Right now I've been into top 40 pop, country, and 90s rock.

What town in N.C.?... Before starting my acting career, I was a DJ for 10 years making my way from a small town in NC all the way to Chicago. At that time "classic rock" was called Top 40 and I was lucky enough to be a part of the musical revolution when bands were experimenting with all kinds of musical instruments as well as the greats locking themselves in their rooms and perfecting their craft. Lots of on air and backstage at concerts interviews but my favorite was interviewing Joe Walsh when he joined the Eagles for Hotel California. I told him I loved artists like himself (my favorite) because I could recognize a Walsh/Cooder/Knoffler if they appeared with any other group and he told me then to enjoy the guitar greats because music was going digital and learning to bend/pull/move the neck and strings, something that took him 20 years to perfect would be a thing of the past. Sadly he was right. Rock mixed with string sections has always been the pinnacle of music for me including the Beatles, Eagles, Heart, Elton John and many more.
... The low music points for me were working at a Top 40 station in Philly that went disco and another Top 40 station in Chicago that went Country. I am not sure which was worse and I could not get out of either station fast enough.
... So obviously Classic Rock is the centerpiece of my listening but I also enjoy an eclectic mix from Joe Bonamassa to TOOL (both are just insanely good live). I think the more music you like the better but I just can't listen to Country and Rap. I am envious of those that love all kinds of music.
I have a fairly wide taste in music. Favorite genres are:
Baroque-era string and keyboard music (Bach, Vivaldi, Soler, etc.)
Classical-era string music (Beethoven, Mozart, etc.)
progressive rock / metal (Yes, Rush, Kansas, Queensryche, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, etc.)
classic rock (Hendrix, Zeppelin, Boston, Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, etc.)
contemporary jazz (mostly the electric stuff ... guitar, bass, or Hammond organ oriented)
atmospheric music (electronic and acoustic)
I'm also a big fan of some older pop artists like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Elvis, and of course The Beatles.
The stuff I absolutely cannot listen to is:
any rap, any country, or any opera.
Anything but pop country. I would rather pass a football sized kidney stone than listen to any country that has come out in the last 20 years.
