What music does to me...

Music resonates with my soul.  It picks me up on a down day, it motivates me for training and competition,  it relaxes me after a hard day, it tunes me in when at the office and brings to mind many memories  good and sad.  Music can be very educational and has a very interesting historical element.
I personally like all genres of music.  My favorites being, progressive rock, classic rock, fusion, jazz, 60-70's R&B, 50's oldies  classical, folk, world and an array of country.
Playback will be discussed in another post.  I prefer digital (cd) because I like it loud.  But for analytical purposes I prefer analog (vinyl).  The music is so pure with analog, and with a hi-fi system you can here things you wouldn't on digital.
So what does music do for you?
