Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo by Johann Pachelbel, that's one of the few classical pieces I can listen to a lot, it somehow can never bore me.

I'm with George here. For me anything from the German Baroque, Handel, Bach, Telemann in particular through to the post Romantics, Elgar, Sibelius, Mahler via the Vienese Classical composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven. Also I like some jazz.

Not the only one, let's just say I have an eclectic (is that the right word? ) taste in music. One minute I'll listen to Doris Day ( still my ideal woman ), another it'll be Rammstein, then in the car we tend to listen to Dean Martin.I expected lots of Mozart or Elgar etc...

I like pretty much everything you've mentioned there..except Jazz. I just don't understand it I'm with George here.

I knew we'd finally agree on something.

Nice choice Stefan - another sublime piece of music. Though I'm not sure you'll convert the heathens.
Heard a documentary on the radio about A Kind of Blue which made the claim that more babies had been conceived to this than any other jazz album!
BTW, have you ever come across Ashley Kahn's book about A Kind of Blue? It's a brilliant reconstruction of the making of the album and the context in which it emerged. Thoroughly recommended if you're into the music.

They are brilliant aren't they? I kinda went off them soon after getting into Metallica, but have always had a soft spot for some of their tracks.Though recently I seem to have rediscovered Iron Maiden, I'd forgotten how good they are

for those with confused tastes like myself who like Rock and Classical music, try Jon Lord's Concierto for Group and Orchestra. The best of both worlds!!
Actually I like Jon Lord's music in general.

I can't listen to music or anything in the background when I need to concentrate hard. Otherwise I sometimes put on the televison or radio. Lots of interesting modern pop and rock music on BBC Six Music.
