    I’m with Laycee somewhat.

    I enjoy a wide variety and look upon my taste as entirely mutable. No one can really claim to have much musical taste if they stick hard and fast to a particular Genre.

    I love orchestral sounds and lately have enjoyed Steve Reich’s Sextet, performed by Yale Percussion Group.

    I cannot read music but struggle with an old 80 bass Piano Accordion that at least helps with fundamentals.

    I get the bit about music and emotion and can quite easily well up listening to all sorts.

    For me, nothing touches music for evoking strong emotion!

    Look at Arnold Bocklins painting “The Isle of the Dead”, but then hear Rachmaninov’s  symphonic poem of the picture! Breathtaking!

    My answer has always been the same.

    What worked for me was an abiding love of the outdoors starting with camping trips with the scouts.

    Once you start Hill Walking and getting fit in the process, you will retain the love.

    Gymnasiums and Pools are OK to a point, but nothing beats an outdoor hobby.

    For my money, the best hobby of the lot has to be cycling. It is a win win situation.

    Have a good bike and a good pair of walking boots, then find some mates to go with!
