In your favourite collection of music and favourite genre, what is the most common BPM (Beats Per Minute) for the songs?

If you don't know this, a quick way you can work it out is with Tap for Beats Per Minute BPM. Just tap a key on your keyboard in time with your songs.

My favourite BPM is 128 BPM.

i don't have a favorite BPM, all tempi are appropriate in their own ways.

I like older songs (from the 1940s through the 1970s). I have a bunch of Reader Digest Songbooks from which I like to croon aloud (not too loudly because I, unfortunately, I am not a particularly good singer :oops: :lol: _)

I sometimes sing the songs a little slower than they were originally produced. I just think that it sounds a little better. Other times, I jazz up the songs a bit and sing them a bit faster. I guess it just depends on how I am feeling and how I want the song to come across.

There is a song called "Dreamweaver" by Gary Wright. I like this song. I also like a faster version by Erin Hamilton - which is more of a dance version. They are both nice - but they have entirely different moods.

I would post both of them here, but I am a techno twit and do not know how to do that. If interested - google them and you will get a link to youtube straight away.

That's the beauty of remixes
