I not a massive music person but I found that I like a lot of queen songs some Robbie Williams Katie Perry and a few other songs also I found that classical music sometimes helps with my anxiety

Dislike
K-Pop, Indie, Alternative, Classical, Death Metal, Instrumental, Soul, and especially Rap

I gravitate mostly to pop and up-bet songs as I find them quite heavenly.
There are also some hit songs that hit the billboard but I only like that specific song as to compared to what generally do. A perfect example of this are Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and "Hello." Really enjoyable songs but listening to their respective albums just isn't to my liking. I'm quite old-school looking back at it now. I like it!

Whenever a thread like this comes up, I'm sitting here for hours thinking of what I consider my favorites.

Lots of surf artists like stuff from The Ventures, The Chantays, Dick Dale, and The Tornados. There are a plenty of Madonna songs I cannot get enough of and listen to constantly. No Doubt and Shontelle only have one song each that I like but they're so good that I consider them favorite artists, regardless. My brother got me into The Ramones; very catchy stuff.

A lot of modern musicians have made their way to my favorites list: I love Rihanna, The Black-Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, and Bruno Mars. I just love anyone who can produce catchy stuff that keeps me busy while I work. =)

 

[PaulTheProtist]

Interpol is just amazing. The Alan Parsons Project was a favorite of mine from a young age, and I'm a big fan of Weird Al as well. Recently, I have really been digging The Cure and Depeche Mode, and Týr and Sabaton are my favorite metal bands.

 

[The Thin White Duke]

I just found Joni Mitchell today (I bought the Blue album) and oh my god words cannot express the sheer beauty of her lyrics and music

 

[al_the_bard]

The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Kylie Minogue, Duran Duran, Phil Collins, AC/DC.
