I get this question quite a whole lot, and no doubt this goes the same for you as well. This is an often asked question, because we are musical beings, it speaks to our soul, music can even bridge the divide of language, culture, and so much more.

When you know what a person listens to, you feel you get to know more of that individual. Best friends will usually like the same music, and often times, a person’s lifestyle can be indicative of the type of music he or she likes.

But, often, the answer that I give is quite vague, and can irritate an individual…

I simply answer with, “I like good music”. There, that’s it. The most simple answer of all.

Of course, I have a favorite band. I like David Gates and Bread, I’m really old school sometimes.

But, I often listen to a variety of music like classical music, sonatas, operas, full orchestra, pop music, jazz, guitar solos, international music, rap, religious, anything and everything.

I just can’t see myself only listening to one genre, I feel as if you limit yourself, if you stick to one or a few genres of music, you cheat yourself from the beautiful works of our time and time gone by. How could you not love Eric Clapton, Frank Sinatra, or the new artist Akon, even Whitney Houston, and what about Beyonce, or Beethoven, Mozart, there is just too many to mention.

So, when I’m asked, what kind of music do I like, I think responding with “I like good music” is a perfectly good answer. What about you?
