"Audiophanatik":
Well "Audiophanatik", you won't get any verbal assault from me. As I have long believed that it is any man's (or woman's) right to listen to what he (or she) wants to listen to on his (or her) system, as long it is in the privacy of his (or her) home and in the company of his (or her) family, friends and peers.
So in saying that then, I listen to the following genres. And "MUST" I say, I am still proud to say that I am a bona-fide "A-Goner", and I listen to my genre(s) of choice on a high-end system as well.
And the following genres are:
(01). R&B -- Alisha Keys, Alyiah, TLC, Destiny's Child (and also Beyonce), Bell Biv Devoe (and also Johnny Gill), Patti LaBelle, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, and Luther Vandross
(02). Rap/Hip-Hop -- Bunches of them...... from the guys who started it all -- The Sugar Hill Gang, all the way to what is out today (and that would be 50 Cent). Mainstays are LL Cool J, Tupac, DMX, P Diddy, Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Eminem, Outkast, Trina, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dog.
(03). Classic R&B -- Anything that was recorded on the Stax record label (1960s), Atlantic (Wilson Picket, Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave), and Motown (Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Tempations, Junior Walker and the All Stars, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, The Marveletts, and Stevie Wonder). Might I add that Ike and Tina Turner and Jackie Wilson are to be mentioned in this very group???
(03). Jazz -- Old Style -- Miles Davis, John Contraine, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughn, and Ella Fitzgerald. New Style Jazz includes Kenny G, Bob James, Najee, Grover Washington, Jr., Boney James, David Sanborn, Joe Sample, Wynton Marsalis, Brandon Marsalis, Sade, Stanley Jordan, Al Jerreau and George Benson.
(04). Funk -- Earth Wind and Fire, Parliment, Parliment Funkadelic, Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone, and Rick James.
(05). Rock -- The Police, K.I.S.S, Phil Collins, Prince (and the Revolution), and Elton John. The older and classic rock would include the Beatles.
(06). Blues -- BB King, Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton.
That's about all I can think of right at the moment. I am sure there are a lot of other artists in all of the categories that I have listed that I may/know (that I) have left out. But those are all of the ones I can think of at the moment.
And they are on all three of the main formats...... CDs, Cassettes, and Vinyl.
