I pretty much can hack any kind of music - even bubblegum pop like Britney. It's easier to say what I don't like;
most opera (bits are good, most is turgid)
most metal (I'm solidly into classis hard rock - Purple, Sabs, Zep etc - but metal just makes me laugh, it's soooo corny)
most country (though there are obvious exceptions. The stuff I really
don't like is that Nashville/Hollywood country - but I love '70s
Emmylou, Gram Parsons etc and totally dig what Ryan Adams does - I
guess country rock is my thing)
Most reggae - I'm just too white (why elese would I like prog). I like
Bob Marley's greatest hits but that's about it for me I'm afraid
Trance music - soooo boring. I was into it in the early 90s but then it all just became the same.
All the rest usually has something worth listening to in it somewhere.
If pushed to name three kinds of music I most identify with they'd be
1 Prog
2 Classic Rock
3 Post Rock/Electronica

Okay, best non-prog music---- Soundgarden. Chris Cornell is just about the greatest vocalist ever.
I like a lot of grunge, like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana
I like a lot of blues influenced rock, Like The Tragically Hip and The White Stripes
Metal, Classic Rock, like Metallica, Megadeth, And of couse Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath
Acid/ psychedelic stuff, like The Doors, and The Coral
Then just some general bands, like Audioslave, Staind, Three Days Grace, A lot of hard rock like that, some rap (only Eminem, some people consider him complete crap, but I don't care. Also, 50 Cent sucks) And I even like Coldplay.
The Tragically Hip, Audioslave, Metallica, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, Nirvana, Megadeth, I even like Coldplay. I like a lot of blues-rock and blues-influenced rock. Acid rock
