How eclectic is your taste in music?

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. 

I like both kinds, Country and Western.
