Marie Antoinette aka Maria Antonia Josefa Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen (November 2, 1755 - October 16, 1793) was born an Archduchess of Austria, and later became Queen of France and Navarre. I am wanting to know what songs she may have listened to during her life. I know that she was an opera fan and was a patron of the composer Gl眉ck (her music teacher). I have also read that she played the harp and harpsichord. My question is - What are some specific songs Marie Antoinette may have listened to? I am interested in listening to some specific examples.

Marie Antoinette was a great opera fan, so she must have appreciated the excellent acoustics of the Royal Opera Hall. She brought with her from Vienna a love for music that was meant to appeal to the heart, in stark contrast to French music, whose emphasis on harmony appealed more to the listener's head.
Marie Antoinette was a major champion and patron of the composer Gl眉ck, whose operas had audiences in both Paris and Versailles in tears. Despite or perhaps because of the popularity of the new music, Marie Antoinette's association with this foreign influence was used against her by enemies at court, who blamed her for the German music that stole the hearts of the French public.

I think her favorite song is "You Really Got Me" by Van Halen. But she also likes jazz a lot, so you'd find a lot of Norah Jones in her iPod.
She's also into new wave music like Indochine, but only when she's drunk.
