Metal/Hard Rock/Classic Rock and some Country but more Outlaw/Alternative Country as opposed to the bubble-gum poppy Nashville crapola.
I give just about any type of music from anywhere in the world a try. If I make a connection with the sound whether I understand the lyrics of not don't matter. Lyrics become more important the more sparse the instrumentation - difficult to really enjoy solo anything including voice. When instruments, voice, and the story of the piece intertwine successfully i'm in heaven. That atmosphere is difficult to find. When I'm not looking for new music I'll listen to variations of the blues (mostly up to the late 60s), Old country, folk, bluegrass, hip hop, and reggae
Music saved my life more than once.
Old school country ( Hank Williams , Patsy Cline )
Metal ( Ozzy , Avenged Sevenfold , Rammstein )
Alt ( Nirvana , Weezer , Pixies , Cure , Joy Division )
Rock ( Skynnerd , The Who , The Cars )
I listen to lots of stuff
Too tired to add it all
Punk, metal, classical and bluegrass are my go to genres but I do like some hip hop and trance
Rock
Classic Rock
Metal
Alternative/Punk
Hip Hop (More old school)
Jazz
R&B/Motown
Almost anything other than Country
I tend not to think in terms of genres, because in music, as in other art forms, there should be no artificial barriers or straitjacketing definitions.
So I guess I'm pretty open to most things, although an awful lot of metal is just noise to me, and I'm utterly bewildered - see above - by the constant shifting and creation of new subdivisions of modern forms.
But in terms of what I like, it would include romantic and post romantic classical symphonists, oratorio, chamber music for strings, accessible (!) jazz, late 60s west coast rock, Chicago blues, folk, nu and alt-country, Americana....
Then there's what I do myself, solo singer-songwriter stuff. For me it's about the song, with an equal interest in music and lyrics. I hate anything which gets in the way of the song, like over-elaborate instrumentation or ego. Let the song speak.
And I could list hundreds of people in this area of music, most of whom nobody has ever heard of!
Anything but Opera, Disco and Rap.
Rock and roll - Early, classic, 60's, British invasion, garage, punk, power pop, 80's, alternative...
I love EDM, Techno, Dance, House, Industrial, Cyber, Gothic, Reggaeton, and Pop.
Used to love "alternative". I've been warming up to heavy music lately.
