I do have my extremely subjective reasons for this of course.
Oddly, I've been listening to Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight on repeat a lot over the last couple of weeks, though admittedly usually while working on photos (and learning how to use the Aperture software). That, and Get Funky Tonight (John Butler Trio). For some reason, I'm in a Kate Bush mood at the moment, and just realised that I only ever had an album of hers on tape, and so it looks like I'm ordering some Kate Bush music online today.

Well, I would have to say that the two of us should never try to be in the same room listening to music, because one of us is almost certain to be gagging.
I think "The Mission" is one of the most beautiful things I've heard. "The Rhythm of the Saints" is not my favorite Paul Simon (that one would be "Graceland" ... ), and I can bear listening to Tom Wait's music.
The only Kate Bush song I've ever liked is "Don't Give Up" ... the duet she did with Peter Gabriel. However, I do like that song a lot. Not saying that I can't stand her singing ... just that it doesn't do that much for me personally.
Oh .... and I should put Peter Gabriel on my list .... because some of his music has brought me out of despair when nothing else seemed to work.
Most notably:
Solsbury Hill
Don't Give Up
Wallflower
Biko and
In Your Eyes
Wallflower in particular has some of the most moving lyrics ever written. Any time I've felt like there was no hope ... that's the music I listen to ... and it always makes me get back in the fight.
