I'm a big fan of EDM (or electronic dance music)
I like House and hardcore and some trance and some jungle and some breaks and some techno. Anything designed for dancing deserves my personal enjoyment.
For those of you who call all things electronic "electronica" or "techno" should see http://www.ishkur.com/music/

No he wasn't. Miles Davis was jazz, and later in his career, jazz fusion.
I chose classic rock, but there should have been many more choices and it should have been multiple choice. But you're a new poster so I'll accept it.
Ok. I concede. After looking at http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/profiles/davismiles.shtml, i realized he was jazz fusion. So is there no way to edit a poll?

@PantheraTigris2.. Sheesh, do great minds think alike or what?? 
Basically what PT2 said, and I agree about 90's and most modern music. It's not that the music is Bad, really. I'm not trying to be critical of the talent or creativity of the artists, those aspects are clearly evident. It's more personal taste; the general feeling I get when I listen to a typical 'alternative' song from the 90's as opposed to a 'new wave' song from the 80's. Compare Blondie to Nirvana or the Cars to Pearl Jam. The mood is completely different. 80's music was formulaic, often contrived and overproduced, but it almost always had an upbeat melody or rhythm that got your spirits up (even if it was Morrissey singing about his Girlfriend in a Coma
). 90's music by comparison was much more experimental, raw, and darker emotionally.
That being said, I do enjoy several modern bands that have emerged from the morass of the 90's to liven up the 00's.. No Doubt, White Stripes, Evanescence, and Michelle Branch are all quite talented in their respective styles.. and of course Metallica is the old warhorse that won't seem to die.
I've had discussions with some members of my family about this very subject ~ different tastes for different generations ~and we came up with a theory. This won't stand up to close scrutiny I'm sure, but I think it has some merits.. Music styles repeat in 30 year cycles. There are 3 decades inside each cycle and as the cycle begins anew, the style that was embraced 30 years ago returns to popularity.
This sort of makes sense if you compare the 1950's (sockhop, basic rock and roll, dowop) with the 1980's (arena rock, hair metal, new wave). It's mostly the culture behind the music rather than the music itself. Many people attribute the 1980's to blind optimism, a culture of party party party, embracing the materialism culture, etc. The 1950's were very similar to that in many ways.. One could even go back to the 1920's.. the Roaring '20's and find comparisons.
But bring the comparison forward to the 1930's, 1960's and 1990's and you see some more similarities. Music becomes less happy, more thoughtful, political, and experimental. The culture is more questioning of the government and business and less optimistic about the future. At the end of this decade a new threat rises that we were not ready for. In the 1930's, it was Hitler and Totalitarianism. In the 1960's Vietnam, and in the 1990's the war on Terror.
So if this theory holds any water, we're in the middle of a decade now that bears a lot of similarities to the 1940's and 1970's. Music is going through some big changes, completely new styles are emerging. There's a sense of a unease in the culture, will the war never end? But small bright spots appear (I think) that foreshadow the next decade.
Either all that's true or I'm just getting old and crotchety and can't stomach the new beat.
You decide.

lol @ "true punk"
Experimental / Art rock. I have a soft spot for Jazz and Blues too.
Groups:
Sonic Youth
My Bloody Valentine
Pavement
Placebo
the Jesus & Mary Chain
the Velvet Underground / Lou Reid
Among those choices, classic rock (sixties and early seventies). I grew up listening to it on an oldies station in Montgomery. Overall, though, is Christian mass choirs- especially those that sing Christian "soul" music. (Like Jackson Mass Choir or Indiana Bible College. )
Mario Feldberg
Emperor
Punk Rock (US/UK 80s - Dead Kennedys etc.)
Hardcore (US 90s - Earth Crisis etc.)

to let you all know, the site I linked to is fun and interactive, not just a boring piece of text
I've spent many many hours checking it out (because I wanted to, not because its inherintly time consuming!)
Gingerbread Man
Dark Magus
Jazz - mostly modern (e.g. early Miles Davis, before he went fusion)
Current & Classic rock (but I'm not really into the newer punk music)
'Pop' (though most of my faves have barely any/no chart successes)
Classical (late romantic/modern music, anything bizzarre is best)
Funk (Preferably the electronic type, but James Brown is still cool )
Pretty much - any music made by a self respecting artist. I generally don't listen to newer hip-hop/rap - the records sold are through image, not music. The video clips are just 3 minutes of hot babes, a couple of product placements, and a big focus on how rich you are. Pop music can be like that to a certain extent, but is less so.
To give you an idea of what I listen to, here the artists on my mp3 player:
Ben Folds
Ben Folds Five
Ben Kweller
Charlie Parker
Dizzy Gillespie
Duke Ellington
Goldfinger
Incubus
Miles Davis
Phantom Planet
Smashing Pumpkins
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Thirsty Merc
And who said 13-25 year olds had a narrow taste in music?
