While, I listen to everything from

• gangsta rap (e.g. NWA, Snoop, 2pac) to
  
• nerdcore to
  
• hip-hop (e.g. Eminem, Alicia Keys, Fugees) to
  
• crooners/chanson (e.g. Piaf, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, Aznavour, Iglesias, Whitney, Celine, Bublé) to 
  
• pop (e.g. Dalida, Cutugno, Eurovision, MJ,  Madonna, Lady Gaga) to 
  
• disco to 
  
• jazz (e.g. big band, Billie, Ella, Miles Davis, acid, bebop, nu, Jarrett, avant-garde, Johny Răducanu) to 
  
• electronica (e.g. Vangelis, Michael Crețu, Kraftwerk) to 
  
• ethnic (e.g. Romani, Eastern European, klezmer, Middle Eastern) to 
  
• new wave to 
  
• folk (e.g. Bob Dylan, Vintilă, Baniciu, Alifantis, Andrieș)
  
• rock (e.g. Stones, Elvis, Dead, Queen, Pink Floyd, U2, Phoenix) to 
  
• EDM (e.g. house, techno, trance, Deadmau5) to 
  
• musicals (e.g. Webber/Brightman) to 
  
• minimalist (e.g. Glass)
  
• opera (e.g. Callas, Caruso, Pavarotti, Carreras, Bocelli) to

some of my all-time favorites are fusion/eclectic in essence, e.g. Bad Plus, Pink Martini, classical pop/rock remixes (e.g.  Dalida disco remix), world music (e.g. Dead Can Dance), parodies (e.g. Weird Al Jankovic, Ada Milea, Ion Gyuri Pascu, Fără Zahăr).
