I'm an audiophilliac...
I listen to pretty much everything...from the obscure to the cheesiest songs you can think of.
When I go to a record store I head to the used jazz section first.
Jazz, Indie rock/pop, downtempo/electronic, hip hop, motown, anything with a good beat or a catchy tune to sing to.
I hate pop-punk bands, death metal, whiny emo, or jam band songs with lyrics
