Thanks to Ma, I have an eclectic taste in music....my friends tease me when they say that I am whitest black person they know, as I pretty much sing anything.

I love R&B (old and new school), soft rock, classical, rap, pop, some jazz, rock and roll, opera, dance, old school gospel, anything but punk rock (which Frank naturally LOVES!).

If I had to choose one category though, it would be old/new school R&B.

What are YOUR tastes?

rofl sbg. you are a nut, lol.

ok i also have an odd taste in music. i like some country artists who have that r/b feel like faith hill and the dixie chicks had a somewhat r/b feel on fly which is a great album. now i only listen to 1 faith hill song, lol. oh and shania twain's cd, the one that got all of those awards, i love. i also liked the cd garth brooks did as chris gains.

now i am a child of hip-hop and that is my first love. in fact i was really feelin the movie brown sugar and remembering when i fell in love with hip-hop.

i also love r/b and thats a first love too. old school and new school. my favorite female singer is teena marie. i don't really have a favorite male singer but i loves me some r. kelly, gerald levert, ronnie isley(aka mr big), and a slew of others. i love me some india.arie, erykah badu, jill scott is da freakin bomb, and kindred.

i also get my groove on to some reggae and some gogo music.

and back in the day i listend to rock music. loved queen, kiss, etc. and smooth/soft rock like phil collins, sting, journey. dang now i need to hear some music and vh1 ain't working right now.

Well,I can't seem to drag my butt to Walmart,so I'll join this thread. I'll listen to just about anything,but country. I mean,new country,I can do old country like Tammy Wynette.
Mostly,I listen to alternative,Soundgarden,Stone Temple Pilots,Incubus,stuff like that.
I love old r/b too,anything Motown is good with me.
When I go to sleep I love to listen to the old folks station,crooners from the 40's. Puts me into snoozeland! Drives my husband nuts!

Where do I start? Hmmm ... I like R&B, Soul, Jazz, Gospel, soft rock (Journey, Chicago, Eagles, Police, Sting, Steely Dan), some of the newer crossover country (Faith Hill, Shania), B-52's, Soft Cell, I like Reggae (saw Maxi Priest in an awesome concert). I like contemporary Christian(Michael W.Smith and Jaci Valasques). Hmmm, just about everything, I guess. But I don't like gangsta rap, and I only sorta listen to hip hop.

My first loves musically are Ella Fitzgerald--I have over 200 CDs by her! I think she is fantabulous and even when she gets old or does bad material, I think she is more worthwhile than almost anyone.

Secondly,l I adore Chaka Khan. I am a Chaka-holic. She can be with Rufus or alone, singling funk or jazz or R&B; je m'en futre.

I also love Sinatra before 1968. And Aretha before Sparkle. And Streisand before....something.

I enjoy hillbilly country, like Emmylou Harris and Alison Kraus, but I cannot take the country that is "pop" or feels like it has to wave flags.

I also like Basie, Ellington, Coletrane, Gillespie, Davis (before 68), Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, and Shirley Horn, who is terribly romantic. Brian McKnight is romantic too, and if you add him and some early Prince together, I'm all yours. I also enjoy many of Squared's choices, especially Ms Jill Scott, who will be a significant entertainer for a long long time.

And I raise my hands because I love hip hop.

Well, I grew up on things like Carpenters, Carol King, Simon & Garfunkle, etc. That was thanks to my older sis.

I also grew up on the musicals. Thanks to Mom. Many a day was we did our chores while singing to Sound of Music, Oliver, South Pacific, Camelot, Carousel, Paint Your Wagon, Unsinkable Molly Brown, The King and I, etc.

Thanks to my days in orchestra, and my days in drum corps, I also like classical music. A good dose of 1812 Overature, Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, American In Paris, is always enough to get my blood pumping. Or just relaxing to the Grand Canyon Suite.

I guess my "preferred music" would be considered soft rock. But I love putting on the local jazz station too. But then, if I have a lot of pent up energy I don't know what to do with, a little Pat Benetar will help me release. I'll admit I even owned a Michael Jackson tape at one point.

I think I'm pretty eclectic, too. I love old school R&B (still gets me outta my seat and dancin' in the aisles!). I usually listen to pop in my car (stuff like Chris Isaak or No Doubt). I like country on occasion, but only the new pop-like country. I love jazz, big band, the Motown sound... Almost all sorts except for rap (sorry, Squared!). Last year, in one weekend, I saw Tony Bennett and Gloria Estefan! And I just saw Boz Scaggs this week, and Chris Isaak last month.

Used to hate country, but started to go to country bars to dance. Hated the music but still could dance to the songs. People would laugh at me, cause I really had to count the beats in order to dance, since I really refused to listen to the music. Since then, there are a few artists I really like -- Trisha Yearwood, for example -- and I'll buy their discs.

I try really hard to listen to current music, but I have to admit, I listen to a lot of 80's music. I was a teenager in the 80's. Music played a huge role in my life at that time.

Does anyone else find themselves listening to a lot of music from their youth?
