You had about eighty forms of "metal" music and not classic rock...geez.

With only 7 voters so far, my one vote for Classical scored a whopping 12+ %. Now that's something for a minority taste.
Yes, I have to add support to the voice suggesting bias in the categories listed. One could really have classical split up into:
Opera
Vocal
Choral
Instrumental
Chamber
etc.
edit: figure corrected!

Yes it was necessary. Espacially in that there are more than a few different types of metal. For example...Both Slayer & Poison are considered metal. But that's where the association stops. Slayer is a band the sings about real issues, while Poison smears on make up, dresses up like a bunch of trashy wh0res, and sings about stupid sh1t that has no viable content beyond jibberish whatsoever. Aside from the fact that he left out Christian Metal, so actually there could've been FIVE distinct metal categories to choose from. I'm especially grateful that Mikoyan ditinguished between old school and new metal.

It is my considered opinion that the best metal band in the history of the world is a band consisting of three members from Texas & one from Lousiana. And that band is PanterA . I've seen them live five times (twice this year alone), among (give or take) 40 other concerts in my life. And they are without a doubt the most kick-ass high energy act in circulation at this time or any other. Pantera IS the greatest show on earth!

And what's the difference between rap and hip hop?

Yay, Classical = 22% - not too much of a minority so far?

No really, what is the difference between rap and hip hop? 
Honestly, they seem the same (at least to this unaware soul), is there someone more knowlegeable in the subject who can enlighten me and apparently, rmshape?
And yes, 20% is quite decent for classical, we will see what the ultimate preferences of civfanatics are.
Yes, I also despise pop, mainly because of the demographic group they seem to cater to.
So irritating...

What in heaven's name is "Poodle rock"?!?!
Although the delineations in the types of metal are arguably necessary, it does take up a lot of space for the other forms, including as was said before, 'classic rock'. Does folk come under folklore? Does Irish/Celtic?
This is a topic that does not lend itself to easy partitions, except in the most broad terms.
And there is a difference between rap and hiphop. Just try and find Mr T's recording "Rapping" (real, real bad stuff from the 80s) and compare it to something from a present hip hop group. But it can appear similar to begin with, to the uninitiated.
I can't bring myself to vote for a single option, save Other, and steal the words from Slowwhand, and label my preference as "Eclectic" -swing, jazz, classic rock, modern rock, ballads, folk, early metal, all the varities of classical (with priority to Wagner, and to a lesser extent Enrico Morricone), military marches from the first half of the 20th century.
Oh, and we have both types of music here, country and western

Why did'nt you classical rock fans vote for 'rockabilly'?
It's just about the same stuff! And there were other options i sadly left out, such as: R&B, Soul, Jazz, Acid and Goth Rock, but whaddaya gonna do? And also by folklore i mean folk music, for example Andean and Scottish/Irish folk music.

Yes, Led Zepplin, Hendrix, the Stones, the Beatles - they are all just about the same as Hank Williams, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Horton and every other rockabilly country artist.
What drivel! But you are young, silly and Swedish, so you must be given some understanding...
Just go wash your mouth out with turpentine and don't say that again.

I dont count Led Zep, Hendrix and the Doors 'Classic Rock'...
Classic rock is Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis...
I just did'nt know how to class the Doors and hendrix.. They're just way too good to be 'classed' as anything, but Zeppelin sure as hell sounds like poodle rock to me.

That makes slightly more sense, although many people would still argue with it. What stage of Elvis, for example. It is a contentious topic that could go on and on.
BTW, WTH is poodle rock?

i´m listening to velvet underground right know and i don´t know where i should put them...
however, i still don´t really understand why metal is categoriaized into 4 different factions when techno for example just is one. problary because mikoyan listen to a lot of metal... i what´s the different between rap and hip hop. isn´t hip hop rap, scratch, break dance and graffiti? bomfunk mc... pfft. and primal scream can´t be put into just one genre.

one more vote for classical.
I like mostly any music, if it sounds pleasing to my ear ;p
That said, classical music is by far the most not-annoying tone of sound, which I could probably find in this world of ours. It is very flexible. I could listen for a long time or for short intervals and still have the music stimulative to the nerves. And like all music, it is full of meaning which cannot possibility be put into descriptive forms words.
few favs:
Gould- Bach Goldberg Variations
Beethoven 5th Piano Concerto
Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
