There's a book thread, which of course makes sense since we're all "write" minded, but nobody is discussing music. Hey writers, music is poetry too! So what do you spin when you're in the mood for some quality tunes? I am really into a genre called kosmigroov, which is free form ecstatic jazz, usually with a spiritual or "cosmic" vibe. Some of the main artists under this umbrella are John & Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Don Cherry, and Carlos Santana. Kosmigroov was primarily an early to mid 1970s phenomenon, but there are artists today still using the voice of jazz to speak of transcendence. But it's brain-busting stuff, and not really for sing along fun. When I want that, I listen to folk of all kinds - folk rock, psych folk, acid folk, neo-folk - you name it, I probably like it. Probably the weirdest collection of music I have is a bunch of commune recordings from the late 60s and early 70s.
