MusicMusic? Well, as the Romans say: De gustibus non est disputandum.
I like world music, Rolling Stones, songs by Edith Piaf, Ute Lemper, Manu Chao & Emma Shapplin. Also songs by KurtWeill & Lotte Lenya. Or as Sean Connery said about Lotte Lenya in the movie "From Russia with Love": – She's had her kicks.
Musical parodies: P.D.Q. Bach, Spike Jones, Weird Al Yankovic, Bob Rivers & Crampe en masse.
I like African and Arab pop, e.g. Issa Bagayogo and Hakim. Also bhangra with Daler Mehndi.
Humour: Tom Lehrer.
Not to mention: Robert Crumb. The famous comics artist also plays good music.
