I don't have a favorite genre or artist because, like others have mentioned, it varies with mood, phase of the moon or whatever. I think that no matter what my mood is, Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland and John Coltrane's A Love Supreme are two albums that stand out from all the rest. My favorite song of all time is probably Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, but I can't remember the last time I heard it. I generally prefer more dissonance, but that song has always struck me. Although the music I mentioned is from the 60s, some of the worst music of all time came out then too. A lot of great music has come out throughout my life, as it did before I was here and will continue to do long after I'm gone.
