These days I tend to listen to more classical music, jazz, Bing Crosby, a lot slower-paced stuff.

Metallica is classical music, no?

My usual mode is early jazz, classical music -- usually 1840-1935, but also some Baroque.(though we're looking to adopt a baby so right now enjoying my metal while I still can!)

My instrument is piano, so I prefer Ravel, Liszt, Prokofiev, Chopin, Schubert, and on the jazz side, the Duke, Basie, Joplin, Monk.

Big fan of the violin too, esp. the underrated jazz violin. Favorite combo: piano, bass, drums, violin, and a honey-dripping alto like The Divine Miss Sarah Vaughn.

Metallica is classical music, no?

Uh. . . .no :) Beatles is classic rock--Metallica is classic metal, maybe :)

My favorite classical music is mostly Baroque but also some 19th century stuff, esp. Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Strauss. I play piano, too, though not very well yet.
