I hate pop. Can't really think of any pop artist that would make my list unless you count the new Collective Soul song.

I don't own any country cds but I'm not adverse to listeing to it. One of my favorite artists, Ryan Adams is considered Alt Country so I guess that's as close as I'll get to that genre. Although I do enjoy Keith Urban's stuff.

I do like funk, I'm not ashamed to admit it. Earth Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang and newer stuff with a funky vibe like G Love.
I also enjoyed the 80's hairbands just like Tina. Hey, I grew up in the 80's it was fun music back then. And a little heavy metal too, Judas Priest was once my favorite band along with Iron Maiden and I used to really dig Metallica.

R and B really isn't my thing but that is probably because I'm not really exposed to it much these days. I like the old school stuff like Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye though.

And my guilty pleasure is Jimmy Buffet. LOVE his music.

It's funny though when I think about it. I used to love SO many different bands and they have all either gone away or just started sucking. It almost seems like I hardly have any favorites anymore. I think my favorite genre right now is the singer/songwriter one. I hear a new song that I like on my Sirius radio almost every day by a singer/songwriter. I haven't had a chance to buy many of their cds but I'm working on it. I also find that I really enjoy a lot of Indie bands. I think that may be the best place to find really great music these days and there are so many bands out there to hear!
