What do you listen to in your Scorpio?

I was sitting in the Manchester traffic today and singing along to the CD player and I wondered what you guys listen to.
Elvis is my first love musically, my Dad was a big fan.
I've gotten into country music in the last couple of years, specifically Jimmy Buffett, Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Kris Kristofferson and Tim McGraw plus one or two others.
My eclectic collection includes Millie Jackson, Andy Williams, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, The Clash, Wreckless Eric, The Undertones and stuff that's just too embarrassing @
That's my list of shame, what's yours?

Anything really, as long as it's tuneful 
I'm a big modern jazz/soul fan, the likes of Courtney Pine, Incognito, Carleen Anderson, 4 Hero (classical vs jazz/dance heaven), Erykah Badu, Jill scott...
...
Also some lesser known stuff by people like Martha Redbone, the Rebirth...loads more I can't remember at the moment - some great new music out there, not all tuneless rubbish 
Also have some older stuff, got a couple of Steely Dan albums, some old Issac Hayes, Roy Ayers, Bob Marley and Donny Hathaway - some of his bluesy solo stuff was superb...
One of my favourite all time tracks is Naima by John Coltrane, just a classic...
Geoff, my cousin is a big Millie Jackson fan, he went to see her in Hackney years ago...he says she was a good performer but...how can I put it...said some outrageous things later in her career which would get me thrown out of this forum if I repeated . But, you can't beat the old black soul artists for true feeeling for their music...he bought a trilogy of her music from the states, the songs in order tell a story.
And yeah, I love that old jazz like Ella...voice like a bell, I don't think any vocalist could ever beat her for dynamic range. Would like to get hold of her live ad-lib version of Mac the knife, best version I ever heard 
Regards, Bruce

Neil, no, you're not normal mate...but if it meant inheriting my taste in music, clothes, cars or women, you don't want to be normal - trust me on this

I usually listening for the next thing to go wrong with the car  , wheel bearings, propshaft rumble, chain rattle, compressor squeal, Etc.
Apart from doing that, a little bit of classic rawk usually does the trick.

Being a bit of an old git and having an enthusiasm for Country Music ( tho not at the expense of other old git music)
Mary Chapin Carpenter

PS need to keep "Chapes" turned up a bit to cover the sound of the "birds" in the dash.....they constantly tweet whilst the heater/aircon is turned on......I think it's the system monitoring/adjusting itself to keep the temp.as per set. BUT it does get on your nerves eventually, I have to turn it off now and again for some true Ultima peace and quiet!
