The list is too long. Also, I tend to like my music based on the rhythm/beat as I cannot understand lyrics unless I read them. It's like Mr. Holland's Opus.

Oh wait...Brubeck's Take Five.
You've heard of that.

Why is Worldbeat not more popular in the US?
It's HUGE here, and in places like France, Germany and the UK. I wonder why that is....?

In general I am a big blues fan, but like many other types of music. At the moment Willie Nelson holds a top spot with his "I woke up still not dead again"

None that you guys have ever heard of. My musical taste is stuck in the late 60s/early 70s. By the way, I love "Stuck in the Middle With You." Jokers to the right of me, clowns to the left describes my life perfectly.

Many of these musicians can sing in a dozen different languages, can play a dozen different instruments and suffered unimaginable horrors in civil wars. They watched their families being slaughtered, had their instruments smashed by extremists for playing secular music, and escaped termination by being smuggled into other countries in the trunks of cars.
And yet, they continue to play.
They get very little exposure in the US. It's a shame.

There are a number of songs with lyrics I like. But I am a big fan of sound tracks from movies. Like the opening song from the movie Mo Better Blues:
And my all time favorite: from Chinatown:
Sound, mood and melody are most important to me.

There are songs I love from the soundtracks of Cirque de Soleil.
The original composer, Rene Dupéré, was absolutely phenomenal, but doesn't work for them anymore.

Wow, didn't realize there were Depeche Mode fans here! I saw them three times in Washington when we lived there. They put on great shows!
I'm all over with music. Grew up in the 70's so I like a lot of classic rock. Was in my twenties during the 80's and latched onto the new wave music movement.
Now I still like the previous genres but I'm into some metal core bands now thanks to my oldest son. 😃

Too many to list! Give me some American folk and a little Guthrie, add in a bit of jazz, a lot of the blues, from the Delta to Chicago, gotta have some big band, like a little Glenn Miller, then Rock Around the Clock and the Beatles change it all. Phew, what a decade. Give me some British Invasion, but also a little tincture of Good Vibrations, until Innagadadavida mashes it all with some Mama & Papas, Grateful Dead, Airplane, CSNY, Clapton, too many more to mention, and then along came Led Zep, and the '70's started with a solid backbeat, to be picked up by such folks as Aerosmith, Allman Bros, Southern Rock, Punk!, I Survived Disco, Punk!, Grunge, Alt Rock, (Cohen, Bowie, CCR, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, The Byrds, U2, Grisman and Garcia, on and on and on......) And that's just the pop charts. Whew. In my ninth grade ('65-'66), Catholic high school, 'study' period, the nun whose room it took place liked to play the Mamas and Papas on her mono record player during that time.

In her classroom? Every day was Monday, Monday . It was an interesting time period to attend a Catholic school. By the time I graduated in '69, about one third of the nuns had ditched their religious names and reverted back to their birth names. It was the math, science, and social studies teaching sisters who changed their names first.
