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.

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.
