What is your favorite genre?

[Ecclectic79]

I've been a drum n bass addict for 15 or 16 years now. Still produce occasionally but it's been a while since I've completed and posted a tune.

Electronica, Trance, and Techno - love it to bits.

Ok you get the idea. I am basically doing this poll to see what music people like the most, which I already know. So it is just for fun. Also, list a favorite band you like.

There are so many genres, sub-genres, and crossovers, I honestly don't even know how to categorize most of what I listen to. There is so much debate and conflicting information out there. It's almost easier just to say what I don't like, but I'll try.

Categories I like with an example of a group/band/artist I like:
Trip Hop (Morcheeba)

Trance (Armin van Buuren)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GsityRQgiw
Dubstep (Nero)

Gothic Country/Alt-country/Southern Gothic (Slim Cessna's Auto Club)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJm2yEQo4aU
Classic Rock/Hard Rock (can't pick just one- love it all)
Punk (The Clash)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ9r8LMU9bQ
Post-Punk (U2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftjEcrrf7r0
New Wave (The Cure)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXAbVx8ByIw&list=FL0rHTnuGpu04vVLtzhA2ibQ&index=13
Alt Rock (such a wide catch all category- Pixies)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwnrvxJAGto
Grunge (how this is often considered a different category from alt-rock, I don't know- Alice in Chains, Chris Cornell)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAylKJb-to
Metal (Traditional: Iron Maiden, Thrash: Metallica, Progressive: Dream Theater, Symphonic: Nightwish)
Industrial (Ministry)

Folk (and most sub-genres of it- can't pick one band/artist)
Classical (Beethoven- fun to play) and Baroque (Bach)
Oldies (this designation is relative)

I like what I like, and genre is irrelevant to me. There are way too many artists to list, honestly.
