Not into modern day stuff but I am across the board from classical (favourite composer Grieg) to rock n roll and pop. Love the 1930s Big Bands like Ray Noble with singer Al Bowlly and the music of the great American songwriters, the Gershwins, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart and Hammerstein. Swing including Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller and great singers of the 30s and 40s like Billie Holiday and Helen Forrest. Love Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly (my fave), Eddie Cochran, Bobby Darin, Connie Frsncis, Beatles, Dusty Springfield, Carpenters (whom I saw on stage in 1976) and Abba and also the great film musicals from the 1930s to the 1960s, 42nd Street to The Sound of Music, I could go on and on. I can't envisage a world without music, as Abba sang so succinctly in Thank You For The Music, without a song and a dance what are we???

I play many musical instruments, so I can say that I like most all kinds of music, I was also in a music video of one of the top five bands ever.

Classic country or rock

Classic Country for me. Particularly Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard.

Who likes the band Tool?

Southern Rock Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Bros, Marshall Tucker.....

Pop, electronic, folk - as long as melody is king. Mainly English language, but also music from Japan, France, Germany. Lost interest in rock. Only listen to music from the last decade, and by artists (mostly) in their 20's. Seems to be a good rule of thumb that it's not possible to be consistently musically creative with your 'A' grade material beyond the age of 31. Mainly female singers/lyricists, blends better with modern production, also (typically) less mawkish or posturing, sensibilities not anchored in the past. Elliphant could well be my favourite artist of this decade. The new Alicia Edelweiss LP (When I'm enlightened, everything will be better) is v.good.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse is top. Because it's not only music, but it's a way of life and the lyrics always has to tell something

metallica, marilyn manson, dimmu borgir, radiohead, tool, ac/dc, bjork, iron maiden, blizzard game music, dark tranquility, megadeth, the pixies, system of a down to name a few. cannot really express it in a genre.

Blues, jazz, classical music, 60's, 70's and 80's

Just in my Smiths period at this moment. 'Ask' is a great song!

Blues, Led Zeppelin, and more of that.

classical music ...

Jazz and blues...the traditional stuff...

I live and breathe music! It's my profession so I'm open to all kinds of stuff as long as it's not rubbish that emerges from awful shows like X Factor!

Paul's list The only 2 types of music I dislike are Country & Western

For me its GOT to be Old School heavy metal,,,,AC/DC, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Quo,etc etc. Though do like newer rock/metal,,,,Stone Sour,Theory of a Deadman,Slipknot,Rammstein. Only trouble is headbacking kills me neck now ,so i just stand and "boogie" ol (getting oldddddd )
