Anything with a deep bass usually

I love all types of popular music. Not so keen on Jazz or Classical. It's the words that draw me in so I particularly love country music, soul, and lots of more up to date stuff.

DH doesn't listen to the words at all and is a real jazz buff - his current favourites are people like The Ezra Collective.

I love all kinds of music but I’m not keen on Country & Western.
Classical, especially choral, will always be top of the list 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 love many different types of music, traditional folk, Celtic, music from the 1960's the Beatles, Rolling stones. My favourite group of all time are Queen. I also adore Classical music, Opera and Ballet. As keepingquiet says no need to confine ourselves to one kind of music when there are so many to enjoy!

Why confine myself to one kind of music- there is good music in all kinds.

I listen to anything from classical to pop and all music inbetween.

It is the universal and timeless language we can all share.

C&W..and the 60's music, I love Ricky Van Shelton.

Definitely pop of all kinds, lifts my spirits on a bad day and gets me humming or singing along on a good day.
I like jazz as a background music in a bar or restaurant.
I like some classical music when sitting relaxing.

I love many kinds of music ranging from Portuguese Fado to folk music and much classical music, but if I could only have one composer it would have to be J S Bach, no question. But oh I would miss Mozart and Brittain and many others. I would NOT miss madrigals at all. Have sung all my life, and originally madrigals were interesting and told stories etc but the victorians bowdlerised them and they are now filled with boring Tra la la's which you also have to count or you may show yourself up when you sing one extra one at the end of a boring chorus!Dont mind the occasional tra la la's in G@S, which is another matter. Oh dear, it is like being a child in a sweetie shop trying to choose. How would I choose the artist too? must have Callas and Paul Robeson and those wonderful russian basses. Those crunchy bulgarian folk singers and Dolly Parton. Oh dear will have to stop!
