How much of your music listening is classical?

[karlhenning]

I see that I voted 95%. In fairness, I should probably emend that to 90%.

Do you own the CDs "Gershwin Plays Gershwin" and "Zez Confrey Rolls", produced by Artis Wodehouse for (I think) Warner? They are mandatory: utterly brilliant playing by the giants of the 1920s, in modern DDD sound. 

Picked up the Gershwin not all that long ago, sheer delight.

85%

There's plenty of fun stuff in my collection besides classical, despite Harry:
- Traditional music from China, Lebanon, Turkey, Hungary, and  Kentucky
- Klezmer (Finjan!)
- Latin jazz (Tito Puente!)
- Simon Shaheen's brilliant Arab jazz album
- Brazilian guitar
- Great singer/songwriters: Jim Croce, Paul Simon, Randy Newman, John Denver
- Old-style jazz

I see that I voted 95%. In fairness, I should probably emend that to 90%.

Or, possibly, to 85%.

I voted 85% — it's probably a bit higher these days, but in any given year I have short phases of renewed interest in the experimental end of electronic dance music, or synthpop (the 80's were my teenage years), or some elements of indie rock (Deerhoof, most recently). I also listen very occasionally to other "classical" traditions such as Indian and Thai music but am not including this in my 85% estimate.
