We've discussed this before.

There's been talk of allowing busking in the stations, but I've never seen it. It doesn't exists on the trains. There are plenty of buskers at the entrances to the Metro though. And those are extremely busy places. If you stop, you will be in the way. There's one electric guitar guy that I've heard over the years and really enjoyed. Mostly you just listen for the 30 seconds or so it takes to get up the escalator, and then the ten more seconds as you are walking away down the sidewalk. After digging this guy for several years, I got a $20 out of my wallet one time as I was riding up the escalator, folded it up, and put it in his guitar case.

I've heard good classical music too, and enjoyed it, but never stopped to listen.
