Everything from Howlin Wolf to Yo-Yo Ma to Sheryl Crow, he tells the new issue of Rolling Stone. And I have probably 30 Dylan songs on my iPod.
His musical hero?
"It would have to be Stevie Wonder, said the Democratic presidential nominee (and Us Weekly cover star), who grew up rocking out to the Rolling Stones and Earth, Wind & Fire.
He said Jay-Z "is a brilliant talent and a good guy.
"Hes serious and he cares about his art," he added. "Thats somebody who is going to start branching out and can help shape attitudes in a real positive way.
His overall take on rap: "I am troubled sometimes by the misogyny and materialism of a lot of rap lyrics, but I think the genius of the art form has shifted the culture and helped to desegregate music."
He added, "It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying that they were getting bad images of themselves."
He previously told Us that his daughters are "very sensible" when it comes to music.
"They're pretty down on Britney and Paris and all of that," he told Us. "They think that's very 'yuck.' They're way more into Hannah Montana and Beyonce. They got to go backstage and meet Beyonce and they just love her to death."
