Most of my musical interest is hard rock and metal. Even the stuff outside of that is generally guitar-based blues and jazz. Alt, grunge, punk, nu, whatever label you want to slap on it. I either like it or I don't.

Don't care much for country, pop or rap.

I'm not real familiar with any of them myself, but aren't they kinda folk-ish? "Americana" I think the kids are calling it these days.

I tend to go by, if it sounds good to me I get it, whatever it is.
If its not on You Tube to snag I wait and sometimes forget about it.
Since I had to dump a lot of my vinyl collection in 2005 I've been lucky enough to get most of it back from YT, and more, even 60's stuff I thought I'd never hear again. and saves a lot of money to as neednt have replaced a lot of albums with CDs, but not anymore.
All good fun collecting and putting videos onto DVD instead of hearing albums now and then.

Over 98% of my collection is metal. The rest is basically classic rock and blues.

I might enjoy some 80s pop music as well. Good old classic hits.

Prog rock mostly and Allan Holdsworth.

I do not want to come up with controversy or wage a war, but System Of A Down is one of my favorite bands regardless of being metal or not. Smile

I do enjoy:
The Police, XTC, old punk, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Toto and I very often spend time watching vocal groups on YouTube. I have a huge distaste for Brazilian music, but I do not mind listening to Latin America music ( Salsa, rumba, etc ) specially live stuff. I do like Country like Jonnhy Cash and old school bluegrass as well some New Orleans jazz. Old school funky music is also great. I occasionally listen to Tony Bennett and Sinatra.
