A punk rock bassist friend of mine years ago stated in print that for him, reggae music is more fun for him to play than hear. If you play any instruments, are there any kinds of music you enjoy playing that you'd rather not have to hear if you're not playing them?

Another friend who is the drummer in my church's band has spoken of how he enjoys playing certain songs our congregation sings while agreeing with me that, for usuaslly multiple reasons, they're not really any good otherwise. Are there songs and/or types of music which are integral to activities in which you're involved that you'd raher not hear (though it may be enjoyable to play them)?

In his review of a recently-released song, a writer I read regularly mentioned how that song reminded him of Tracy Chapman's 1988 hit, "Fast Car," which he said he'd rather think about that hear. Are there any songs and/or musical styles the concepts of which you'd rather engage intellectually than to have to hear them?
