Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4


Lucifer's "ticked off" now, because of all those who chose to keep their music in the previous three threads, he's (she's?) decided to allow all you Music Lovers only ONE genre of music, ie Rock, Pop, Classical, Opera, C/W, Blues-- well, you get the idea. And please no quibbling or weaseling your way into multiple genres. "Big L" knows there are a lot of "cross over" artists, and sup-categories, but you've got to stick to the generally recognized main ones-- or the heat will be turned up.

This (to me) is tough'cuz I like a lot of different types of music, but I'd go with Blues. Good Luck. Craig

Craig, well, "folk" might be closer to the truth, if that includes Iris DeMent and Doc Watson. How about Mary Black? Does Irish count as folk? How about Alison Krauss? Bluegrass count as folk? If I call it Hillbilly music is it folk?

Here's why I say Zydeco if it's a pact with the Devil. The Devil is, well, evil. And if he allows you to pick the genre, he reserves for himself the right to pick the tunes. I love folk music, but there's a lot of bad folk music out there he'd make me listen to. I love rock, but there's a lot of bad rock out there he'd make me listen to. Same with classical.

The difference with Zydeco is, I have never heard a Zydeco performance or recording that didnt have me grinning from ear to ear like the Village Idiot.
