You know, I always find these threads interesting because I see new artists that I've never heard of out here in the midwest.

Personally, I like the 'vintage' Hawaiian sounds. And I've ALWAYS been into big band era stuff; The Dorseys, Glenn Miller & all that.
But I also always have a '50's - '60's rock / surf sound going as well...when I was growing up, I didn't have a radio, I simply had a 45 player and a bunch of my father and uncles oldies. Still have them.

Standard Sinatra / Rat Pack is soothing. Always on! Right in front of a Stray Cats / Brian Setzer or Lee Rocker disk and right behind a blues set by Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf or Elmore James.

I frequently switch between vinyl and disk, with appreciation for both.

Interesting topic! Like some of you have already said, to sit here and list all of my favorites would just annoy everyone and make my wrists hurt.
