| Music | What kind of music do I like? Fair question. If I am going to review music, you should care to know what I like and what I dislike in order to figure out if my opinion is worth the binary code required to put them on the Internet.
I like a wide variety of music. What I often dislike is messages in the lyrics more than the actual form of the music. That said, here's a sample of well-known groups over the ages that I like (no particular order or groupings):
Boston, Kansas, Yes, Foreigner, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Queen
Corinne Bailey Rae, Norah Jones, Mariah Carey, Sade
Sixpence None The Richer, Sting, Dave Mathews, Creed, Paul Simon
Chuck Berry, Elvis (old stuff), Beatles, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Creedence Clearwater, Fleetwood Mac, America, Chicago, Van Halen, Van Morrison
Bob Seager, Steve Miller, Mellencamp, Hootie, Matchbox 20, Blues Traveler, They Might Be Giants, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jackson Brown
Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, Nicole C. Mullen Yolanda Adams, Christina Aguilera (I know, I know, but she has pipes!)
Lecrae, Tobby Mac, KJ 52, Canton Jones
Audio Adrenaline, Third Day, DC Talk, Casting Crowns, Caedmon's Call
White Heart, Degarmo & Key, Mylon LeFevre
The Benjamin Gate, Rebecca St. James, Superchick, Barlow Girls, Newsboys
Faith Hill, Travis Tritt, et. al.
You can see I am all over the board. If it has a melody, I probably like it. The more thoughtful and smart the lyrics, the more I like it. As I said, most things that turn me off are because of the message, not the form.
