Im almost ashamed to admit it, but I do like modern mainstream music. Rihanna, Kanye West, Shakira, etc. At the same time, I have songs by many lesser known or older artists, such as Scott Joplin, Daler Mehndi, Tom Lehrer, etc.

Most of my musical tastes are actually not very steamy. Sting, the Police, the Monkees, Alan Parsons Project, Anonymous 4, Two High String Band, Billy Joel, Chanticleer, Enya, TSO, Artie Shaw, Glen Miller... And then my long list of classical and operatic composers. I really listen all over the place.

Least steampunk? Hmm, let's see...

It may not be as intellectual as Alban Berg's Lulu Suite, or as lushly romantic as a Divine Comedy croon, but I have a deep and abiding love of Australian garage rock, and no-one can dissuade me. Mars needs guitars and whatnot.

Scientists, Radio Birdman, Hoodoo Gurus, Lime Spiders,Died Pretty,etc.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for fuzzed out guitars and less than challenging lyrical content, AND it's great to hula hoop in my living room to.

There is nothing quite as funny as seeing me in full Captain's regalia, blasting Mad Caddies and skanking like a madman.

I pretty much own everything from Rancid to Count Basie to cheap euro dance music to pirate rap (Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew represent!).

When it comes to music I do enjoy Black Metal and medieval music.
And I like to wear pink and black together Embarassed

I have to admit a fondness for Eminem and Leonard Cohen.

Although I'm not sure if any of my preferred listening would be classed as steampunk being mainly metal, whiffly shoegazey and alternative stuff.

Captain McCannon your musical tastes look most intriguing; I must investigate this pirate rap.
