It's an odd mix for me. Tom Waits, Weezer, Velvet Underground, 80's new wave and the Dead Kennedys.

I really am curious about what music everyone listens to! Not just " I listen to everything" what 3-5 bands/ musicians are your go to music.

Experience, Axis and Electric Ladyland are all incredible. I love Tom Waits and The Dead Kennedys as we.

You would love the EMP museum in Seattle Washington.  They have a whole section devoted to Jimi Hendrix, and a rotating collection of his stuff.  Wardrobe, instruments, written notes, etc.  It is totally awesome. 

I like classic rock from 60's to 70's some twisted sister as well and definately KISS
but I also like the old classics like dean martian and francis (frank) sinatra, this is due when I was growing up
my dads radio was on old time station that played the music from from the 50's my favorite sinatra song
has always been New York New York folowed by my kind of town chicago is.

I'll tell you, there are times when a few bands go into heavy rotation in my ears (most of the bands already mentioned in this post), then are dropped to make way for the next thing.
 
I favor instrumental, mostly. Lotsa jazz and ambient electronic.
 - McCoy Tyner is a fave jazz pianist and truly a go-to source of music which will tune my soul, whenever needed.
 - Tangerine Dream, while not really ambient, have made tracks that not only get me going but also take me back to the 80s with those tunes with the thumping double-time bass line (and also the soundtrack to Risky Business).
 - And I would top it off with Jimi Hendrix, whose first three albums helped define the groove in my life, and the more recent sets (like Black Gold) which reveal his improv jams and offers lessons in letting go and cutting loose.
 
I would like to add Production Music sounds as something that offers tremendous retro appeal. You can find some on YouTube.
This background music to 60s-70s commercials and movies in complete album format from DeWolfe, Bruton, Rouge and other companies was a revelation to me.
I listen to this whenever I can.

I'll be watching this later! 5200 is an incredible system! I just need to do some work on my controllers, the Trakball is very nice though.

And my latest Arcade USA Minisode

Ar-kay and I are getting ready to record episode 1 which we will talk about the pack in games for the 5200.  Super Breakout and Pac Man.  If anyone wants to submit any audio or written memories for the episode, please send them to atari5200superpodcast@gmail.com.  Ar-Kay loves getting emails about the 5200    and is looking forward to reading and/or playing them on the show 
 
Episode 0 was a podcast overview with some 5200 console talk, so if you have anything to submit about the 5200 console in general please send it in 
 
Thanks!

I've posted a lot more review since my last post. Here are some of my faovrites including the ultra rare River Patrol (2600) the crazy-fun Fast Food (2600) and the classic that deserves more attention Food Fight (7800)
 

I also have and intellivision that work great, it's a little dinged up and the foil is missing on one controller, but still looks great in it's woodgrained glory. 

Deleted and made an updated list.
