That's a tough one for me. I relate to a lot of older country music. Music that of like Charley Pride, Don Williams, Johnny Cash, etc. Due, I suppose, to half my families origin in West Virginia dating back to the early 18th century.
Also music like Albert Collins, Albert King, John Lee Hooker, or just about any old blues really makes my feet happy.
I'm also nostalgic about much of the music from the 50s even though I wasn't born until 1962. My mother was a saddles shoes and Bobby socks teeny bopper in the 50s. She had an an aunt and uncle who owned a record store. Back then they released new singles on a weekly basis. Every week her aunt and uncle would give the new top singles on 45s.
When I was was 5, in 1967, she gave me a sutlitcase style mono record player and two stacks of 45s about 2.5 foot high from her teeny bopper days. So my first chance to explore music on my terms was from that collection.
I'm all over the board. In my teens an older relative of my best friend passed away. His name was Tom. Tim was about ten years older than us and a dope smoking hippie Vietnam vet. My buddy Scott got all 400 of Toms LPs from the 60s and early 70s when we were just 13. Stuff like Robin Trower, The Sensatinal Alex Harvey Band, Cream, Jeff Beck, The Yardbirds, and tons if others. So we were jamming out to that when the rest of the kids were listening to crap like Kiss.
But I appreciate all well, written well composed, music from every genre other than rap or hip hop.
