I'll like something different next week.

Good old rock and roll. Soft, hard, heavy metal, I love it all. I grew up listening to rock from it's beginnings.

Rock by far. I also enjoy Jazz and Classical music too....mostly live though.

I listen to some top 40 type stuff for anything Cardio -

And when cleaning around the house, I listen to Top 40 and folk type 70's music.

With some exceptions, I mostly enjoy music with lyrics that make sense to me.

Probably because my ADHD makes my unfocused attention span relatively short unless I get "hooked" into the song somehow.

I seldom listen to music---it's never just " on in the background."

If I'm not listening to traffic or news when driving; and I keep the radio on, I will usually punch the one country and western station I have preselected.

classic rock

motown like the supremes

Standards from the 40's on up, early rock and roll, ballads, folk & country.  I also enjoy classical.  All of them have been the background music of my life.

Canadian ska !!! Why ? Cos awesome :p

1. Rock

2. Jazz

3. Classical

Why? Because I'm not being forced by the before-mentioned genre to listen to people talk about the hood, ghetto, guns, murder or killing the poo poo. As far as "real love", there's a little wiggle room for that.

I listen to lots of genres randomly but my top favorite is Rock- metal and then good old jazz!!

Nothing beats rock! (which it converts in several genres by itself) there's few rock genres that i can't stand at all for instance (progressive rock) but love Rock itself, alternative rock, metal (which one side of it is part of rock) , Nu metal, electronic rock, ect . . .

I can't find any emotion that i find with rock! Grew with it and absorbed past and present! From Nirvana and Pearl Jam and AC/DC to Evanescence, Breaking benjamin,Disturbed, halestorm, ect . .

After all, my true favorite genre is  ♥ L i N k I n  P a R k ♥

LP is not just rock, it's creativity of music.

I like Pop and dancey stuff, and maybe a bit of R&B like Destiny's Child.

i like music that is just fun and uplifting.

Electronica and indie are my favorite genres. I don't know why--they just sound the best to me. With electronica, it's all about the variety of sounds that can be produced by synthesizers. With indie, I love the simplicity of much of the music and the pleasant sound of the singers voices (usually a bit softer).

60s-80s classic rock and metal (mostly Metallica, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Queen, Rainbow, and Pink Floyd), some Japanese rock songs once in a while, and maybe some modern rock and metal... I also listen to classical music every now and again!

It depends on my mood, sometimes I listen the rock, country and even rap too, but I rarely like it, normally I prefer the classical music that are soft and relaxing, as after the work, listening to a relaxing one is good for the mind.

My favourite genre of music is classical music because when I listen it I rest :) Calm, relax and inspirational. I love it :)

pop music

I love Jazz and Rock because I feel awesome while listening.
