Basically any music that has a soul to it and doesn't involve some tosser attempting to "sing" in a cliche metaller grunt over endless tom and snare rolls. There's other distortion types you know apart from a big muff for your predictable muted guitars so why not try using them!? Don't get me started on generic music for kids (where image is more important than the music) because i'll win the argument every time ;)
