Favorite music type, Jut curious Options

[King Of Beasts]

What is your favorite music choice? I was just curious.

Mine is rock/metal/punk

I went with Rock/Metal/Punk. Though I like other kinds too. I grew up in the 70's and our house was filled with a mix of Mowtown: The Temptations, Four Tops, Smokey Robinson, etc..., and what is now called Classic Rock: Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Peter Frampton, Bob Seger, and I guess Classic Soft Rock, like the Captain and Tennile, Beach Boys, Carly Simon, and the like.

So I have always liked rock. I like Punk too, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Joan Jett. The 80s New Wavish stuff like Blondie, Talking Heads, The Cure, The B52s, Thomas Dolby (She Blinded Me With Science!), and so on. Of course I loved the Hair Bands, and good old fashioned rockers like Van Halen and AC DC. Plus Alternative like R.E.M., Our Lady Peace, Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, and so on. I like Metal if you mean bands like Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Judas Priest and Metallica, but the really hardcore Death Metal stuff does not do anything for me. Being a chick, I am a sucker for ballads of course, and naturally Sarah McLachlan is very high on my list of favorites (I don't think you can be a lesbian and not like Sarah M!)

I like other kinds of music too. I like movie scores, what I consider to be Modern Classical, since they tend to have full orchestras. I loved the soundtracks to the LOTR films, 13th Warrior, Gladiator, and so on. I love E.S. Posthumus, which is sort of movie like music (it is hard to describe).

Then there is what I suppose might be called New Age music like Alkaemy, Dead Can Dance, or Paul Scwhartz, and Kamelot, Lorenna McKennit, which I simply adore.

I am not much for Country or Rap, but there are a few of each I like. I like Faith Hill and Shania Twain. Being from the D, naturally I like Kid Rock (though he's more of a Redneck Rock Rap), and a little bit of Eminem.
