyth. I also like 1940s and 50s Big band swing music, and the likes of Gershwin, Cole Porter, Rogers and Hammerstein and Jerome Kern. Anything by Johns Williams and John Barry. Pop left me behind with Fleetwood Mac!

Depends where we are or where I am.

Grand fan of The Gypsy Kings / Celine Dion / Barbara Streisand / The music from The Phantom of the Opera, Michael Jackson, Barry White, Donna Summer, Tina Turner, Gladys Knight, The 4 Tops, amongst many others especially from the 1960s / 1970s / 1980s ..

George Michael and Beethoven.

Northern Soul!

Bruce Springsteen, Bach and Ella Fitzgerald are my favourites.

My musical tastes are quite eclectic, but my music collection mainly consists of punk, indie, emo, rock and some metal.

Classical is my favourite but I have a very long list of favourite composers. Handel, Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Berlioz, Brahms, Bruch, Elgar and Ravel are particular favourites but I like many others, too. I enjoy hymns and choruses at church and traditional British folk songs. The pop music l like is of the gentler, tuneful variety with ABBA and Blondie being all-time favourites. I like Billy Joel and Rick Wakeman. Again, the list is far from exhaustive. One other genre of which I am very fond is light/film music. I like the British composers of this style but, in my opinion, the American composer Leroy Anderson was the best of all.

I love many genres, so my taste is very eclectic. I would be hard pressed to say which I favoured.
It depends to some extent on what mood I’m in as to which music I listen to at any given time.
I do not have a preferred type. What I really dislike though is barber quartet music (which you don’t hear a lot of, I admit), and some of the punk “music” (though it depends what it is - I never, ever liked the noise sounds Sid Vicious made, but can tolerate Madness, for example).
Even within given genres, there is some music I love and other music I find unpleasant to listen to.
