Everyday. I have a music player, or you tube, with headphones on everyday at work. I like a variety but old school R&B/soul/pop and jazz are my favorite. Don't really like a lot of the new stuff on the radio today - can't believe they call some of that music!

Daily. Eagles, John Denver, Billy Joel, Pink, Violent Femmes, Beethoven, Garth Brooks, Anne Murray, Sheryl Crow, Kansas, Rachmaninoff...

All day every day.

I listen to a variety of stuff while at work.

We generally have the radio on at home, generally set to a country station...

I do love old school bands like Metallica, Twisted Sister, Black Sabbath, Skid Row, GnR, Aerosmith etc...

I love older R&B; LL Cool J, R Kelly, Prince, Mary J Blige, Aretha... not so much the newer R&B.

I love SOME rap and hip hop, but not all - I'm picky about the tunes.

I also love power ballads. lol - One of my all time faves is "Dream come True" by Frozen Ghost.

I'm a fan of Adele, and I'm a fan of Ke$ha. I like some tunes by Lady Gaga, and some by Justin Bieber.

I'm a huge fan of music with a latin feel to it... think Despacito. They never fail to get me moving, and I usually listen to that type of stuff when I'm cleaning... I dance with the broom. lol

I also love classical music - mostly because I'm classically trained and used to teach a few musical instruments. I love how complicated it can be, yet beautifully simple at times.

Secret I have never heard of Frozen Ghost. ??? Metallica, Black Sabbath, ACDC rock on my sister.

I'm the same can't live without it. I have it on all the time.

There are so many genres that I like that it is easier to say what I don't like Smile .

Don't like Trad Jazz or a lot of thumping dance 'house' music (unless I were out dancing but i won't be now with FM)

Favourites are singer songwriter, country, Heavy metal, Rock and folk. Soul, some hip hop and rap. 70's is a favourite era. I love James Blunt even though he gets a lot of flack.

Every day, music lifts you up, and speaks to you when you feel down. Chicago, Elton John, Billy Joel, love the 70's tunes. Of course Bee Gees when I am feeling happy, and who doesn't belt out Mamamia in the car when Abba is playing. Smile

I don't get to listen nearly as much as I'd like (can't listen at work). I lean toward the music of my teens - John Denver, Eagles, Bee Gees, James Taylor, Elton John, etc. I also like the older country music (Kristofferson, Willie, Don Williams). Also love Celtic, some classical, some Broadway, a bit of blues and even some of the stuff my 14 year old grandson is into. I generally don't like jazz but there are even exceptions to that.

Love Celtic music. So beautiful. I never cared much for jazz until I went to a out door Jazz concert and fell in love with it. Live music really is the best.

My DH finds it hilarious I know ALL the John Denver, ABBA, and Barry Manilow songs. I can sing them on a dime b/c when my sister was in her gymnastics class my mom would listen to them (on her rockin' 8-track!) in the care while we waited.

I love 80s music, but lately I've been listening to a playlist I got for Christmas, all excerpts from movie soundtracks. It sure takes me down Memory Lane, and the orchestral music is so beautiful. Here are some highlights:

- E.T.
- Back to the Future
- Superman
- That tango scene from Scent of a Woman
- Forrest Gump
- Star Trek
- Ghostbusters
- The Pink Panther

More often now that I've re-arranged the stereo set up in the living room!
I'm very happy to be able to listen more easily...mostly jazz, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Stan Getz, etc., etc. Throw in some Crowded House (underrated band!), Indigo Girls, rockabilly, and other modern esoteric things like French jazzy stuff...Any YES I sing along a lot!

Cover I am not a good singer but I to love to sing. Mostly when I am driving. I crank it up and go.

Is it tremendously nerdy that I listen to Weird Al to get me out of a funk? Nothing like a little "Amish Paradise" to get back into your groove! Blum 3

I’ve been listening to Grizzly Bear a lot lately. The latest album is SO good.

Other favorites lately: Little Dragon, Animal Collective, Glass Animals, Mac DeMarco, and Zero 7.

Aside from indie music, I love jazz, R&B, and hip hop.

Music in our home is a daily thing.

I listen to music everyday. I listen to everything, as long as it's good music. Nothing current. YouTube is the best thing since sliced bread.

I hate music, I can't stand it, it's a noise hurting my ears and should never be played }:) }:)

got ya all lol

Always listening to the radio, a station that plays allot of music, I'm not really into a style, when ever it's nice I down load it and listen to it in my car when hitting a long road to the farm... my music taste depends all on my mood,
