As the number of albums grow so does the eclectic-ness.
How eclectic is your music collection?

and as you start collecting 78's it gets even more eclectic.. Can't believe some of the stuff I've listened to recently... :screwy:

Like?
I pretty much have every genre of music in my collection, and I play one when the mood suites me. One day it might be Chopin, then I'll slam in Marilyn Manson after a couple of hours. Whatever turns my crank, eh?
i like multiple genres as well. and i suppose HIROSHIMA and VANGELIS would probably be considered pretty eclectic...

Great thread, everyone!
Just as the rest of you, I have a rather eclectic gathering of music. As much of a fan of vinyl as I am, I don't have any (well, 2 very hard to find LP's* I got off e-bay and am still looking for a decent TT that won't break my wallet). All of my music is (legally) downloaded and exists as MP3's in my hard drive. I have about 3000 tracks (some of which are entire albums):
How about
Barclay James Harvest
Wishbone Ash
Aphrodite's Child
Planet X
Klaus Wunderlich
Lalo Schifrin
Larry Coryell
Link Wray
Henry Mancini
Nektar
Perry and Kingsley
R. Dean Taylor
Rare Earth
Raymond Scott
Roger Powell
Sergio Mendes
Sounds, Incorporated
Stanley Clarke
Strawberry Alarm Clock
Sugarloaf
The Tubes
Three Dog Night
Throbbing Gristle
Tommy Bolin
Triumvirat
Uriah Heep
Van Der Graaf Generator
Walter/Wendy Carlos
Walter Wanderley
Weather Report
Zebra
Zombies
~~~~~~~~~~
I like all classical/symphonic, but I do have composers I favor over others:
Bach
Beethoven
Mussorgsky
Rimsky-Korsikov
Ravel
Bartok
Holst
Ligeti
Khachaturian
Mozart
Stravinsky
Tchaikovsky
I'll put a couple of film composers here although they aren't strictly "classical" they are quite symphonic:
Bernard Herrman Definite #1 place!!
Alan Silvestri
John Williams
Basil Poledouris
Danny Elfman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also like "classic" country but utterly despise this modern ca-ca bearing the questionable categorization of "country"
Tom T Hall
George Jones
Johnny Cash
Hank Williams
(others which slipped my mind ATM)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I cannot- really can NOT "do" rap/hiphop. Period.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*The two vinyl albums I have are
>EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO HEAR ON THE MOOG (but were afraid to ask for) - Andrew Kazdin & Thomas Z. Shepard {Columbia Masterworks M 30383 c.1975}
>DANCE AROUND THE WORLD - Stanley & Resa Babin {Decca Records DL 75050 c.1966?}
Both these albums are in near-virgin condition and both acquired from E-Bay.
What I'm still looking for - and will not stop until I find it! - is an LP from 1977 or '78 at the latest called ELECTRONIC INTERPRETATIONS OF THE OCCULT from a guy (or a group) who called themselves Ataraxia
