Do you tend to like music in particular genres, or are your tastes all over the place?  What are your most and least favorite musical genres?

I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to music now (working at a record store for four years -- on and off -- helped with broadening my horizons, for sure) but I do tend to gravitate towards the guitar-bass-drums end of the spectrum. I'm a sucker for a great bassline, in particular, which is why I love the Minutemen so.

I should also note that when it comes to music, I'm much more into labels than genres -- whether those labels comprise a bit of everything (like the glory days of SST) or are mostly genre-specific (metal labels like Relapse and Hydra Head, for instance). Independent record companies are far more curatorial than their major-label counterparts, so the quality quotient is that much higher.
