my favorite genre is oldies. love em, love em, love em. they're so fun.

i listen to a bit of everything. i don't actually limit myself to certain genres. if i hear something i like, then... well, i like it. for instance, i claim to really not care for techno music, but there ARE songs i definitely enjoy. for the most part i don't tend to like it much, but there are always exceptions. i'd say i mostly listen to oldies, country and pop (so... rap, techno, alternative, metal... whatever's popular at a given time).
my favorites of all time are stevie wonder, sam cooke and our lady peace.
our lady peace is the one group whose entire catalog i really enjoy. my brother actually turned me on to them after he became obsessed with them. it's a shame more people aren't familiar with them. i honestly believe they don't get anywhere near the amount of credit they deserve.
