Hmmm

Old metal
Hard rock

Seriously though - anything from Judas Priest to Motorhead and all points in between. With maybe some Hard Rock for quiet days.

(edit - maybe some Goth rock)

Easier to say what I would not listen to: Lawrence Whelk, Noise music, Musak. But I suppose it would have to be jazz, funk, and good acapella (nothing better than a bass singer being a bass!) Wait, but that leaves out my favorite 60’s music. How could I live in a world without Hendrix?

Yeah, @howard–I’ve been listening to XTC’s tribute to the late 60s, the Dukes of Stratosphere, again, and it’s great. I liked the Church (but got sick of that one hit “Under the Milky Way” real fast) on LPs prior to their breakthrough, as in the extended songs on “The Blurred Crusade.” This is a fun mindgame. I realized I got most of the inspirations that the Dukes took correct long before I found this list. Plus one of my all-time fave producers, the prolific John Leckie, manned the soundboard as he regularly did for XTC…

  1. “120 Minutes” which, to me, covers the 80s & 90s dark/alt/grunge
  2. R&B, including hip-hop and rap
  3. Start a mix on YouTube Music with Bill Withers “Lovely Day” and anything that comes up over the next 5 hours

120 Minutes was so good it almost makes up for them inventing Reality TV in the same era :slight_smile:
