I'm not sure what it'd be called, but it consists of piano, small string ensemble, and operatic vocals.

You know, pretty much any music that has folk or orchestral instrumentation, isn't raucous, and includes trained vocalists or a choir... I'm fairy easy to please.

My favorite genres are: metal, punk, ska, rock, and classical/soundtrack.
It's kinda broad and not very specific but I felt that if I went more specific I would miss some genres. I do also like music in different genres than those, but I think those are probably overall my favorite.
I like fusions of different genres as well if it sounds good to me.
I'm generally not a fan of slow music, not sure why. Perhaps it drives me crazy as a percussionist.. idk.

I like music in probably every genre. Mostly I enjoy rock (modern, classic, and indie), but have been known to listen to something smooth when writing, or trying to keep up with Eminem when the mood strikes. My least favorite genre is country, although there are a few I like. Classical can be nice as well.

Lately I've been moving from rock to a new genre and I really don't know what to call it. Synthpop? Post-rock? Ambient?

I like classical and jazz.

I think that would be considered chamber music.

I am with you on Baroque. That is my favorite era of classical. Vivaldi is my favorite composer.

A bit of everything, but Reggae would have to be my favourite. Especially Toots and the Maytals, Bob Marley, and Desmond Dekker.

TheApostleJohn · Jul 10, 2015

90's alternative, old school punk, 60's baroque pop, classical music (more into romantic period), Jazz (mainly free jazz and jazz fusion), some post-rock, some underground hip hop and electronica, some big 60's classic rock bands. I recently got really into glam rock ballads from the 70's.

Oh and I like swing too. I'm definitely not a fan of every form of jazz though.

Country,
Pop

Gnarwhal · Jul 10, 2015

Indie folk (Alexi Murdoch, Gregory Alan Isakov, The Weepies, etc), classical (Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Debussy, Brahms, etc), Gregorian Chant, soundtracks (Thomas Newman, James Newton Howard), some hip hop (Kendrick Lamar, Donald Glover), oldies (like Credence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, Beatles, Bob Dylan).

The list goes on.

keith99 · Jul 10, 2015

Folk Rock.

Think Simon and Garfunkel.

But I like well done music in almost any genre and can think of at least one or 2 pieces in most genres.

MiniEmu · Jul 10, 2015

My magical playlist generator says I have a strong preference for dark cabaret and europop.
I have no idea what that means, but I'll go with it.

Travelers.Soul · Jul 10, 2015

Christian (predominately, Rock and Rap), Celtic, Folk, Bluegrass, Country (but not all of it), Instrumental, Pop, K-Pop (some of it is good but others...laughable), and hymns. I basically run the gamut from really mellow coffee house style music to something that has occasional screaming in it.

I don't either.

Dark Cabaret as in Jill Tracy and Dresden Dolls?

Qyöt27 · Jul 10, 2015

My default responses for the last 13-14 years have been Industrial (of various subgenres) and Gothic Rock. But I do listen to a lot more than that, and especially since those genres haven't had a lot of really active output for some years it makes it difficult to find after you get through the wealth of 80s and 90s acts. But a few lists gleaned from last.fm:

Those three names refer to three very different things.

Tom Mix · Jul 11, 2015

I like Christian music like 3rd day and Toby Mac and Casting Crowns and MercyMe and stuff like that but I also like the music at professional baseball games.
