what I listen to.

Quite a few people on the interwebs have listed the songs on their i-pods, or their favourite record collection, or even the playlist they like to exercise to.

Well, my i-pod has 750+ songs, most of them are divided into about 8-9 separate playlists, so I'm not going to list them.

I will instead list the artists. And how many songs by each.
That will give you some idea of the type of music I prefer.

You can see that I lean fairly heavily towards Country Music, with Trisha Yearwood being a clear favourite.
Some of these are favourites from my childhood, when I heard them on the radio before we got a television. Others are from my teen years, still others are from movie soundtracks.
Quite a mixture.
