I listen to some punk and um I've actually found a rapper I actually like recently...

Not your stereotypical rapper, he's a 5 1/2 ft white guy with a real high and squeaky voice and his songs are usually about 'nerdy' subjects. One of his songs is about Boba Fett and he has it on his site if u want to hear it http://www.mcchris.com/mp3/MC%20Chris%20-%20Fett%27s%20Vette.mp3 .  Pretty funny stuff.

Yea he does MC Peepants and he's already finished doing a voice for a character for the new season of ATHF and he didnt say who the character was, but I would be suprised if it wasn't MC Peepants.  

Wow, all that in one sentence. I deserve a trophy or something worse.

I listen to country, folk, celtic, classical, jazz, classic rock, etc. etc. I guess that means pretty much anything except what's on the regular radio stations. But that wouldn't be accurate either.  ::)

Favorites--the folk groups/singers I listed in the other thread, which are Cliar, Battlefield Band, Kate Rusby, John McCusker, malinky (yep, lowercase m), and Anne Martin. Anne Martin and Cliar sing in Scottish Gaehlidh (which I can never spell), malinky sings mainly Scottish lowland folk, and John McCusker is a Scot who plays fiddle, flute, and several other instruments I can't remember. He plays both solo and to back up Kate, who sings mainly English folk (I think she's from Yorkshire--somewhere up north in England, at least, which makes her accent really cool), but she also dabbles in anything generally British or Irish, and I've even got her singing an American song on one cd.

Other favorites, Alison Kraus, Paul Simon (both with Garfunkel and without), Credence Clearwater Revival, Beach Boys (if I'm in a nostalgic mood--reminds me of high school), John Michael Montgomery, Pam Tillis, Clint Black, Dixie Chicks, John Denver, Harry Connick Jr., Natalie Cole, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong, Billie Holiday...

I love old jazz and big band (I play trumpet, played trombone, mellophone, and French horn in high school, so I love playing them--have this great brass band cd I just got that plays all the marches we used to play in band, and some I never had the skill for, like Flight of the Bumblebee.)

I listen to everything except modern country and "diet" radio (you know any station that describes itself as "light" or "smooth" or whathaveyou -- usually playing Lionel Richie or Barry Manilow).

My four favorite performers are still (in no particular order) Rush, The Kinks, Matthew Sweet, and They Might Be Giants. But people like Andres Segovia and Joe Satriani come darn close. I'm also very taken by Béla Fleck, Harry Connick (and I don't know why!), and any other amazing musician. Obviously my two favorite genres are ten year old Alternative and art rock, but I've got my fingers in everything from the muppets, to show tunes, to jazz fusion, to folk. I'd say my own music is probably most influenced by Bob Dylan and accoustc Eric Clapton, but with a pop sensibility. though I'm not claiming to be within a billion light years of their talent for either songwriting or performing.

At home I listen to whatever children's CD my daughter is listening to. In the car I listen to metal and rock (currently Linkin Park and Foo Fighters). At work I listen to internet radio, which I tune almost exclusively to European techno; mostly Ambient, but some House.

Wow, we really have a range of musical appreciation here. I was talking to 42 a couple years ago before I left Provo and he was saying how much he loved stuff like the soundtrack to the Nightmare before Christmas. Before that, I never really thought about people my own age listening to stuff outside the spectrum of what you could hear on the radio (though even then I had cd wallets full of stuff that couldn't be found on the radio).

I, too, love the Muppets. My favorite Christmas cd that I have is John Denver and the Muppets--hilarious. I usually have my radio tuned to the classic rock station, but since I don't have cds of my favorite songs, I can't remember the names of the singers. I'm notorious for that. But oh--I will add Van Morrison to my list. And Cat Stevens.
