I listen to everything - K-pop, J-Pop, Chinese traditional, Jazz, Dubstep, Classical...

What stories do you have about introducing someone to a different style of music? What do you like about that genre? What does it help or motivate you to accomplish?

Finnish Folk Metal.

Behold Korpiklaani's Wooden Pints. It features a creepy General Zod looking lead fiddle player, a crab-walking rhythm guitarist and a gripping turkey-leg eating sequence.

That's a great song, CPT! Kind of reminds me of Flogging Molly or Deadeye Dick

Pretty much anything and everything, I love the fact that my kids are into all the same music my wife and I are which ranges anywhere from Rush to Billy Joel to Kiss to Andrew Lloyd Webber to classical piano to AC/DC. Talk about extremes.

SFC Laws, my wife has seen it 8 times, twice with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman, 4 times with me, and my children love the music. To say she loves ALW is and especially Phantom is an understatement. My children have seen the movie version but we're hoping to take them to NYC to see it this year. Nothing like live theater!

There is so much, "stuff" they call music today. I try to have an open mind and respect other's choices, but IMHO, its all about the sensationalism and less about the music. all the competition shows, all these "multi-talented", (and I use the term loosely) self centered "artists" just doesn't cut it with me. And as you point our SrA Miller, there is NOTHING like the classics - music as it was meant to be.

Like you SGT Spartley, I love every genre and type of music there is. I have moods where I will listen to a certain group or genre. Introducing my daughter to traditional Chinese was interesting. I must say she surprised me, usually she goes to her bedroom and shuts the door, but she liked several of the selections I introduced her to. Although she isn't ready to run out and purchase any, she does tolerate it when I am playing it. I love classical music for the relaxing qualities of it. Traditional Chinese is similar to classical and I find it good to relax to, or study to.

If I am working outside or around the house, anything upbeat. My playlist covers about every genre there is. Music feeds the soul, and can lift the spirits.

I downloaded several from You Tube and I am not sure who the artists are. All I have listened to as far as traditional Chinese is concerned are awesome.

I have a favorite popular Chinese artist. residence A, these kids are awesome. I can't understand a word the say, but their music rocks.

Here is a couple links, first is for traditional Chines, and the second is Residence A.
