I am reading a good book right now about Music Therapy. Jodi Piccoult's "Sing Me Home." So far it is interesting and just okay, but she is a very popular author.

As far as music: eclectic tastes here from hard rock to some rap to classical to jazz. I love it all!

Some favorites off the top of my head are:

Pink Floyd
Earth Wind and Fire
Rolling Stones
Beattles
Doors
Newer:
Brandy Carlisle
Bright Eyes
Death Cab for Cuties
Cloud Cult

More:
John Hiatt
BoDeans

absolutely agree... I like most of tham

I too enjoy classic music, but I not always feel like listening to it. I usually listen to it while I'm on a somewhat pessimistic mood, or when I'm studying (I'm usually on a pessimistic mood while studying LOL) Anyway, I think classic music helps me to remember things better... My favorite composes are Antonio Vivaldi and Johann Sebastian Bach (a bit banal, but I can not escape their power .... )
My all time favorite composition is The Contest between Harmony and Invention- part of which is Four Seasons and air on a G string by Bach......

I agree about concentration. As for some modern classic composers, I just don't know whether "classic" is the exact word for Yiruma, but I like his music very much. Have you heard of him? I like his light music, it always makes me calm and I think is very pleasant sound to hear.. He is a pianist too, always perform his own compositions.. My favorites are Maybe and Kiss the rain...

I've listened to both Gershwin and Bernstein compositions you've mentioned, and they're actually GENIAL!

You should try out some Yiruma music too, although they're much lighter than what we've listed above, but actually the melody is nice and quite pleasant to listen to

When I was young, 12-15 (10 yrs ago) I would listen to my Dad's music collection, which was recorded from vinyl to tape, I preferred listing to all the old music than what was in the charts. This consisted of The Beatles, Queen, Elton John and Madonna's 80s stuff. I still prefer old music to new music but I do like Arcade Fire and Sigur Ros.

My two favorite bands are the Foo Fighters and Incubus. I am actually listening to some Foo as I type this up! I also am big into classic rock and love Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and so on.

I think I have commented in earlier threads that I enjoy almost everything, including rap, blues, and the occasional country song. You name it, and its on my iPod...Eminem, Gorillaz, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Velvet Revolver, Weezer, Ted Nugent...the list goes on and on!

Hey Charlie, I do love Sigur Ros a lot! með suð í eyrum is one of my all time favorite songs ! Which is your favorite one? I also like Other Lives and Placebo from modern ones, and Radiohead but not the latest album.

As for Johnny Cash- I just respect him !

I think you will quite like Sigur Ros, have you listened to them ? They're from Iceland, I watched their open air live performances, I just can not express my impressions with words, the situation is so amazing! green grass, a lot of people with their children sitting and enjoying the brilliant melodies of Sigur Ros..

I'm glad that you liked them, actually I consider them to be the most individual band of modern times, I really like their style and music, helps me relax and dream a lot!
