I like electronica, but I'm so concerned it will hit my SoC harder and do a forced recal. :D

You also forgot Jazz. Sometimes, I find the best HM'ing music to be smooth jazz...keeps me calm and relaxed. Also, the great's like Sinatra, Bennett, Torme, etc. I'm all over the map, however. I'll listen to anything except country...nuff said!

I just can't vote here. I listen to almost everything except for the hardest rock and rap. It is Talk almost every morning though.

As an XM subscriber, I got a "Best of Sirus" upgrade offer:

Martha Stewart: Sorry - I'm a guy
Howard Stern: Not into adult programming
Playboy Channel: See Howard Stern
NASCAR: More adult content :p
NFL: That would have been a hook last month but that was when the Cowboys were playing football.

Now for what I don't listen to.

This weekend I was laughing when by suprize I realized Britney Spears (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27285945/) has a hit. Some my think I'm cruel, but it's just hard taking her serously, esp. after last year, so I listened as comic relief.

You forgot to mention carpool buddy! Most of the time the radio is down and we are talking sports or politics. But we are at opposite ends of the political spectrum so sometimes I have to turn the radio back up. At least we both agree that the Cowboys suck!
