Because I am curious. :3
I personally like most genres and try to stay pretty eclectic in what I listen to in regards to both genre and age of the music, although I really enjoy rock (alternative, grunge, metal, and classic mostly), dubstep/drum and bass, and dance/techno/house.
I enjoy bands/artists like Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Skrillex, Glitch Mob, The Fray, AC/DC, Lady Gaga (STFU I know what it looks like), Bowling For Soup, Pink Floyd, Rush and many others.
How about you guys?

Pretty much similar very eclectic and varied. If I were to pick out a genre though, it would have to be Dubstep. None of this of this slow polyrythm rubbish though; rib rattling Moshpit style dubstep, like 'Cookie Monsta - Riot' or 'Doctor P - Keep on Dancing'
Other than Dubstep, I love The Script, and indie rock bands like Spector and The Vaccines. By and large I'm not a huge rock fan, though I do like some songs by YMA6. I also love maximalism. It's a really ULTRA hipster genre of electronic music, the best tracks being 'Surph' by Rustie and 'Afterburn' by Bobby Tank.

Consider yourselves lucky, because I am in A MoodTM and so I am going to share with you the song I have adopted as my life's theme.
but I really don't have a genre that I prefer or whatever. I don't get all lubed up over any particular band, and I don't even own a radio so I generally get left out of the loop music-wise.

I listen to all sorts of music, but my favorite genres would have to be dubstep (Doctor P, Liquid Stranger, etc.) & "epic" orchestral (Two Steps from Hell, E.S. Posthumus, etc.), for lack of a better term. You can guess how I felt when I found a song that combined these two.

Genre-wise, I'd say my taste in music is mostly punk/alternative, with a healthy dose of pop music mixed in. Overall, though, there's plenty of things I like from many genres. I don't know how else to properly describe it, though >.>

I enjoy electronic dance mix styled stuff, ranging from house to dubstep to drum&bass to techno, and I've found myself drifting this way for some time. I've really started to enjoy electronica that has really powerful and or elegant vocals. I also enjoy different, but not all, forms of rock, usually Grunge, Alternative, 90's Pop-Rock, J-Rock, J-Pop, K-Pop, early 2000's Pop-Rock, Punk, Ska, and Metal, as well as some Screamo, some Numetal and some Experimental. I used to be more into Classic Rock, but I feel too boxed in with my options in that category and although some of it was groundbreaking, a lot of it is worn out to me. I occasionally enjoy Rap, as long as it's Angry Rap and not Braggy-Egotistical Rap. I suppose my selection is a bit bipolar, I guess it just depends what I'm feeling. I haven't seen anything in this thread that I couldn't enjoy at least a little bit, so that's pretty cool. Pretty much enjoy anything other than Country. If I had to name a handful of random artists, they would be Mindless Self Indulgence, No Doubt, Blink 182, The Used, My Chemical Romance, Coheed and Cambria, Panic! at the Disco, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Deadmau5, LMFAO, Skrillex, Ellie Goulding, Busta Rhymes, Method Man, MC Chris, Bring Me The Horizon, Less than Jake, Boris, Sunn 0)), Goatsnake, Detklok, White Stripes, Jack White, Raconteurs, Blur, The Vines, The Cure, Moby, Beck, Metric, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, Nine Inch Nails, Powerman 5000, White Zombie, Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Big Bang, G-Dragon, 7, Gazette, Hide, Yoko Kanno, Dir En Grey, Maximum the Hormone, and The Pillows.

For some reason, lately I find my tastes in music largely syncing up with my grandparents' tastes in music. Classical, jazz & lots of really old rock/Motown/whatever else was popular in the 50's/early 60's. The last one especially, as I've managed to collect a few hundred songs on my ipod from the Drifters, the Temptations, Buddy Holly, Del Shannon, the Supremes, the Four Tops, Elvis Presley, the Beatles' earlier stuff, &c, &c.
Then there's always those Toonami soundtracks I've got, which I could listen to three or four times a day and never be tired of.
Oh, and J-Pop. And anime soundtracks. Mostly stuff from Nana Mizuki and Yuki Kajiura because of Nanoha and Pandora Hearts. The Big O has an amazing soundtrack as well. Rozen Maiden, too, though I really like the guitar versions of the music here, possibly more than the originals.
I'll still listen to some classic rock from time to time, but not that much, considering it used to be all I listened to. But sometimes you've just gotta throw on some Hendrix and rock out.

Anything except rap, and I will listen to rap on occasion and kind of slip into the mood for it. So, anything at all actually.
My absolute favorite band of all time is Pink Floyd, enough to make me want to go back in time to a concert. My mp3 contains a mixture of things. I kind of just hear a song I like, then get the song and put it on my mp3. So my mp3 ends of having only one song from a single band instead of the whole album unless I like all the songs on the album.
My favorite genres would be, in no particular order: psychedelic, rock ranging from light to heavy, light metal (not a big fan of screamo because I don't understand what they're saying half the time), gothic, classical, instrumental, nature sounds + instrumental, zen, experimental, and a bit of dubstep and techno.

That's pretty much how I am too. I'll rent CDs from the library to rip songs I like off of them, but otherwise I won't own the full album. I have a very small CD collection and most of them are mix-CDs I made.

Not really a genre, but it's come to my attention that I tend to fancy songs with female vocalists.

I'm a guy who mostly listens to metal, but I just love blues and 60's rock too. My all time favorite bands are The Doors and Black Sabbath.
I've also recently been listening a lot to Hugh Laurie, you know that guy who plays house, and his interpretations of old blues songs are just, well I don't have the vocabulary to describe it. x)

Figured I'd start in the music part of the forum and work my way towards other topics as I get to know the forum a bit more, even though I've been lurking here for about a month..

Not normally big on Skrillex, but the drop on this is something else. Can't find a youtube link now, so it's Hey Sexy Lady (Skrillex Remix) by iSquare.

I listen to pretty much everything, apart from country. Lately I've been big on Pendulum, and the genres that I most listen to would be rock, Trock and pop-rock bands like Panic! At The Disco.
