I've listened to more than a few albums, and when I see country songs popping up in people's journals (particularly Flower Child's) I'll always give the tracks a thought... It's just all sounded bad to me so far. There might be something out there, but it's hard for me to take any interest in searching when everything I've heard so far has just really not sounded good. Don't hate me for that

I appreciate your effort.

If you ever want to try again, just tell me and I'll send you something that you might like better.

I have a pretty a hard time summing up my tastes but since you ask I'll give it a shot. To start with I would say that really anything that's unique and well done is most likely something that will appeal to me. Various kind of electronic music make up a sizable chunk of my music tastes, this ranges from older stuff like Kraftwerk to new wave to late 80s/early 90s electro-industrial and EBM to trip-hop and dubstep to IDM and breakcore to electroclash. I'm also big fan of loud music and/or music that rocks out pretty hard, this encompasses quite a bit—hardcore, grindcore, thrash, noise rock, stoner metal, death metal, etc. Some longtime favorites of mine are also singer-songwriter types like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Leonard Cohen. Aside from that I'm a pretty big postpunk fan too, with Killing Joke, PiL, Gang Four and Wall of Voodoo being some favorites. Then there's the jazz; I'm not a huge jazzhead but I do listen to a fair amount of it, mostly stuff from the 40s through the 70s. Beyond that I have a wide variety of stuff that I dabble in substantially—everything from hip-hop to 50s and 60s pop rock to latin music to african music.

When I first got seriously interested in music, I was about ten. The first band I ever remember really being a fan of was the Smashing Pumpkins, and for a while I mostly listened to straightforward alt-rock. Gradually, this sort of synthesized into an appreciation of alternative metal acts such as Faith No More and Helmet. For the next couple of years I went through various genres of metal, and I do still like metal now. However, when I was about thirteen, I got turned on to prog after listening to prog-metal bands like Ayreon and Shadow Gallery, which is my main genre of music now, and through prog I also got into avant-garde/experimental music, and post-punk.

Oh, and you know how every half-assed hipster has some band that he listens to "ironically"? I'm like that with 70's and 80's arena rock bands like Boston, Bon Jovi and REO Speedwagon. Yes, they're cheesier than a Pizza Hut joint (because that totally wasn't cheesy enough), but there's something about them that I enjoy.

It's ok...I like em too. But don't tell anyone.

Mostly, the genres that I've always been into as a youngun and continue to love as an adult are firstly blues, and secondly soul. This is the music I could listen to anytime, any place and not have to be in a certain "mood" to enjoy. Others that I could put in this category are folk and singer/songwriter, though thats happened only in the last couple years.

Other music that I enjoy, but have to listen to at the right time is metal (please don't make me get into sub-genres here), rap, hip hop, and country.

I do like pop music, but it has to really catch my attention somehow. Not with crazy GaGa flashiness (sorry fans) but with actual musical talent. (I'm sure she's a talented musician, but I just don't feel like she's relying on that talent to get anywhere, but rather gawdy outfits and showmanship). I do have a soft spot for dance music, even though I can't dance well at all.

Some genres I just can't seem to get into are post-rock, most indie, and screamo.

I have developed a new found love of trip-hop though. It's slowly creeping it's way into my "music I could listen to anytime, anyplace".
