what music do you listen to?

Mostly black metal. Some death metal. Some Crap er, ...rap.

GROWL........

Here's a recent random iPod play list:

Don't Eat The Yellow Snow (Single Version) : Frank Zappa

When I can listen alone I like classical guitar.  There's a CD made by some Canadian orchestra with some great guitarists.  That type of music, above anything else (to my ears), sounds superb if the speakers are capable.  I can't tolerate trying to listen to accoustical guitar on mediocre speakers.

I always liked the old Bob Dylan album Desire for the violin accompaniment throughout each song, and I loved the old John Cougar Mellencamp Lonesome Jubilee that had that kind of strings thing going on.  Something about good strings, especially with rock or rockabilly songs, that sounds good to me.  Now I try to listen to Alison Krauss and Robert Plants'  Raising Sand when my wife isn't around to complain that it's not Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger.  Alison has a beautiful soprano voice that is heart-tugging honest, and she plays the violin too.

But that's at home with my project speakers (I built them and they're "project" speakers because after more than two years I'm still tweaking).  Normally in the car, when my 15 y o daughter isn't with me and insisting on playing radio, I play Gorillaz or Roots or....you understand, it's got a sub. ;)  My car system isn't good enough to give me a complete and full appreciation of the stringed instruments or voices of angels.
