To listen to or to play? To play: drums or guitar. Energetic and with immediate and satisfying results. To listen to: virtually anything, also largely dependent on its context. E.g., the use of horns on Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea album or in Love Is All's repertoire strikes me as brilliant, but when used in a punk/ska context it does nothing for me. Some other favourite instruments: guitar (electric or acoustic), drums, bass (fundamental, people!), trumpet, harp, harpsichord, saxophone, banjo, piano, violin (or just strings in general).
