Hmmmm, I'm guessing you were born in the 1955 - 1964 timeframe.

:-)

I was ('55). When driving by myself, I tend to listen to a fairly eclectic
mix with a trend toward "edgy".

Anything by Miles Davis, with fav's being Bitches Brew and Tribute to Jack
Johnson. My Boomer Tunes are more like Cream, Hendrix. The more eclectic
stuff is any Jazz Fusion from 1970 through the mid-eighties. Eclectic
starts with John McLaughlin and ends with Kazume Wantanabe. I play bass,
so anything by Stanley Clarke is kool. I also play drums, so anything with
Ginger Baker, Billy Cobham, Narada (Michael Walden), Billy Bruford or the
"greats" like Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa. I can't listen to drum solos when
I'm driving the TR6 - too scary. :-0.

Metal is okay at night if there's no traffic around.

When I'm driving with company, I usually listen to music a bit less edgy
like Pat Metheny, John Scofield, certain Al DiMeola stuff (the later stuff
is fairly mellow) and stuff with less vocals. When I start singing,
sometimes I scare my passengers.

And, of course, Spyro Gyra anything - always. Morning Dance is a great way
to start the day. I still don't know why I like Spyro Gyra (as opposed to
Miles or John McLaughlin), but I do.

Yikes - waaaay off topic.

As usual.
