I gotta admit, while I usually don't listen to music while I'm fishing, I am a "music man" myself. I usually don't listen to music because it's only a hassle to carry anything electronic when you're stream fishing, or float tube fishing, or even shore fishing, and the boat is old, and the radio doesn't work. But if I had to take my pick, I would listen to everything from contemporary jazz, to alternative rock, to beethoven. Just so long as it isn't country (What? [shocked] a southern boy like me) and pop like Britney Spears and N'sync. I can't stand ©rap either. And opera will scare all the other fisherman away[
], but also all the fish. Anything else I will usually listen to. Some of my personal favorite artists are The Rippingtons (jazz), Billy Joel (soft rock), Chicago (Soft rock), James Taylor (soft rock), Boston (classic rock), P.O.D. (Alternative Christian rock), Nirvana (Grunge rock), Staind (Grunge rock), Bob Marley (Raggae), and a never-ending list of music. But I also have to agree, that the best music is created by the breeze or the sound of a babbling brook (next to a squealing reel of course).
