 My favorite is "old time rock n roll", but my daughters like it too, so that wouldn't work at my house. LOL.
Yes, it is fun to find something that aggravates them, and just pick on them sometimes.
Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

 Funny and I can see how it would work with my youngest daughter. She hates country western but no so effective with my oldest who loves it.

I love the old rock and roll as well, but I never liked Elvis, or Jerry Lee Lewis for some reason, but I did like Dion and the Belmonts. The girls and I love teasing each other, my granddaughter is finally catching on, sometimes she doesn't know if I'm serious, or playing, I love the expressions she makes, she looks so confused!

Does your son like classical music? If not, I have several albums of them that you can borrow. Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Chopin, Mendelssohn and Strauss to name a few.

 I just pick up a mandolin or whatever I fee like paying and clear the room with bluegrass and Celtic music and get total peace. Easy.
Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

Yes, you lucked out there. You couldn't irritate me with your choices, there is only one kind of music that drives me nuts.

    I enjoyed this column! My choice of music is Paul Simon, John Denver, Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, Neil Diamond. But I really like today's pop music too. I create slide shows to music that touches me in some way to deepen the experience. It's amazing how they come out, revealing deep secrets of emotions one feels and what I wish others would see, and feel from the creations. I can listen to the same song many times if there's a phrase that grabs me in profound ways.

    I'm curious, if you could name 3 songs as your favorites what would they be? Why is your favorite song of all time so special to you?
Thanks Leaf, glad you enjoyed it. I also enjoy the artists you mentioned, Neil Diamond being the favorite of them. I can't name just 3 songs as my favorite, but I do have a favorite from each artist, or group that I listen to. From the artists you listed, Neil Diamond, "Play Me", Joan Baez, "Diamonds and Rust", John Denver's "Anne's Song". Why they are special to me, I'll keep that to myself.

That wouldn't work here, I go and pick up the violin, or the guitar, and my kids join me. I took out my dining table and set up a music area in it's place. I figured why not, we all gather in the kitchen to eat anyway. So it's a keyboard, 3 guitars, 2 violins, 1 viola, 1 mandolin and 2 amplifiers if we want to get loud.

    You want to quiet down a loud stereo playing in a neighbor's back yard?

    Put on a Slim Whitman album and crank it up as he belts out "Red River Valley." It'll make your toenails curl up.

That sounds like a good plan, but I don't have neighbors even close to what is called my backyard, I do have cows though. Oh, and I don't even own a Slim Whitman album, I only have a handful of C&W albums and a couple CD's. You're right though, him singing that song can curl some toenails!

I forgot all about that kind of music, if that's what you want to call it. I've been stuck next to cars at a red light while the passengers of that vehicle are getting down with the music. The vibrations from the bass actually shake my truck!! I wonder if they turn it up so loudly because they have already gone deaf?
