Though it pains me to admit it, I've become a serious country buff... Garth Brooks is just amazing. I still don't like the hillbilly lost my car, my house and my girl kinda stuff but the new country is all about love and life and just good stuff - real stuff. I like em cause "they're songs about me." Other than that, my taste in music varies dramatically - I'll listen to just about anything. However, my faves would be James Taylor, Billy Joel, Sarah McLaughlin, Loreena McKennit, Garth (obviously), Trace Atkins, Blake Shelton, the most recent Nashville Star winner Angela Hacker (along with her brother Zac and David St. Romain), Violent Femmes, Ray Charles, Alanis Morissette, Indigo Girls, Great Big Sea, Dave Matthews, Lifehouse, John Mayer, Soul Coughing, Eagles, Beatles, Blues Brothers, recently fell in love with The Dresen Dolls... ummm... I'm sure there are more but I'll end by saying I like just about everything else - reggae, R&B, rock, alt. rock, pop, jazz, soft rock, smooth jazz, classic rock and I THINK that's it lol...
