Well..in popmusic, i mostly listen to 80's bands..because the music that is "hot" right now, man..i can't stand it! I have to play it in the store (when a new cd comes out) and i'm so glad when that disk is finished..trance, techno..doesn't matter, it's all the same 'headache" shit..(and i think i don't have to play it in the store to get the attention for the cd..that crap sells itself! I always play music in the store that needs the attention..if i won't play it, most people won't know it..just a little "spoon-feeding"..and the sheep will follow..damn, i love my job
But, Tori Amos, Kirstin Hersh, Supertramp, Yes, Alan Parson Project,Eurythmics,Lenny Kravitz, Queen, Enigma, Enya, and many others, will do just fine.
Other bands/artists that i like are:
Angelique Kidjo, Izaline Calister, Buena vista Social club, Nina Simone, Simon Philips, Vinnie Colaiuta, Mana, Gino Vanelli...
Jazz, fusion, some latin jazz..and yes, i listen to classic music too
I prefer opera, especially when it's performed by Maria Callas..i just love that woman's voice..she's a real diva!
Ok, enough for now..
