The Blues. Really low-down, dirty-grinding, make you wanna get sexy with somebody, Blues.

I'm cheesy AF. Blues,rockabilly, anything Irish,some pop and some classical.

Jazz. Especially Thelonious Monk. This is just about perfect:

Blues,southern rock and grunge (Alice in Chains, Soundgarten and Nirvana-all good

Wow, how about Grateful dead Eyes of the World from Winterlan 10/19/74. Awaken from Yes' Going for the One. Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, King Crimson's Lizard, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis, John Coltrane Africa Brass, Anything by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, a live opus from the Cowboy Junkies such as 32-20 blues, Lay it Down, Blue Guitar, dragging Hooks, etc. A classic Willie Nelson song like Buddy or Crazy. I could go on and on and on. Music is a huge part of my life. I have over 1200 lps that I keep adding to, have crazy Spotify playlists that amuse me to no ends( feel free to follow me at CF Daniels).

Metal is my go to energy source but I enjoy lots of music!

Throat singers..like Huur Huun Tur..awesome it rattles my bones..and it ain't metal..which can rattle me too..

I like many music genres; bluegrass, rock, pop, jazz, classic, K-pop, Thai pop, Thai traditional, Latin pop, Caribbean, Reggae, rap, African, R&B, Cuban salsa, etc. Luckily, I can listen to it all on accuradio.com, which streams music in multiple genres, and you can even make your custom radio channels.

Mainly hip hop, but really any kind of conscious music speaks to me Public Enemy Dead Prez Immortal Technique Brother Ali Aesop Rock Lupe Fiasco KRS-One - Boogie Down Productions Talib Kweli & Mos Def - Black Star Killer Mike & El-P - Run The Jewels Lowkey After Hours Jedi Mind Tricks Ras Kass Canibus CunninLinguists Rage Against The Machine Kendrick Lamar J. Cole The Roots Atmosphere Dilated Peoples OutKast Del the Funky Homosapien Locksmith Sage Francis Greydon Square Syqnys Beast 1333

For me, no comment is needed.

My music to relax by might be something like Enigma. When I'm with my friends, we like to dance to Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake or anything to get our blood flowing, even James Brown or Little Richard.

Rock’n’roll

Seductive

Enigma

I dissect just about everything i listen to in terms of music theory. 50s rockabilly, 60s surf, 70s powerpop and punk, 80s new wave.

Chopin piano solos of all kinds. Puts me in another place. I love that a human could make such a beautiful thing, and that another human can play it and bring the person who wrote it back into this reality. Other classical piano as well. I also love good old rock and roll. Just makes me happy. Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Bob Seger, LEON RUSSELL. Most real music moves me.

I am a progressive rock musician. So Yes, Genesis, The Moody Blues, Rush, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Beatles..the list goes on and on.....

Emotion? For restless longing try this. Here's the best sung version imo of Rachmaninov's Vocalise. Many instrumental versions are also fantastic as well.

Usually it's classical music. Beethoven's Ninth is the pinnacle, but I find others as well. Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky have written pieces which absolutely transfigure me. Now that I've said that, some country songs reach down into my being as well. "Where've You Been" by Kathy Mattea is one, but there are others.

I'm not sure that I have a genre - but I have albums that when I first hear them they fill a hole in my heart that I didn't realise was there. Just two examples - Iron and Wine "The Creek Drank the Cradle"; Gillian Welch "The Harrow and the Harvest."

I love listening to tunes by the rat pack, performed in french...
Duo Guago, Pink Martini and others.

Alanis Morissette and her music really speak to me in mind and heart and soul. She writes and sings from the heart and her own experiences, and I feel like she is someone who would be able to understand and appreciate many things I've thought, experienced and felt. She's also recorded some beautiful love songs, where she also keeps it real.

This a very nice one:

Electro-bossa music, especially if the accent on a beat is particularly heavy, is good at stirring the loins.

Oh, so many choices! Why do you make me choose? A few that are known to evoke emotions for me: Emotional songs about parenting: Harry Chapin "Cat's In The Cradle" and Brandon Rhyder "Freeze Frame Time"; Lamenting love not yet found: The Corrs "Somebody For Someone"; Unselfish love, probably about a young adult child of the writer: Resless Heart "New York (Hold Her Tight)"; Silly and optimistic: Sarah Buxton "Outside My Window"; A ghostly love story: Michael Martin Murphy "Wildfire"; That is a very small cross section of an exceedingly large, eclectic, and ever changing list with elements that may be ephemeral and others that are anything but ephemeral.
