I think rock is well established here, so hows about something for us minorities, eh?

What do you listen on a regular basis that isn't rock (that includes everything from Greenday to AC/DC to Slipknot)?

Personally, I listen to Sasha Lazard a whole lot.  It's like opera (the interesting kind) with some dance beats thrown in.  Though it's much better than any of Emma Shapplin's stuff.  I also listen to the Ahn Trio a bit.  It's classical, but it doesn't drone on for hours like a lot of classical does.

I also listen to t.A.T.u. and Puffy AmiYumi to subdue the pop lover in me.

I think I have a very diverse taste in music actually. The only "form" of music I can't stand is Rap/Hip Hop/R&B. It just gets to me.

The main leaders though are a lot of classical, bluegrass, and big band.

I dunno...I can listen to anything if I like how it sounds

Yes, so can I, but do reread the proposed question.

I listen to stuff like Ludacris and The Dave Drubeck Quartet, but when I fire up Windows Media Player, the mouse is much more inclinded to wander off towards t.A.T.u. then say, Ai Otsuka.

I don't know what class I'd put Tom Lehrer in, but I listen to his stuff a fair bit.

What the...? someone under 30 who likes Tom Lehrer? I need to sit down...
You have excellent taste. His songs are funny as hell- and timeless.
I guess you could call his stuff "comedy" or "satire", but those aren't really musical categories. "Pop", maybe.

My tastes are diverse,
Classical, Opera , Rock, Some Pop, 60's 70's 80's but no 90's and Rap.

Nemo.... *starts singing again*

Because I own, and play so many different musical instruments, I love listening to, and playing Medieval and Renaissance music, on my Lute, Viols, Guitars,  Recorders, Flutes, Harpsichord, etc, just for something different... ...!

You then realise where our Western music style/scale comes from... ...!

Reading is good.  It might even come in handy sometimes!  Go figure...

...it's a funny thing...

But after a rendering by John Dowland, Henry Purcell, J.S Bach, Mozart, G.F Handel, etc...etc...

I find that I can't resist a bit of ear-bending "Green Day" every now and again... ... ...!
Love it...!

Paul... ...!

The different stuff

Now here is something a tad-bit dangerous to say...I listen to David Allen Coe...old country-singer who was a bit too racist....but hey...songs are funny as hell and alot of them are perverted...
In case your wondering where I got such obscene music from, blame my friends Grand-father who listens to the CD 24/7

Yeah i know, i dont have a different taste, as i posted that..  ;)
