Alright, let's just split things up into categories:

SKA - great stuff, until bands go mainstream

Punk - same as SKA

Techno - Can't get enough of the stuff. Sound great with subwoofers. While it has a very basic musical structure that for the most part repeats itself every 4 measures, I think you can admire this simplicity. Also trains people's ears to listen to multiple parts of a song - the reason why a lot of people don't like Classical.

Rock - Depends on if its real rock or not. Creed, Aerosmith, anything that has a musical backing is good in my book.

Christian - Sorry folks, just not my style

Jazz/Blues - Love it. Listen to Armstrong all the time, along with the other greats

Latin - Pretty good stuff, but slim in my collection

Rap - I have some, and enjoy it, but I don't consider it to be the best stuff on earth.

Classical - Wonderful, although I think that some people give it too much praise. Sorry folks, its not the epidomy of music that you wish it was.

Country - No. Plain and simple. I don't care how big your truck is.

Boy bands/Pop music - Scum of the earth. Definition of bandwagoning mentality. People will think you're cool if you listen to it. Real people will think you're mindless. It really makes me sad to see just how popular these people are. Can't blame the one Backstreet Boy who went into rehab though. If I were one of them, I'd drink heavily too! (sorry, had to put that in there...)

Swing - good stuff. Lots of fun to dance and to listen to.

80's - Really varies. Depends on my mood. Fun at times, flat out annoying at others.

Well, I think that about does it. Sorry for the long post, but as you can see, I have some pretty strong feelings towards music. I don't think that I left out any category.
