QotD: On Genres

Do you tend to like music in particular genres, or are your tastes all over the place?  What are your most and least favorite musical genres?

I have pretty eclectic taste in music.  (Par examplar.)  The only genre I truly, seriously, undoubtedly hate is screamo.  Pretty much anything that screams at me.  That shit all makes me want to stab railroad spikes into my ears.  Serious.

I listen to a LOT of "boys with guitars" music.  Matt Nathanson, Blu Sanders, Griffin House, Ryan Adams, Stephen Kellogg (& the Sixers).  I guess overall I listen to mostly singer-songwriter types.  Not 'cuz I'm indie and above the law of pop culture/music, but because those guys write the songs that speak to my heart.

That said, my top five musicians/bands:

01. Matt Nathanson
02. Counting Crows
03. Lori McKenna
04. Dashboard Confessional
05. Garth Brooks

Oh, Garth Brooks.  How I love you and your crazy pop country ass.
