I like:
The Clash, Sex Pistols, INXS, White Stripes, Bob Marley,
Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Gerry Rafferty,
David Bowie, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Cure, Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie,
Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, early Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens, Jeff Buckley, Dusty Springfield, Eric Clapton, Mike Oldfield (some)
Queen (up to Kind of Magic, i´d say), Nick Cave, CCR, Tito and Tarantula,
Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, , Judas Priest,
Some Metallica, Motorhead, Marillion,...
Lordi(whatever kind of metal that is, these guys are fun!), GWAR (dito),
Apocalyptica and some others who play rock/metal with classic instruments and/or choir, it usually fits and is still different.
ZZTop(it´s kind of repetitive though),
early Meat Loaf,
Some Classic/Orchestral/Opera (there are some fine pieces of music, can do without the singing)
Some of the Fun-stuff: The King, The Boss Hoss, Weird Al Jankowicz

A pretty wide selection I think, and there is lots more.
It´s mostly a mood-thing...


I don't like:
Country and Western, apart from Johnny Cash

Rap
Beyonce and all her clones, doing their rubbish songs with no tunes
People who don't write their own songs, but just nick a backing track from an established song and put new words to it (like Mutya Buena's new single)
But(!) it made me dig out some nice old stuff.

All those Dutch/French/German faceless blokes who churn out mindless repetitive dance music, generally taking one line from an old song and just repeating it over and over and over again over a monotonous backing track.
Death metal. Blamming guitars and some bellowing arsehole who sounds like he's gagging on a mouthful of lava, and mostly in German.
