First let me say, I am really impressed by the wealth of music and band knowledge that many of you have. Bravo.
I have been through so many music phases in my life. Today, I am really satisfied with music that is mellow and more earthy. I subscribe to Amazon where I listen to the Modern Folk Music channel. Some of it is way too poppy, but some of it is quite good. They used to have a channel called Mellow Folk which I liked much better, but they consolidated it away.
I also like a category called world music as long it is not all whale calls and the wind. I'm not a fan of esoteric music. It just does not speak to or move my sole.
When nothing else works for me, I can always fall back on Cat Stevens and Claude Debussy.
