Other than classic heavy metal bands with very dramatic, uplifting guitar solos and muliple octave ranged lead singers, I like music with easy going melodies, such as the beatles and beach boys. I think they were the mozarts of the past century, because of the change they brought to music. There many genres that are considered rock and roll. There are many that i like.

Besides Metal, I listen to various genres such as Baroque, Classical, Medieval music. I also like jazz/ fusion, music from films (BSO) and music from video games. This helps me to have a wider repertoire to play in my recorder.

METAL, TRANCE/TECHNO, HOUSE, INDUSTRIAL and whatever system of a down is considered.

I will list the genres I do not listen to. This is easier. Country and Western, Classical (I like Bach), Jazz (I like Myles Davis and Charlie Parker), Most of the rap that is played on the radio.
