I have a really eclectic musical taste, about the only things I can't stand listening to are opera, nu metal and snail hop rap. My list is biger than Jolly's. One minute I'll be listening to Buffett...(WTF didja expect from a parrothead?) the next I have Rob Zombie working the platter, with Yanni on deck #2. Throw in lots of Corrs, Blondie, Brooks & Dunn...... Now all I have to do is learn all this on the guitar. :p

I like the way this playlist flows especially from "Sound of Silence" to "Wait and Bleed".

I listen to a lot of video game music and metal, but I do not narrow my tastes down to include just those types of music.

In that monster list (or this whole thread yet), I couldn't believe Leo Kottke wasn't mentioned. He's one of a kind and I'd say a true virtuoso. Perhaps he's included in the "among many others"?
