When I was very young, I played piano. And those early lessons were filled with Classical pieces. So this gave me a predisposition towards Classical, in particular are the "rowdy" composers like Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.

In my late teens and early twenties, when I was first building speakers, I listened to a lot of Yes, Pink Floyd and Genesis. I also like Peter Gabriel, Gentle Giant and the Moody Blues. Those show my Classical roots, and I've liked these guys since way back when.

I've also gotten to like some of the Big Band sound. I think it was old WWII movies and that kind of nastalgia that made me enjoy this kind of music. Maybe it is because it sort of goes with horns, I don't know. But Glenn Miller is really great for certain moods, and I love New Years dances with a Big Band theme.

And then there's "5:00pm traffic music" like Tool, Limp Bizkit, Nine Inch Nails and the like. Kraftwork could sort of fit into this in a sideways sort of way, bit I haven't really listened to them since "Radioactivity" was put to vinyl, about 25 years ago.

So those are the sort of things that are running around inside my amplifiers here. So that's my lineup of tunes. Who's next?
