I like almost all musical genres, and even those which I’m not fond of have exceptions. As a general rule, I prefer alternative music, not because it conforms to a standard that makes it alternative but because it’s a form of music which tends to borrow sounds from a variety of sources. There is alternative that is more metal and some that is more folk and some that is country and some that is rap. The word “alternative” has come to represent a catchall label for any music which does not easily fit into a more established category.
More specifically, I like classical music, particularly chamber music and chant. I like rock, classic and alternative. I like some country, mostly Johnny Cash. I like rap, especially Black Eyed Peas. I like some folk, some jazz, some industrial, some dance, New Age, etc, etc, etc. I like music from other cultures, even if I can’t understand the lyrics. I like music that mixes genres and finds new sounds. I like music with strong lyrics or a focus on a unique sound. I don’t mind music that is heretical, rebellious, or accusatory, though I prefer music without cursing. I can forgive it if the sound is unique. I like music I can sing along to. I like music that moves me.
I like so many different kinds of music that when I have to travel with someone, I prefer they select the music on the off chance that I’ll get to hear something new.

I like most music too… especially classical and big band. I’m not into rap or opera though.
I like most types of music except heavy or death metal. I’m not a huge fan of rap, either. I probably like jazz, country, and folk music the best.
