No rap for me either, my kids have tortured my with it waaaaay too much.
I like some of the old school NWA stuff but very little of the new stuff
My music goes from Lorena McKennitt and Denez Prigent to Dethklok and Slipknot.
My first band that I really loved was back in 1978 when I saw Kiss meets phantom of the park. I was 6 but I knew then I was a metal head. Grew up listening to Sabbath, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Priest, Maiden, Alice Cooper. Then some of the hair bands got mixed in, like Cinderella, Kix, Steelheart.
Then I just branched out as I grew to appreciate the talent behind it more. I have a bit of ADD, so to me, the only important part of the lyrics is how the vocals fit to the music. Guess that's why the hardcore growlers like Dark Lunacy never bothered me.
I'm especially drawn to metal ballads though. Always was. Savatage and Helloween were favorites growing up, with Five Finger Deathpunch and In This Moment being among my go-to stuff now.
I still listen to some classic rock, dubstep, classical, industrial, metal, rock, pretty much anything I find pleasing to the ear. Although I'm not really into the hardcore rap, and not a fan of country. I like some bluegrass and some of the older country, but something about the new stuff actually triggers me if I have to hear it for more than a few minutes. Admittedly with my temper, it doesn't take much anyhow, but that's the only music that ever does.

Awesome thread!
My musical tastes are pretty broad, but I usually stay withing the realm of rock. Being a guitar player I can usually find some aspect of a song or band that I find interesting.
All time favorite band is Metallica. I've seen them live 7 times, and they never disappoint. Yes, i even like the weird Load/Reload era!
What generally calms me down varies. Sometimes it'll be The Beatles, sometimes Huey Lewis & The News, sometimes Testament.
My top 10 is a constantly changing list depending on my mood....but here's what it looks like now in no particular order:
Metallica
Tom Petty (Heartbreakers & solo)
Guns 'N 'Roses
Alice in Chains
Rolling Stones
Iron Maiden
The Misfits
Pantera
The Beatles
Jeff Beck

Happy place on white sandy beaches for sure!
My musical tastes are very catholic.
I listen to a great deal of Grateful Dead. Not because the music is relaxing or necessarily that good. What I am listening for is that microscopic tear punched in the veil. The view, albeit fleeting, is glorious.
