You like Jazz the best, don't you? Indian music too maybe?
I always liked art rock best. It is rock, but it is relatively complicated and energetic. It has heavy classical influence. Yes, Genesis and Gentle Giant are examples. But I have heard everything that each of them has done about two zillion times, so I've branched out into other types of music. Actually started doing that over a decade ago. Sometimes, I like to listen to 40's and 50's music, just for fun. It doesn't inspire me like the music favorites of my youth, but it is fun to listen to.
And on that "fun" theme, sometimes I like to listen to the very music I once turned my nose up at for being too simplistic. Stuff from the Talking Heads is a good example. But don't get the movie David Byrne did - True Stories - hoping it will be "fun". It is unbelievably stupid. Kinda fun to watch an early performance of John Goodman in it though. I can't remember if it predates "Roseanne" or not, but it's from back then - in the mid-80's.
Why is it that all movies made by musicians are incredibly stupid? Remember the Monkee's "Head"? And they were even actors before musicians and the movie was still way stupid. How 'bout the Madonna movies? Prince's "Purple Rain"? Or "Glitter" by Mariah Carey? Do you know of any movies made by musicians that were any good? Could this post have possibly rambled any more?
