Let's look at my CD collection:
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Beethoven, Charles Mingus, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, the Smiths, the Pixies, Massive Attack, Bad Religion, the Clash, Public Enemy, Aphex Twin, the Streets, Phillip Glass, David Bowie, Einsturzende Neubauten, Nina Hagen, Die Fantastischen Vier (German hip-hop), Bjork, Shonen Knife, Elvis Presley AND Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Junior Brown, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Nina Simone, a couple of discs of 14th and 15th century madrigals, Frank Sinatra, and a lot more besides...I tend not to restrict myself to a genre. I'll listen to just about anything as long as it's good (or as long as I think it's good, which comes to the same thing). Most of the currently popular music doesn't fall under this heading, though, since it tends to be bland, insipid, soulless garbage...
