I said other cuz I'll listen to anything but rap,hip hop,early country(except Patsy Cline:yes:)and obviously there are some artist in each genre that I can't tolerate. I'll give just about anything a whirl exect the aforementioned
 
Sometimes its good music that gets me through. Today its Jazz and Rock and Roll for me, truth be told. Although being in HS in the early 80's, I am closet New Waver
 
I don't believe "the blues" is not here. That's my favorite. The "true" American music.
 
I couldn't fine Blues as a choice :scratch2:.

I would have checked that.

I chose Jazz, but I like many genres. Jazz, Blues, then R&R. I think Jazz is them most elevating of all.
 
Rock n Roll has always been my poison. Don't play it as loud as I used to but still love it....
 
Top notch R&B / Soul 70's to present. That's what I grew up on.

I LOVE rap/hip hop.

Classic Rock

Jazz

Blues

Easy Listening

I just can't do dance mix, current bubble gum pop, and techno
 
That's a tough one to call. I prefer instrumentals, and new age, jazz, classical fall into that category. Now, to tell the 'rest of the story', I was weaned on R&R, and I'm still a big R&R fan. But starting in the late 70's, I was introduced to the likes of Jean Luc Ponty (saw him in concert), Jon Klemmer, Stanley Clarke, Chuck Mangione, etc, and those guys just opened up a whole new music world for me. Then I was introduced to jazz, and I became much more interested in classical, than in my younger yrs. And the rest is history...................:music:

I clicked on "Other".

I chose "Other" because the only appropriate answer to your poll is----"All of the above." for which there is no box to check.

And there are more, Celtic music comes to mind. Rap is also missing. (Not that Rap is a favorite of mine, but I have found some of it to be okay.)

Probably would have been easier to ask me what music I don't like.

Music:

Was there for the birth of Rock and Do-Wop so naturally they are my first love but as I grew older and heard others such as Jazz,Country,Blues etal my love expanded to encompass them all and as I played in bands many years got to enjoy playing that aspect of them all as well as listening......Rick
 
My absolute favorite genre falls under the inadequate term of "post-rock." Some of my favorite bands include Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion, Sigur Rós, Tortoise and Mogwai. I started listening to this kind of music about ten years ago as I transitioned away from indie, alternative and classical as my favorite genres. It was around the same time that I became interested in vintage audio, namely Acoustic Research speakers, which really could bring out the incredible characteristics of the music I was listening to.

Godspeed and ASMZ frequently use elements of classical music and composition in their recordings, which, in my opinion, pairs very nicely with older gear. When I am trying out any piece of equipment, my audition album is usually F#A#∞ on vinyl. Unfortunately, I have not found any contemporary gear that can adequately playback these bands with the same effect as the vintage stuff. Then again, I probably can't afford any contemporary gear that can playback this type of music to my tastes, but I digress.

I am also very interested in rare and obscure jazz, hard bop, and fusion recordings. I am a big fan of Madlib and admire his ability to dig up some of the most pleasant and obscure music I've ever heard. Thankfully, Madlib periodically puts out compilations of the music that inspires him so I may take up the task of finding the full albums of the songs he samples in his music.
 
Metal and Punk and Zappa (wherever he fits, jazz I know but....), I recently brought home a big box of vinyl from my father in law and have been working through the jazz and even some big band stuff.
 
Metal

Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead, etc

Probably 100 or so bands among my collection

Favorite I consider a unique oddity as far as my taste: Blue Öyster Cult

300+ concerts attended so far so at home try to create the effect..........

Next to that the more general choices of Jazz, Classical, Indie(rock) etc etc.
But you asked about the "poison".
 
I selected other. By that I mean fusion. I listen to rock, progressive, metal, blues, jazz and acoustic, but my favorite would be jazz fusion. I've been listening to it since the mid seventies. A friend turned me on to it and I was hooked.
