I like all music, as long as it's good quality. I used not like jazz and techno and dance and some others but I learnt to appreciate them and now, the ones that are good quality I can enjoy (fatboy slim is quality electronic and so is Josh Abrahams, Nocholai Rimsky-Korsakov is by far the best classical composer)

What I really hate is the new-age, so-called easy listening "music" that is really just some whale songs with a beat or the sound of a river with some panpipes.
They've ruined what are both beautiful sounds by combining them in an unsympathetic way. It's like beethoven interrupted by a lawnmower.
