Re: Music - what does everyone listen to??
There is no rhyme or reason to what I listen to. At the moment I'm listening to the Spiderman 1 OST (10 years old, argh).
I'm listening to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, Cream, Jimi Hendrix at the moment.
I guess my chosen genre would be electronica though.
