for me, my style has always been a very broad liking to music. I can take everything except rap and country is my lest favorite, although i did see Reba and John Micheal Montgomery in concert, so dont hold that against me.

While i was with my wife in China, she would each day play a long set of songs that in no time I became accustomed to, of course they're chinese pop songs, but I found myself desiring to listen to these songs very often so I copied em from her computer and brought em back home and to this day I still prefer them to my usual listening pleasures...

Go figure...

Same here, I love all sorts of music.  Usually something with a good beat, something new and fresh.

Hollywood Undead

this link will probably get censored by youtube soon.

On a tamer note, I really enjoy All American Rejects as well.

A little history lesson about some the mentioned.

Iron butterfly: Although the name was changed as a joke (In the garden of Eden) whenever this song came on the radio it was common knowledge the DJ was either partying it up or having dinner.

Jimi Hendrix: I remember so well the beginnings, where his music was not played on the radio because it was deemed to loud? We had to buy his first album in was called the underground. It wasn't just one place, you had to go into the city (NYC) and ask for it. Now I laugh that I hear Jimi's music in commercials and such.  

After came Led Zeppelin and many others.

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Yes, that was the name. Who was made up from band members of....The Turtles (So Happy Together) It was always so funny to see how they went from bubble gum music to Frank Zappa's type music.

And "head bangers"? No this came later in the 80's with Punk Rock.

This is another of my fav groups. Unkle, they have done many collaborations with different artists, radiohead fans will recognise Thom Yorke singing this one. And the video is pretty surreal too!

Another Group i've always had a lot of time for, Swingout Sister the Jazz/fusion element of the music just brings out Corrines voice. Totally under rated by the many, but totally raved about by there fans. Believe me this group/band, are awesome live.....

Is there anyone out there that doesn't like Dire Straits ??...If there is, i've never met one yet!! Mark Knoppler can and does make that guitar do anything he wants it to do for him. Watched these guys live in Berlin, i have never seen a better live band anywhere, they sound as good live as in a studio. I can't think a single song from this band, that i can say i dislike. I've chosen Sultans of Swing, because it is one of there best songs. There are better versions out there, but this one will do for now ....

Dire Straits? They aren't still around are they? You want to hear a guitarist check out Alvin Lee, Ten Years After.
