What I Listen To
My musical tastes are fairly broad: I like classical (mostly symphonic, brass, and other instrumental works), jazz (especially modern big bands such as the Don Ellis Orchestra, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis band, Stan Kenton and Woody Herman bands, etc.), and so-called "classic" rock (Genesis and Pink Floyd being my favorites). But I find there is some good stuff in almost every genre; I've even heard one or two rap songs that I liked.
