I know you couldn't include everything, but I'm very surprised that you left out blues.
Anyways, my core is always rock, and I branch off from there in various directions.
I have gotten in to some indie/alternative stuff. I listen to one or two hiphop bands (artists?). Classical music is good now and then. Soundtrack stuff can be great, but that's a HUGE and very general category. Some blues of course. Dunno what else...
I listen to allot of types of metal i.e death metal, melodic metal, grind core, hard core and black. But I also listen to punk i.e misfits reagan youth dead kennedys and sub-hu-manz .

Very similiar taste here,I listen to alot of Metal of various sub-genres (Dimmu Borgir,Devildriver,Hatebreed,Biohazard, Lamb of God,etc) as well as "classic" metal (W.A.S.P.Maiden,Judas priest),but my roots are in punk (Misfits,Dead Kennedys,Exploited,G.B.H, The Clash,Ramones,Sex Pistols as well as Classic Oi! such as Blitz,Last Resort,The Business and such)
I've also got a passion for "Irish Punk" such as The Tossers and Dropkick Murphy.
I listen to most stuff. More blues, rock, and classical over metal and country. Theres a few genres I absolutely hate.
Anything out of japan
Power metal
Death/black metal
and hipster techno garbage such as crystal castles.
I enjoy mostly rave/techno music, especially the more underground genres (drum'n'bass, hardcore etc). But I also love industrial and a good bunch of metal bands
In my oddity moments, I listen ambient, triphop, IDM and other more weird stuff
The only rap I listen to is a little bit of Tech N9ne and some Sugar Hill Gang. I love all kinds of rock and some kinds of metal. Cookie Monster music doesn't do it for me most of the time.
In high school, I was a massive metal head. College changed that; now it's pretty much pop/rap/pop rock/country/dance. I don't know if this is an improvement or not...
I love rock,hard rock,heavy metal,neo-classical metal,grunge,speed metal,progressive rock,instrumental rock,psychedelic rock and I hate pop,dance,house etc...
Barring rap, which just gives me an almost instantaneous headache no matter what the song, I'll give anything a go once. My favourite genres to listen to, though, have to be classical, symphonic metal (Nightwish and the like), jazz, celtic, and various instrumental soundtracks =)
Industrial and electronica. EBM, IDM, Coldwave, Aggro, Breakbeat, EDM, Jungle, D'n'B, Noise, Ambient, Electro and Pound. Also I like a dash of gothic-western as well. I download a session of Cyberage radio once or twice a week to listen to in my car.
I'm a big Tom Waits fan, I dig his older stuff the most, the stuff he did back in the Asylum records days; also love the band "Morphine", those guys were great. Dig old punk stuff from the late 70s, or early 80s, Iggy and the Stooges, the Ramones, etc..plus early glam, Lou Reed, David Bowie.Also stuff from the 60s, Donovan, the Who, Stones,Dylan,Patto, the Castaways, the Animals, the Band. Anything that makes you feel groovy. Oh yeah!, and lets not forget the greatest performer ever.... (no, not Elvis, Cher or Barbara Striesand) I am speaking (of course) about Neil Diamond.
Meh,I have mixed feeling concerning rap/hip hop..
I like some of the older stuff, KRS-ONE,Tupac and B.I.G, but most "recent " rap/hip hop bores the feth out of me..at it's best it's a watered down imitation of much better preformers and at it's worst it's a shopping list set to beats.
SPLIT YER LUNGS WIFF BLUD AND FUNDER!!! Mastodon is ok, too much cookie monster for me, but i can enjoy them at a lot of times.
I actually like some rap. The 'anything but rap and country' kids are often a joke as they listen to a fair amount of metal, which is equally bad. And dont tell me 'but eidolon, metal uses the same structure as classical music, so its intellectual!!!'. Thats like saying the jonas brothers are as good as stevie ray vaughan or eric clapton, because their music follows a 12 bar system.
Go listen to wu tang clan, eazy e, tech n9ne, immortal technique, older three six mafia.
Several of the genres listed (metal being foremost among them), plus a few that weren't. Most are in between two genres I already picked, so I won't go into one of those 5 billion ultra-specific subgenre listings. For fun, I decided to randomize my library (I've ripped some of my CDs, so there are only about 50 or so albums missing.) and see what the first 10 things to come up would be. I got: Rancid, Sepultura, Madlib, Ministry, Radiohead, Combichrist, Jaco Pastorius, Korpiklaani, Dark Nebula, and Daath. Pretty varied spread that should give some indication of varied taste. I tend to go in waves, where some weeks are nothing but black metal, then I'll randomly end up on a 3 day happy hardcore/gabber/rave-y techno bender.
I do also have specific music for specific things. I've been that nerd playing power metal in the background of his D&D campaign, or playing Unreal Tournament to a playlist of good old fashioned fraggin' music (Powerman 5000, Fear Factory, Rob/White Zombie, and the like). Sometimes I have a COMPLETELY inexplicable urge to listen to LeFunkBoat (a random funk/techno/dance station I found online) while doing the dishes. I barely ever listen to funk. Go figure.
"It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album. "
I also study music composition and therefore like everything except ragtime and completely balls stuff that shouldnt exist.
p.s. Church burning is great, but May fall under the category of not being polite, civil or respectful?

Eidolon, metal does much more than just follow structures of classical music. But they're are an awful, awful lot of terrible metal bands out there. I really wouldn't advise things like Wu Tang Clan, but on an interesting note, check out this vid that features their singer, only they're ten gizzillion times better than them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MtKvVm-dJY
On the whole metal thing tho; the energies in metal are second to none when used as a device in performance practice within precision issues in instrumental virtuosity.
or..
Playing ANY other style of music is so much easier after youve learnt how to play metal, because of the mental approach taken on learning and playing. (Its all that happy aggression in conjunction with precission).
I understand your point. But I have heard people use the 'metal is like classical' excuse to justify listening to such trash as dragonforce, devil wears prada, that kind of stuff.
Good music is good music, you can find it in any genre. And metal tends to be harder to play most rock and what not. However classical guitar is in my opinion king of guitar in terms of technical skill. And a lot of the virtuosity in metal simply revolves around playing fast. Which while difficult, I am not trying to knock someone who can play 13 notes a second or whatever, its musically boring when done all the time. Good musicians not only are technically skilled, but know when to employ those skills. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwnYkg6CvcA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYD_VxfTltM&feature=related I apologize for the bad quality on those, they were filmed in 1984 on RCA handheld video.
Streetlight Manifesto to Lily Allen to The Creepshow to Elton John to Iron Maiden to Rise Against to Megadeth to The Specials to Bruce Springsteen and back again, and beyond.
I'm an Industrial/EBM/Cybergoth DJ.... so in an effort to pick what's closest, I went with Techno, Metal, Emo and Trance, though none of those really cover it, haha!
Metal would be winning. I know that me and all my boys LOVE Metal. It gets the blood pumping and the energy going in order to kick some serious a** in a battle
metal all the way , for now it's Equilibrium , my kids ( 3 and 5 years old ) love Alestorm and nightwish , but i prefer the black , trash all that stuff
and when i paint i put on the hardest metal i have , keeps me calm...
I like stuff that tells a story, for the most part. So, Dylan, Springsteen, early Tori Amos, Woody Guthrie, Queensryche (Operation: Mindcrime 4tw) and the musical version of War of the Worlds all get some play.
Rock and metal when I need to get stuff done or just plain ol' vent.
I'll give most stuff a whirl - but will avoid anything favoured by neanderthals wearing Burberry.
see the thing about death/black metal or christian metal is they both seem to be at odds with each other.
in the words of my favorite christian metal band, devil wears prada - "Look to the sky. Encourage the elements of God, Rather than the jars that contain them."
and then in the words of my favorite death metal band, bring me the horizon - look up to the sky, there may be nothing there to see. But if I don't believe in him, why would he believe in me?
and finally, i leave you with this, NO band, no matter how distasteful or ethically incorrect you think they are, can beat ( in terms of jesus thats gotta be blasphemy) Gorgoroth. their music vid. for carving the giant, is sick, twisted and pretty scary. I wouldnt watch it.
anything less than gorgoroth isnt worth complaining about.
to conclude, my fav. music is scream core, orheavy metal/industiral.
I would have to say rock.... with a slight metal slant.
I just cant go for things like cannibal corpse and similar things (sounds like darth vader is the singer) - but I love disturbed etc.
Also dragonforce for its novelty value. And Tenacious D rock so hard lol, they are great.
I basically like anything with tolerable music and lyrics I can follow and enjoy.
Comment: That new "fireflys" song makes my head hurt. I hate it mainly because the lyrics make absolutely no fething sense. I don't know why but the main part of a piece of music for me is the lyrics that go with it. Anything that tells a good story is good for me
I'm astounded, a warhammer forum where there isn't at least a 50% metalhead population?! *only slight sarcasm*
But yeah, I am DEFINITELY a metalhead, through and through. I didn't start with metal though, or even rock... I started with rap, because that's what my older brother and sister listened to. I started listening to rock n' roll only after I heard the song Way Away by Yellowcard on a compilation album. It's funny, because I thought that song was SOO F***ING HEAVY and I would listen to it over and over as loud as it would go. I started listening to rock after that, and it was only a freak chance event that got me into metal. I've always used first DRD and later MasterDRD as my nickname for everything, and one day while half asleep in the passenger seat of a car with a rock station on, I heard my name being called. "Master, Master!" That song was Master of Puppets. I looked it up and it was by Metallica, a band my best friend had introduced me to before. His only mistake was only showing me St. Anger... *shudder* Anyway from there it snowballed, and today I headbang with the best of 'em.
I dont mind any music to be honest .I dont think music is a serious thing , so I dont care what I listen to .I consider my favourite artist to be Marilyn Manson however. I find his lyrics to be smart and interesting .Especially Anti christ album , its sort of based on the ideals of Nieztch the Birth of tradgegy .
I only put other because there wasn't an option for everything. If you love music it's so hard to be so focused on one genre. I love it all and even if a genre isn't your favourite there is still always something cool to hear or learn.
Metal for me, also Neue Deutsche Härte, particularly Rammstein and I do listen to the occasional bit of Kraftwerk, also, the Lord of the Rings soundtrack and Nightmare Before Christmas are listened to quite a bit as well....
Ipod on random: Romantic era German opera, Children of Bodom, Matthew West.
Rock, 60's and 70s rock, symphonic/power/speed/classic/melodic death/folk metal, Christian, Jazz, New Age/Trance, Techno/dance, classical/romantic/baroque/neo-classical(sometimes), Jazz, Swing, Acoustic emo...
I listen to:
Nu-metal (RATM, Mushroomhead, Mudvayne, Deftones, Slipknot)
Emo (Sunny Day real Estate, Smashing Pumpkins, AFI)
Industrial (Skinny Puppy, Ministry, NIN, Filter)
Grunge (Alice In Chains, STP, Nirvana, Soundgarden)
Bit of metalcore (A7X, Killswitch Engage, BFMV)
Tool
U2 (Achtung Baby !!)
Can't forget Metallica and Depeche Mode
Bands I can't stand: Blink-182, No Doubt, A day to remember, Fall out boy
Giggles,
Mr. Self Destruct
i listen to anything really, but mainly rock. the only genre i have a real problem is with gangster rap. eminem is ok, but i prefer rap metal, rock, classic rock, punk. my favourite group is linkin park, followed by metallica. after that its just alot of bands. i just can't stand fall out boy or lost prophets
Can you add blues rock to the mix, ACDC is pretty much the only fully fledged blues rock band, but there is snatches from a few people metalica, twisted sister, etc.
Metal! specially DEath, Black, Viking & Folk, but with room for classics and more "light" styles, i also like classical.... don't ask me why.... i will don't know the answer
Listen almost exclusively to BBC Radio3
so Classical mainly but also Jazz and World (includes Folk and odds and ends some uncaterizable - is that even a word?)
Still occassionally dip back into some prog for old times sake.
It's amazing after reading so many comments about rock and metal you'd think you'd see more people voting for it on the polls.
And now I feel somehow out of place.
I like Classical music (like symphonies and whatnot), blues, grunge, punk, pop, rock, metal, techno, indie, hip hop, some rap.... but none of the actual hardcore stuff...
The first CD I ever listened to was Billy Tallent 2 from the library a couple of years ago. Before that I was content with listening to the radio or to whatever my friends gave me.
I don't like screaming in my music, but yelling is fine. It's kind of hard for me to explain but that's how it is.
Where's the Hardstyle?!?!?!
I know my techno genres but when it comes to the others (rock, metal) I get lost...
Me, I'm the kind of person that sits on the fence. Nothing too death-y, nothing too gloomy. You could say I'm a wimp, but hey, I don't care.
Why isn't trip hop or folklore in? I love the Gorillaz and the Beatles.
I didn't vote. My least favorite are house (same boring stuff again and again. Everyone can do it) and heavy metal (could you please stop shouting and start singing!).
Mostly new alternative/old heavy metal. New- I like metallica, Shinedown, foo fighters, Sum 41, ect.
Old stuff, I like Alice cooper, AC/DC, motorhead, Iron maiden, Venus in furs, ect.
Top 15:
1- shinedown- devour
2- Foo fighters- the pretender
3- AC/DC- shoot to thrill
4- Nirvana- smells like teen spirit
5- Venus in furs- inside
6- Black sabbath- paranoid
7- Motorhead- ace of spades
8- Black stone cherry- blind man
9- Alice cooper- poison
10- Sum41- still waiting
11- Crush40- I am
12- My chemical romance- i'm not okay
13- Shinedown- son of sam
14- Foo fighters- all my life
15- AC/DC- highway to hell
BTW you issed thrash (nowadays it's called heavy metal, and heavy metal's called rock, so I get confuseded.
Pretty much everything I can get my hands on. I tend to like instrumental stuff more than singing. I don't like rapping or rape-scream metal. Although I do get a few lols out of Pig-squeal Six feet under songs. Idk, as long as it isn't terrible to listen to, i'm listening to it!
well, it depends. I compare the old 70's and 80's heavy metal with modern "heavy metal", and they're completely different. Then I compare old thrash with modern "heavy metal", and they fit best.
Old heavy metal - rock
Old thrash - new heavy metal
It's confusing. I listen to new alternative rock (proper alternative, not all that kings of leon crap) like shinedown and metallica, a little bit of bon jovi (), and old heavy metal. My brother listens to screamo and thrash, but always claims it's heavy metal. He thinks slipknot/bring me the horizon are the same type as iron maiden. fave songs:
shinedown- devour
AC/DC- shoot to thrill
foo fighters- the pretender
nirvana- smells like teen spirit
venus in furs- inside
motorhead- ace of spades
black sabbath- paranoid
black stone cherry- blind man
AC/DC- razor's edge
bon jovi- keep the faith
Everything. Ramstein , Metallica, Mozart, Hank Williams Jr, Japanese Drums, Mongolian throat-singing, Zulu war chant, Bon Jovi, Gregorian Chant, Sting, MC Hammer, Asciinoid, Bananarama, A couple of Hans Zimmer soundtracks, Queen, Earth Wind Fire...
thats just the stack on the desk next to the CD player right now

Rock, Hard Rock, Classical rock, Hip hop, Dance, Trance, Techno, Industrial, Metal, Death Metal, Pop, some Rap, Reggae and Classical. Dislike Country, Jazz, and most Punk.
Im naturally very picky on the music I listen too. I can't house my opinion on a genre or even tell you my favorite band, because I usually only like one or two of their songs.
what can be told with certainty is that I always despise rap, hip-hop and the like. my word of thumb is "If you can't experiance what the song is saying without noticing the lyrics, its not worth replaying."
I listen to the classics. N.W.A, Ice Cube, Eazy, Ren, Tupac, B.I.G, Big L, Rakim, Nas, Redman, Method Man, DMX.

Mhm, the only Hip-Hop worth listening to is the old stuff. These new bs artists like Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Drake, etc, are all pop artists. They aren't rappers or Hip-Hop artists, they're pop.
I like alot of types of music, I can listen to alot of music, my most favorite got to be Glen Hansard, Andy Mckee, glitch mob, Disturbed, coldplay, Sam tsui, Muse, Mass Effect soundtrack, Tristram Theme Song, and Josh groban mix. Yeah, I am weird in that aspect.
As far as older music goes, I like classic rock, prog rock, and some metal. I'll also listen to some Hip Hop from time to time, but there aren't a great deal of Rappers I care much for.
As far as newer music goes, some of it is pretty good, but there isn't much of it that I really like. Although, I do hear people bash modern music and wonder why. I don't really like most of these Pop singers, but really some of the bands out there aren't bad.
I like a variety of bands/artists, but they all tend to make, to a lesser or greater extent, ballads of some kind. Elton John, Tom Waits, Dire Straits, Neil Young, and a variety of different folk genres.

You listed some of the classics, included Method Man...but no Wu Tang?
And yeah the new bs is commercialized crap. My friend who got me into hiphop loves the though, "so fresh! I haven't heard gak like it, thats why i like it!", which to me is a load of rubbish. My boot up his (censored) would be a new, "fresh" experience, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be liking it!
Punkrock (like Sum 41 and Gob), Raprock (like Zebrahead or Linking Park), Indierock (like We Are Scientists or Bloc Party), Alternative rock (like Muse), Pschygedelisch (or something like that. ) rock (like DeWolff) and Punk. (like AFI)
Huge range. Lots of math rock at the moment, but here's a list of stuff I like, shamelessly lifted from my facebook- Jeniferever, Kyte, Pelle Carlberg, The Prize Fighter Inferno, God Is An Astronaut, Minus the Bear, Mike Skinner and The Streets, Andrew Bird, The Verve, Lisa Germano, Tool, ISIS, Frightened Rabbit, This Town Needs Guns, American Football, Washed Out, Neon Indian, Deftones, The Cure, A Perfect Circle, Morrissey, The Dismemberment Plan, Davenport Cabinet, Emancipator, Oceansize, The Sisters of Mercy, Del Amitri, Passion Pit, WHY?, Bloc Party, David Bowie, As Tall As Lions, and Trever Keith.
Also not sure why Hip-hop & Rap each have an entry.
My tastes are all over the place. In rap, I only like pre-1997 rap, everything up to when Biggie Smalls died. It's not specific to Biggie Smalls, so much as just a good marker for when rap went from what it was to a new... thing I didn't like. Right when Master P and those guys started getting big is when they lost me. So, I like Wu-Tang & co, NWA and their descendants up to but not including Snoop, Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, Nice & Smooth, Tupac, Biggie, Gangstarr, Nas, etc. The only modern rapper I like is Eminem, and I don't really follow his albums. I don't really listen to rap much, but when I do that's who it is.
What I generally actually listen to 90& of the time would be Garbage, Hole, Green Day, Oasis, Guns & Roses, Metallica, MCR, Nirvana, The Eels, Smashing Pumpkins, Lady Gaga, NIN, No Doubt, Pearl Jam, Katy Perry, Weezer, The Beatles - rock & pop, really.
micahaphone wrote:Jazz soothes the soul, and it is a BLAST to play. I love being able to pick up my tenor and just mess around on the Bflat and G blues scales.
anything remotely to do with Rock, from blues all the way up to the heavy stuff.
But i do like my Rap and a bit of hip hop. In fact two of my favourite bands are a mix of Rock and Rap (Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit)
First and foremost is METAL - black, death, viking, grindcore, you name it. Being a musician all the way through college I have quite the taste for classical, too. For inspiration, if I'm not listening to classical I usually go with soundtracks (the score type), usually scifi or fantasy driven like Total Recall, Conan, Rise of Legends, Haegemonia, etc.
Death, black and doom metal. But I do dabble here and there elsewhere.

Yes! The Conan soundtrack is phenomenal! Basil Poledouris did an amazing job!
I have a really broad taste in music, because I studied music for three whole years in the gymnasium (high school to you native english speakers), so I learned to appreciate the qualities of every genre. The only genres I don't listen to personally are indie, rap, emo and newer pop music. I love music festivals (go Roskilde!), so I also see much of this music live. The music I listen to mostly is death metal, including subgenres such as melodic, brutal and technical. I spend a lot of time listening to bands like Amon Amarth, Nile, Meshuggah, Suffocation, Autopsy and Lamb of God, but I also listen a lot to Candlemass. If you go further back in time, bands like Rammstein and Metallica and even further back, Slipknot, were in my CD player all the time.

I like Jazz, Swing, Big Band, Rock, Bluegrass, Classical, Romantic, some Baroque, and some Country. I can't stand Rap (Which isn't actually music), Hip hop, Emo, Metal, most country, or christian rock.
If I like it, I like it. That is the full explanation for my musical taste. Things I like usually slot into the categories of heavy metal, rock, alternative, pop, dance, techno, country as well as classical.
I like the music I like, but hate blanket generalizations over genres. I like some rap songs, others don't do it for me. I don't see it as non-music as some others do.

I beg to differ, some rap music is good, great in fact. A Tribe Called Quest, Roots Manuva are examples of intelligent, musical rap music. I think what you're refering to it the majority of the tosh that the industry churns out these days and puts on tv channels like 'Flava', which I'm actively trying to discourage my teenage daughter from wathing!
Not all rap is crap
No Ska in the list :(
To be honest, i will listen to pretty much anything. But main things i listen to; Ska, Rock (literally any rock music), Funk, Dubstep. Probably listen to more pop music than i would like to admit to, like to listen to British music as much as possible, i'm not overly patriotic or anything i just think there is a lot of decent British artists around that deserve to be heard.
Rock, metal, and classical. Interesting. Glad to see you're all a bunch of classy dudes
I also marked "other" because I've been known to enjoy breakcore psytrance, hardstep electrohouse, and jazz fusion indie-polka. They're all acquired tastes.
I've started to dip my toes into the world of electronic music. So far I like Combichrist, and am looking for more.
Also, I've listened to the music from the closing credits of John Carpenter's The Thing like three times today. I have no idea what genre of music that falls into... really creepy minimalist electronic music?
This is, of course, in addition to my standard fare of heavy, black, death, power, and symphonic metal, classic and modern rock, and various kinds of alternative rock.
Rock, metal, Hip Hop and Classical.
Therapy? Metallica, The Answer, Korn, Shubert, Holst, Beethoven, Iced Earth, Nirvana, Control Machete, Molotov, Rush, Led Zepplin, The Doors, Black Sabbath, The Eagles Of Death Metal, Disturbed, Slipknot, Rammstien, Lordi, Wu Tang Clan, Xzibit.....These can all be found on my iPod.
Drives my missus nuts! She's more of a Mariah Carey/Whitney Houstan kind of gal!
when im out and about mostly metal, punk etc, although i can't lie and say that ludovico einaudi isn't in my top ten "most played". but when i am painting: audiobooks. don't diss it till you've tried it
It varies. Mostly rock/metal at the gym and rap when I played ball a lot. Now, though, my ipod plays just about everything when I paint (except girly dance shyt)
Metal and rock, all the f***ing way. Here are some of my favourite bands:
Alestorm
Iron Maiden
Tarot
Linkin Park
Nightwish (only the old production )
Abney Park
Slipknot
Bon Jovi (haters gonna hate )
I do hate the all so popular Techno music and crappy pop (I still like some pop music)
Metal. All kinds. Specifically power metal. Specifically dragonforce and power quest Some of my favourite bands are:
Dragonforce
Powerquest
Iron maiden
Slipknot
Stone sour
mostly 80's rock/heavy metal and modern alternate rock.
my top songs are:
foo fighters- the pretender
AC/DC- shoot to thrill
nirvana- smells like teen spirit
sum 41- noots
shinedown- devour
black stone cherry- blind man
bon jovi- livin' on a prayer
black sabbath- paranoid
motorhead- ace of spades
iron maiden- run to the hills
alice cooper- poison
linkin park- no more sorrow
whitesnake- here I go again
guns n' roses- knockin' on heaven's door
stiltskin- inside
scars on broadway- they say
I listen to lots. Like lots. A little bit of almost every/any style. But my overall favourite styles would be Hard Rock/Metal, Extreme Metal (Death, Black etc.), Classical (mostly either softer pieces such as Chopin, or powerful and bombastic brass-heavy pieces such as Wagner and Holst), Industrial/Electro etc. (Skinny Puppy, Combichrist, Angelspit etc.) and some Country. But I listen to a lotta different stuffs. Yeah.
It's easier to list the stuff I don't like.
I hate pop and country past later than 1990, emo/screamo, and 99% of techno.
I literally listen to everything else, and my favorite genres are sludge, hip hop (in the vein of A Tribe Called Quest), and pre-punk and glam stuff, like Iggy and The Stooges and T.Rex.
Very slight threadomancy, but I listen to heavy metal/rock (mostly 80's), but I find some soundtracks (LOTR, space marine) quite relaxing and get me in the creative mood for painting/modelling.
Which is odd for a 15 year old
Seriously, dubstep is ok. Not by any means my favourite, but it's ok. Better than Bieber, etc.
Not really into genres, I just like whatever certain bands put out. If it;s by Karnivool I'll invariably love it. Rise against and Linkin Park also fill my musical library.
I also enjoy game themes, mainly the DoW soundtracks (particularly 2) and Pokemon FTW.
I'm going to try and figure out which boxes to press now.
Iron maiden, def leppard, AC/DC, led zeppelin, jimi hendrix, motorhead, anthrax, slayer, kiss, sum 41, nirvana, metallica, guns n' roses, europe, bon jovi, alice cooper, black sabbath, whitesnake, deep purple, lynyrd skynyrd...
Mainstream wise, mainly Pop and, to a lesser extent Rock. Hwever, most of my favourite artists tend to be Indie of one form of another, so I'd guess I'd say that's my favourite genre
I listen to Rock, Metal, dubstep, techno, anything like that really, just nothing emo.
I say this as I listen to "Mr. Roboto" by Styx...good stuff man.
Very much not surprised to see that it wasn't on the list but I listen to a lot of Ska. It's basically Rock music with Trumpets and Trombones. Reel Big Fish and Mighty Mighty Bosstones are my favorite.
I remember we had this discussion on old school Dakka in 2005, but it was what you like to listen to while painting. I still say classical and soundtracks set the best mood for me. LOTR, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, Last Samurai, Robin Hood, Braveheart, etc.

In my oddity moments, I listen ambient, triphop, IDM and other more weird stuff
Glad to see I'm not the only person on Dakka that likes the more underground rave music.
Question for you. Do you listen to hardstyle by any chance?

Why no punk option? :(
I agree...atleast where I live, about a third of the people know have it as their favorite genre (other 2/3rds are dubstep and pop/rap stuff). Even older bands like The Ramones and The Clash are popular.
Edit: The lack of punk in this thread is disturbing. Decided to post up list of favorite songs:
1. Green Day - Basket Case
2. Sum 41 - Fat Lip
3. Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia/Homecoming
4. Flogging Molly - Salty Dog
5. Clash - I Fought the Law
6. Rise Against - Ready to Fall
7. Sum 41 - Still Waiting
8. Blink-182 - Dammit (preferably the live version)
9. My Chemical Romance - Na Na Na
10. Green Day - Welcome to Paradise
11. Blink-182 - After Midnight
12. Flogging Molly - Seven Deadly Sins
13. Sum 41 - Nothing On My Back
14. Green Day - Warning
15. The Offspring - You're Gonna Go Far Kid
I cant list every genre out there as there are literally hundreds.
, and would evanessance be considered emo??? 
), and old heavy metal. My brother listens to screamo and thrash, but always claims it's heavy metal. He thinks slipknot/bring me the horizon are the same type as iron maiden. 
though, "so fresh! I haven't heard gak like it, thats why i like it!", which to me is a load of rubbish. My boot up his (censored) would be a new, "fresh" experience, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be liking it!
