Maybe it is the rainy days, but I've been listening to Ane Brun and old Bjork albums since two days. I also had Cesario Evora and Peggy Lee on a couple of times yesterday.

Here is a favorite of this morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related

Well, I don't have an iPod. I had an MP3 that I was using while I was on the elliptical for a while, but hubby stole that and honestly- I don't listen to music too much. It gives me a headache after a while. I think that's because I am always thinking something through in my mind anyway.

Oh goodness, what ISN'T on my iPod. I only use it to run, but if you figure that I run no less than 3 hours a week, that's a lot of music to keep me occupied.

I've got lots of:
Black Eyed Peas
Coldplay
U2
Owl City
Justin Timberlake
Gwen Stefani (No Doubt also)
Lady GaGa
Matisyahu
M Franti (just Say Hey)
Elvis
Green Day
Weezer
Rihanna
Madonna
Vampire Weekend
Johnny Eat World
Snow Patrol
...and on and on she goes.

I had to go look - I *do* actually have music on my iPod, but I rarely use it to listen to music (I mostly use the internet, my pattern/fabric database and the shopping list, oh, and my calendar). I'm kind of all over the place, musically, here's a sampling of the artists I have:

Billie Holiday
Bing Crosby
Brad Paisley (country)
Carole King
Eagles
Jars of Clay (Christian)
Linda Eder (Broadway)
Yo-Yo Ma
Moxy Fruvous (Canadian, um, alternative, I guess?)
Nickel Creek (Bluegrass)
Rockapella (Carmen San Diego anyone?)
Wicked (not an artist, I guess - the cast recording)

See? All over the place.

Mostly, though, I listen to my Sirius radio in my car - when I'm not stuck listening to kid's music, it's either the 40's station or the Broadway station.

ipod is WAY too advanced for me.:)
I listen to music all day throughout the house, upstairs and down... in the car, in the salon, at AT..It is all different

I love to sing and I love all kinds of music from Smooth Jazz , Anita Baker, Toni Braxton style to Kieth Urban, Brooks and Dunn... ALL Motown tunes , Cold Play, Alice in Chains , Nirvana, Journey. and Pink. I love just about everything but classical...I think that is because I can't sing along:)

I'm with Angie on this one! I currently do not have an iPod, and listen to most of my music in the car (radio!). At home I just stream my iTunes library.

A rather hilarious mix of stuff. Everything from Dvorak and Beethoven to a Swedish (I think) metal band that an ex-boyfriend of mine used to like. Band is called Opeth and they just rule. Most of my tracks occupy a middle ground (R.E.M., Simon and Garfunkel, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Jeff Buckley). There's a Scissor Sisters track in there somewhere, and a Pearl Jam album, and some Fleetwood Mac, and some Abba, and an east coast fiddle-based Canadian group called Leahy, and now I want to go blast some music and dance around! Byeee! Will comment on others tomorrow.

I cannot exercise without my ipod. And it's all about the podcasts! APM's The Splendid Table; Savage Love; The Economist; Grammar Girl; Leonard Lopate and more. Music just doesn't distract me enough to keep me on the treadmill for 40 minutes.

Ironically, while reading this thread I discovered that our children's music collection includes The Poopsmith Song by Over the Rhine. The main line is "Poop goes in the potty."

I don't have an Ipod, have only bought a couple of CDs for my personal listening in my entire life and only listen to the radio in the car, where I prefer "talking" shows. My DH did download a whole lot lot of a Radio National show called Life Matters for me to take out running but I have never remember to take it.
I often have songs running though my head though. I am quite up with Kid's music!

Patience we have a "wee wee song" in one of the kids CD's.
