    I lean toward hip hoppy type stuff for working out, but don't listen to it much otherwise. I have a Broadway musical playlist or Disney playlist for when I am in the mood to sing along alot. I tend to listen to country if I just need a radio station. I like some rock but not the super hard stiff. Anberlin is my favorite band, I just love Stephens voice. I hate most Christmas music unless its instrumental or a big church choir singing.

    Nice! My music is very much all over the place as well. I listen to bluegrass, country, indie, old school rap, classic rock, yada yada yada. But, the music that I can always go back to that I never get tired of is 80's-90's metal. I'm talking Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine, System of the Down, Tool. That kind of junk. They vary in style, but damn was there was some good a*s*s metal. I LOVE Iron Maiden. Damn, are they artists.

    ugh Christmas music! that's a big nope from me too. I do like listening to country when I am driving. Since most of where I live is in the middle of nowhere, it seems fitting. haha

    That is very true. I am very picky about the country. I enjoy women singers mainly, the guys kind of grate on my nerves.

    Its all over the place...if I had to pick a singler person...as an artist, composer and musician... Trent Reznor. What a career...he's like something of a modern Mozart...to me anyway.

    I'm only familiar with his work in NIN, which is rad within itself. But I guess has done music for movies too. He did the music for Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. That is pretty bad *kitten*.

    I dig lots of stuff, but my go-to is 80s hair metal. Ratt, Poison, KISS, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, The Cult, Whitesnake... Fantastic music to grow up with!

    Ohh.. yeah I love me a good ballad while cleaning. I love the Scorpions. They are probably my favorite band of all time. I would love to see them in concert.

    I think music can be like a rabbit hole, for some time I listened to too much different music, then I became wishy washy about what artists I support... Now I go through genre phases

    I feel the rabbit hole thing. For me its more a memory thing though. Sometimes I'll listen to music that I listened to as a teenager (the emo stuff early 2000's ) and I can recognize how bad it is, but I keep listening and going down the rabbit hole, because of nostalgia.

    Sounds nice ;) I didn't knew some of those. Lots of rock genres, like rammstein/nirvana, are actually my guilty pleasures tbh. Or for when I do powerlifting workouts, great boosters!

    80s indie rock. Smiths, Violent Femmes, The Cure is my go to. Work our music is a lot of Johnny Cash or 90s Hip Hop. Around the house it’s 50s music (coasters/Frankie Lymon and the teenagers) or early 60s Temptations or the Four Seasons. It’s all about mood and memories.

    Personally, I never got these people that just use music as a background ambient sort of presence. Does anyone else just listen to music as like a sole activity in itself? Also, anyone else just miss the days of CDs? When you had the tangible product with the artwork...it felt like a more complete package...now its just click and play...it felt more special :(....another thing I can't stand with the modern world.

    When I used to own a car, it was a complete sh!ITBox but it had a CD player but for some reason it didn't play all CD's, there was a select few that were able to play. It was like some sort of game you had to play with the car, you're all like "WILL IT WORK?....YES!" then it was like a treat. Also, someone ripped the antenna off so there was no radio LMAO. Never fixed that car.

    Uh... you're talking to a person who still collects CDs and vinyl. :lol:

    Yes, while I enjoy listening to music as "background", I am more interested in appreciating the genres and dissecting the meaning behind the songs. Even better if it may have dual or ambiguous meaning. :)
