Not nuts about Rap, but I did like that piece. There is some Rap inspired work on the Telepopmusic albums, the song "Swamp" comes to mind. I suppose for me, it depends on what the song is conveying. I haven't heard much Rap music that has lyrics I want to hear, or want to hear more than once. Most of it makes me want to shoot myself ... or them .... but then, I think, "gee, why bother, they'll probably shoot each other, so why do I need to be in that equasion."
Opera ... only one piece of operatic music I ever heard that blew me away. I know it's from "Madama Butterfly" and it's a duet between Butterfly and Suzuki, but I don't know what it's called. It's not the Flower Duet .... but anyway, what ever it is, it is amazing.
Hate Country Music .... except for the Dixie Chicks, and rarely I will hear something by another country artist that I do like. Having said that, I love Bluegrass ... songs like "Rocky Top" or "I'll Fly Away." Those are wonderful.
I do like Gospel music, although I am not a Christian, I do like a lot of the music associated with the faith. Some of Jars of Clay I find very enjoyable.
I have been told that I loudly hum harmony in my sleep ... but people have a hard time figuring out exactly what song I'm doing the harmony to. Although, I was able to identify the song "Drive" by Incubus as one of the songs I apparently perform in my sleep from the description that "it sounded like you were melodically shifting gears."
