Ditto. It all begins with Beatles. I like a lot of 'classic rock' actually- Beatles, (early)Rolling Stones, Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zepp... if it's turned up on classic rock radio I probably have at least one song I like by them.
I like OLDSCHOOL punk- I despise the junk people think is punk nowadays. That said I grew up on the East Coast so most the punk I like was either gritty NY type stuff, or Euro import. Examples?> Reagan Youth, Lydia Lunch, Ramones, Agent Orange. I like a lot of the oddbal scene stuff from that time too, you know, like Klaus Nomi and Laurie Anderson and suchlike.
I like metal. Mostly classic metal like Sabbath, Maiden, Motorhead, but I love black metal as well- early Mayhem, Venom, Darkthrone. Been getting a weensy bit into some symphonic stuff, like Opeth and Katatonia. and who doesn't like Dethklok? we heard them thru cartoons! everyone loves cartoons.
I like some Goth- Christian Death and Bauhaus come to mind immediately. I also like that sort of creepy fringe not-quite-Goth, but-not-yet-industrial intellectual stuff like Coil and Legendary Pink Dots.
There was an odd sort of math rock-punk-pop scene from which sprang bands like XTC, Robyn Hitchcock, B-52s and suchlike. Like me some of that as well.
I liked grunge when it happened. Nirvana remain one of my favey bands, and I sort of followed a lot of the fringe element around that, you know, bands they tried to point out to everyone, like Pixies, Melvins and Meat Puppets, as well as some of the stuff that appeared in their wake, like Foo Fighters. But I also liked Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, and some of the more obscure stuff from then, like Dead Moon.
I like sort of Beatley pop stuff. The Elephant Six movement out of Athens GA was fun to be around. I like Olivia Tremor Control and the late b.p. helium. But unlike most people into that kick I'm not -that crazy about of Montreal, and I think Neutral Milk are sort of overrated.
I like a bunch of Asian bands. It's sad to have to lump all the many types of Asian bands into that one category, but sadly everyone does. I like Malice Mizer, dir en grey, antihoney, Tommy heavenly6, Yosei Teikoku, and Akira Yamaoka bunches.
I tend to prefer old country like Hank Williams the 1st, Johnny Cash, Slim Whitman, and such, but I do like Keith Urban. Maybe just because he's pretty? I like southern rock like Skynrd and the Allmans also.
I like freestyle jazz. Ornette Coleman, Rasaan Roland Kirke and Coltrane in particular.
Torch song/doomy stuff like Tom Waits, Diamanda Galas, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave can be fun.
I don't like much club music, but when i do I do. I can't remember the guys who mixed it- buncha letters and numbers- but I am superfond of that song "Bass Slut". I also like Daedelus and some Deadmau5.
I like some classical orchestral. Mostly things everyone likes like Bach, Mozart and the lot, but I also like moody, scary things like Wagner, Mahler, Shostakovich, Stravinski. My fave is a Swedish guy named Allan Pettersson, but his music also kinda scares me a little.
Most modern music/MTV pap disgusts me, but once in awhile I'll like some summer hit like something by Lady Gaga or whatever.
Never liked rap much.
