Right now my main focus is listening to Space Rock, Stoner Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Krautrock, Doom Metal, and PsyTrance. I will however listen to anything from Black Sabbath to Sarah Brightman and any style in between that suits my current mood.

My favorite music styles include: Space Rock, Krautrock, Stoner Rock/Stoner Metal, Blues-Rock, Hard Rock, Psychedelic, Prog Rock/Art Rock, Experimental Rock, Doom Metal, and various jazz styles. I also really like fusions of popular music with ethnic and regional styles from around the world.

I rate songs based upon a simple rating system of:
5 star - love it
4 star - like it
3 star - okay
2 star - don't like it
1 star - hate it
My overall rating for an ALBUM will be an average of the song ratings. My album ratings will tend to be higher than the RYM average because most of my ratings will be albums I collect. I normally do not keep albums that I do not like. However, I will rate albums that I have not collected if I have heard enough to give a fair assessment.
