My favorite genre by far is instrumental hip-hop. Jazz and funk are pretty high up on my list. Funk recently has taken a pretty close place in my heart haha. What about you?
One of my hobbies is listening to music in general but I get special satisfaction from finding great stuff that is super obscure. Any genre except not usually pop. And I love hip-hop, funk and jazz. Something like this stuff: 1970s Soviet Funk Jazz. I would ad to that list this from the same genre. And as you may guess my other hobby/passion is learning about things, especially historical things. So I can go deep just because. When I look back it was scary how much I knew about musical history when I was 25. Alas, I am sure I have forgotten most of it. Also, if you want check out my latest post which is probably the one and only gospel song I have ever loved. Well, that is not entirely true. I also really like The Doobie Brother's Jesus is just Alright and I suppose ZZ Top's Jesus just left Chicago is gospel too!
I kind of love everything. Regardless of genre, if it's good I probably like it. I have season tickets to the opera, frequent jazz bars, I love all kinds of rock bands, but really, I listen to just about everything. Good is good, regardless of the style of good.
