Never was a big fan of the Beatles, but then again I'm in my early 20's and I used to sometimes wake up to "Strawberry Fields" playing on the radio in the morning. I nearly took a hammer to it.

Bryck I like your pic!  It reminds me of the video for Sea of No Cares!

 Personally I LOVE GBS. I listen to them almost all day.  They really help when I'm tired, worked up, excited, pretty much any mood.  I also really enjoy Colin Hay.  He's got a nice Irish accent and the album Going Somewhere is pretty chill.  I also tend to be all over the board:

Rush!
OAR
Dispatch
Bob Marley
Lately a lot of Classical and Baroque music (I'm teaching a music appreciation class)
Renaissance Masses are also relaxing
Matisyahu
311
Charlie Parker
Coltrane

Mostly Hippie stuff, but I'll listen to pretty much anything

...and I enjoy James Taylor Frozen man is my FAV song by him (closely followed by You've Got A Friend)
