How eclectic is your taste in music?


Most, if not all, of my best friends in life have embraced different forms/styles/types of music.  

The music ranged from Jazz to Classical to some Rock and others...even some more classic, early country. 

Do you enjoy various music styles or are you more focused on a type or two?....And how/where does the 
music of this season fit in?  I find Nat Cole doing Mel Torme's  "The Christmas Song" comes very close to nearly everything I love about music. 

And I have gotten over people thinking the title to that song is "Chestnuts Roasting"....I no longer have the urge to burn down their tree...mostly.

@Parker65310- thanks for that. I may get a copy, I'm far less deep on digital than I am on vinyl. I purged about 12,000 record when I moved and did another purge more recently-- largely to make room for, you guessed it-- more records! But, I do have the ability to play an SACD if the compilation you mentioned is available in that medium. For files, I'm rather limited by my DAC to standard Rez. 
Part of it is precisely what some others mentioned- I know there are diehard opera fans, I just found it hard to get my head around, great performances notwithstanding. best,

For me music is literally the soundtrack to life. The pieces that hit me like a ton of bricks and hook me forever always instantly take me back to when I first heard them or had a memorable experience such as when I first heard Mazzy Star - Fade Into You in the flagship Tower Records in NYC (sadly no longer exists) when it first came out or when I saw Trentemoller play live solo on the xylophone Miss You at The Ogden in Denver or when for the very first time ever I  heard Jeff Beck play Cause We Ended As Lovers. I wanted to drop on my knees like I saw god standing in front of me. That was incredibly the first time I had ever heard that song. All I can say is wow. Speaking of which, just the mention of Moby by me yesterday brought me back to him. I find his ambient and his club/rock powerful. His cut Harbour with Sinead O’Connor on 18 & 18 B-sides blows me away every time I hear it and the engineering is excellent. She is such a talented person with a tortured soul. I could keep typing for hours, but there’s what is front of mind for me at this moment.

if it ain't rap or new country, i can dig it at least a bit. there was this old cat named major "mule" holley who had a contrabass voice, he was a string bass player and could sing down low in unison with his instrument, unlike slam stewart who sang an octave higher. it was an almost eerie effect that, when frank sinatra first heard it, made him grin ear to ear.
