I'm a little surprised that classical came in 3d here but I'm not surprised by popularity of jazz and rock. I listen primarily to classical but that says a lot about my work habits. When I'm listening critically, I tend to listen mainly to jazz, rock, or acoustical music.

I do listen to a lot of Chant (Gregorian etc) but did not see it on the list or is it classed as classical?

....or maybe traditional Christian Pop.....?

I pretty much listen to all genres but may favorite genre is progressive rock/metal. Maybe the thread should read what are you listening to right now...I am checking out Audio Fidelity's SACD of Yes's "Close To The Edge" and getting ready to queue up Audio Fidelity's Rush "Counterparts." :)

I have to say I am a little surprised that on a predominately US oriented site that Country and Bluegrass are scoring so low (scratches head).

I am surprised that the rock and rollers are winning. I didn't think anyone listened to that stuff.

 

I do! Classic Rock is my favorite genre followed by Jazz, Blues and World Music.

I still love music.

Grin - admitting to a love of Bluegrass and Banjo is almost tantamount to audiophile excommunication I think. But I do dearly love Bluegrass and even a lot of country, though I admit, some country music I have to take in very small doses.

Depends on the audiophile circles, many consider Rounder SACDs to be some of the most realistic, especially those by Alison Krauss. Just saying you need feel no guilt at loving bluegrass.

 

Also the Original Master Recording of Emmylou Harris's Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town is in my opinion one of the best sounding LPs MFSL ever released.

I was just about to point out Alison Krauss. Her and Union Station are amazing.

+1 I wasn't much of a bluegrass fan until I heard Alison Krauss + Union Station - that opened the genre a bit for me and now I'm beginning to branch out :)

I would recommend checking out Sarah Jarosz who is a young artist cut from similar thread. Both of her CD's are quite good and have well above average sonics.

+1, highly recommended :)

 

The new album from Holly Williams is also very good (daughter of Hank Williams Jr.)

Sarah Jarosz: Build Me Up From Bones: CD Music Details: ImportCds.com 015891409320

 

Sarah Jarosz has a new album out next month, September 17th. She is very talented. Thank you for mentioning her.

 

"Build Me Up From Bones, the third release from acclaimed 22-year-old singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sarah Jarosz, is set to drop October 1st via Sugar Hill Records. Build Me Up From Bones was recorded in the midst of Jarosz's final semester at the prestigious New England Conservatory (where she graduated with honors) and a rigorous touring schedule. Following her mid-May graduation, she flew straight to Nashville to put the finishing touches on the album. Now set to embark on an exciting new chapter of her life, the songs on Sarah Jarosz's newest release are a compelling portrait of an artist coming into her own."
