I'm curious to know, and I want to get this off my chest because I have this strange compulsion to tell the world about my music preferences.

You can either describe it and/or post youtube videos as an example. As for me:

I'm very instrumental and I taught myself how to compose. Music has also been a major source of inspiration for my fanfics, believe it or not.

Here are some of my favorites. Can someone put my style in words? I don't think it's tangible enough for me to describe.

Does, "anything that sounds good" or, "has a good beat" count as a style?

My favorite genres are mostly anything that stay similar to rock and roll. I listen to a lot of grunge, particularly Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, but I also listen to stuff like AC/DC which is completely rock and Queen which is sort of glam and hard rock at the same time. I top it off with a bit of indie hipster ****, but the only hipster band I really got into was Arctic Monkeys.

I tend to listen to things that are catchy - I like good drumming that I can get into, and memorable riffs. I don't listen to a wide variety of music, but so far I've found 3 bands that serve those needs: System of a Down, Avenged Sevenfold, and f(x).

I generally tend to prefer rock music, though I do love electronic stuff as well. I love it when a band incorporates brass instruments in their music as well. Oh, and when they use violins/cellos too. That is sick.

Most of the music I listin to is rock.

I really like rock, punk, classic rock, classical, Irish music, and electronic. I listen to a little bit of everything really, though. Besides country of course (no offense to those who do).

I listen to gospel because my mom always listen to gospel. Since my mom won't let me listen anything else, I escape from it by listening to VGM.

I'm the listening type.
If you are talking about genre of music-style, I'm more of the punk rock kind've girl.

I hear mostly Drum 'n' Bass and the Electronica-stuff.But I listen to the old ´´Deutsche Welle´´ too (FYI: Nena's 99 Luftballons should explain).

I like most any music except for stuff with excessive screaming and heavy metal.

rock, metal, alternative, and classic can i say that much?

I don't know much about all the different genres out there, but my favourite ones are pop, rock and R&B, including many of their divisions (teen pop, country pop, alternative rock, etc). I like to listen to new styles of music as long as the song has lyrics, a good beat and a catchy chorus/emotional message. And the one thing I absolutely cannot stand? Rap. I seriously don't like it nor do I like how mainstream it has become, so for me rap songs are ALWAYS a skip.

I am a huge fan of New Wave from the late 70's and early 80's. The B-52's, Lene Lovich, and Blondie all rank rather highly for me.

I have a weird variety of favorite music.

I have classical music, video game soundtracks (and parodies like Brentalfloss), and soundtracks from musicals. I'm very weird when it comes to music. At least in my perspective; I'm sure there are other people with wierder tastes in music.
