While testing Google Reader I discovered a site called Marginal Revolution and a piece written by Tyler Cowen about the musical tastes of presidential candidate Barack Obama. It appears that like most people of my generation, he was shaped and is still stuck in the 1970’s though he threw in some jazz for the elitists and a little Jay-Z for the under 30’s. 

I have a fondness for the music of my childhood and pre-teen years myself. XM’s seventies channel is one of my favorites and I have plenty of oldies on my own iPod. But I have other genres and eras as well. Rob gave me a mini-drive for our anniverary and it took over twenty minutes to download my music files. Apparently if I were to play all the music I have collected from A to Zed it would take about a week.

My tunes list is mainly for running and yoga. Currently there is 80’s stuff playing but the Carpenters have snuck in as has a bit of Eminem, The Fray and Blink182.

So if you care to out yourself, what’s playing on your radio, iPod, stereo or computer these days?
