I have no favorite era, I enjoy all music that is pleasant to listen to. Different moods call for different tunes. For some examples: My friend owns a lake house and when all of our friends go up their every 4th of July, the week is strictly "dad tunes." Which includes massive amounts of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Creedence Clearwater Revival, some Isley Brothers, Gladys Knight and the Pips, etc. Shit you listen to if you were born in the 60's. Some good shit man. If I'm playing poker with my friends, it's Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Ray Charles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc. Partying? Waka Flocka, Chief Keef, Lil Durk, Future, Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Diplo, etc. Alone, doing some thinking? Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Logic, MF DOOM, Atmosphere, Asher Roth, various deep house artists, Metallica, some ska/reggae-rock, Third Eyed Blind, The Offspring, etc. I don't like to constrict myself in one genre, although I would say I'm predominantly a rap listener, and I really enjoy the direction modern rap is going, a number of lyricists getting big recognition, which in turn influences future music.
