For "laundry music," I listen to old/new country, oldies (60's, 70's, 80's), classic rock, and some alternative. All depends on what kind of washer you're using...LOL
As for bands, Hank Williams, Hank Jr., Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, George Strait, Steppenwolf, The Doobie Brothers, The Beatles, Green Day, Oasis, Smash Mouth, White Stripes, & The Vines to name a few. Although anyone who looks at my music database sees a lot more artists!

I used to have a record...
It was called "Music to wash clothes by"
I really do not remember much about the music on it- I think it was soothing muzak type instrumentals

Don't listen to music while the washer is going-its sounds are "music" enough..My Hi-Fi is too far away-all the way at the other end of the house.
The love of Music!!
I don't listen to music while doing laundry either. I pay my weekly bills and listen the sounds of the washing,which I find relaxing,and a class of music in itself.(sooths the pain of paying bills too!!) LOL!
While not doing laundry I listen to:
NPR at work
Classic Rock,1930's/1940's big band,classical,and hip hop at home
NPR and hip hop in the car
Hip hop and rap at the gym
Thank's
Rick

I love music!!!
I love everything from classical to alternative rock and everything in between except....country, dixieland, and rap!
Fav song right now... Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day (especially the mix with Wonderwall by Oasis and Dream On by Aerosmith).
I used to be a part-time disc jockey at a rock station in Houston, so I am partial to rock/alternative.

When the washer is on--
The soothing sounds of Maytag are sufficient.
When I am listening to music, I love singer songwriters-- Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, the McGarrigles/Wainwrights, The Corrs....
However, I am far from a fan of Madonna, and most of what passes for contemporary dance music does NOT appeal to me at all.
I like a few Broadway musicals, but not many. Big fan of "RENT" and "Avenue Q."
I like big band swing (the real stuff) and "cocktail lounge" for dancing. And I do dance, when I can find a man who also likes to dance.

I am a Music lover.
I got that from my mom. I played her records more than she did growing up. If not watching the washer I was playing the records. Dean Martin, Doris Day, Bing Crosby, Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass. Then I started on Sis's records, Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Fifth Dimension, the Beatles. Then in high school found my love of Disco music. The BeeGees, Thelma Houston, Cher, later on Madonna, Rick Astley. Right now I am Really Enjoying MICHAEL BUBLE(booblay)HE does the old jazz standards great!<P> In the Car and at the pottery Studio the radio stays on NPR. At home Just a mix of all the great music i enjoy on the computer or stereo. <p> I love a lot of different kinds of music from country to Classical to disco. I was really partial to House music in the late eighties. A group of friends and I were frequenting a Club in Dallas called the Stark.<P> I love to DANCE. Love to swing dance, line dance, two step, polka, waltz. Needless to say through my life I have been kept quite busy by the ladies with bf's or hubbys who would not dance. And they loved me for it.
In college my P.E. required courses I took were: Folk and Square Dancing, Ballrooom Dancing, Aerobic Dancing, and Weight lifting. Ran out of P.E. dance courses, had to do something!

When I am not doing wash-I primarily watch movies on DVD or laserdisc.when I do listen to music-I like a little of everything.Lately I have been listening to a Spanish Station playing their music-Its so HAPPY and upbeat-unlike most Amreican station playlists nowadays--BOOOERING and DEPRESSING!!!Then listen to my own selections of Band Oregan music-classic organ,Cinema organ,Polkas,(Too bad radio stations don"t play those)But I DON'T miss most 70's and 80's,90's type music.Manned and babysat a commercial station Tx site that played 70's,80's music-got tired of it.Esp DISCO -hate that stuff.A couple selections of it were OK though.I also liked the records my mother played as a kid-had her act as my "DJ" most of the time-at that age I wasn't allowed to play the stereo.Lots of Limeliters,Kingston Trio,Harry Belefonte(now have these recordings-can play as needed)

Music
My music taste is VERY eclectic and broad. John Philip Sousa to Jimi Hendrix. Frank Sinatra to Prince. Peggy Lee to Diana Ross. Glenn Miller to Miles Davis. Big Band to Motown. The Jordanaires to James Brown. Ray Charles to Madonna. Classical to Country & Western. Have a hard time not getting misty-eyed when Patsy Cline sings. Danced my butt off in the Disco era. When I play a batch of 45's you'll NEVER guess what type of song will be next to play. I've been this way since I knew what a record was.

Two words
BURT BACHARACH!
Ahhh.. the lite adult pop sounds of the 60s. Just the kind of music you'd expect a houswife in the 60s listen to. Which leads me to two more words:
Dionne Warwick
Yes I know she got busted for hoochie but her songs speak to the 60s housewife in all of us. "Walk On By" "I say a little prayer", "Message to Michael", "Make It Easy On Yourself", and it goes on.
Also, as for washing, I keep it 60s adult pop such as Tom Jones, The 5th Dimension, Jackie DeShannon, Dusty Springfield. Of course I might add some Beatles or old country.
Speaking of country, Westy, your music list ROCKS! I'm SO glad to see young'uns like you listening to REAL country. Hank Sr & Jr., Patsy Cline, Earnest Tubb , Bob Wills (Texas Swing!), Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, George Jones, now that's country. New country is good too. Vince Gill, Toby Keith, Joe Nichols (he has a song "Farewell Party" on his new album that about as classic as it gets. Steel guitars, fiddle and everything).
And then sometimes I just like to listen to Sir Frigemore and Lil' Lady make their own music.

Hi Bob,
Mom was a late-night DJ on Rock 101 KLOL in Houston from '83-'85 after she worked at Coastal. Wow, there were some crazy stories (ask her one day)! She still has her jacket too. It might pull some bucks on eBay considering KLOL is a Mexican station today, unfortunately. That was very sad for all of us; I listened to KLOL occasionally and they played good rock on there.
The change from 95.7 KIKK FM (EXCELLENT country station) to The Wave Jazz was just as unbearable, but I eventually got used to it since smooth jazz is good. This I'm not so sure about...
Why is it that the good stations are always eliminated?

WTIX is still alive
The land of rust rocks to TIX FM. Well, it used to be WTIX 690 AM. The mighty 690. Well, they went talk and sometime in the early 90s they got on FM and now they're oldies. The good news is they're independant and play whatever they want to play. So you'll hear the stray vintage country song or some obscure rarity from the 60s, which is a good thing.

OMG Austin, I probably did listen to your mom. I did listen to KLOL. And that's a shock about KIKK, it'd been Country since I've been on this earth. Altho I maligned KIKK in Jr. High & High School.

You can also have too much of a good thing. I live between Memphis (home of Elvis) and a little further south Missippi(birthp;ace of the blues),Jackson(home of rockabilly Carl Perkins) and Nashville(country misic capitol). But of all this music availiable all our good stations are country which, by having it forced on me I have come to despise! We had a good public radio station which played classicle but the last big tornado damaged it and now I barely get it. Would love to hear jazz classics. Sometimes I tune to Moontaxi on the internet,but I`m on dialup so its kinda choppy.

I have a good friend in Senatobia, Ms, which I don't think is too far from you.... he's about 45 min from Memphis & maybe 20 min from Tunica, the casino hotspot. I haven't been there in about 8 years, so we hit Memphis & Nashville that trip. Have you ever heard of a restaurant called Dale's, which is ouside Tn, in Miss.? I remember the fried picles they had there- fantastic. We don't get anything like that in the Northeast
