Folk/psychedelic.

Sufjan Stevens, Regina Spektor, The Flaming Lips are just three that come to mind.

Normally, I'm pretty rock oriented. I love hard punk(influenced) rock a la Showbread, mewithoutYou, Blindside, and stuff like that. I also like hardcore, the occasional burst of metal, and stuff like that.

Celtic drinking songs. There's Jakey's Gin, Home for a Rest, the Old Black Rum-

Which is odd since I tend to avoid bars and getting plastered :eyebrow:

Just found a lovely example:

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best,
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left,
These so called vacations, will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest.

Euro-pop :) That's right. Amidst my classical, metal, and techno....rubbing shoulders with Mozart and Bach.....you will find the likes of Aqua, Ace of Base, and Real McCoy.

Honestly, my selection of music is VERY various when it comes to genres... and with people knowing that I like some JPOP (it's just not the same as it used to, though v_v) I really don't think anything would be unexpected with me liking after that...

Most people who know me know I have a really ecclectic taste in music. But they may not realize it extends to polka. Gotta love that um-pa beat!

German rock for me! I'm part German, so I suppose one could say I'm learning more about my heritance. At least, that's just what I tell people when they walk in on me geeking out to Rammstein. ;)

I like rock and pop, but also listen to what my DJ friend calls "Chinese ghetto style", so I guess that's what it is. :)

I mostly listen to...Well, I dunno, I'm awful at labeling genres, but I guess it would be punk (some), rock, mellow-y stuff like Imogen Heap, DCFC, Fair, etc...I dunno what you'd call that. XD Anyways, anyone who doesn't know me well (as in, isn't a really close friend in real life) probably wouldn't know that I listen to J-pop/rock. 'Course, it seems I share that sentiment with a lot of people here. XD

I mostly like rock, some punk and a very select bit of pop. I also like a bit of industrial punk and blues and jazz. But the real weird thing for me is I like a bit of classical music.

Living in such a Hip-hop saturated street culture in my area it surprises/confuses my friends to hear to find someone belching it out in Japanese in the middle of my playlist.

Big band, like Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. Also Frank Sinatra and those old-time jazz type singers. My tastes in music run kind of weirdly anyway, so I doubt any one would be surprised that I liked a certain genre. Another one is disco and Elvis, but only when Im in the mood!

Mostly I like folk, celtic, and Asian folk/pop music, soundtracks, and a little bit of oldies/classic rock thrown in.
