What type of music do most gatherers listen to?

In the car, I listen exclusively to 89.3 - The Current, which is Minnesota Public Radio's "new music" station. It plays EVERYTHING - from Johnny Cash to the Replacements to Atmosphere. It covers all genres- rock, punk, folk, bluegrass, country, swing, easy-listening. The DJs are great - the live sessions are great - it's just a GREAT station (for which I upped my contribution to MPR significantly!).

At home (where I don't get good reception for 89.3), I listen to stuff from my CD collection. I'm partial to female singer/songwriters (which my ex-husband called "screaming bitches"). But I've got all kinds of other crazy stuff mixed in, too. I like VARIETY!!!!

"Me and my Bobby McGee"

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose.

Iteresting lyrics. Powerful words.

"sreaming bitches"! Love it!

I run the gamut from classic rock - Janis, Fleetwood Mac, Journey - to classical - Mozart, Chopin - to my baby Sting to Native American flute and Tibetan music. The only things I don't listen to are rap and female opera singers. I can take the male tenors but not female sopranos.

Lately I like a combination -- we have a 3-disc player, so I'll throw in John Flynn, Johnsmith, and John Prine and then just sing my lungs out along with them while I get some work done. (Notice how they all have the same first name? Isn't that cool?)

Being older, I'm not ashamed to say I'm still stuck in the '50s. Whether it's Internet radio, our local station or a CD, that's what I enjoy.

I love music in all genres but rock would be of primary interest to me. I'm a music freak and have thousands of CDs.

Generally I don't listen to traditional radio for music any more. I'm an internet radio person and I pretty much listen to my own music any way. My husband and I used to have our own internet radio station as a hobby. We're two old radio types who like to kind of dabble still I suppose.

My favorite radio station online would be Radio Paradise. Great programming and seems targeted to people like me. I'm an old college radio type myself. Spent the second half of my college time practically living at the student radio station. That's how I learned an appreciation for all types of music.

My favorite artists would include Neil Young, R.E.M., U2, Talking Heads, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Smashing Pumpkins, White Stripes, etc. I couldn't begin to list them all.

All I can say is, I love the internet and the resource it's proved to be for me musically. :-)

There isn't too many things I don't like at the proper time I guess. I think my heart is probably in what is now called classic rock? 60's, 70's, 80's,.......

Now the clincher- I don't own a single CD, and the radio in my truck hasn't worked for ten years probably. I do own several hundred records I never play though.

I listen to almost all genres of music. Everything from classic rock, hairbands of the 80s, country, rap, hip-hop, newer rock is in my play list.
I don't listen to the radio very often as I am not a fan of commercials interupting my music and my car doesn't have XM or Sirius.
Some of the music in my playlist on my computer includes: Linkin Park, Jay-Z, Fort Minor, Bo Bice, Brooks and Dunn, 50 Cent, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, 30 Seconds to Mars, Hinder, Keith Urban, Tori Amos, Black Eyed Peas, Pussycat Dolls, 3 Doors Down, The All-American Rejects, Billy Idol, Alicia Keys, Alanis Morrisette, T.I, The Eagles, INXS, Madonna, Nickleback, Nelly Furtado, Usher, Trace Adkins and much more.

jazz, west african, hip-hop, cabaret, etc.

To be honest I don't really listen to much music anymore, but my music of choice is rhythm and blues, soul music, easy listening, some jazz, what I hear whether I like it or not is rap, hip hop and all the stuff the kids listen to these days, because of my son that has it blaring in the house all the time.

I have three modus of operandi.
I listen to music on my portable MP3 player, and that is loaded with a mix of mostly latin music, a little pop and a little country. It is set to random pick a song from the collection of 120 songs.
Or I turn on the DAB and tune in to a channel called Soft, with 50% danish music and the rest pop and country.
Or I use my regurlar CD player, where I put on what ever I'm in the mood for. The favorite choises at the moment are: KT Tunstall, Dixie Chicks, Shakira (both english and spanish version), Ricky Martin and Juanes.

I have an XM Radio. I also listen to stuff online as well.

I listen to new music in the form of dance, electronica, and chill.

I listen to old music in the form of classic rock and certain 70s and 80s pop. (Right now, I am fascinated with ELO.)

I like some hip-hop anthems, but much of it I find completely boring.

Ahrgg, Steph, don't mention ELO, it makes me feel old, that I know who that is...

I'm another fan of 89.3 The Current .

I listen to it online occasionally, mostly in the car or at home. I will say that it pulled me out of my musical doldrums and opened my ears to a whole bunch of artists/bands that I never would have heard of otherwise. My music collection has grown 200% because of it. I've even made a great group of new friends because of it.

I don't own an i-Pod, but like to do my own mix CD's.

I'm fairly eclectic, but here's a random sample of my CD collection: Atmosphere, Harry Belafonte, Beatles, Belle and Sebastian, Echo and the Bunnymen, Brian Eno, Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, Devotchka, Magnetic Fields, Of Montreal, Miles Davis, Tullycraft, Devo, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash, Paul Robeson, Warren Zevon, Leon Redbone, Tom Waits, We Are Scientists, Arctic Monkeys, Elvis P. and Elvis C., etc.

And Mona... don't feel old.. I SAW ELO in concert...

I listen to my nanpod a lot since I travel over 100,000 miles a year - it is a lifesaver on noisy airplanes. I am very ecclectic - classical, jazz, swing, blues, Joel, Augillara, Beach Boys, Rod Stewart, Elvis, the old standards, Roger Miller, ...
