Some people listen to music every chance they get—silence is no fun! Others listen to music sometimes but enjoy silence sometimes too. And others don’t ever even think to put on music—silence is golden! Which kind of person are you? How important to you is listening to music?
If you feel like leaving a comment (which you know we always appreciate), please tell us when you listen to music. Is it in the shower? While you drive? While you cook dinner? All of the above? None of the above? And, as always, thanks for voting in the poll.
Oh, and if you do enjoy listening to music (especially roadtrip-themed music), check this playlist out (and scroll to the bottom for more).
Incredible Sonos stereo at home. Not so much on the road.
Although it’s very important to me and I enjoy it, I prefer to listen to audiobooks.
I chose once in a while but not very important. I like listening to 50 and 60’s music that I grew up with when driving. I will usually sing along to the tunes which helps me stay focused and awake.
Hardly ever listen to music and when I do it certainly isn’t songs from the last several years!!!!
I enjoy listening to music while driving. I listen to a variety of Broadway musicals and country and Rock from the 60’s and 70’s mostly.
We have music playing all the time, at home, on the road, and when camped. I hate living in a tomb!
I listen mostly when driving. I never listened to country music until I was 30. Now Willie’s Road House on Sirius/XM is what I listen to now.
Many people get smarter as they age…
Listen to a variety of music, that I keep the volume set to low so as to not impact others. Nothing worse then trying to enjoy a location and have to listen to others music ( so called) blaring away.
In previous lives I have always had the radio on when driving. Now with my wonderful wife of 7 years we talk so much a radio would interfere with our conversations.
Listening to music is very important to me, especially live music. I can’t imagine my life without it. Since retiring I have taken up guitar for my enjoyment (and the wife’s torture).
I enjoy many genres, and have playlists for specific activities and moods. I listen to the classics (rock, country, blues, etc.), but also like to explore new music. For those stuck in the past, you’re missing out on some excellent music.
I really appreciate music because music is about life, living, loving, hard times, happy times, sad times, trials, success. What is better than the 60s muscle cars and surfing music make you want to dance. 60s-70s country music, what stories of life, some I lived. James Brown and Luciouta Provonati”s “Its a Man’s World for an unbelievable mix of soul and opera. For me, it would be cloudy weather without music. However, a campground is no place for loud, booming, annoying music.
Got to have the music playing while driving around, especially in the RV. Old scool stereo and great speakers on at home, and an am / fm radio on when working out in the garage
At this point in life I am totally deaf and am fortunate to have cochlear implants. The only music I can clearly hear is live music. Music amplified over TV, radio, or stereo doesn’t work for me. If music is sent through any electrical device I am unable to hear the melody. I dislike crowds so it is rare to catch a small venue that I enjoy.
I listen to ‘walk to the beat’ music when I’m on the treadmill.
Two things necessary for me to really enjoy my visits to any campground….music, which I play a lot of bluegrass….and, news…which I MUST know to decide what to write or call in about, and how to get things done right and in a conservative fashion.
“Running Down the Highway”…I “Can” Drive 55!!!!!!…Usually 50, no hurry on the lesser roads.
Especially now that I’m just me and myself now.
Dang-it..Oh there’s another one……….
I just replaced my c.1979 Technics receiver with a c. 2023 Sony receiver. The great thing is that I can play my albums on my turntable through it AND play music on my phone through it. I almost always play music when I drive and sometimes get a few albums out and play them in the evening. I have a linear turntable to play the unwarped albums and a standard turntable to play the warped ones.
Instrumental music–often classical, but I’m just as happy with silence. The wind in the trees and birdsong is the best music.
