What genres of music do you love?

[MrScorpio]

Well for me, 60's and 70's R&B is the best, then the rock from that era, you know, Zep, Stone, Floyd, stuff like that. Then there's jazz, not your elevator-Kenny G shit, but Bebop and experimental and lot's of Jazz Funk, especially stuff that was produced by the Mizell Brothers and Weather Report.

All kinds of Midwest Funk: P-Funk, Bootsy, Slave and Cameo... Always funky

Of course, there's all kinds of Latin, from Salsa to Bossa Nova... Not the biggest fan of Tejano though. And Afro Beat, I love Afro Beats.

Did I mention Reggae? There's Rock steady, Ska and Dub, I could listen to Dub all day long.

Also, I love movie and TV themes from the 60's and 70's.... Lalo Schrifrin is like a god.

And I love disco... Yes, disco. Dance music in general as well: Breakbeats, House, Techno, electronica, lounge, chill out and stuff like that. Of course, there's Downtempo and Trip Hop too.

And of course there's Hip-Hip... the classic stuff from the late 80's to the mid 90's and today's Underground and eclectic Hip-hop beats. You won't hear any of it on the radio, and if you look hard enough, you might see some on VH-1.

There's more that I love, of course.

Edit to add Classical... Lay some Ludwig Von any day
Got all day?

1. Late 60s-Mid 70s classic rock, Early to mid 90s alt rock

Most everything else was just filler.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

2. Classical (especially choral) and world music make up the majority of my CD

collection, but I have a bit of everything.

[SoxFan]

3. Janglepop, Postpunk

Janglepop: Early REM, Connells, Winter Hours, O-Positive, Let's Active

Postpunk: Early U2, Joy Division, Echo & the Bunnymen, Mission of Burma

[FarLeftRage]

4. There are a few genres I like a lot...

For starters, the alternative rock/new wave/punk music followed by the blues, classic American Jazz from the 1920's & 1930's.

World beat music,Latin music, ska and reggae music.

1980's technopop is another style that I like.

And to round my varied tastes, 1950's and 1960's rock music in all of its' forms.

[Mendocino]

5. Classical-romantic period,

particularly Grieg

60's, early 70's country/folk rock-Dylan, Byrds, Burritos, Little Feat, The Band.

Van Morrison-to me a genre unto himself.

Those are just my favorites, I like all sorts of good music.

[Skittles]

6. classic rock and Motown are my favorites

fuck it, I'll admit it, I am old but that music is DAMN good

[mix]

7. Dub, baroque, punk, trance/house/techno, rock, traditional Persian, underground/old school hiphop nt

[mix]

13. and old country, outlaw country and underground country. nt

[tester2010]

8. Classic rock

[rucky]

9. Shoegazer

some alt-country,
French techno-pop,
low-fi
'80's punk
lotsa newer Canadian and Scottish bands for some reason - they have a common sound, but I don't think there's a name for it.

[mix]

14. Spacemen 3, early Verve??? nt

[rucky]

16. yep & yep

Also Galaxie 500, Slowdive

[mix]

17. I have "A Storm in Heaven" permanently playing in my brain these days.

I love the heavy positivity of that band.

[old mark]

10. I really enjoy almost anything with a well-played guitar in it....Ramones to Flamenco to

Tal Farlow and Les Paul and SRV.

I love blues and rock n roll mostly, because that is what I seem to be able to play...

[hobbit709]

11. Mid 60's-70's rock, reggae, , blues-especially older blues.

[Cash U Nutt]

12. Hard to put my favorite music in a "genre"

since my favorite artists tend to be those that stray back and forth across the boundaries of rock, folk, country, and blues.

Think Ry Cooder, Lucinda Williams, John Hiatt.

[Kali]

15. almost anything if it is mixed in with other eclectic and not so eclectic stuff

the key for me is diversity, otherwise I like most all except "christian pop," pop in general, modern country pop, classical and old style freeform jazz

so much easier to list the few I dislike than all that is good!

oh and if I haven't mentioned it, I HATE the polyfuckingphonic spray

[Arugula Latte]

18. Lots of the ones you mentioned, but also, and especially

80s-early 90s alternative rock/Madchester/shoegaze/Britpop/that era ska-reggae and the kind of music SoxFan mentioned above.

[Tobin S.]

19. I love rock and almost all sub-genres of it.

This might sound kind of odd but I really love the people who make metal. Those people are clearly not in it for the money. Once you get beyond Metallica and pop metal in general you will find the most honest musicians in music in the various sub-genres of metal. Some of that music is so complex that I'm sure that the people who play it could play just about anything. But they choose metal.

[lazarus]

20. one I haven't seen yet

Dixieland jazz. Also, whatever genre you fit Leon Redbone into. Standards? Americana?

I'm fairly eclectic, but I'm not a fan of metal (mostly, I like Iron Maiden) or rap (except for a bit I do like). And I universally hate modern country.

I love bluegrass and 80's synth pop and post punk. Also electronica.

[LeftyMom]

21. I am a grown-assed woman with a Subie wagon and a place in the burbs and I love punk.

Not just a little bit, we're talking "I went to two shows in the past week, both on work nights, and yes I was down in the pit close to the railing in front of a speaker destroying what little remains of my hearing" kind of love.

PS It would have been three shows but my babysitter had emergency surgery. It's okay, I can catch that band later, they're local.

PPS She's okay.

[kwassa]

22. Classical, various jazz genres, soukous, zouk, merengue, salsa, some conjunto, cajun, R&B, funk,

roots rock, etc. Old blues artists, acoustic and electric

I like rock but hate pompous anthem rock, over-produced, etc. I like a stripped-down sound. I like a little country, the older the better.

Rock is the least intelligent form of music, however, just from a musical standpoint.

I often find unique artists within particular genres that I fall in love with.
