Just out of curiosity what type of music do you listen to?
Rather afraid, my friend, that it is somewhat difficult to answer that question. I do listen to a variety of music, the type depending on my mood and the environment in which I find myself. Must say I am partial to Classic Rock, Jazz, Fusion, Bluegrass, and folk. Some techno, and the occasional show tune. I even enjoy the highland pipes should the mood strike me. I am an eclectic listener.
I'm very very diverse with my music, but it all stays withing the Rock/Metal genre. I primarily listen to melodic death metal, folk metal, 80's metal, and then some classics from the 60's-70's.
Classical, focus on the late Romantic Era, particularly opera and ballet (which is what I go to for live performances).
Usually: heavy, power, death, or black metal. Otherwise, older pop songs, power ballads, and classical music.
The stranglers (old skool!)
Ray Lamontagne
Bob Dillan
Neil Young
Sting
Madaliane Peyroux
also anything modern that takes my fancy

I like Metal/Rock/Blues/Scottish bagpipes/Classical, it just depends on my mood. :)
One of my top favorite bands is Black Sabbath!
Metal for the Most Part.....Emperor, Satyricon, Immortal, Ensiferum, Norther, Moonsorrow, all the way to the 80's hairbands and a good amount of 80's pop
Wide and varied: Christian to classical, folk/rock to country. With some 60s oldies thrown in.
-CLassical
-JPop (Japanese pop)
-Metal from the 80's
-80's all genres except country and the same for the 90's

Pretty much anything that catches my mood.
I play bass, guitar and harmonica, so I listen to all types of music, Bach, Slayer, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Charlie Daniels Band, Metallica. I can go on forever, because I really do listen to all music.

peace, jonalbear
Rock music mostly from the 1960s.
I generally hate classical music, much of that coming from
relatives who tried to shove it down my throat years ago.
The cloaest I get to classical music is the theme from Star Wars.
Thanks for pointing out my previous spelling mistake dude.
Ps...do you mean"closest"?..lol!

I can't really say "everything" because more than 90% of my music collection is from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. But from within that time frame, I think I have a pretty wide cross-section.
A semi-random selection of what's in my library:
The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Moody Blues, Jefferson Airplane, Journey, The Velvet Underground, Aerosmith, Husker Du, Van Halen, Van Morrison, Run DMC, The Spinners, Prince, Bob Dylan, Thin Lizzy, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, The Ramones, Albert Collins, Al Stewart, Patti Smith, Joni Mitchell, Janice Joplin, Carole King, David Bowie, The Groundhogs, Queen, Yes, The Sweet, King Crimson, T. Rex, Jethro Tull, Modern English, REM, The Kinks, Ted Nugent, Tracy Chapman, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, Kate Bush, War, Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, The Who, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Eagles, Steely Dan, The Supremes, The Temptations, The Grass Roots, Bob Marley, John Denver, Harry Belafonte, The Steve Miller Band, Elton John, Rush, Mahogany Rush, Thunderclap Newman, Average White Band, Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5, Seals & Crofts, Simon & Garfunkel, The Police, Peter Paul & Mary, Black Sabbath, Judy Collins, Guns & Roses, The Mamas & The Papas, AC/DC, Jackie DeShannon, The Beach Boys, Madonna, Grand Funk Railroad, Heart, Chicago, Boston, Lou Reed ... just to name a few.
I dunno. How would you characterize the above music?
Eclectic is probably not the right description for me!
By a very loose preference order:
40's and 50's Bollywood
Indian classical vocal
Reggae
Current Bollywood
Indian Folk
Romany
80s Pop and Soft Rock
African (mainly from east africa)
Vocal Tenors
Hindi Fusion
Pretty much everything and anything goes except modern pop(seem way to old for it now!!) and Metal/Rock etc.
I forgot to add a link to a couple of demo cd's I am drumming if anyone is curious about what type of music I have played?

Mostly rock, esp progressive, heavy, etc.
For me Moe, Gomez. some humphrys magee
Strangers tend to automatically assume I'm into heavy metal because of my long hair and the way I dress. But in fact, like some others here, my taste in music is extremely eclectic. Metal is by no means my favourite genre and a lot of it bores me to death - especially death metal! Growly vocals have never appealed to me. A great deal of it is too much testosterone, too little talent.
I do love industrial, aggrotech and techno but even then, I'm very choosy. Nor am I a one-band kind of guy. Just 'cause I love some Rammstein or Combichrist or whatever tracks doesn't mean I like ALL their stuff.
I simply like what I like - be it rock, classical or even pop. I'd even confess to liking one or two Lady Gaga songs (though not in front of my mates unless I felt suicidal!). But I do tend to have a lingering hatred for hip hop, folk, country and opera.

Lots of different kinds. I like classical music - especially orchestral, but also piano, clarinet etc. Also brass bands, mechanical music (music boxes, water powered organs), bands like Queen, Slade. Quite a variety. Good question!
Progressive rock, 70s/80s electronica, New Wave/synthpop... oh, and Georgian choirs!
Definitive no-nos: hip hop, eurodisco, almost all things metal, house, techno, oi/hardcore, country
Ambivalent: funk, soul, classical jazz (preferably with a churning Hammond organ!), southern rock
See you in Khyberspace!
Yadgar
late 60s and 70s rock - hard rock, heavy metal, psychedelic and progressive.
Classical.
Reply:
Mostly "classical", the Romantic period. Dvorak is my favourite, but Brahms, Elgar, Fauré, and Rimsky-Korsakov are contenders. For vocals: Puccini.
There are exceptions in the non-classical field: Harry Warren's "September in the Rain" and "People Like You and Me", Jerome Kern's "You are Love" and "Make Believe", and Richard Rodger's "If I Loved You" and "You'll Never Walk Lone".
American country, Brazilian country, Portuguese fado, classic rock...
