Have you heard Jackie Evancho? She is the 11 year old who was runner up on " America's Got Talent" a couple years ago. She is a trained soprano and has an amazing voice. Her take on"Nessum Dorma" from Turnadot is amazing especially since that aria is usually sung by a man. I really like a lot of different music. One of my favorite musicians is Eric Clapton. Though he was originally a rock and roll guy, he has really branched out especially in the blues. He recently recorded an album with Winton Marsalis which is really awesome. ( as my grandson would say).

Barbara,I have been listening to Jackie Evancho,she is absolutely "An Angel".She has been given a gift at a very early age.I watch different artist on Youtube broadcast yourself and I just saw her a few days ago.I'll have to check out Eric Clapton and Winston Marsalis.I hate rap! But I will listen to a lot of different types of music and I do enjoy most.I think next to laughter music is good for the soul!

I enjoy light opera, but not the heavy stuff. My favorite music is the oldies. But I also like listening to Il Divo.

There are more, but I am getting tired of typing & I can't remember all

I do not usually listen to Opera. I went to an opera once, but probably won't go to another one. I enjoy plays more. As far as music goes, I like a lot of different kinds (except rap).

I love polka music.We used to have Octoberfest at our local fair grounds.I was in my early twenties then and my uncle took us there every evening during Octoberfest every where there were polka bands.We ate and danced and just had a great time.I discovered Gyros there and at that time they were a dollar apiece.My cousin and I ate gyros until I thought we were going to start looking like one.lol I used to love doing the Polka,can't do that anymore,but I still enjoy the music.I think for me to list all my favorite music would be difficult ,it would be a much shorter list to name what I didn't like.I listen to my kids music too and like it.

Like some others have said, I don't consider rap to be music. I cannot stay in the same room with it. Opera is ok if it isn't too "screechy". I really love classical music and the days I'm home, listen to it on the PBS station. Old 50's and early 60's is good, like Elvis etc. Older country is fine, but the newer stuff I don't care for. Heavy metal isn't music; it is just noise.

I like most music....especially the "OLD" stuff....one can usually sing right along with the music....my question is: what will the "kids" nowdays be singing along with when they reach our age?!! I have a very hard time even understanding what they are trying to say...not to mention the LOUD music that just about drowns out the singer. I do like Opera and listen to it quite often. I have only seen one Opera....Madame Butterfly. That was absolutely beautiful.

We all are getting older and I don't mind at all. I knew that Kevin Costner has a band but
have not heard them yet.

GRANA here;

When I was a child,I was exposed to (clssic& light) opera & loved it, especiallyGilbert & Sullivan operettas: HMS Pinafore; theMikado & others since forgtten.The music was great, thelyrics amusing & short nough to not tire out a young child.
CLASSICS &OPERA:Carmen( Spainish)MADAM BUTTERFLY(Japanese); AIDA( Egyptian) All sung inItalian OR French
and all again exotic &exciting;.I was too young ( 8yo) to enjoy the the other, more classical operas& was no longer exposed to them whenI might have been ready to enjoy them.

i liked"BLACK" GOSPEL, right off( joyous,genuine& energetic)
CLASSICAL COMPOSERS: Pacchebel[Pacobell] (Canon in D)

Vivaldi (4 Seasons);Tchaikowsky;Liszt,Mendehlson,George Gershwin (multi talented. Both showtunes & Classical);Beethoven;Ravel( Bolero),Verdi(Aida)Chopin,Strauss( a multitude of waltzes) Bizet, (Carmen)As youth/ young adult, I enjoyed:
(Broadway) SHOWTUNES AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC(Arlo Guthrie, TheoBikel;Peter,Paul& Mary,JoanBaez;Judy Collins;
BALLADS/EASY LISTENING /makeout music:Nat King Cole; Barbra Streisand; TonyBennet; Frank Sinatra,Mel Torme;Lou Rawlest, all good music , sung well:
operas, follk music( American /International; classic folksy, or humorous.Banjo ;guitar,flute, sax; clarinet ; played well, could always make me stop to listenI never got into
JAZ Z ; I was not sophisticated enough"to get it"
I tried to get into C&W in the60's; liked some:Hank illiams,HankSnow??; Loretta Lynn;JohnnyCash;some others too......others s not "seriously good enough music for my snobby young self.I never reaLy liked ROCK & ROLL making me an outcast among my peer group:>(
NOW I like any & all music; not RAP;not reallymusic!; justspoken words.
I never really liked ROCK& ROLL; making me an outcast among my peer group:>(
