Do liberals and progressives like rock, country or rap music?

47. Sorry, it's opera for me.

And a lot of other classical music, from all periods. Bach is awesome! So is Mozart, especially his operas. Twentieth century stuff is my favorite. "Sit still and take your dissonances like a man." as Charles Ives said to a guy in Boston Symphony Hall during a Bartok performance. No doubt it was "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste." Or something similar. One of my faves.

I like some jazz, mostly 40's and 50's stuff. Benny Goodman big band, his Carnegie Hall concert is fucking awesome! "Sing, Sing, Sing!" Bill Evans. Some Monk. MJQ. Mostly mainstream stuff, but early Miles is great, especially "Kind of Blue".

There's some old rock I can tolerate, but not much. The new stuff I just don't grok. And rap (and similar) is just some dude yelling at me. I despise Elvis, but old Motown is okee-dokee. Patsy Cline was cool, too, although not a big country fan.

Mostly I listen to classical and opera.

Sorry.
