I too love music but don't listen to it as often as A.L.

I always seem to head back to music with great lyrics (Dylan, Cohen, Spears ) but I love all kinds of music.

I'm listening to more and more house,chill, trance, or electronica these days and i'm really getting into it. I LOVE music with a strong percussive beat.

Some of the people I'm listening to these days include Tiesto, Thievery Corporation, Claude Challe, Stéphane Pompougnac

A far less conventional type of music that I got into about 15 years ago is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. An amazing (now deceased) Pakistani singer, singing about mysticism with an ensemble of top musicians playing some ancient instruments...just awesome IMO. A while ago they used his music for the movie Natural born Killers and he was livid when he realized that some of the music was used in scenes that showed cold blooded murder.
