60's and 70's Rock & Roll (no Beatles...please)
Can't stand most CW, but Kenny Rogers isn't bad
The Eagles are NOT Country, in my mind
Contemporary Jazz
40's Big Band
Some Classical
There are a number of other genres I haven't even mentioned
Did I mention that I can't stand most CW?
P.S. Most of the stuff coming out, today, is NOT music...Lady Gag'ya and others don't even write their own material.

Desi is a friend and a patriot, purty damn good musician as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8jr1...

Me dino has a cd soundtrack of the Blade Runner that starred Harrison Ford. It's great.

I'd compare Morricone to Vangelis, regarding their impact and significance in the screen world.

Vangelis composed music for films from "Chariots of Fire", to "Blade Runner", "Conquest of Paradise" among others. In fact "Conquest of Paradise" which centers on Columbus' voyage sponsored by Isabella, Queen of Spain, you watch only for the music.

My musical tastes are varied like most you. Classic Rock, oldies, Country, Classical. I have been listening to a lot of 80's and 90's lately as I spent a considerable amount of time overseas long before internet, iTunes and such were around. I did lots of cassettes and CD's back then, even mini-discs and vinyl which is coming back in a big way. However, being overseas (Europe and Middle East) made it so my music choices were limited at that time. Currently though, Country is on my list as a lot of songs hit certain memories that were a big part of my life back when.

Oh, gosh, you are so lucky. I have his CDs and enjoy listening to them especially when I'm doing housework....helps cleaning go faster. A couple of my favorites are "Big Bad Bill" and "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone."

Good question, and a welcome break from politics. (Let's not make music preference a political issue!) My father was a classical pianist, so I grew up listening to classics. Liszt is my favorite. Also Chopin and Rachmaninoff. My father knew Rachmaninoff personally while he (my father) was a Russian prisoner in WWI and thanks to his piano skills was let out to give concerts. (That's how he was able to escape and make his way back to Hungary across Siberia.)

Other music I like: Patric Hale (Caranza)…Tim Minchin...Rafael Mendez, trumpet virtuoso...John Williams... Sergei Novikov, pianist/composer... Al Stewart, Edith Piaf, Enya, Yanni, Sozra, Tom Lehrer, Willie Bobo, Persian, especially Googoosh. Instrumentals mostly. I skipped the entire rock, hop, pop, bop, heavy metal era. I do like Big Band dance music, jazz, Jimmy Buffett, Latin American (I taught ballroom dancing for 30 years), and more recently the magnificent compositions of Jean-Michel Jarre. Other dramatic pieces like In the Hall of the Mountain King, Bolero, Caravan, Toreador song from Carmen, are very energizing.

A very recent addition to love is the theme music from Anthem. And a top favorite newest discovery are the 13 tracks from Rotem Hecht's compositions as the original sound track for the video game "Soviet Republic"--don't let the title turn you off. Rotem, originally from Israel, is a genius up there with anyone you can name, from any era. His music is on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh9Kj.... He also composes theme music for commercials. Wish I could afford him for my little enterprise.

I'm a hard-core punk rocker, but I also love other genres.

My uncle is a retired professional opera singer, so I grew up around classical. I love Beethoven and Bach.
My mother had the entire Oldies But Goodies compilation, so I love 1950s rock.
I have a passion for old movies, so I love the music of the 1930s and 1940s.

But punk is my life. Has been since I was 10.
Ramones, baby!

Hurray for Leon Redbone. I saw him in concert a few years ago in Stuart, Florida. A unique talent.

Morricone's music had much to with helping Clint Eastwood move on from his aw shucks Rowdy Yates TV character on Rawhide to being a really tough guy in the Italian-made shot in Spain trilogy of A Fistful OF Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Without those soundtracks there's a chance sequels would not have been made from that first flick.
His music even made some other Spaghetti movies a pleasure to watch~~

I prefer the simplicity of Ambient Space Music.
Some would say that this is not really music since, quite often, the pieces seem to lack a melody.
For me, the sound is very relaxing and can be enjoyed while working, planning, designing, relaxing.
Here is the online station that I go to -- just Space Music -- no advertising or interruptions:

I can't either. Most of the artists mentioned in the comments on this post, I have never heard of. Either I have good taste or I am completely out of touch....just kidding. Music is certainly a personal thing.

Somebody said that when first heard of the theme of "Once Upon a Time in the West" she thought angels were singing...

It surely evokes that analogy. One of the most beautiful melodies ever composed .

Tom Waits Station on Pandora

I like much classical music, particularly Haydn's Symphony 94 and Mozart's K 522.

If I'm feeling in need of something uplifting, I'll turn to performances by this fellow:

A friend of mine has called ragtime "America's classical music. Same friend also confesses to liking the sound of the bagpipes. He does not know how to play the pipes, though, and being a gentleman, has never seen a need to learn.

I mostly listen to Rock (Pop, Metal [not death metal], Punk, 80's onward, etc.), but I also wind up listening to Classic Rock, Blues, some Jazz and Classical (especially Ludwig Von's 9th on occasion). Even the occasional movie soundtrack (i.e. Star Wars, LotR) is fun at times. Of course my fiancee has introduced me to Tejano, which is rather similar sounding to Polka, and both of those can be rather up-beat on occasion.

I watched the Beatles on Ed Sullivan when I was in High school. During the 70's 80's & 90"s I was a vinyl junkie. Going to yard sales & auctions & used vinyl stores I accumulated around 5000 albums. In the past couple of years I have sold around 3000 of them. Still play some of them on Technics turntable thru huge Sansui SP9000 speakers with 15 in woofers. My neighbors hate me sometimes. Most recent concert was Eagles Hotel Calif. and Crosby Stills DeJa Vu.
While searching classic gold I found and became educated to other genres/performers. 50's jazz has some great music.

My mother played piano in dance band in the thirties and forties. So I grew up listening to the Big Bands. I like Bunny Berigan, Russ Morgan, The Boswell Sisters, Bix Beiderbecke, and Benny Goodman. Oh, and I like Leon Redbone.

I'm still spinning my albums from the 1970s, classic rock played through my vintage gear and Altec Model 19 speakers. Some say I am stuck in a groove but that is the music I grew up on and still love.

Depends on the mood. Sometimes classical, sometimes 80's, sometimes contemporary pop. Love Pandora.

Dino, what a pleasant surprise!

We have similar taste in music, at least some of it.

I discovered Enya a long time ago and have several of her CDs. I remember when many years ago one of my favorite Thoroughbred, Silver Charm, raced in Dubai in the World Cup. In the post parade as they were leading up the contenders, the music played was Enya's "Memory of Trees". It made it all the more sweet that Silver Charm won the race.

Ennio Morricone is another favorite. His "Once Upon a Time in The West" is a classic, one of the most beautiful melody ever composed. The film is great as well.

And of course Tchaikovsky...

I don't listen to much classical music, except on rare occasion when I'm reading papers and I want music just below the threshold of distracting me. I usually listen to pop music, esp if it has Ayn Rand-like themes. I also like mezcla pop, which switches between English and Spanish, which are my two languages. It is crass, sometimes angry, often misogynistic, but it's good to exercise to. It's really interesting how the ribald lyrics in my second language, Spanish, feel like they go to one part of my brain, but when they're in English they grate on me on a different level. Intellectually they're the same, but I'm a native speaker of English so foul language in English affects me more.

I can listen to The Nutcracker.
Mountain King kinda scary.
Makes me dino quake in me little pink booties.
