  • I'd like to think I have a wide taste in music. Since high school, I've generally described my favorite genres as classical, rap, and metal (with, in mind, that metal would include traditional rock'n'roll, though I think my silly high school self tended to incline towards metal over rock with the eternal exception of Bruce Springsteen).

    From time to time, I'd throw in something like "and occasionally jazz" or the like; admittedly, this was largely because I hadn't listened to much jazz yet. But I find, as the years go on, (perhaps fueled by fascination with that period from WWI to WWII and the Harlem Renaissance) that it's the blues that I actually grow a deeper and deeper appreciation and taste for. It doesn't help that the genre pretty much birthed all of modern music from then on out, sure, but, at the end of the day, I always find myself coming back to and desiring it. I think, when it comes to music, it may be my great Love.
