Well, hmm.

That's a hard one for me. I would say 75% of the music I hear in a day I am actually invested in (playing, rehearsing, writing, teaching), and that does funny things to the way you listen. I don't often get to just put something on, turn off the brain, and just soak in it. I'm usually listening in order to hear and correct something.

I don't listen to music on the commute or at home much. Incidental music (elevators, malls) I usually tune out, unless I'm in a really bad mood, and then it seems like the only thing I can hear.

When I do listen to music at home, it's usually with my kids, and they rock out to the classics - Aretha, Stevie Wonder, U2, Tower of Power, all of which are 100% guaranteed to put a huge smile on my face, every time.
