Other genres?

I have a wide range of interests like classical, some hip-hop, and jazz. Other than techno/electronica, what musical genres do you enjoy?

Gotta say, mainly techno. I do like the odd bit of trance and IDM / Drill'n'bass. I'll try anything that falls into the catergory 'electronica' which covers quite a lot I suppose. Occasionally a spot of jazz does the trick. Very occasionally I whip out the old Iron Maiden stuff (jus kiddin)

Mostly electronic stuff

Italo Disco
Depeche Mode
Basic Channel/Maurizio/Monolake/Rhythm and Sound/Pole
Electro
DFA stuff
Bobby O/Patrick Cowley/Giorgio Moroder
Nitzer Ebb (totally underated in terms of innovation - but their tunes still rock the place, great band, sorely missed)
Fixmer/Mccarthy

Also, modern classical - Glass/Nyman/Eno

New Order/The Smiths/Talking Heads etc

although i lean more towards the electronic side, i think the older i get the more wider my taste gets.. so that i don't like / dislike any one style, if i like something i like it regardless! this week i have mostly been listening to: the beatles (revolver), radiohead (hail to the thief), eels (daisies of the galaxy), flaming lips (yoshimi battles the pink robots - IMO one of the best albums made by anyone ever), moby (hotel), soul coughing (irresistible bliss), james zabiela (essential mix).

nice to see nitzer ebb getting a mention

Basically anything that challenges the way people make and hear sounds that changes the taxonomy of "music".

I like the invention of sounds that comes from jazz and swing bands of the 40's. I like the mathwork of patterns that came out of [/i]Kraftwerk's[/i] first several records an that of Phillip Glass' rock band, Polyrock. I like the aggressive sound that came from Public Enemy. And I like the theories of sound and interuption that glitch and IDM music makers like Mouse on Mars and Squarepusher explore as a way to edge music towards a climax.

But don't get me wrong, I still love the power and pound that can come from guitars and drums as well as the compassion and passion that can come from the human voice.
