When I'm down or in a "thoughtful" mood, I like to play, on the piano, Chopin or Beethoven. For working out, it's upbeat contemporary Christian music, like Audio Adrenaline. I have a haunting Celtic CD I like to listen to at night. The simplicity of Chris Tomlin’s music speaks to my heart.

I find his arranger to be excellent with much variety. I love the instumentation that goes along with his vocals. Al Jarreau

If I'm down and looking to be cheered up, it's the Avett Brothers, Spoon, Meryll, or Lyle Lovett. If I'm introspective, it's Explosions in the Sky or Derek Webb. If I'm feeling aggressive, it's Refused or Queens of the Stone Age. But my default lately has been Zookeeper: www.myspace.com/zookeepersworld It’s very much a mood thing for me.

I listen to Chet Atkins, Chuck Wagon Gang, Eddy Arnold, Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, Hank Snow, Hank Williams, and Marty Robbins. The list above is from a printout of CD's I made with more than a dozen songs. It also contains Brother Oswald, Cowboy Copus, De Zurik Sisters, girls of the Goldden West and others. “Classic Rock” is an oxymoron.

I recommend electroshock treatments for the left and would gladly suffer one of their many federal tax increases (since thy won't pay for anything themselves)to make sure they get them - regularly :-) If you need a jolt I can think of several better ways to get it besides, music or even poetry for that matter.

It fosters aggresive driving and spurts of testosterone in Relient K's case, and introspective bursts of energy in the case of Showbread. Which is ironic, since most of the time they're screaming about too much introspection. For writing and creating, instrumental rock and movie soundtracks whet my whistle. And, of course, there's always classic rock for everything else. ;-) Fast-paced, driving rock – i.e., Relient K – or loud, aggresive, and generally inane screamo, such as Showbread for driving and working out.

I think it's Americana. I don’t have any albums by the group, but the sound track on Mech Warrior Mercenary game is pretty driving. I think it’s Americana.
