This is quite something, which, especially in the young people of today, is very rare. So do you actually mix your genres when it comes to listening to music? If so, then which ones. I certainly do, I have rock, pop, indie, country, latino, soul, vocal and Jazz.
Examples: my chemical romance, Kelly Clarkson, the wombats, Dolly Parton, Shakira, Duffy, Micheal Bublé and Peggy Lee.

That’s the sort of link Jimmy Young would make. And yes, I snaffle all the purple ones first.
I couldn’t possibly jump from say Beatles to Chike, or dance to folk. I could never go near Opera unless it’s a BIG production like Carmen and I could never jump from Carmen to The Smiths.
I’ve just spent 2 hours in the bath, Mp3 on with same Genre. Same Album actually.
Defence and Aviation monthly, 2 pints of tea (Very large cup), packet of Fig biscuits (Fig Newtons to you americans) and 4 Walnut Whips (Well, they are only a mouthful big these days). And a LARGE purple Q. Street.
Luxury!
Two HOURS in the bath ?Didn’t that make you as wrinkked as a prune ? Oh, and who’s Jimmy Young ?

Surely if you like something,you like it regardless.I’ve just gone from Richie Havens to Keane by way of Linkin Park and Youssou N’Dour.If I have a box of Quality Street I don’t have to eat all the green triangles before starting on the orange creams,it’s a random selection ( though the green triangles are definitely the best ).

Yep, frequently. It isn’t uncommon for me to jump from something like Rammstein to Sarah McLachlan to Joni Mitchell playing only one or two songs from each.

It depends on what kind of mood I’m in. Sometimes I jump randomly, sometimes I listen to entire albums by the same artist. Music is emotion, after all. I listen to whatever I feel like listening to at the time. 🙂

But do you randomly jump between genre?

Yeah, I mix it up a bit! 🙂

When I put “The Who” on, I need the whole album….even if I have to pause it for work.
I could listen to several genres in a day, but not mixed.

Russian Pop
Robbie, if you ever get to Russia you’ll realise just how horrendous Russian ‘pop’ music really is. If you flick through the channels on TV or radio there’s almost always some of it on and it’s generally really quite horrendous! As with anything though, you find the odd decent track. 🙂
Ah, and French/Belgian pop or rock isn’t really ‘world’ music. There isn’t a djembe or a tres guitar in sight!
I’ve been listening to music all day today as I do most days. I’ve gone from Jimmy Eat World to Mary Chapin Carpenter, to Steely Dan, to James Taylor, to Nine Inch Nails, to Alannah Myles and I’m currently listening to a bit of Hugh Masekela. Yeah, I mix it up a bit! 🙂

I must say though BumbleBee, it’s probably due to me having a fascination in music, plus, my parents always play music in the house during the day when they’re working or cooking, and i’ve came accustomed to the genre they play.
By “world music” may I say how I have Jpop, Kpop, Russian Pop, French Rock and Belgian pop? 😛
Classical music – I listen to what I play on the piano.
By: BumbleBee - 31st March 2009 at 20:18
Wot no classical or world music ? I have them plus the first three on your list.Try as I might I can’t get my daughter ( 20 ) to appreciate anything outside her own taste,which is mostly the heaviest of metal,she doesn’t even like pop much.I’d say your taste is pretty unusual for a young person.
By: heslop01 - 31st March 2009 at 20:17
I mix whenever I listen to my ipod or itunes! 🙂
By: old shape - 31st March 2009 at 20:13
I’ve a mixed bag on the mp3, but I never mix duration any listening session. I never use random play or such like either. Can’t leap from Johny Cash to Tiesto!
