              Though I don't usually listen to much country music, I recently rediscovered Gary Morris and his hit albums from the 80's: Why Lady Why, Greatest Hits Vol. 2, and Plain Brown Wrapper. These were all ones I had on cassette tapes, so updated to the digital versions and listening to them all again.

                Who's Gary Morris? Is "Why Lady Why" the same song  that Alabama did? Is Gary Morris from Alabama (the group)?

                95% classical, 5% folk.  I inherited a vast collection of over 5000 LPs from someone who was an extreme musicologist.  (He wrote the program notes for many symphony orchestras for extra income.)  Nearly 500 of the records had never been played.  In fact, they are still sealed in the original cellophane sleeves.  The rest are in pristine condition having been played only once.  I'm gradually working my way through the whole collection, but it will be impossible for me to live long enough to ever listen to all of them.  I have no particular favorite; it would be like choosing a favorite child.  Many of the better known classics are duplicates.  For example, there are at least 14 different interpretations of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony by different conductors and orchestras.  I once spent a whole day trying to decide which one I liked best, and it's amazing how different they are from each other.

                  I know what you mean. But one thing I don't like about classical music is reflected by what one composer said: You need to insert a "wake-up" measure every once in awhile to keep the audience awake. These types of gimmicks tend to disrupt the flow of the music. One time you're straining to hear it, and the next you're getting your ears blown out. Some contemporary music does that too. I wish they'd stop it. The musical piece is not intended to be a test of the audio equipment. there are plenty of compositions that do it better; we don't need another one. But one classical piece that gets overlooked a lot and is underrated is "Bolero" by Ravel.

                  Wow - Where to begin? For music in any form has been such a large part of my life and defines certain periods and moments in time. Music for me is like the sense of smell that opens up a carcophony of memories...

                  I'm part of the so called "Baby Boomer Generation" - and yes, we're of that age now (you know, the older ones who seemed oh so out of touch and strange). I feel blessed to have grown up in at a point in time where both technology and music evolved dramatically. I'm 58 years old and have been retired for two years, which gives me plenty of time to devote to my passion of music! 

                  My earlies recollection's are of listening and ENJOYING the music of the Beatles, specifically Sgt. Peppers. LA Woman by the Doors brings back memories from 1971 while living in Palo Alto. Elton Johns Yellow Brick Road. From Classical to Jazz, 80's New Wave, Adult Alt, Classic Rock...You could say that I have a wide spectrum of musical tastes.

                   

                  So here's a short list, followed by what I'm listening to today on my Itunes Playlist - 6 Second Love by Whitney Woerz - my latest.

                    I'm  a baby-boomer too, And i don't recognize most of your list. Some artists but not the songs. As far as "Spooky" by the Atlanta Rhythm Section goes, Did you know that the Atlanta Rhythm Section used to be the Classics IV and they did a better version of Spooky as the Classics IV? Check it out. Maybe one of these days i'll check out those other songs on your list. I like Spooky too; Do you remember a band called Spooky Tooth? I don't remember what they did but I do remember the name. Have a nice one.

                      I don't know how anybody can like ALL of anything except "types". All types (genres) have good and bad. No type has all hits and no duds. I like Christian music too, but even that "type" has has sub-genres. There's also all the secular genres (rock, blues, country, etc.) within that "type". However I can't say that there's a gospel genre within the secular type. And if you can like ALL Christian music, then what's stopping you from like SOME secular music? And if you can like some secular music then why do you exclude it from what music you DO like? Is there something else that you're trying to say here? Is this really not about music at all, but rather something else?
