Pretty much what everyone's already said and more. It's been said of my music collection "No matter what you like, there's something in there to piss you off!" From ABBA to Zappa, from Bach to the Buzzcocks. You like Exotica? I'll break out the Dead Kennedys & Lawnmower Deth. You like Punk & Speed Metal? I'll break out Stephen Bishop & Warren Zevon. You like Singer/Songwriters? I'll break out Space Explosion & Hawkwind. You like Prog? I'll break out Mississippi Fred McDowell & Tampa Red. You like Yodeling/Kazoo-playing Bluesmen? I'll break out Charles Ives, Charles Mingus, Charles Manson, etc.

My wife's come to dread turning on the car after I've been playing CDs. This past week I've been playing Dutch & Belgian popular music from the Early '50s, 24-7 Spyz, Rush, live Hawkwind from the Mid-'80s to the Early '90s, Daisycutter, Skin Yard, Bukka White, & the Ramones.
