What types of music do you listen to?

You like all music then? :D

Pretty much. You can't do alot of casuals and not know alot of everything. You need to listen to alot of everything to just be aware of what's out there that people might ask you to play. I'm known for having the correct clothes too - tuxes for weddings, blue jeans and boots for country gigs, black leather for the rockin' music, etc.,....basic black business for musicals... oh yeah, and you got to be able to read really good too ;)

So if I ever rant here about not liking something - it's all a facade. I'm a musical whore - pay me enough money and I'll be the drummer you've been looking for forever!

I'm not sure about that bro. I think almost every band in the second list has vastly outsold Cream. Great groups all the same. It took me until this year for my Aunt to get me to listen to Jethro Tull for the first time! And they're great.

Cream wasn't together very long and didnt put out alot of material. I dont think its hard to believe they were out sold. But they are vastly well known and are definitely more listened to and have more fans than most on the second list.
 
I listen to good music.

I like to listen Pop,Classical and Rock music. They are superb for enjoyment. Classical music is my passion because It is good for listening and It is stress reviler too. It is one type of exercise.
 
I really enjoy all kinds of music, but what I like and listen to the most is Funk. Then everything kind of spreads out from there. The funkier it is, the more I like it.
 
My iPod currently has the following on it:

Peter Erskine Trio (with Pasqua and Carpenter, RIP)
Supertramp (even in the quietest moments)
Manu Katche (Neighbourhood)
Tom Waits (Closing time, his first album and best ever)
Tomasz Stanko Quartet
Marcin Wasilewski Trio
Tord Gustavsen Trio
John Mayer
Genesis (Cinema Show from Seconds Out, I love Bill Bruford's drumming here!)
