I listen to a variety of things. I prefer mixes; so I dont have to change songs. House music is a good go to; as it keeps me upbeat. I also use it while I work.
But, if not house music; then I enjoy just about anything from Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nix); the Doors; Guns N Roses; and other 'classic' rock. Heres a good go to house mix Ive been listening to for years.
