I'm still listening to "devil music". Currently I'm alternating between R.E.M. "the end of the world as we know it" and AC/DC Powerage, Bon Scott's best. Some of the Brian Johnson era stuff is really good but, I came of age with Bon.
Sacred Music:
I like the old timey songs and hymns that my Dad would sing while he was working on stuff and not thinking about what he was singing. Those unguarded moments revealed the heart of the man. Also; The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion by William Walker. It was shape notes and if you were quiet, you could crack the door leading to the basement at my Grandparents and listen to Grandpa play piano and sing. I guess that's why I have a fondness for the old time stuff. To me contemporary sounds like an imitation of country and pop although, Southern Gospel is okay depending on who is doing, Crowns of Light, you won't find them they are an a capella quartet made up of old black dudes. The bass singer will beat box the bass lines, they bless me.
