What kind of music would ______ have listened to?

Hey all! I got this random idea today at work, I think it'll be rather fun. Someone will suggest a random historical figure and we will all suggest genres/artists/songs that that person would have liked, were the music we have today available in their era.

Try to provide a link to a biography of your historical person, unless not everyone knows them, as I am about to do.

I can start, and after it seems like a few good suggestions have been made and we come to a decent consensus, someone can propose a new famous figure.

So, what kind of music would Caligula have listened to?

And this, though I hate it

Another excellent idea from the person who brought you the "Nostalgia" thread...

Hahahah lolololol Trollheart. It's so true, too.

He would be slaughtering babies or raping chicks to that lovely tune with a smile on his face. But where is that lovely horse from? Sooooo random. In terms of you will submit, I also agree. I was thinking something more akin to

People = **** by Slipknot. Cuz I'm sure Caligula had no taste.

I imagine that Caligula probably listened to this:

Whatever that is, BD, it captures the sound of Caligula's deepest sorrows. However, I like TH's suggestions better. :P

For those Dance Nights he might host. I think someone like Caligula might have been a Rave Party Animal behind the scenes.

I reckon Jesus would be a metalhead. He would be wearing a biker jacket, Morbid Angel t-shirt, black jeans and black Doc Martin boots. I reckon he would smoke weed as well. Mary Madgelene would also be his goth girlfriend.

It's because he's reputed to have made his (lovely) horse a senator....

I'm sure in his later years, he might have preferred more Neo-Classical/Neo-Folk/Martial with a dark side that's powerful.
