OT: favorite non-Irish music?

Hi,

This is my first time posting a topic, and it's kind of irrelevant, but oh, well. Pitchfork's recent comment about liking Miles Davis has made me realize what a well-rounded group of people pipers are, so I was just wondering about this.

gotta agree with Pitchfork about whisky and Miles Davis. Throw in Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf and now you're cookin'. oooooooohhhh smokestack lightnin'....

I do like other kinds of traditional music from Europe, Africa, and Asia, but I listen almost exclusively to irish trad. Too much to learn, too little time.

When I was in college about 10 years ago, Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" was that recording that EVERYONE had to have. That and the Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits.

I mostly listen to Jazz, but I like everything, even opera.

I listen to Irish music almost exclusively, but classical music is my next choice. I also like old big band music ala Glenn Miller, etc.

My favorite non-Irish music would be Scottish.

99.9% Irish and Scottish traditional. Mostly Irish because that's what I mostly have CDs of.

I hardly ever listen to recorded Irish music anymore....I guess I get enough doing band work, playing at sessions or just playing at home alone....anyway, I have always preferred it live.

Funnily enough, I often tune into WDVX bluegrass radio on the internet. It used to be broadcast from a trailer ("caravan" in Oz) in Knoxville Tn. but I think they've moved into something a little larger.
One of their announcers used to sound like Dolly Parton on speed..hilarious

Great station, with some great music.

Those are quite the bellows.

Other than Irish, what kind of music do you listen to the most?
