I just have to ask...

I'd be willing to "annie up" my eclectic taste to yours any day!
I have everything from The Grateful Dead to Bach on mine.
All depends on my mood!

I have anything from Musicals to Rap to 80's hits! I like a little bit of everything, except for Opera music.

Umm, what is an Ipod?

Actually I listen to music the old fashioned way - a few cassettes, CD's and on the radio. Obviously not much of a music fan. Give me a good book anyday.

On mine you would find Vanilla Fudge back-to-back with the Smurf theme.

I like to trade devices with friends just to see what they have. It cracks me up to find a bunch of alternative, screamo, metal core, etc and then in the middle of all that find " When Doves Cry" or something. Which is a great song....

Samuel L. Jackson playing the blues on the Black Snake Moan soundtrack. If you like blues, try out The Black Keys "When The Lights Go Out."

On mine the only thing you won't find is (c)rap - which isn't really music anyway.

One of my guilty pleasures - my dad used to play their albums constantly.

yesterday mine went from pavoratti singing "nessun dorma" to avenged sevenfold's "radiant eclipse" to the velvet underground's "after hours." i knew i was pretty eclectic with my music tastes, but even that combo made me shake my head.

Styx to The Proclaimers to BB King to Transiberian Orchestra to The Cars to The Kinks to Sandi Patti to The Violent Femmes (Freak Magnet is my personal anthem) to Norah Jones.....well, you all get the idea.

In other words, there ain't no telling what you might hear!

I don't own an MP3 player, but I do listen to music, a wide range of music. Artists: A3 (also known as Alabama 3), Amanda Abizaid, Everlast, Zooey Deschanel, Styx, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blue Öyster Cult, Carly Simon, Bob Marly, Johnny Cash . . . I have about 5,000 MP3's ripped legally from my CD collection. I keep them on two portable disk drives. I burn CD's to listen to in my vehicle or at home.

Porky Pig singing "Blue Christmas".

David Allen Cole's "N@##er F@%Ker"

Al Jolson - Sonny Boy

James Cagney -Yankee Doodle Dandy

Mars by Holst to Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo.

I also have a wide range of music I listen to depending on my mood. Beethoven to Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie to Prince. Lots and lots of 50's , 60's and 70's music of all generes. Like Crusty , I have no rap.
I have recently starting keeping all my music on my computer. I do have an MP3 , but I bought a little thing at WalMart that plugs into the cigarette lighter in my car, and you can plug in a flash drive with WAV or MP3 music and it will play it through the radio, and I can take it from car to car very easy. I sometimes spend a lot of time in a car, sometimes a rental and that is where I listen to the music most.
I have even managed to put my tape cassette collection on the PC, and some of my records. Still have a lot of LPs to go though.

I bought a little box from (of all places) Hartland America ( Link ). It comes with Audacity ( which can be downloaded, but they provided a CD)
Plug the tape player into a 2 for 1 splitter cable, one leg goes to amp, the other to the little box. The box connects to the computer via USB.
You have to play the tapes or LPs in real time, then stop , save the file, name it (for each track) and then start over on the next track.
It makes a WAV file that can be played on the pc, but I found couldn't be played on my little flash drive player. So, I then burned them to a cd in audio format, and then ripped them back via Windows Media Player. (thank Heaven for CD-rewritables )
A lot of work, but then I'm retired, and it's cold outside.
Here is the link to the device.

My son has mine borrowed now, and when he gets through I'll start with my LP's

They also have a turntable which connects to a USB port, but I think I like this better- more flexable.

Hmm, I guess "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles is strange in a really long acid trip kind of way.

My playlist is really eclectic too.

I have:

Nickelback, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, Three Doors Down, Metallica,

Nirvana, Ozzy Ozbourne, Guns N Roses, Poison, Eminem, Godsmack,

Slipknot, Insane Clown Posse, Hinder, Matchbox 20, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Seal,

Melissa Etheridge, Sixpence None The Richer, No Doubt, Bush, Bette Midler, Patty Loveless, LeAnn Rimes,

Patsy Cline, Ben E. King, Coldplay, Hootie & The Blowfish, The Fray, Goo Goo Dolls, Train, Dave Matthews,

Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, Edwin McCain, Alanis Morissette, Kid Rock, Alabama, Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Verve,

Trisha Yearwood, Toni Braxton, Three Days Grace, Third Eye Blind, Taylor Swift, Tal Bachman, SWV, Salt N Pepper, TLC,

The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Sophie B. Hawkins, Selena, Jewel, Sarah McLachlin, Sara Evans, Rod Stewart, Righteous Brothers,

I love music.

Cool thanks for the link!

My children have ELO on their iPods. Haha! I was listening to it a couple of years ago and now they are both fans.

I listen to a lot of film scores. One of my favorites is Fried Green Tomatoes by Thomas Newman. (the score, not the soundtrack) It's beautiful.

I had an MP3 player for about 5 minutes...before my son 'borrowed' it...

No ipod, no mp3 player. I am sooooo out of touch.
I do use the media player on the pc, a variety of stuff that cover about 30 years.

everyone's gotta have some project pat!

anyway i'm not going to choose my wierd stuff, just check it out yourself - here is the top tracks i've listened to at my computer for the past 6 months

keep in mind, that also includes the listening habits of anyone that uses my machine.

Classical, jzaa, blues, 60's to 80's rock. But recently uploaded Natasha Beddingfield.

Wow, it sounds like I'm in good company!

Maybe my playlist isn't as strange as I thought. It sounds like your playlists reflect variety and depth. I would expect nothing less from such a progressive group. Great responses!

Have you seen the movie, "Across the Universe"? It is based on the Beatle's music. I am a huge fan of the Beatles...and yeah, the movie is kind of like how you described the song above! LOL!

I might have to check that out, Bella. I love the picture painted in that song, drug induced or not.

blackacre, I was thinking the same thing. I love all my music and have a hard time picking any out to highlight. Maybe the variety is not as unusual as I once thought?

I grew up around people who seemed to pick one genre and stick with it, never knowing what they were missing. I wonder if the variety listed here has to do with growing up in a city known for music? The exposure to the variety perhaps?

I was fortunate to experience jazz, blues, big band music, etc. through being in the band. I also had family who gave me "cool" and different music to enjoy.

I fondly remember enjoying Stevie Wonder's Song in the Key of Life album for the first time. It was realeased in '76; so I was 8 years old. He was/is a storyteller with great rhythm.
