I prefer stuff influenced by jazz. Not opposed to classical though.

When I was a child I used to listen classcial music. Even I like it, specially the powerful one, bombastic and symphonic. Beethoven is the greatest one for me, some of his symphonies or Tchaykovsky. For example 1812 Overture. Some Overtures of Wagner or Verdi, etc....

About Jazz, I didn't listened so much, and I preffer when it is fusion jazz, cos siems to be more organic. If not it's too anarchical for my taste.

I chose classical, but I really enjoy both equally.  I could have easily flipped a coin since I would not be unhappy with either choice.

I listen to more jazz than classical by far but like both.

Classical music is my life blood. I consider The Symphony to be the pinnacle of musical expression.

Not very familiar with these genres, but, in general, I prefer jazz.

Classical. Pure jazz is boring.

I listen to a lot of classical stuff, but I'm much more into the complex/technical/avant-garde jazz composers. I studied musical modes. Classical music is the primary element, but the study of scales and modes after jazz expanded the musical maps forever. What could I be without any blue note?
