Just curious.
My tastes are all over the place (there isn't a music genre that doesn't have a song or two I enjoy), but I'm mostly interested in classic rock these days. I've been on a mjor Led Zepplin kick lately. I was lucky enough to pick up I-IV, plus Presence and Coda on vinyl at a flea market for $2 each recently. I've been in heaven ever since.
I've also recently discovered Sarah Brightman (entirely different kind of music). I'm intrigued by her new "Classics" album, especially Anytime, Anywhere and Time to Say Goodbye. She basically modernizes Opera favorites by adding contemporary beats and English words. It sounds blasphamous, but her incredible voice truly makes up for it. I also gave her old cd "Dive" a listen. Very different style. Technically, it's jazz/blues, but it really defies catagorization. The entire album is based upon the theme of a sea voyage. Interesting stuff.
Other than that, my favorite musicians have always been The Beatles, Queen, Tori Amos, Radiohead, classic U2, and now Pink Floyd and Zepplin are being integrated as well.
What's everyone else enjoying?

Soulfood Music, most recently, which is meditative/new age/tribal/whatever (basically the kind of oddball thing that we've always liked). Though there's always Loreena McKennitt and the banshee known as Lisa Gerrard, a smattering of Hendrix, and when bandwidth allows I crack my brain open and let the insanity pour in from the Hour of Slack at the Subgenius Radio Network. (If you've ever encountered the Church of the Subgenius you know what to expect of it.)

Sisters of Mercy. A Great nearly metal band but not if that makes sense from the 1980's. In their own words a mixture of Elvis and Witggenstein

Ah, Slipknot and No One mainly. Mudvayne System of a Down. But, right now No One. (Yes, No One is the name of a band, and literally right now.

I haven't been listening a lot recently. Audio books in the car. Not a lot when I'm not in the car. Most of my recent listening has been classic rock of the Emerson, Lake & Palmer; Pink Floyd; Moody Blues; Yes; Jethro Tull variety. A few years ago I listened to a lot of classical music.

Many things... I can appreciate various types of music. These last few days I've been listening to Badly Drawn Boy, Herman's Hermits (they look awful, but their music is *great*), Ryan Adams, The Strokes, Yann Thiersen, Muse, Tool, Bizet's Carmen, Tom Waits, Elliott Smith, Radiohead, Everlast, Air, My MOrning Jacket, ...

I've had "The Flower Duet" from Lakme stuck in my head ever since I heard a strange R&B song on the radio which remixed it in the background. Odd.
