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.

I am right there with @sns I listen all day every day and love all but the so called New Country.  Really love the Blues and living in the Chicago area have seen all the greats.

My taste is all over the board. Genres I do not listen to are metal, alternative rock, industrial, classical (I do enjoy OST's), free jazz, rap (except for Run The Jewels). Most everything else is on the menu.

My listening sessions usually begin with '50s-'60s lounge music and muzak, bluegrass, classic country, and hawaiian. Transitioning to indie rock, indie pop, shoegaze, new age, folk, celtic, polka, world music. Finishing with disco, dance, ambient, psychedelic electronic.

I love great artists, I even discover some in heavy metal, a genre i dont favor usually...

Then genre distinction means nothing...

Artists dont member in a genre club, they are only what they are : greeat artist...

 

Christian music or sufi music , heavy metal, rap, nerver mind...

Great souls are great souls...

Tastes are part of ourself, but artists generally overpower our limited habits...

Save if we live in a trancelike habit world....

I just like a great song, sung by a good or better singer, played by a good or better band. Is that too much to ask? ;-)

In the first cubicle of my LP racks are albums by Curtiss A, ABBA, AC/DC, Roy Acuff, Arthur Alexander, Mose Allison, The Alpha Band (T Bone Burnett, David Mansfield, and Steven Soles), Dave & Phil Alvin, Al Anderson (pre- and post-NRBQ), The Animals (before Eric Burton became psychedelicized), Joan Armatrading, Asylum Choir (Marc Benno and Leon Russell), and Mike Auldridge (master dobro player).

Then there are my CD racks.

I am 70 years old and like punk, post-punk, 'indie', intelligent metal, roots and dub reggae, some hard rock, some 'pop' for sure, some hip-hop. I don't dislike classical music as long as it's instrumental. But I don't much care for jazz, country, blues, however great those genres are for people who appreciate them. Just not to my personal taste. No Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Boz Scaggs, and such for me, either.
