I like both kinds of music. Country AND Western.

I like various styles of music.  However my main musical interest is Hip Hop.  Specifically I enjoy the 90's and early 00's west coast style (Dr. Dre related music), and I enjoy 90's stye East Coast like Wu Tang, Nas, etc.  I also am a fan of the lesser known underground style artists like Jedi Mind Tricks, RA the Rugged Man, and Canibus.  

I usually listen to music only in the car, and most of the time I am with my son who is 5 so I don't even really listen to much hip hop anymore though.  So I am usually listening to the rock station now mainly.  My son does love Will Smith's music and that is age appropriate so I think I have listened to his greatest hits album more than anything I have ever listened to in my life because he is obsessed with it.  I don't know how much more Fresh Prince I can handle.  

I also love Nu-Metal for better or worse.  Nobody seems to actually like this music, and is often ridiculed.  But I love the sound of it.  

I also enjoy newer metal as well.  You mentioned Five Finger Death punch so whatever that genre is I like that as well.  

There is also something about 80s pop music that I like.  That 80s movie montage type music.  

I think I can pretty much find something in any genre that I will end up liking somewhat.  

Recently my preferred music is:

• Motorhead
• Johnny Cash
• Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
• KIX
• Megadeth
• Merle Haggard
• The Sweet
• Black Sabbath

I listen to so much more than metal too. I am a big fan of 70s and 80s country music as well as 80s music in general. There are a few modern country guys I enjoy (Chris Staleton, Jamey Johnson, Cory Marks)

I have lots of musical tastes I'm all over the place. Mostly though I like Classic Rock, Rock that follows the style of Classic Rock and some Pop Rock. 

All Time Faves Musical Artists include: Pat Benatar, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Harry Chapin, The Bangles, Kate Bush, Queen and a few others.

Back in the late 1980s when I was making a bunch of mix tapes, before I had a second turntable and mixer to make smooth segues I had to do the pause thing, One of my favorite segues I did was going from "Gee Officer Krupke" from the musical "West Side Story" to Madonna's "Material Girl". I got it perfectly so that the opening drum beat from "Material Girl" cames right after the final singing/shouting lyrics "Krup You!" It is pretty impressive for using the pause technique instead of real segue mixing.
