What music speaks to your soul (brain, heart, loins)? Aka evoking emotion. Good or bad. Talk to me...
Bad, as in "good"
saw king crimson last year what an ending to that show like double wow
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.
Metal is my go to energy source but I enjoy lots of music!
@Katastrophe1969 two that show up in my play list with some regularity: Killswitch Engage
@Katastrophe1969 had heard of them but hadn't listened to them recently. It was fun to listen for a bit. Thanks for the reminder!
Jazz. Especially Thelonious Monk. This is just about perfect:
jazz is so perfect. LOVE LOVE LOVE jazz, especially on vinyl. Monk is amazing!
Indeed, jazz is it for me, too. Also soul and funk.
@mrcharlie65 There is something about jazz that really suits vinyl... even though the music is "set in stone" as it were while being recorded, it seems to somehow absorb the crackle and hiss and incorporate it into the rhythm. A friend of mine has a first imprint of Kind Of Blue which he bought for the not-exactly-princely sum of £5 - as you can imagine, for such an otherwise collectible record to be so cheap it looks like a cat has been ice skating on it - but it's a very interesting listen, almost like an alternative version.
Blues,southern rock and grunge (Alice in Chains, Soundgarten and Nirvana-all good
I dissect just about everything i listen to in terms of music theory. 50s rockabilly, 60s surf, 70s powerpop and punk, 80s new wave.
Here's one that i would classify as power pop, though they were actually part of the late 70s New York CBGB's / Max's scene. Just a straightforward rock n roll song but with a sense of cool you don't hear in too much new music.
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.

I'm cheesy AF. Blues,rockabilly, anything Irish,some pop and some classical.
@Katastrophe1969 I looooooove Flogging Molly.
