Country all the way! I’m also a big fan of both Hanks. I have an MP3 cd with about 250 country songs on it that I always listen to. I just put all the songs on a playlist and let them play randomly.

I’m a huge fan of almost all country singers. Not big on female country though, I dont really know why. Right now I’m listening to “Texas on my Mind” by Jerry Jeff Walker.

I already started a thread on this:

BTW, I’m listening to “Two of Us” by the Beatles.

I always have a random mix of all my MP3’s playing. Right now, it’s “Wake Up And Lose”, by the Humpers.

And Hank Sr. is the _shit_. 🙂

I’ve got on a slick double CD called _Beyond Nashville_ which has one disc of vintage country (Hank, Merle Haggard, Jimmie Rogers, Carter Family), and another of recent ‘alt. country’ (Stacey Earle, Lambchop, Jim White, Emmylou). Right now I have on the disc with the newer music - very nice stuff.

Matchbox Twenty’s new CD **More Than You Think You Are** - by itself this morning and now shuffled in with their other 2 CD’s.

Yeah - the songs start sounding the same - but they all sound good! (This _IS_ IMHO, right? 🙂 )

Mainly NIRVANA, as I’m working on a paper about Kurt Cobain for English 105. Some AiC, Queens of the Stone Age, Pearl Jam, and Beastie Boys peppered in for variety.

What? (Notices odd looks)

Yes, I listen to a mixture like that most of the time anyway, so it’s really not that special.
