   omg, RAP is not music.  The rapper usually just rambles in the     
   same note, same 4:4 time.  There might be an occassional bridge     
   or chorus with some background singers who actually sing, but     
   that's about it.  To me, most rap all sound the same.   
      
   One rap tune I *do* like: Gangsta's Paradise -by- Coolio.  The     
   chorus is well designed, and there's actual singing in parts of     
   it.

   Did not know about the DP classical-trained connection.  Can't     
   say I'm a fan, but Smoke on the Water had my attention back in     
   the day.

   PB's classical-trained I *did* know.   
      
      
    C> Freddy Mercury, too, had a special voice, as did the Frank

   I've Never been crazy about Mercury or Queen, but I did not     
   escape the grip of the Bohemian Rhapsody. I liked many of Frank     
   Sinatra's tunes.

   I never research the music video of any tune.  Often that would     
   ruin my perceived imagery.  A video that depicts the actual     
   performance like Edie Brickel - What I Am, is all that is     
   required, for me.   
      
   I rarely listen to music just in the background while doing     
   something else. I would do as you, put on the music and sit     
   back and enjoy.
