I have such a habit of getting what ever I feel like getting with the internet nowadays, so its hard for me sometimes to understand why younger people sometimes only listen to Pink Floyd and ACDC and Aerosmith and The beatles. Maybe Van Halen. Theres just so much better stuff out there to me, or stuff i didnt know i loved. I just went through the earlier stuff from Papa Roach, who I hadn't listened to in some ten years, just because I ran across an old release of theirs after learning they were opening for Nuclear Rabbit years ago, a kind of Mr Bungle band that only released a few golden records together..
I vote for the guy above talking about Animals as Leaders and Satriani and petrucci. I'm generally a fan of technical melodic death metal, or ambient, progressive metal. I have old tastes with nu-metal and classic rock, and random elements like a one-off rap song or some good house trance.

Im not sure if i believe in someone saying theyll listen to anything, no offense. I just think eventually a song will come on the radio and theyll go, 'Ugh, please change this..' So i guess a little bit of rock. But not a little bit of country...
