What are your favorite music genres?
If you have question about your genre, ask and I will point you in the right direction.

I'm guessing you intentionally left off classical and jazz as that is almost a given on this site. Even still it was interesting to pair down to only 10 choices for favorite genres. I kept thinking, "But what about this band I enjoy?".

Fixed. I had it listed, I had to shuffle some things (cut and paste), and they got accidently omitted.

I could not place my vote, there is no Prog Rock, Symphonic Rock, Krautrock, Ambient music, smooth jazz and other genres of hi quality music.

Actually, the big money came into the pop/rock music industry in the mid-70's due to the super success of the big groups especially Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. I noticed a big decline in musicianship through the mid -80's. So I basically tell people that I don't listen to music made after 1983 - with a very few exceptions.

I am trying to simplify the music choices. I can't have 100s of choices. Vote as best as you can, ask if you are not sure, and I will add if I missed something.

You guys can adjust your vote for now.

I am somewhat genre agnostic.
For me, before genre, comes certain attributes I love in music.
Meaning, I love certain attributes in music, and as long as all or most of those attributes are met, the genre is almost unimportant. And, it's not like I made a conscious decision to only like music with those attributes, it's just that I found myself, over time, being more and more bored by music without those attributes, or with attributes I don't care about.
Those attributes are (no particular order):
Very high levels of musicianship, complexity, deep and broad range of emotional and/or intellectual content conveyed, (usually) long form musical structure to allow development and variations, avoidance of verse>chorus>bridge>repeat song structure, no need for 'hooks' or easy to sing alone with.
The genres that most often have the attributes I love, and avoids the ones I don't care about, are:
Prog - including the subgenres of: avant-prog, classic prog, Canterbury, Zeuhl, prog-metal.
Jazz - including: fusion, post bop, avant-garde, chamber-jazz, M-Base, and free jazz.
Classical - serial, atonal, modernism, spectralism, 12 tone, new complexity, avant-garde. Most of the classical I listen to is from after 1950 up through the present era. I do not like tonal, "common practice" classical music. I only tend to like the "thorny", angular sounding stuff.
Country, mainstream rock, pop, hip-hop, blues, R&B, Rap, etc, hold no interest for me.
Although, I have a growing interest in bluegrass, because much of it does seem to have many of the attributes I like. As well as Indian classical. I just haven't had time to take a deep dive, since the other genres I listen to continually have new stuff to discover.
