I like Rock, Country, Pop, Reggae, R&B, Soul, Rap and some classical stuff too. These days though I'm listening to more and more Rock music, I've got more appreciation for it than ever one of the most purest styles IMO.

I enjoy R and B and hip hop. As, I got older I enjoy listening to baroque and classical music. Also, Blues and reggae.

My favorite genre of music is alternative/indie followed by dance/electronic.

The Queens are PJ Harvey representing the first, and Madonna the second.

Jamaican music - haven't really explored Mento and I wouldn't be keen on current Dancehall sounds but I have a lot of styles from Ska to Rock Steady / early Reggae / Roots Reggae / Dub / early 80's Dancehall / early Digital / Ragga

African American music: Soul (all eras), Funk (all styles: J.B., P-Funk, 80's), Jazz, R&B, Jump Blues, Disco (no cheese please), early Chicago House, Garage, Boogie, Electro, Washington DC Go-Go...

... Hip Hop - from the 70's on. Not fussed on G-Funk and don't do Grime but everything from Sugarhill Gang to Melle Mel to Schoolly D to ATCQ to MF Doom to C-Ray Walz. Very little interest in anything currently popular; hate Trap and Drill. Some UK and French, African and Brazilian Hip Hop.

Brazilian music - Samba / MPB / Tropicalia / Bossa Nova / Funk

African music - loads of styles: Afro Beat / Rumba / Soukous / Township Jazz - some contemporary artists but heavily 1970s biased. You pretty much have to buy anything that Analog Africa or Soundway release.

I'd listen to a bit of New Wave, Alternative Rock, Punk once in a while but generally stick to black music 364 days a year.

I'm not bothered about genres.

I go for good tunes and if there's a vocal, sung well.

If a tune fails on that it doesn't matter what genre it is.

I won't pigeonhole myself, that's what younger generations tend to do.

I like all sorts of music from the thirties to some contemporary stuff. But if I were to be pinned down, my main preferences would be "old fashioned" ballad style modern jazz and Motown.

I like bits of most genres but rock and indie and electronic are my main genres.

My favourite specific genre is alternative rock which took a downturn for about 5 years but is starting to come back.

Soul and house. Haven't listened to anything else for years

Dubstep, drum & bass, teen pop, rap and dance.

Pop, mainly 70's, 80's but do like some new stuff and old style country with the steel guitars. Not keen on modern country. Like a bit of reggae too.

Metal, nu metal, rock, grunge

Pop, synthpop/electronic, hip hop, some R&B, dance (as in club type music - wouldn't listen to it at home but if it's played at a party or something I'll dance to it), some alternative pop

Rock, Metal, Symphonic Metal, Thrash, Goth, Grunge, Punk.
Reggae
Ska
80's

I probably have a wide variety of likes in music genres.

Classical
Pop
Euro dance
Rock/Thrash metal (Guns N' Roses etc)
80s and 90s


There are most likely other genres but I can't be bothered to find out what the other tracks come under.

anything that hits that right spot.... obviously some styles have a larger appeal then some others, but theres no black and white just various shades of grey. so anything that epitomises a mood, feeling, emotion of some sort to fit the situation either physical or imagined (pan pipe music for eg, epitomises the feeling for the andese , so i can link into that via imagination as opposed to being there).

im on record for having a strong dislike for s/a/w, glam, prog and philly - but a good track from those styles is still better then a poor track from a style im more attune too.

'trance' though is the style im liking most these days.

Generally, I like anything as long as it is any good except modern jazz which is a totally closed book to my ears. Specifically, Pick any one, two or three from prog-rock-folk.

I know modern jazz is an instant turn off for some. But there's some jazz that I can't understand why anyone can't like.

This for example, such an emotive rendition and I love the chord progression used by the pianist and bass player. (Oscar Peterson & Ray Brown). This is sixty years old and to me sounds as fresh as ever.

Probably the best answer I can give is Darkwave... which is really an umbrella term for a collection of genres.

I listen to all sorts of music but I tend to gravitate towards the gloomy / moody.💀

I can never understand why people insist of categorizing music by genres. A great many artists will have five of six different musical styles on a single album.

The categorisation is already there. They probably arrive at a particular artist's album or albums through whatever they heard first and enjoyed (possibly singles getting some airplay for e.g.) and that enjoyment may have been influenced by whatever genre those tracks fell into i.e. the listener was somewhat predisposed to enjoy Indie over heavy metal or hard rock over pop etc. etc.

Someone can by an album and enjoy the ballads but not care for the faster dance tracks or like the funky tracks but not like the ventures into jazzier sounds or hard rock or whatever - or they may love the whole eclectic package but something brought them there in the first instance: to acquire the album.

We all do it differently and probably none of us listen to everything or are open to all music. we tend to discriminate in some way or other.

I arbitrarily split my vinyl collection into two genres: jazz, and not-jazz. However even such a broad categorisation is problematic. Where do I put Badbadnotgood? They play jazz, but record shops put them in the hip-hop racks. What about Anderson .Paak? Malibu is full of jazz, but it's probably regarded by most people as an r'n'b record.

Of course I could just file everything - classical, rock, hip-hop, jazz, folk, whatever - alphabetically or just not file it at all. But having a jazz section in my collection is my way of saying that jazz is my favourite genre. It's just that I don't put hard boundaries on the edges of what is jazz. It's more a case of, what isn't jazz? As far as I can tell, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Who and Kraftwerk. Everything else is jazz.

Is everything Jazz, or is Jazz everything?

You can't kill the metal

Everything is Everything.

Metal and all its sub genres except where there is screaming and growling involved.

Prog and classic rock, symphonic classical music (think big epic pieces with lots of drama, scale and volume - Holst The Planets is a great example), I do have a thing for female vocals so will happily listen to pop if its female.

Country music.
