Rock'n'Roll, all of it from the Beatles to Pink! I started my musical listening 'career' in Jr. and Senior High. I came of Age in the '70's so the progression went something like: Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Bread, Cat Stevens, Elton John, Chicago, Gary Wright, Wild Cherry, The Bellamy Brothers, Bay City Rollers, England Dan & John Ford Coley, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Carly Simon, Sonny and Cher, Jimi Hendrix, Canned Heat, Jefferson Airplane and Starship, Deep Purple, Santana, Dr. Hook, Steppenwolf, Starland Vocal Band, Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, Ohio Players, Hall & Oates, Abba, Bee Gees, Queen, Steely Dan, The Who, The Stones, Yes, Doobie Brothers, Al Stewart, Grateful Dead, Grand Funk, Eagles, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, ELO, The Temptations, Alan Parsons Project, Stevie Wonder, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, U2, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Boz Scaggs, Cars, Meatloaf, The Go Gos, Guns 'n' Roses, Lita Ford, Def Lepard, Diesil, Depechemode, Souixie and the Banshees, Nina Hagen, Mike and the Mechanics, Big Country, The Fixx, Eurythmics, Genisis, The Police, Prince, Blondie, Molly Hatchet, Lamont Cranston, Culture Club, Stevie Nicks, Wings, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Human League, Culture Club, Boiled in Lead, Dead Can Dance, Loreena McKinnett, Clannad, Enya, Marie Brennan, Annie Lennox, Definition FX, Sting, Spin Doctors, Toto, Swing Out Sister, Everything But the Girl, Stray Cats, Suzanne Vega, Wang Chung, Fine Young Cannibals, Edie Brickell, Tracy Chapman, Cats Laughing, Flash Girls, Lojo Russo, Nirvana, Wilson Philips, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Simply Red, God Smack, Moby, Chumbawamba, Hootie and the Blow Fish, Cranberries, The Breeders, Soul Coughing, Six Pence None The Richer, Lifehouse, Nickleback, Wendy Rule, Gaia Consort and Gaia (Stace) who I just discovered here on MySpace.

In the late 80's just before I began developing my Gaian Philosophy I was introduced to Worldbeat (see below) and explored the local music scene and my musical taste diversified dramatically. I jumped outside Rock and Roll into a variety of genres.

Jazz and the Blues, the birth genres of Rock including such artists as Louis B. Armstrong, Cab Calloway, the Jungle Band, King Oliver's Creole Dance Band, James P. Johnson, Bessie Smith, Jelly Roll Morton, Clarence William's Blue Five, Ella Fitzgerald, Carlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespe, Thelonious Monk, and Lady Day (Billie Holiday)

Swing and Big Band including Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Woody Herman and Harry James

Classical including Motzart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Listz

World Beat is perhaps the next wave of 21st Century Music as the Internet brings the world even closer together. It begins with 20th Century artists including Boiled in Lead, Electric Arab Orchestra, and 3 Mustaphas 3 locally, elsewhere we find Bob Marley, Sunny Ade, Prince Albert, Mutabaruka, Arrested Development, Mickey Hart, The Darbuki Kings, Sheila Chandra, Quinchuquimanda, Oceania, and Indigenous among others.

Wow, that's kind of hard for a movie fan like me. I mean I got the "Cinema Year by Year: 1894 to 2001" (1995, 2001) published by Dorling and Kindersley because it was so huge! It's one of those massive coffee table books if your coffee table is very sturdy. So, in no particular order and kind of off the top of my head...
