I'd say I'm with Flint on this one. I like good and interesting, or well-crafted examples of pretty much any genre. Most of what I hear is either through my Brother and the girls, or the music that's chosen to play over the coming soon on radio or tv. I don't often go looking for music it's just around. When i do go looking for something it becomes an obsession and I usually end up wikiing the artists and genre.

For deliberate listening I usually head for something instrumental rather than lyrical. I'm very into how music is used on tv and in radio. I particularly am interested in the use of leitmotif and that tends to lead me into acquiring series theme albums (such as the BSG albums by Bear McCreary).

I rarely hear music I don't like. Most things that happen across my path are good, or interesting, or both. Maybe it's brave, or audacious. Anything that doesn't sound cynical about itself.
