That's a long list for me. I have pretty eclectic taste. About the only thing I don't like is RAP. I have nearly 8 thousand tunes in my iTunes collection and many times I just let the player pick songs at random. Just a few of the artists in my collection that I listen to, scrolling down alphabetically on my HD player (by no means complete)
I have everything from Aaron Neville and AC/DC to Yo-Yo Ma and ZZ Top!

The TR250 was restored to a large dose of Counting Crows with some Sidewinders and Steely Dan thrown in. I actually wore out the my "This Desert Life" CD, I remember when CDs came out and everybody said how great they were and they would last forever. I still have cassettes from the 80s, many of my CDs ten years old or so are dead or dying.
Anyhoo, lately have been listening to an 8 disc British Invasion set a friend made for me. My appreciation of popular music is pretty eclectic, but I have not been too excited about much since the turn of the century (approx. 2000) or so, don't know if that is a reflection of getting old or the music, probably a little of both.

While I have a pretty large collection of 60-70's music.
I mostly listen to Pandora radio.
I bounce around among favorite genre stations listed as:
Fleetwood Mac
Grateful dead
Gordon lightfoot
dire straits
Glen Miller
Miles Davis
(who ever (& how ever) picks the genre for these key artist does a good job for my taste.)
lately I've been hooked on Grateful Dead.

I had never been a Grateful Dead fan, probably mostly because I just didn't hear them all that much on the stations I listen to growing up. But not long ago I had received a discount code from HDTracks that included "The Best of the Grateful Dead" so, after listening to a few sample tracks online, I purchased it. It includes 32 of their "greatest hits" remastered in high def .Flac files which I listen to on a Fiio X5 high def player. They kinda grow on you.

Coming back to tunes - My radio is pretty permanently set to the local Jazz station - I find quieter music keeps me slower and more thoughtful - and my favourite, Sunday mights is Big Band - partly because I love the music and partly because as I listen to it I feel a kinship with years and generations of previous people tinkering on cars or whatever while listening to the standards.

When I am working on my little cars (HO now that I had to sell the TR3B due to space restraints), I listen to Dido one day, Vanilla Fudge the next, and then New York Rock & Roll Ensemble. Yesterday it was the Beach Boys, and sometimes it is old radio shows on XM. And like Basil, I sometimes just let the iTunes roll in any random order and see what comes up.
I have to work outside so no radio since I rarely listen to any contemporary music. It's all crap. I have Sirius XM on my Subaru radio and I either listen to classical, 40's Junction, Sinatra channel or, yes, easy listening once in a while when I feel stressed. When I restored my 3rd TD back in 1973-75 (seems like yesterday), while working in my unheated garage and stringing together curse word combinations never heard before, I listened to Elton John's Island Girl, Lyin' Eyes( the Eagles?), and a few others I can't recall.

One minute I'm listening to Deep Purple, and the next minute it's Buckwheat Zydeco, followed by Mannheim Steamroller!
