Default What's your favorite musical period to play?

I'm curious to here what, if any, preferences people have for different music in history. I'm sort of on a baroque binge right now, so I wondered if people had a particular preference regarding what they like to play best.

I mostly play hymns so I don't really pay attention to what period anything else i play is from.
