Music preferences

[therailnut]

I am jamming to anything Metal to Alternative Rock. I hate hip hop and R&B.

It has to be Elton John, for me.

Hey this poll isnt fair,...
Its too limited.
I listen to everything from Beethovan to Black Flag, so its not fair to ask me to single out one over the others

I listen to anything that interests me and that ranges from Phillip Glass to Johnny Cash.

I Love Classical Music, Bach, Beethovan, Motzart, Haydn, Debussy, Mendolssohn.
I Love Punk Rock, Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag, The Ramones.
I Love Rock, KISS, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Beatles, ZZ Top.
I REALLY love Jazz, Duke Ellington, John Coltrain, Miles Davis,
I REALLY Love Swing: Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Glen Miller,
I REALLY love Blues, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, BB King,

I even like County....REAL folk country, Hank Williams, Johhny Cash, Willey Nelson, not that new wave Nashville Big Business **** dribble thats been polluting the airwaves for the last 30 years....

I love going to the Opera, I live in a city with a very good company and they put on some terrific shows, I've seen Mozarts "Magic Flute" twice now, got to see Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" and Moazart's " The Marraige of Figaro" back to back with the same cast so the story was seamless. Seen John Adams "Nixon in China" and a bunch others.

So My tastes unfortunatly dont fit into a neat little poll, it far too limiting and life is far to short to listen to bad Country and Western or to Brittany Spears dribble.

I voted for Country (proper-it hasn't been Country&Western for 40 years or more- as someone above mentioned Western would apply to Sons of the Pioneers and other such music) because that's what I usually have on in my vehicle. In truth, if I listen to anything while I'm working on the layout it's usually a scanner with both police and prototype railroad frequencies programmed into it.

Lococmotion, Last Train to Clarksville, She'll be Comin' Around the Mountain, BTW, music doesn't taste unless it's so awful you puke. BLUEGRASS RULES!!! FRED

I put "other"--my tastes tend towards older punk, indie, gothic & industrial, as well as a strong taste for experimental noise. My main competition for layout space in my railroad room (formerly known as the garage) is musical equipment for my noise-rock band UBERKUNST.

I had to put other, because it changes with my moods...sometimes its Sinatra, or maybe if feel like modern country, like Toby Keith, or I may digress to a favorite old Louis Jordan CD(jazz) or George Benson,the Rolling Stones, AL Green, Glenn Miller, Hootie & the blowfish, Joe Jackson, Jimmy Buffett or just plain old "mountain Music". My musical tastes swerve like a drunk on the highway.

Thanks for asking about both kinds of music. Country AND Western,
Must be a Riders in the Sky fan! They might be better known for some music from Toy Story movie. Be sure to drink upstream from the herd!![:D]

Not directly on point, but I am curious as to what types of music is the choice of a modern or not so modern model RR engineer? I spend long hours building and jamming.
