I'm a mood-based music lover and since most fellas say "I like it all" when asked for a pref, I usually try to go w/ something that seems to fit the vibe from our correspondence. My personal prefs for mood music:
Poe - love all of her songs! "I'm Not a Virgin Anymore" usually gets a chuckle
Joni Mitchell
Portishead
Steely Dan
Prince
3rd Eye Blind - cuz I have a "Semi-charmed Kinda Life... baby, baby!"
Aerosmith
TOOL
Fleetwood Mac
Al Greene
Marvin Gaye
Barry White
Hooverphonics - New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular! Awesome!
Beck is fun...
Joydrop
even some Drum & Bass tunes on occasion...
I know there's more but there is so much music out there these days! Love it!
