sometimes at parties people would ask me what music I liked. I'd tell them and that effectively ended the conversation.
I love this post.
Same here. I have an eclectic taste.
I took an ethno-musicology course in college once. It was great being exposed to a wide variety of music. My least favorite would be top 40 or pop music.

Ethno! If nobody is interested in the symphonic stuff I listen to or even less the renaissance stuff, they less than less are interested in the Ethno.
Now, grabbing the slightest pretext with both hands...I was temped to post one of the Ubud performances I was soaking up last May in Bali, but let's do he Javanese version. slower and more aristocratic (they tend to think of the Balinese version as Folksy) but they are both fine in heir own way.
Personally, I listen to a lot of things. But the one genre that I always come back to is classic rock and more rocky blues (George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughan type music)
EDIT:
Upon some further thought, I feel like this is typical atheist talk. We have no god to talk about, and the next closest thing to god is Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Musician's are prophets in my world. Music and Walt Whitman is how I connect to "God".
I tried to find a couple of YT's of Host or VW settings of Whitman, but I only found Holsts' early tribute overture 'Walt Whitman' which is about Schumann really, rather than Whitman.
No Holst setting not surprising, but of course there is the Early VW 'Towards the Unknown region" (Darest thou now, from "Leaves of grass") An early work in a mix of Brahms, Parry, Gounoud, flashes of Wagner, and not too much Characteristic VW. And I can never hear the words with choruses.
It's about equivalent to Holst's Mystic trumpeter (also Whitman I believe) -significant and showing a o of promise and competence, but not showing the Voice as yet

Sorry mate..I always think of the neighbours, and the most I can stand at my age is a CD of Borodin Piano music and a cup of weak tea.
