It's good to have broad musical tastes--it's the equivalent of having many routes to walk to your destination; then the kidnappers never know where to find you.

Hitting shuffle on my iTunes gives me: three musicals ("Where's My Shoe?", She Loves Me; "The Ladies Who Lunch," Camp; "Pretty Women," Sweeney Todd), one oratorio ("O Grosse Lieb," Johannespassionen), three different species of folk music (Pete Seeger, "Jam on Jerry's Rocks"; Déanta, "Ready for the Storm"; The Watersons, "Pace-Egging Song"), three kinds of punk or alternative (The Pixies, "Debaser"; Division of Laura Lee, "Does Compute"; The Dresden Dolls, "Girl Anachronism"), some psychedelic rock (Jefferson Airplane, "How Do You Feel?"), some comedic folk (The Arrogant Worms, "Johnny Came Home Headless"), some unclassifiable performance music (Cirque du Soleil, "En Ville"), and a circa-1918 music-hall number (Courtland and Jeffries, "Oh! It's A Lovely War"). I suppose this makes as much sense as anything.
