It depends on the mood I am looking for and the mood I am trying to break.
Sometimes its blues, sometimes its classic rock, heavy metal, trance, psychedelic or easy listening.
Sometimes it just a corny song from my youth.
For instance, when I want to be sassy, Steelheart - Steelheart gets me in the mood. Van Halen - Eruption sometimes.
When I'm looking to feel nostalgic, The Archies - Sugar Sugar, Mamas & Papas - California Dreaming.
Sometimes I play music because I want to feel the rhythm and groove. The words of the song lose meaning and the instruments are my focus. Especially guitar and sax.
Albert Cummings - Feeling End, Deep Purple - Breakfast In Bed.
When I want to feel creative I listen to acoustic guitar songs.
Calum Graham - Phoenix Rising,
Luca Stricagnoli - The Last of the Mohicans
When I'm with my gf at night listening to slow ballads and mellow songs feels right. Don Henley - Last Worthless Evening, Roger Hodgson - Only Because Of You.
When I want to rock out, Laura Cox - Fire Fire, Scorpions - Blackout.
I have a lot of different types of music which I listen to frequently for various reasons. I cited a few examples.
I have a 16 GB thumb drive in my truck of favorite driving songs.
I don't really listen to music which doesn't make me feel good.
Probably one of the reasons I stopped listening to radio stations.
I choose all the music I listen to. It all makes me feel good at one time or another. I'm pretty good about picking the right music for the mood.
