One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Metal (black, death ,avant-garde, doom), ambient, some darkwave. Yeah, that's pretty much it, kinda closed-minded eh?

When the mood strikes me I can listen to pretty much anything. I can listen to a song only because I love the bass or a certain guitar sound. Thus, I have a varied music collection on vinyl, cassette, video cassette, cd, dvd and mp3. From big band jazz to classical piano to punk to hip hop to spoken word. From mainstream to obscure.
I sometimes listen to Abba, The Bee Gees, Barry Manilow and The Carpenters... mind you I'm pretty much doubled over in laughter.
Sometimes you want to lose yourself in a 20 minute epic, sometimes you want a 20 second blurb. Music is the spice of life, enjoy the flavours.

Most of my non-prog stuff is the exact opposite end of the spectrum...
mid-80's to early 90-'s punk. 3 chords, 2 minutes, verse chorus
verse..makes for a wonderful counterpoint, both in terms of composition
and mentality (cerebral music vs feral music)
All/Descendents...Mr. T Experience...Black Flag...Dead
Kennedeys...Overwhelming Colorfast..Rites of Spring...Dag
Nasty...Husker Du...Bad Brains...Crimpshrine...Operation
Ivy...Jawbreaker...Naked Raygun..
as well as there being a handfull of bands that I am huge marks for
that may or may not be punk, and an argument could be made that
they may or may not be prog related
Faith No More...Sonic Youth...Firehose...Minutemen..Soundgarden...Fugazi...Butthol e Surfers

I like plenty of female vocalists... Aimee Mann, Julia Fordham, Anita Baker, Everything But The Girl, Kirsty MacColl.

If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!
