Normally I listen to classical music. I grew up with it. If not classical, then the old schoolers- Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, etc, some new - Harry Connick Jr, Michael Buble
Sometimes classic rock, or alternative rock, or bands/musicians like Dead Can Dance, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, This Mortal Coil, Collide.
And some days I even love techno and euro-dance.
But I HATE rap, R&B, and 99% of country music. The three of those are like amplified fingers scraping on the chalk board
