Am I allowed to not like classical music? Does it disqualify me from being a tradcat?
The only thing close I like is Palestrina, polyphony and sacred chant from Roman and Orthodox traditions.
Otherwise, I like Irish music, old-timey Appalachian music, choral music, Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians, Sing Along with Mitch (Miller), around the campfire music from my childhood, old English ballads, swing music, popular music from the ‘30’s-‘50’s, Patsy Cline, the Lennon Sisters, Buddy Holly, (NO Elvis!), Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Peter, Paul, and Mary, American folk music, some folk-rock or softer rock, Simon and Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills, Bash and Young, Cat Stevens before he went Muslim, mid-1960’s amateur garage rock of the more melodic type if feeling silly, some Motown, some 60’s-present rock/pop, a few alternative bands from the 90’s, 2000’s, REM, Gin Blossoms, assorted individual songs.
ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY METAL, DEATH METAL, RAP, HIP-HOP, anything with obscenities, descriptions of sex acts, murdering cops or your grandmother, anything against the Catholic religion or Jesus, Mary, the Saints, that which is holy, nothing praising idols, etc. A big NO to any music that is just raunchy.
I’m not into jazz, opera, country and western, but these last three I don’t consider evil, they’re just not my taste.
I admit to liking The Medical Missionary Sisters, early V2, but NOT for Mass! I learned those songs at summer camp.
