Re: Who likes who ?

Heh, heh.  This survey should be really funny.  

I personally have broad taste.  Actually anything with harmony and 
rhythm suits me, but I'm especially partial to cross-genre music which 
combines elements in a creative way.  I'm a classical music fan of long 
standing, and had a fit for modern jazz/new age music back in the 
eighties.  Generally I like folk and classic rock, though my taste has 
changed from "soft" to "harder" rock over a period of years.  Since 
swing era jazz is back in style, I've been checking that out lately, and 
found some things I like.  I enjoy bluegrass country (is that jazz 
based?).  Haven't decided about rock 'n' roll country.  Sometimes like 
alternative.

I'm least likely to enjoy noisy opera, classical music before they 
discovered chords, random improvisational jazz, crying-in-your-beer 
country, chaotic heavy metal, repetitive mechanical backing tracks.  
<sigh>

I've got some really killer classical stuff.  Wanna hear about that?
