..mostly I listen to ideas/songsofmine that I am building on/mixing etc... if not then it's often film score stuff like Pirates of the caribean, harry potter, Narnia, Erragon, stuff like that. In one of my increasingly rarte rock moments these days if I do play a CD it's likely to be Division Bell by Floyd...operation Mindcrime from Queensryche or if I am feeling really nostlgic I'll put purple or Zepp on. Once a year at Xmas I always listen to Catch the Rainbow (live version) by Rainbow as it brings bacl memories of xmas's past as I got that LP at xmas when i was young.
I dont do modern stuff...in fact bands like coldplay etc just make be cringe with embarrassment for them.
