I thought I would list a few of my favorite songs and see what other people like to listen to as well.

Please provide links to three or more of your favorite songs for all of us to listen to... : )

Thank you.

My wife loves Country like Arms of Angels, Newsboys are majorly popular of course, and I like them too. Boz Scaggs is nice and mellow with a lot of soul, though I've never heard of him before. Signature of Divine is pretty cool,





I tend to go with a lot of Hymns for music, but I also love the O.C. Supertones, I found some of their music videos though I've never seen the videos these are some of my favorite songs

We mostly tend to listen to hymns or scriptures being sung in English or Hebrew. We mostly like vocals and some acoustical music. Below are a couple examples from some of our favorites. We also like classical (orchestra) as well as some other types to.

"Chariots of Fire" one of my all time favorites! The waterfalls and lightening strikes--simply breath taking imagery. The mighty power of YHWH manifesting in His marvelous Creation!!!

It's a lot like Roy Rogers and Dale Evans music--very good stuff! The yodeling is almost a lot art!

It's folk western music; the well from which Rogers and Evans drew, and it has roots going way back. I like lots of different genre's but have a soft spot for this one.
 
I'm musically old-fashioned... Like, really old-fashioned. Baroque music is my bread-and-butter, especially instrumental music.

Bach Brandenberg Concerti (no. 2 is my favorite, but they're all great)

Bach's St. John Passion (this movement is Es Ist Vollbracht - "It is Finished")

Handel Concerto Grossi (Messiah is another favorite, obviously):

I occasionally mix it up with some Rennaisance music:

And I sing in a madrigal group. This is one of our standards:
https://youtu.be/VEXw7tk4F28

Though I also enjoy later-era symphonies:

(I could also go into soundtrack music, like John Williams and Howard Shore... but that's largely just an extension of the Romantic tradition, and no single piece stands out)

-----

My church mostly sings old-fashioned hymns, with simple piano accompaniment (I'm the pianist). Honestly, I'd be hard-pressed to name much 20th century contemporary Christian band music that I'm familiar enough with to say that I like (to be fair, the same is true for 20th century pop music as well). More often than not, I find electric guitars and drum kits can be a bit offputting for me; I just didn't grow up around that sound.

Instead, as if traditional hymns weren't old-school enough, I've recently (at the end of last year) discovered Shape Note Singing, aka Sacred Harp music. For those who don't know, it's an Early American four-part a capella folk-hymn tradition which almost died out, but has been undergoing a revival (and is now even being sung in Europe).

I absolutely LOVE this style of singing! I can only describe it as simple, full-throated, and viscerally authentic. Because it's designed for lay-folk (not professionals), and is without any instrumental accompaniment, you'll notice that the first time through each song, they just sing solfege syables (e.g. fa, so, la...), to learn their parts. Another odd quirk is that the tune names don't always reflect the lyrical content.

If you're familiar with the song "Wayfaring Stranger", it belongs to this tradition:

Idumea (apparently used in a film called Cold Mountain?)

Jefferson (you'll recognize these lyrics; they are also set to a Hayden tune)

Ninety-third Psalm
https://youtu.be/87EceGEnIyo

Africa

Redemption (this one is actually newer -1959 - but is in the same style)

I like both kinds: Country AND Western.

J/k.

I like samples from most everything but Gangster Rap.

In terms of worship and praise, boy do I have a list!! It will take me awhile to compile the even the best of the best, but in the meantime I will mention a few: Survival Plan by Rachel and Wallace Faagutu. Pretty much anything by Yamma Ebsemble. Gad Elbaz. Hashem Echad by Itzchak Orlev. None like you by Paul Wilbur. Adon Haselichot. Lamentations of Jeremiah by Clamavi De Profundis. Okay, I need to get on my list. Some of these are awesome!
 
I like 80's butt rock hair bands, 90's grunge, Billy Joel, uhhhh other stuff? I like techno/edm stuff. I like most pop unless for whatever reason it can't find a beat or some bass. pop music without oontz is the devil. I like a fair amount of reggae too. I'd post links but honestly my tastes are so normie for the most part you already know what I'm talking about. The first thing you thought of when I said reggae? That's what I listen to.
