title says it all

(Note: I don't personally care if the music contains "explicit" content... but others here might, so if you're gonna post such music, please post a content warning with it and sanitise any links, thanks.)

I don't listen to a *lot* of music, but when I do, I tend to go for easy listening...normally from Jamendo.com because I'm cheap like that. I did find an artist there I really enjoyed, Pianochocolate.

All, though I try to avoid Country.
I like different more then common place.
"Fun" is fun. (/Fun/ is one of my music directories.)
More instrumental oriented rather then vocal.
Though a person with a really good (or different) voice is good too.
I don't find much of value in "today's" music.

If I picked a group, it would be Jethro Tull, but that's more of a what is your favorite color kind of deal.

Otherwise I'm apt to listen to anything.
Hard metal (that being thrash, screamer or similar) I've only recently come to listen to - sometimes.
Classical, mostly in the car, cause my windows are almost always open & it's the easiest to actually hear without having the radio blasting.
Country I just don't want to get into.
Not much of a Jazz person.

Variety.
From chants to "chipmunk".

Link please (broken if needed per OP)? I'm sure I won't get anywhere just searching that.

+1 (to note: I didn't think that 7 years ago...)


Personally I listen to some of everything that's not country or modern "mainstream", but I'm *very* picky about classical music and soft rock (and lately jazz, too - just can't get into this "modern jazz" that sounds to me like total randomness and/or totally "dead"/"flat").

Lately, mostly into house music myself, not the mainstream stuff you hear around these days :roll: but e.g. artists like Roald Velden and also the collaborations of Kaskade & deadmau5.

And I see you've seen Tunes @ mozillazine (requires login).
You can get an idea of some of the odd things I'll listen to by starting there & seeing what I've posted previously. (Until recently I'd been posting about 1 a day, from whatever period I started, so start at the end & page back.)

Yep :)
(In fact, while you mention it, I've just updated that post with a couple more similar tunes.)

Judging by what I recognize in that list, sounds... well.. fun ;)
Thanks, that'll keep me going for a while :)
