Ok here we go
1. Rock - in all its different disguises - particulalry fond of the 'epic' albums. Like the blend of classical and rock.
2. Instrumental stuff like Mike Oldfield/Vangelis & T.Dream which leads to ......
3. Electronic/Ambient stuff - JMJ/Eno
4. Folk - actually started off with this many moons ago, N Young, S Phillips, B Dylan and many many more (ever listen to Sixto Rodriguez? - the best street poet)
5. Classical - don't know much about it but building up a big collection over the last few years. Quite amazing what those old masters came up with.
6. Reggae - Uncle Bob is still King.
7. Film - Like the music from 'Babel' I would include 'World Music' in this category. Peter Gabriel/Ennio Morricone etc.
8. Don't know what alternative is - an alternative to what?
9. Jazz - never really understood why someone could go beserk on a saxophone while someone else goes beserk on the drums and it's called music. i.e Weather Report. I know I am wrong but I just don't get it. I must be retarded or something....
10. ©rap, and any other form of music which uses the blatant exploitation of people (i.e. women), where 'musicians' (ha ha) wear clothing that doesn't fit and think it's cool to wear fake gold chains big enough to anchor the Titanic. They regard the electric turntable as an instrument. (Please play a Adim9th chord). Add in the absolute stupidity of bouncing ugly-looking cars up and down and you end up with a music form that is as relevant as waterproof teabags.
11. The Spice Girls aka Sticky Vicky & the Airheads.
12. Jedward. This has to epitomise the lengths people will go to to be famous. And expose the dummies that buy it.
