Jim in Idahos posting down below got me to thinking about my love for some genre's of music. I really enjoy music and was born and raised in the midst of the birth of Rock & Roll and my parents were BIG Country Music fans. My favorite types of music are:
#1: Rock & Roll Golden Oldies #2: Classic Country Western #3: Disco #4: Hawaiian Music
I do so loathe though Hip Hop and Rap music.
What genres do you most enjoy? Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Not at all influenced by patents' preferences but great influences from studying, practicing and performing since a young person. No order of preference or importance - jazz of most types from old to modern, but not any new age or soft jazz tripe; hillbilly/bluegrass/country through about 2000 and a few since then; any serious composers that have stood the test of time from Renaissance through Baroque, Classical, Romantic and early 20th century periods - and a few later ones.
There is other good stuff of interest as well, but above is the fundamental scope.

Plainsman456: That reminds me of the time the VarmintWife bought us front row center orchestra seats for a performance by the original cast of "Phantom Of The Opera"! She had to drag me kicking and moaning to that performance. The acting, the singing and the music were so beautiful and so perfect I actually wept in admiration and appreciation! In fact at the mid-performance break I bought a "cassettte" of the Phantom - I play it on special occasions. Thanks for reminding me of that wonderful opera. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

CCCC: As a young man I would go with several friends each summer to the "Darrington Bluegrass Festival" in Darrington, Washington. Darrington is a tiny "logging town" on the west slope of the Cascade Mountains but the festival was always well attended. It was a great time and I did enjoy the live Bluegrass Music as well.

I can usually find something to like or at least interesting with any music played by real musicians on real instruments. Some of my favorites are:
Jazz except for the Kenny G type stuff. Not a big fan of anything more free form than Bitch’s Brew like Ornette Coleman and whatever John Coltrane got up to in his later years. Old style Country except for some of the Chet Atkins produced stuff with a full orchestra and 25 background singers Bluegrass Rock & Roll Old school funk and R&B Classical/ Baroque Standards and show tunes done by a smallish combo

Classical mostly strings. Most regional Americana, most rock including psychedelic, experimental, some death metal, Avant Garde black metal, garage, old punk, blues, funk, country (only the good stuff, mostly classic), 60s soul and most of the sub-genres included. And yeah rap and hip hop sucks balls. Call me close minded....

I mainly like rock, but than spans to metal in one direction & to classic rock the other. Then some blues, followed by a bit of Bluegrass.
No, or very little country for me.
And, rap ain't music.

I listen to all music, but could never really get into jazz.

REvans57: Interesting your liking the Native American Flute Music - I think I will look that up on the computer here and try to find some to listen to. I don't think I have partaken of that genre? Thanks - I do need to relax a bit as I am being "pulled" to go somewhere and do something! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Same here. About all I listen to.

I'm all over the place. Might be Alice in Chains, Mad Season, Foo Fighters, Rodney Crowell, Robert Plant, Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits, or any others that I may have forgotten at the moment. I also enjoy a lot of modern Christian music by artists like Zach Williams, Mercy Me and dozens of others.
