I like just about anything if it sounds good.

If I'm looking to relax then I usually listen to smooth jazz sans vocals.

I have "Brown Eyed Girl" stuck in my head today... Oldies are some of the best!

Ive been listening to a Japanese version of a Korean opera or something, Yoongungs Sad Love Story. Interesting, kind of sleepy-time music some with those twangy Asian instruments and some with a modern Western pop style. Not bad for a change.

Very cool! I love Gospel when sung by the right voice, for sure.

Good old Mr.16 Tons sure had the voice for gospel! Another who certainly fit the genre as well was George Beverly Shea. He could belt them out with the best of them! Even into his 80s and 90s, he was still performing and performing good!

Some of those guys hang on until the end. Another was Howard Keel who performed to an advanced age and still sounded good. Another is Eddie Dean, who is close to 90 and still performs. Frank Sinatra wasnt one tho. That last album he made in the 90's was a disaster. He had really lost it.

I can listen to anything to relax...
If I like it, I can fall asleep listening to it...
And I like a little of everything...
And I mean everything!

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Screamo. I love it. It honestly relaxes me. I don't know what it is, but it makes me calm.
