Before that change I loved:

Grateful Dead, JGB, etc

all bluegrass
Weird Al
Cream
Blind Faith
Pretenders (I know, but... "it's all right")

Hank Sr.
Asleep at the Wheel
Hoyt Axton
Best bar band ever: Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen.

err, and many more that don't come to mind right now! Old classic and psychadelic rock, bluegrass, (good) country, folk...

Except of course, at the end but not forgotten,

JOHNNY CASH!

...The Cars-All Mixed Up

Most of the time, I listen to contemporary Christian music. My favorite contemporary Christian artists include the Newsboys, DC Talk, Michael W. Smith, and Michael Card. I also like to listen to Jewish music, Israeli folk music, Celtic music (Clannad, Maire Brennan, Lord of the Dance), classical music (Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Dvorak, Grieg, Russian composers), and classic rock (Deep Purple, Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers, Supertramp, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin). For me, contemporary Christian music puys me in a good mood.

Vivaldi -The four seasons-watermusic (early rock and roll baby)

I have really odd musical tastes myself. I tend to go through phases where I pick a certain set of songs from my collection and listen to them repeatedly. Right now I'm into another heavy jpop (japanese pop music) phase (i'm a big fan of Globe, Two-Mix and Romantic Mode, plus lots of various anime opening/ending theme songs) I also get into an 80's mood a lot and start listening to 80's stuff.

Heh I recently gave up and started just labeling my custom mix CDs by what mood they're for. One of my favorites is the one labeled "FTW", which stands for "F*** the World". I listen to it when I get stressed out, which is quite often. it's got a lot of heavier music on it...Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Garbage, KMFDM, etc. I also have one labeled "ABE" (Anything But English), which I listen to when I want music but don't feel like listening to anything that will engage my brain's verbal centers. It's only got five songs on it right now though, as I was trying to get songs in a variety of langauges but didn't have very many (Right now it has japanese, german, croatian and hindi on it, plus one song without vocals.)

Haven't updated my list in a while, so here's my newest list. Only if I have more than one song by artist does it get on list.
