Oh, that's not a fair question at all. I could spend all day posting in this topic.
Short answer: I listen to almost everything. The only things I absolutely refuse to listen to are country/western and rap.
Long answer: Well, I listen to a lot of things. I was raised on classic rock and classical music (the colloquial use of the term "classical music," meaning anything before the modern era.) As such, I'm still a big fan of both.
As I've aged, my musical tastes have expanded somewhat, but most of what I listen to has its roots planted firmly in rock or classical, sometimes both. Lately I've been listening to a lot of indie rock. Especially my absolutely favorite indie rock band, Pro Audio. (Their entire first and only album is free for the download. Check it out!) I've also been listening to a lot of the Flaming Lips and the Fiery Furnaces, with some Decemberists and Architecture in Helsinki thrown in for good measure.
I'm also something of a fan of jam rock. I tend to just stick to Phish, the String Cheese Incident, and the Grateful Dead, though. Oh, and a bit of Keller Williams.
As far as classic rock goes, my favorite bands are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Jethro Tull. Oh, and David Bowie. And Kansas. I can't forget Kansas. I also listen to the Who a good deal, but not nearly as much as the afformentioned bands. Oh, and some Hendrix, of course.
As for other music, I keep an eye on the video game remixing scene, I enjoy some video game soundtracks, and I'm a big fan of Hideki Naganuma. The man is a genius. There's just nothing else to it. He's a mad genius.
Mostly Metal Music. The bands I listen to are (these are in no particular order)
Megadeth
Queensrche
Exodus
Van Halen
Napalm Death
Skid Row
Anthrax
Iron Maiden
Testament
Slayer
Ozzy
Demon Hunter
Collective Soul
Lynrd Skynrd
Primus
Sepultura
White Zombie
Corrossion of Confrormity
Metallica
Boston
Rush
Hmm, I can't believe I forgot to mention Boston. One of my all-time favorite bands of any genre. Somehow slipped my mind. Oo, and Blind Melon.
I should have mentioned, I generally prefer my music to be upbeat and cheerful-sounding. And to completely contradict that, I also like menomena and the Black Mages.
And I forgot Get Him Eat Him. I usually don't enjoy lyrics very much, but GHEH has some of the most poetic lyrics I've ever heard. Chock full of alliteration and half-rhymes. Not to mention how much I love their flowing, meandering song structures.
Good choices! I'm a metalhead too. I'm gonna see Testament on Jan 27th!Quote:

I like pretty much all styles except country and rap, though there might be a few (very, very few) exceptions I will make when it comes to rap. I try not to limit myself to liking only certain genres, but country and rap are very difficult for me to enjoy.
I listen to ska, punk, and Ween.
Ween? I don't think I wanna know. :)
The two genres I listen to most are heavy metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden and Hammerfall) and progressive rock (Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd).

Oh, it's a band. I thought it was a genre. :p
uhh last time I checked Helloween are not to modern. I seen them on sold old tapes of Headbangers ball from 1991. I seen Opeth this past summer at the Gigantour festival. They were pretty decent. Lamb of God was awesome!!
I've never taken up the time to really play favorites with music, like I do with video games. I listen to what is on the radio, and a lot of game music. I do like anything... but, there's next to no country I like, and the rap songs I like I could probally count on my hands and toes.
I also like a lot of Japanese music. BUT, I'm not an anime, or japanese fanboy. There's not many Japanese things that I really like.
I am quite the eclectic one when it comes to this. It really depends on what I feel like listening to except for country and most rap. Some of the older rap I will tolerate, but one song I will listen to REM and the next I may put Metalliica in.
my fave music:
Depeche Mode (best band of all time)
The Cure
David Bowie
Elton John
George Michael
Coldplay
The Killers
The Bee Gees
Ryuichi Sakamoto
Right Said Fred
