HOO BOY where do I start….
My favorite songs are upbeat. I like some slow songs, but I like fast songs better…Idk why. I enjoy ‘80s pop and synth-pop, as well as bubblegum pop from the ‘90s, and some from the early 2000s. I like some newer stuff, too, but usually they remind me of that era.
I also like some 70s stuff, like Boney M. and ABBA.
Latin music is another favorite— like Olga Tanon, Selena, Luis Miguel, and La Sonora Dinamita. Los Bukis’ songs were also an obsession of mine.
I like opera and classical music, but I love vocal Baroque works, like Bach’s cantatas. His secular ones, especially the “Coffee Cantata” are funny if you know the translations.
Also Scottish Jacobite songs…for some weird reason. And the Tannahill Weavers’ version of “Johnnie Cope” is amazing!
I also listen to a lot of “weird” stuff, but I don’t think of it that way. It’s just weird in my part of the world. I like Russian pop, Celtic Woman, and folk songs from various cultures. (mostly Eastern European and Middle Eastern) However, the other day I was listening to Welsh music, and it was lovely!
Oh and I enjoy yodeling/alpine folk. If you dig deep enough it’s pretty good.
