I honestly don’t have a favorite genre. I go through phases where I listen to certain things, a lot of times it’s based more on the artist than the type of music. A band I really like has a new EP out so that’s what I’m grooving to.
I’m not saying this to sound special, but I swear, I do not hear genre any more. I think it might be the effect of having all music available all the time with the shuffle function, but I honestly have lost the sense to determine genre.
Here are five songs in a row that played in my headphones today when I was working. here.
You know, I truly cannot think of a single genre of music that I cannot listen to.
If you’re to expand your horizons, I recommend music historian Ted Gioia’s excellent daily recommendations. He also does a terrific Best 100 recordings every year. If you look through his selected articles list, you’ll find some of those best lists. They are very interesting, across many genre (including classical).
@Hannibal – I’m a huge lover of Ralph Vaughan Williams – he composed around the first world war. I think he’s a good place to start – his music is always interesting and beautiful – no real dead spots.
@Lymond I listened to these on the morning walk. I don’t usually listen to anything because it can detract from the experience. But this elevated it. Especially when we got into the park and the winding path led us in and out of sun and shade, past creeks. It was so nice I’m going to add it to our morning ritual. I’ll probably listen to these exact pieces for a few days and then look for others. Thanks!
I can’t say it’s what I care about most right now, but I just heard on the radio G. Love’s Baby Got Sauce, which hit the spot 20 years ago for the sloppy White guy/ laid back/ slouch in chairs with some beers/ genre.
Well…I am with @luigi-vuoto, @hannibal, and @elliecoo as I can listen to ALMOST (all caps there) any genre…it depends on what I am in the mood for…from classical to [I can’t think of a new song that I like but I’m sure there is one that could potentially put me onto a path that doesn’t lead to “Old Man Yells At Clouds”?] possibly A new song?
I’ve always been a hip hop head, but I can’t stand the stuff I used to listen to and I CANNOT stand the crap that is mainstream “rap” today. I still love indie hip hop.
Is 80’s a genre? I am all about the 80’s!
I liked some 2000’s indie music but Win Butler just got #MeToo’d by several victims so now that is all I’ll ever be able to contemplate whilst listening to the following (which ruins it for me):
Everyone here knows that my hands down favorite genre is blues:
SRV & DT – The Things (That) I Used To Do
Listen closely and you’ll hear that his guitar is being fed through a Leslie cabinet, in addition to a bunch of other amps.

@Luigi Vuoto
Couldn’t resist
Big fan of Harold Budd with and without the Cocteau Twins. Robin Guthrie is doing some really nice ambient stuff on his own too.
On the Trail of Grace
probably wont shock anyone here
but i am all thrash
i love all music…..but my core…is all thrash
I get it it, sometimes I just wanna throw myself around the room.
its a hell of a pressure valve tbh
beats murdering people
I’m with Hannibal and Luigi, I like it all. I tend to like “new to me”. Here is Movement 1 by SOFA, just a pretty instrumentl.
@elliecoo, that’s lovely, going on the playlist.
@Lymond Nice DUAN, I really should listen to more classical music. I’m afraid I’m not that knowledgeable about it. Any recs would be appreciated.

Along with Jack Johnson
