70's rock like Pink Floyd, Grunge, and some new stuff like Breaking Benjamin, 5FDP, and Skillet with alot of music in-between. Any type of rock, except 80's hairbands, hairbands are a no-no for me.
Here is my top 5 genres: 1. Classic Rock I've always been a huge fan of all classic rock, probably since that's what my dad listens to and I've always liked the same kind of music as my dad. 2. American Alternative Rock I emphasize the "American" because English alternative is just hard to listen to for very long, although I like Bush, and they're from the UK, and Radiohead has a few good songs. 3. Heavy Metal I like some hair bands, like Van Halen, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses and Poison, and I'm a big fan of the old stuff: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Dio and Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. 4. Punk And I mean 70s punk, like Ramones, The Police, Sex Pistols, Stooges, The Clash, Talking Heads not that third-wave crap - although the Offspring are pretty good. 5. Stadium Rock
xxsneaky, there is no "most popular type of music", people's opinions change constantly, but if one was to put it into a genre, I'd say the most popular right now in the world is pop. just because of all the little kids in the world screaming for boy bands.
Personally, I like thrash, death, speed, and power metal, but mostly speed. And some traditional rock(AC/DC, those kinds) and tradition metal.

Or alternative stuff, for some reason everyone likes that, although I think it's all wannabe crap.
