I can not fathom someone not liking polka music...what is not to like? It has been shown to have some good health effects just listening to it. Well, I like melodic music ...stuff that winds around and never really produces a memorable melody is not for me. I also like a strong oompaa rhythm or waltz rhythm or something. I don't like irregular music. Jazz makes me very uncomfortable and want to leave the room. I like lyrics and I think I subconsciously listen to them to figure out if they are "good..self defined" or not but I don't really listen for the gist of the story line...I like ethnic music...Swedish, Ukranian, South African etc. mg
