Sad to say there isn't anything in particular that I listen to. Music was my life and my career, all I thought about for about 25 years. Now I listen to radio 4 and the only music I listen to are works I need to learn. Having said that, my ex is American and is heavily into some pretty dark American heavy rock. I do like some of that. When I listen to something, I hear the horn part (if there is one) first, then melody and harmony, then rhythmic structure and lastly (often not at all) any lyrics. Friends often tell me to listen to a "beautiful" song, then get all weird on me when I don't hear what they hear. My ears have just been conditioned to focus on different things.
It's probably safe to say that I judge all music with an open mind. (And if it's got a fun horn part I'll definitely like it

)
