I like rock, a bit toward the metal side, and classical. But I'm also with a group that plays vintage stuff on ukuleles.

White Stripes? I don't know them, or I may not know them by name.

ETA,

Googled, listened to an NPR interview, well, a part of it, and some not too clean live recordings. They're good, not me, but good. I can see why you like them so much. They have a nice variety, lyrics can be heard.

I'm a classical music/classical crossover fan. Please don't cringe! ;-)> but I love to hear those soaring arias!

dc's are trebles in disguise!!

 Bach to Beatles really, but if you're pinning me down, so to speak, then it'd have to be Pink Floyd, Kinks, Madness, The Who, Nat-King-Cole, Rod Stewart,  ermmmm how's that for starters??

 Ok, just had to add the following: here goes

Blues Brothers sound track, all of it, so that bring Arethra Franklin into the equation!

Sacred choral pieces, Mozart, 'Ave Verum Corpus' and Bruckner, 'Locus Iste'

Les Miserables, esp 'I dreamed  a dream' and 'bring him home'

Fiddler on the roof esp, 'sunrise, sunset'

Classical Composer: Tchaikovsky, esp 'Sleeping Beauty' ballet

that'l do for now lol

Okay, I'll weigh in. If it's music and has words, I'll loisten to it. LOVE classic rock n country (new stuff).
My huswband has me listening to Chemical bros. right now. Going to see Genesis this weekend in LA. I can hardly wait. Love Pink Floyd, especially "The Wall". I know it tells my age but even my teens love it.

I've been enjoying Rod Stewart - The Great American Songbook collection. Who would have thought we would ever hear Rod do the old classics? He's got the voice for it, that's for sure.

I'm terrible about finding new music. I cannot stand to listen to the radio because I am way too impatient if there is a song I don't like. Plus, at 34, I've turned into one of those old people, "is this what passes for music now? sounds like 2 cats humping on a treadmill!".

Mostly I rely on recommendations from friends.

I'm also an NPR junkie, so that doesn't help. But with all the talk of Radiohead's new album I had to throw in OK Computer yesterday and sing Karma Police at the top of my lungs.

When I do listen to music, let's see, what do I have in the car:
Radiohead, Mike Doughty, BMRC, Ani DiFranco, Gang Starr, Ted Leo, AC Newman, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Willie Nelson, Mason Jennings, The Be Good Tanyas.

and, this is my own personal shame that only David (and now you) know:
Counting Crows, August and Everything After. I know it's so lame. It's sheltered suburban girl 'safe-boy' music. But the album is way awesome to sing along with. David hates it so much (and rightfully so) and refuses to let me play it in my car when he's in there (which COMPLETELY violates my rule of 'the driver is in charge of the music!' but I concede on this point because I'm super awesome).

Hardcore? Hardcore is for babies. I'm HOOKCORE!

Well, the past few days have been anomalous. Not only have I skipped past my favorite bands and albums, but I have been leaning towards songs one belts out. So, this week, I have been obsessed with the soundtrack to "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and some random Iggy Pop songs. Although, the Iggy Pop songs aren't really for belting out, more for blasting in the car on the drive home.

However, my favorite bands remain Belle & Sebastian, the Pixies, and The New Pornographers. I discovered these all before I went on a media blackout and cancelled the music magazines. Now, I am a podcast fiend, which is why when I talk about what I'm listening to now with my friends, I sound like those hipsters who cling to an artist because he/she/they is/are undiscovered. Only to have the hipsters revoke my temporary hipster status once they learn that I didn't stop listening to Of Montreal just because of the Outback commercial.

It's nice to know I'm not the only NPR junkie out there.

Anyway, I was raised on classical music, and at some point in high school I switched over to rock. I listen mostly to stuff from the 70's and 80's. (Queen, David Bowie, U2, The Verve) you know, the good stuff!

I gravitate towards the folky, female singer/songwriter stuff: Indigo Girls, Dar Williams, Cheryl Wheeler, Girlyman, Sara Hickman, etc. I also adore Ben Folds.

i listen to a little of everything. my huge music collection is mostly:
Death Metal (and several variants therein, like Symphonic and Folk Metal)
Swing (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and the like)
Techno (DAFT PUNK!, Basshunter, Chemical Bros., BassementJaxx, etc.)
and loads of other random stuff.

plenty of foreign music (who needs to know what the lyrics mean anyways?)

but i'll give anything a listen. and i have an eclectic music collection as it is.

A guy, a hook, and some yarn.

I love music. I'm a contemporary broadway nut, esp. Wicked, Aida, Songs for a New World, etc. I borrow Spanish techno from my spanish teacher... it's pretty cool. I'm also a choir geek, so anything classical and awesome works. Whitacre is my new contemporary classical love. But I'll listen to anything from New Age (enya for my crochet music) to rock.

I am a bit obsessed with Emmylou Harris. She has been the theme music for my twin sister,Mary, and me for a long time now. Last year Mary surprised me by getting us tickets to a concert in Santa Rosa, CA.(where she lives) It was awesome!!! I also love a lot of other music, Quasi, PJ Harvey, Versus, Verbena... I recently got way into Cordero, a bilingual Puerto Rican American band from New York City. They are amazing. My boyfriend and I play in a band called The Flower Rangers. It is all his original punk rock songs. I play bass, he's on guitar. It's a lot of fun! I have found that crochet is great training for playing music. My hands are buff!!!!
mad for crochet!
