I just barely got started. There's so much out there that I love. The only music I don't like is "filth". Meaning, I don't like the music to be too sexually graphic or bad language, or talking about killing someone, etc.

You are a classy lady :cool:

I am a child of the 80s, right smack dab in the middle of GenX, so I have a soft spot for alternative rock, although as I have mellowed with time, I find that I don't really have a genre any more. I like certain songs from country to rock to musicals to big band and instrumentals. I don't really care for rap or hip hop. And I really don't get house or anything with a redundant thumping over and over.

I went through a country phase for a year or two when I was 18.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band: Fishin' in the dark

This was the song that got me hooked on it then. I still like this song.

When it comes to country I guess I would say that I like it, I just don't listen to it. I listen to Irish Traditional Music which Country has some of it's roots in but I just don't find country compelling enough. I am amazed at some of their lyrics and think they can be incredibly moving. But the music is what drives me most. I think I would listen to it if I actually lived in the country.

This song is like a country song but it's not. It even has a country type video..lol.

Family of the Year - Hero (Official Music Video) - YouTube

When it comes to Rap and Hip Hop, which I played allot when I DJ'd I just don't' relate to it. I don't think it has soul. I enjoy Motown stuff like Smoky Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations etc.. even though that's way before my era.

I hope this isn't a topic derailment, but does anyone find it uplifting to sing to God? Growing up, I remember that a lot of the older folks would sing hymns, or more commonly, the choruses--often while doing household chores. These days, many of our worship songs are simple enough, that I can close my eyes and sing, and sense God enjoying my worship.

I love religious music...I love to listen to our Mormon Tab Choir and other various artist. I especially love hymns when the artist plays on piano only.

Hymns got me through some rough times. I sing them a lot, often by myself. The work I do is extremely dangerous. When it looks like it's going to get serious I usually sing a hymn before and after the task.

Nearer My God to Thee, How Firm a Foundation, Come Thou Fount, A Mighty Fortress, and O Divine Redeemer are my favorites.

Site a doctrinal source saying I need to listen to rush for my salvation and I'll consider it :lol:

We believe in God, The Son, The Holy Ghost. A quorum of three. Rush consists of Alex, Geddy and Neil: a quorum of three.

There is a disturbing lack of Rush in most posters of this thread's playlists.

Repent!!!

MEMO TO MIRKWOOD; I too am old enough to remember Rush Limbaugh's rendition of "I ain't got no home." It was never meant to be pretty--just humorous. :cool:
