Who are your favorite groups and singers? Mine are Meatloaf, Temptations, Somon and Garfunkle, Three Dog Night, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Billy Joel, Eagles, John Denver, The Four Tops, Cat Stevens, Elton John, and Gladys Knight and the Pips. Just to name a few.
Stryper, Rush, Pink Floyd, The Beatles
Metallica, Disturbed, Godsmack, White/Rob Zombie
and many many many more
I'll go along those.
Gordon Lightfoot is my particular favourite. I've got around 20 of his CDs! Here's a taste from YouTube.
Yeah, I like Gordon too, His best know song of course is the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.......

I would have thought "If You Could Read My Mind" (a handy ESP sense for playing chess) would be even more widely known.
What would be your favourite Cat Stevens song? (Your favourite today - as these things change! - and it's tough deciding on a single track). Do you play guitar?
Well, today it's" Peace Train". Tomorrow, who knows, maybe "Oh very young". Yeah I play. But I'm no professional. I don't know how old you are but in my day it was the music of Peter, Paul, and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, Harry Chapin and his brother Tom, and John Denver. Hope thats not telling my age ...lol.
As an exercise, I tracked down some of my favourite songs on YouTube. That way, I get the benefit of a video as well.

In job interviews, asking someone's age is verboten. But you can ask them their favourite music and draw your own conclusions!
My Chemical Romance,The White Stripes,Mindless Self-Indulgance,Nirvana,Tokio Hotel,Queen,Green Day,PANIC! at the Disco,and The Beatles.
Rap/hip hop is more my thing. My favorites are Eminem, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Tupac, The Game, 50 cent, Timbaland, Dr. Dre, D12, Obie Trice, Cashis, Sean Paul, Nelly, Run DMC, and DMX, to name a few.
My name is Slim Shady!
Hehehehe
Glad I amuse you!
Well, it was funny because it was random.
Well,you said you like Eminem...
