You can here everything from Abba to White Zombie on my iPod. You might hear California Love by 2Pac and Dr. Dre and next you'd be listening to Under the Sea.

It scares me that I know that. : )
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Very cool, DAR... And I WILL check out those bands I've never heard of. Okay, I started my list of artists on my blog. Once I saw how truly huge the song list would have looked on the page, I decided to not list the individual songs. So far, it's just the letter A and B artists, but you can already see the mix... <a href="http://mouthyvegasgal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://mouthyvegasgal.blogspot.com/</a>

So maybe they're not "real" country after all. Never mind. I don't like rap/hip-hop in general. But there are a couple Eminem songs I love.

Originally Posted By ReadingMom I went through a period where I listened to a lot of country music.

I have her song "Before He Cheats" on my iPod and every time I hear it I want to yell "You go girl!" My iPod is full of every type of music: Alicia Keyes, U2, Journey, Etta James, Van Morrison, Sam Cooke, Ambrosia and more. Yes, Ambrosia. When 2oony and I started dating in 1980 he wrote down the lyrics to the song "You're the biggest part of me" and gave it to me. I read it in the locker room at Great America (where we met) and it will always be on my iPod.

I don't much care for rap but love Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre. People always laugh when I start singing "Ain't no fun if my homies can't get none" since the song is so misogynistic. I don't care for country but love Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. I don't get excited for R&B but love Alicia Keys.

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I like a little bit of everything. I'm not really big into pop-hip/hop but I really like Rhianna (sp?) & Chris Brown. I also have Low by Flo Rida on my mp3 player because that's Catey's favorite song! I also don't really like rap in general but like a lot of Jay Z & Eminem's stuff. I'm used to listening to country a lot - it's DH's favorite, so if we're in the car together that's what we're listening to (*insert groan and eye roll here*), so I don't have a lot of it on my playlist because I get so sick of it so fast - most of the new stuff is crap, but I LOVE Big & Rich and will never turn away from a George Strait song! Is it just me or ever since they started American Idol and Nashville Star and those types of programs that they will hand a recording contract to just about anyone who can carry half of a tune?
