My guilty pleasure is 80s synth-pop songs. Kate Bush and Thomas Dolby were the masters. I also like David Bowie, The Beatles, Tori Amos and Bronski Beat (first album).
I also really like old jazz like Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" and "B*tches Brew" as well as John Coltrane.
Went through a progressive rock phase where I really liked Yes a lot. Don't listen to them much now.
I'm a HUGE Joni Mitchell fan and like everything from Blue onward. Not a huge fan of her first couple albums but they were OK. Court and Spark and Hissing of Summer Lawns are two of my all time favorites. In that same vein, I like Neil Young a lot, both his solo work and his work with CSNY.
For more contemporary artists, I really like Lana Del Rey, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Steven Wilson, R.E.M. (though they broke up), and Ghost.
For classical, Vaughan Williams is my favorite. I love London and The Lark Ascending. Also a big fan of Bach and other really ancient music like Gothic and Renaissance-era.
I'm an amateur music mixer/producer and my tastes are all over the map. I also write some original songs here and there.
Hi!
One more of my favorite songs: "The Star Spangled Banner" by the US. Marine Band. It's at this website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIKUkcNeZfQ If it doesn't work. Do a Google search.
Enjoy and be proud of America!

My wife LOVES Etta James! To be honest, before I met her, I really never knew Etta James' music.
Have you run into Big Mama Thornton or Sister Rosetta Tharpe?
Those were a couple of fun finds online. I used to book a blues guy. Kind of the Stevie Ray Vaughn of New Jersey. If you like the blues, I think you will like these two:
Big Mama Thornton - Hound Dog

Big Mama Thornton performs Ball and Chain with Buddy Guy's Blues Band

1 ReactionI made a YouTube playlist of youngsters who competed on these shows. Always get a kick out of hearing a big voice coming out of small child.
Classical music is a void in my education, and I plan to get familiar with the Masters pretty soon.
Starting with Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart.
