Very varied.

From Andrea Bocelli
to Lady Ga Ga.

I like

Coldplay
U2
Adele
David Gray
Bob Dylan
The Eagles
Eva Cassidy
Shirley Bassey
Ennio Morricone
I was going to list them all but too many to mention.

I don't like

Heavy Metal
Rap
Punk
Hip Hop
Nearly all the stuff in the charts.

I grew up with the likes of Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple and jimi Hendrix so its perhaps not surprising that even now I love Rock,metal and Indie above all. I especially like Female Fronted Rock and metal like within Temptation,Delain, Lacuna Coil and Nightwish.

Dislikes? Well I loath and despise all the bland manufactured pop in the charts that passes for music.I feel sorry for kids these days who are force fed this dross,in my day we had much greater variety in music,but today it seems record companies are only interested in money and churning out the same fromula again and again.With the stranglehold they have on the mass media other forms of music are marginalised and have become minority interests.
Rap I don't really consider qualifies as music at all,just talking in a silly voice no-one can understand.

I'm mainly into:

Drum & Bass
Dubstep
UK Garage
Metal
Rock

I also despise 99% of the music in the charts today. I find it to be dull, formulaic and soulless. Nothing irritates me more than people who only listen to the music that the mainstream media tell them to listen to.

I like :

Lacuna Coil
Within temptation
nightwish
epica
metalica
madonna
Jean michel jarre
korn
disturbed
thin lizzy
the rolling stones
the who
the red hot chilli peppers
tool
a perfect circle
paramore
plus many more

i hate with a vengeance any chart music

I don't even know where to start with music. I absoltely love music, but I hate so much of it these days. I generally try and no listen to the radio these days, that way music in general is always more enjoyable.

I love indie, rock and accoustic types of music. I grew up thanks to my older brother listening to punk/ska as an influence. I then moved on to rave music, listening to hardcore, old skool, techno and drum and bass. I also listened to a lot of indie bands at this time, Pulp, Oasis, Blur, Stereophonics, Ocean Colour scene. etc

I then got into rock/metal and also live acoustic type music.

I like reggae, jazz, blues and also world music. SO much music. Not enough exposure for real raw talent.

I love listening to Bands , mostly rock and that genre i hate all chart music and talentless fakes who are used to sell the 'BRAND'. my favourite band is

30 Seconds to mars!

metallica, slayer, pantera, disturbed, ac/dc, iron maiden, slipknot, fear factory, anthrax, megadeth, suicidal tendencies, cypress hill, house of pain, limp bizkit, korn, system of a down.

I think chart music is getting lumped in with teenybopper pop and the likes of Katy Perry and Bieber. Pretty sure Adele, Coldplay, 30stm are all chart music. If it sounds good to me than great. I like all kinds of music as well. From Amon Duul to Warren Zevon. However I'll kindly pass on Contemporary R&B, that teen shit mentioned earlier and Country(the twangy stereotypical "lets get drunk in our pickup" stuff)

My taste is really quite eclectic:The Doors/Hendrix/Big Pun/Al Green/Burning Spear/Vybz Kartel/Prodigy,to name but a few.
