I don t really have a favorite,my taste in music is wide and varied from classical to hard rock.  The only kind of music I don t like is Rap. I do have a large collection of Olides []
 
 Favorite Christmas music is TransSiberian Orchestra, and Manheim Steamroller.

Like many of you, I enjoy a variety of music as well.  I will listen to everything from country to soft rock, to rock, to pop....  Lately, I ve been into a lot of 80 s tunes.  There s one station here that plays them on the radio and I listen to it all the time.
 
 Among some of the CD s I have.....
 The Dixie Chicks, Alabama, Brooks and Dunn, Dance hits from the 80 s (love that one....hehe), Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Celine Dion (I love her voice), and Bob Seger (I like him a lot too).  I do like some hard rock, but I don t have a favorite band....just particular songs that I like and I have a variety of those recorded as well.
 
 I DO prefer music that has words, so that leaves out Classical and most Jazz type music.. and I CAN T STAND Rap....... Yuchhhhhhhhh!!

bikolee, Just say no to Rap. Shania, Faith are more for the looks, also I remember when The Dixie Chicks were playing on the street in Deep Ellum(Dallas).That was before they have the lead singer they have now.
 I personally like local bands and not alot of the manufactured music you here on the radio. Oh I go to Luckenbach every year to hear some great music.

My favorite is Rock - hard Rock, soft Rock, Metal - any kind, old or new.  There s some really good new stuff out there now - Nickleback is every bit as good  (even better than some)  as the stuff I listened to as a teen.  Geez, am I ever going to grow up?!  
 I also like country, old and new (DH and I graduated from a small High School with Wade Hayes, so I gotta like Country!), but must agree that I can live without Shania and Faith Hill.
 No cRap music, though.  That s about the only thing I m not a big fan of...

Top 40, Bluegrass, Classical, Pop, Disco, Old Rap, Celtic, I have been told I have very messed up music taste.

No favorite type of music here.  Like to listen to a bit of everything.  Different moods/different music.   My 2 favorite artists are James Taylor and Rod Stewart.  Oh, also gotta include Dinah Washington in my favorites list.  DH is a serious Rush fan.

Not in any specific order...
 
 Dixie Chicks
 Lyell Lovett
 Toby Keith
 Beatles
 Paul Simon
 Harry Nillson
 Bare Naked Ladies
 Red Hot Chili Peppers
 " O Brother where art thou"  soundtrack
 Garth Brooks
 
 DW would omit the Red Hot Chili Peppers and add Cat Stevens... but otherwise the list would be the same. These are the artists  whos CDs get played most often

 Doug and the Slugs
 Rolling Stones
 Don Maclean
 Bette Midler
 Ann Murray
 Rush
 Ozzy Osbourn
 Ella Fitzgerald
 The Toronto Symphony Orchestra
 Manhatten Transfer
 Canada Brass Quartet
 Patsy Cline played by Gail Bliss
 Circus Du Soleil
 Countless Local Talent
 and Barney Live
 
 My dh s favourite music would be David Wilcox, Stompin Tom Connors and The Dixie Chic s

Have to admit for the most part I m a classic rock fan, Genisis, Stones, Doug and the Slugs( they put on a great live show), Rod Stewart, even Elton John. I also like the blues and am partial to Robert Cray and Etta James among others.

[The Eagle and the Hawk]

Sprintcar39 you just like to listen to the pretty ones .huh. Personally i like all music except rap and hip hop. My speakers can t take the hummph hummph of the bass sounds. But some of them are even ok.  I like to listen to my scanner when i drive also and the wife and kids hate to listen to it . and i also like to listen to talk radio sometimes.  So i guess it s a trade off.

 NO RAP!
