What are your favorite music genres?

Any good music(except country and rap), but favorite genres are:

Classical(Romantic and 20th century...not baroque),

Jazz(instrumental or vocal, anything but the commercial light). Favorites are Cassandra Wilson, Patricia Barber, Coltrane and Brecker.

Classic Rock, some blues, Heavy Metal(from '90s especially Metallica).

I can listen to almost everything, really no favorite for me...more of a mood thing, or....depends on what I'm doing thing.

I will say that I'm not much into most rap music, To much talking, not enough playin.
