1. NEAS (non-percussive electronic ambient space) or New Age music ( http://www.internet-radio.com/station/pvc-ambient/ ) and experimental/noise electronic music ( http://www.lawrence.com/radio/genre19/ ).
2. Different forms of EDM (electronic dance music) such as electronica, techno, drum and bass, dubstep, trance, ambient, bass, house, (classic) disco, (classic) funk, chillout/lounge, etc. ( http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide )
3. Rock music - industrial , metal ( all degrees and types ), punk , classic, alternative, oldies, rockabilly (punkabilly), "doo wop" (Motown), noise, Condfederate/Southern, Woodstock, etc. Check out these guys: "Bodybuilders With Gun" by Low On Insanity
4. Folk/Country music - folk (Celtic, American, Latin, Hawaiian), bluegrass, country (old school, new school, "alternative"), rockabilly, "bug" music, mountain music, Australian oboe music (or whatever that long, strange-sounding and flute-like musical instrument is that those outbackers blow into, but it's nice) and some countrypop ( "Giddy On Up" by Laura Bell Bundy ).
5. Blues/Old School R&B - blues (traditional, modern, gospel, secular), zydeco, old school soul/rhythm and blues (1950s to the early 1980s) and go-go music ( Chuck Brown ) . I like Maze featuring Frankie Beverly a lot too.
6. Classical music - orchestrated, chamber, patriotic/march, instrumentals (pipe organ, piano, harpsicord, xylophone, cello, percussion, harp, violin, etc.), baroque and "alternative" ( STOMP ).
7. Jazz - traditional (Duke Ellington), bebop, modern, jazz-funk , acid ( Roy Ayers ) and smooth .
Of course, I do occasionally hear lots of international/World music (that is, music that is created outside the USA) - like some of that from Africa or the Middle East, but I typically revolve around those first seven main types of music. (I pretty much covered darn near everything already, didn't I?) Sometimes, I may hear about artists and tunes from certain other types of music that I really don't care for, but I usually tend to forget about them later. If there is any one type of music that I would like to learn how to perform the most it would be the type of music that I usually like to refer to as NEAS music. Just like with techno and rave music, I like the laser lights and stuff that a few of the NEAS musicians deploy while giving their concerts - it's awesome! If I were a NEAS musician, I would take it a step further - I would deploy one or two fembot (female robot) dancers to accompany me while I play my NEAS music on stage.
What about the rest of you all? Who is your favorite musician/artist and what is currently your favorite song?
