Does your taste in live music match up with your taste in recorded music?

I ask because I notice that these days I increasingly tend to favor different types of music for listening at home as opposed to seeing live. For live music, I’m usually interested in something rock oriented, some punk stuff, just something energetic that gets the blood flowing and the excitement level going up. Occasionally I will see some classical music or something laid back, but my regular live music diet leans heavily on more aggressive music…usually in some bar somewhere….like the upcoming Joan Jet show in a couple weeks.

When I listen at home, I tend to much more likely go for something mellow like maybe some jazz or electronic music or reggae…maybe some Dylan or something. I guess I just don’t really care to generally listen to something at home to get all excited about and then just sit in a chair. I occasionally listen to more aggressive music on recordings, but it’s often when getting ready to go out somewhere with a couple drinks, or in the car heading somewhere. Seldom do I grab that Black Flag LP to just spin when puttering about the house.

So…am I alone or do others of you listen to different types of music in your home than when out and about?
