“If I were not a physicist,
I would probably be a musician.
I often think in music.
I live my daydreams in music.
I see my life in terms of music...
I get most joy in life out of music.”
~Albert Einstein

I'm addicted to music. I listen every chance I have; while working, while driving, while doing nothing, even while I sleep. Music is always on. Music has always been my love, inspiration and my guide. I like to listen in waves jumping around from year to year and genre to genre. My tastes vary widely but hover most often around rock and metal. Music is about how it makes you feel and the emotional journey it takes you on. I especially enjoy songs with strong melodies ...oh, and mood. I like songs that have shifting moods, dark to light, going from aggressive heaviness to soft and moody.

I listen to hard rock, heavy metal, , aor, hair metal, melodic rock, pop-metal, glam, sleaze, death metal, progressive metal, hell... I even enjoy some jazz and r&b.

Yes, I can listen to Slayer and Journey back to back and I don't care what anyone else thinks of that.
