Well, it depends on what instrument you're talking about. I like D major, especially on the violin, it's very bright and sounds good on the violin. G major's pretty good too, although not quite as cheerful. A minor is cool, so are D minor and E minor. G minor is alright, I don't know, I don't always like it too much. C minor is very dark. Sometimes the flat keys can be nice, if you're going for a soft, gentle sound, although they're a pain to play on the violin. Keys with a bunch of sharps, like A major and E major, are very bright and happy. They can be fun to play. Overall I think D major and A minor would be my favorites.

My favorite key is B Major. I'm a guitarist, so the obvious "big" keys are E and A. But in B, you can get a some nice open "ringing" chords, big fat power chords, and great "strummy stuff".
And even songs I hear on the radio in the key of B Major just sound a little "bolder" to me (I don't have perfect pitch, but I have great relative pitch, and I can hear a few notes in my head really well, so can "simulate" perfect pitch"). And because it's not as overused a key as A, E, or C, it just sounds a little "fresher" to my ears.

A minor. It's the perfect minor scale. Also, when learning about scales for percussionists, it's most often the first minor scale learned, because it's all played with the natural keys.

C sharp minor--but it depends on the song, too--lots of great songs in lots of different keys
What do you get when a piano falls down a mine shaft?

I'm with you on C minor. Rather fond of G minor too.

For vocal music, it obviously depends on the range of notes involved.
In piano music, I actually like C-flat -- every note is flatted! I'd rather just be ON the black keys instead of hitting the damned things by mistake. :-)

I actually think in the key of C and transpose everything from there. I literally hear the notes in my head, so that makes it interesting when I transcribe music.

Db. It's a very rich and warm key on the piano, and since we are used to C, it really stands out.

I like to sing in G, except for rock'n'roll, which I prefer in A. Folk fiddle is best in D or G.
