It's remarkable how varied my taste in music is, sometimes I'm in the mood for #Classical music, sometimes I like #Deathcore, then a #Gabber moment hits me and I go diving into #OldSchool #Hardcore and #Techno, then other times I might get #Soft and put on #PowerBallads by bands like #Metallica, #WhiteSnake and #Firehouse

I even have a #MichaelBuble and #JoshGroban playlist in my apps..

I think I can honestly say I'm open for all music and I love most of it!
