I'll listen to almost anything at least once. The only genre I actively avoid is current country. If I had to pick in genre, it would be early 2000's emo.
The most recent album I listened to all the way through was Wellerman - The Album by Nathan Evans. Put on Wellerman, the song, for my son. Ended up liking the whole album.
My most listened albums are probably a toss-up between Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (My Chemical Romance), College Dropout (Kanye), Deloused in the Comatorium (The Mars Volta), or Toxicity (System of a Down).
Amd according to my "Your Spotify" instance, my most listened artist of the last year was Alt-J.
I tend to hyperfixate though, so I'll listen to the same album/genre for weeks/months, then not listen to it at all for months while I listen to something else.
Also, for anyone that selfhosts and uses Spotify, Your Spotify is nice to have for threads like this.
Only happy hardcore

Highly recommend the Piano Guys. They mix classical music with modern hits.
I personally like chiptunes and 80s rock
I like Funk and Soul and Techno and Rock and Classic Hip Hop and the best from the 60s to the 80s. I guess i just love good Music
Mostly extreme metal, moreso since going back to college, but I also like post-rock, shoegaze, and classical amongst other things. Try this out for size.
two of my very favorite genres are future garage and atmospheric black metal, but i'm a melomaniac and listen to a ton of genres
Right now I'm really into indie/alternative with some funk and rock in there. My favorite band of all time is Her's.
Inner Wave, Jack Stauber, Pink Floyd, Binki, Bakar.
All amazing artists and all of Her's songs are amazing
Drake, 90s rap, classic rock and Tame Impala.
Midwest emo... Camping in Alaska, caving, cap'n jazz, American football etc. Highly recommend caving if you're into that sort of stuff, hands down the most underrated artist I've ever seen.
Folk drum and bass (e.g. monster ceilidh band)
Right now: Steely Dan’s album „Aja“
...Is Taylor Swift a genre?
But seriously, my music taste is pretty much her. Otherwise I like alt rock, rock (not too heavy though), ballads, pop that has good lyrics and a decent hook, and any song I hear that has guitars I like 25% more than those that don't.
Ambient, electronica, Post punk, emo and goth stuff, synthwave, sludge / stoner metal, industrial, and folk music.
My favorites over the years were
I don't know why, but I also gravitate to girl guitar bands. Especially if they sing in harmony. Instant goosebumps!
I’m into everything tbh.
Lately I’ve been getting into the following:
Teenage Fanclub (song is The Concept)
The Lemon Twigs (song is In My Head)
Tainy (song is FANTASMA | AVC)
Duster (song is Constellations)
I guess that’s mostly alt-rock, slacker rock type stuff. Except Tainy… But damn DATA is fucking good man.
Synthpop, new wave, dark wave, cold wave, minimal wave, post-punk, goth rock....
...but like synthpop more than anything else. I gotta have those hooks. <3

Happy to listen to lots of stuff though. Some others that come to mind right away: Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Moist, Technotronic, early Skinny Puppy, Gunship, Luis Ake...
Everything except jazz (because I can't find the rhythm, which is the point I guess).
I Hear you. I hate jazz. All jazz. It's just revolting to me. I'm such a wierdo.
Depends on the jazz - plenty rhythm in some jazz, check out Lee Morgan's Sidewinder for instance :-)
