First and foremost, Handel's Messiah. Then Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix. Mozart's Symphony No. 40 and everything else he wrote. Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven. In that order.

Anytime I hear a song that reminds me of being young brings back fond memories.

Some music reminds me of my mother as she loved Frank Sinatra. Her favorite song was, I Did It My Way.

In the early 70's it was all about rock & roll with my girlfriends. Bob Seger, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Eagles and many others. I remember all the fun we would have in our young wild days. Not a care in the world and I miss my girlfriends from long ago.

Tom & I were married to I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. Every time I hear that song I still feel the same love for him, but it's so much stronger now.

My girlfriend Carole, whom is now passed away loved country music and we would go to Garth Brooks concerts. I'm Shameless was her favorite song and we would sing along with Garth totally off key.

I could go on and on about what song reminds me of certain people but I'll stop now so not to bore you any longer.

I love music because there are so many memories attached to it.

I love to listen to music and enjoy many genres, but I can't say that any of it inspires me unless dancing is a product of inspiration.

And then we would call that "The Chicken Dance"?

When traveling we often listen to Elvis on XM. It brings back memories of wife and I dating. We especially like some of his gospel music they play from Graceland on Sunday morning. "Where words fail, music speaks" Hans Christian Anderson

Sure it is...so is playing it, I'd rather do that than dance to it.

Everything from alternative to zydeco...

My DH is also a uke player. Will have to see if he knows this song. He loves to play and sing Jimmy Buffett songs and also writes and composes his own. He is quite the uke musician!

He wrote this song before our granddaughter was born and when he was a new uke player: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffND9USF7_s[/ame]
Here's another original that was an early composition of his: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Dw6AuadquU[/ame]

Jimmy Buffet, Elvis, Zac Brown Band, anything country, Lady Gaga. My tastes in music are very wide.

I do stop at Rap. Cannot stand listening to it for anything more than one second.

I just listened to a bunch of Avett Brothers music on Youtube, what an interesting group, thanks for introducing them. Here is what I found when I googled them.

The Avett Brothers /ˈeɪvɨt/ is a critically acclaimed American band from Concord, North Carolina. The band is made up of two brothers—Scott Avett (banjo) and Seth Avett (guitar)—as well as Bob Crawford (double bass). Joe Kwon (cello), and Mike Marsh (drums) are touring members of the band, with Kwon featured on recordings from 2007's Emotionalism and later.

Following on from Seth and Scott's former rock band Nemo, the Avett Brothers combine bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk, and ragtime to produce a sound described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having the "heavy sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones.

Went to Sarah Brightman concert....didn't get that much out of the visual aspect.
I like music that makes me transcend into the heavenlies of worship.
Sarah's "Classics" dvd will do that,
or a Sunday at my church with contemporary stuff I don't even care for much, but Holy Spirit is there undeniably, without us singing "The old rugged cross"---who knew?
