Nice Poll Elizabeth. I've read your stuff on this and other forums for a while now. The insights your tastes reveal are in your post too. Here's where I fall on the music listening scale these days:
MOST LISTENING -- Female vocalists -- some Jazz some heavier variant jazz and pop presenations (Sehmeika Copeland, Mary Stallings, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, Holly Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Susan Werner etc.)
SOMTIME LISTENING -- Classic Rock though not Heavy Metal. Queen is about as lound and heavy as it drifts. Lots of old (antique) stuff -- CSN&Y, Beatles, Allman Brothers, occasional bouts with Soutside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Joplin, a new Byrds SACD that I just got, some VERY old Jeffereson Airplane on the odd occasion.
CAN'T DEAL WITH MUSIC -- Let me count the volumes -- never got to deep Indie music but I won't run out of the room, Headbanger stuff will make me run though, Bad country music (there's some good stuff out there and I neglected to put Cowboy Junkies on a preferred list too) and heavily classical won't keep me in my chair either. Baroque (Bach particularly will rivet me on the odd occasion but not with frequency).
Lately I've been listening to the same few songs off the same couple of albums while I auditon cables and equipement in a re-build of my system. Can't wait til its over and I can listen to some other stuff I haven't heard in a while.
