How eclectic is your taste in music?

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.

What I’ve listened to today:

Diesel and Dust - Midnight Oil

Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain - Miles Davis

Live at the Fillmore West - The Allman Brothers Band

Tosca - Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Steffano, La Scala

As an aside, I’ve gotten much more into opera lately since I wound up with $200 store credit at a place that sells complete operas on LP for $0.95 each. They’re kind of a crapshoot as to condition but enough of them are excellent to keep me going back
