Hip-Hop:  No love from me what so ever.
Country:  This would have been the worst two years ago but after spending a summer playing in a country band, I can at least tolerate some country.  I don't listen to it, but I can tolerate.
Disco:  I do have a soft spot for Disco, I loved "Saturday Night Fever" as a kid, made my Dad wear out the 8-track.  Abba and The Bee Gees are still great.
Techno:  With the various electronica sub-genres included, this easily gets my vote.  At this point, I would say ten percent of my listening falls into the Techno category as it's defined here.  I especially get into trance.  I will say this, if we're including straight electronica here, the percent probably goes up to 20 percent.

There are some fantastic country influenced guitarists like Danny Gatton, but overall I'd need to go for disco because it is funnier.

both techno and hip hop take up a fair share of my listening time (more so than prog these days), with, at the moment, a preference for techno. first got into hip-hop via the east coast, jazz rap, diggin in the crates guys, when i was heavily listening to jazz and started picking up, identifying bits and piece from samples. then my tastes proliferated outwards.
i'd always liked the heavy repetition of techno; krautrock was my entry into prog. spending a month in berlin in '09 opened my eyes to dj side of the equation.

i like disco but am not well versed in what's out there. And am not very familiar with country at all.

I don't despise any genre, in particular. Metal's a challenge, but I've managed to take a liking to a few of those artists as well.

Country wins out thanks to my enduring love of the (admittedly small) alternative country/gothic americana scene featuring acts like Denver Gentlemen, 16 Horsepower, Woven Hand, Lilium, Jay Munly/Lee Lewis Harlots/Lupercalians, Slim Cessnas Auto Club, Reverend Glasseye, etc... But there isn't really a genre in here I have written off. All have their gems.

Fon... Fonky Family? You heard about the Fonky Family? ConfusedShocked I thought they were unknown outside of France!

It helps that I lived in France for a few years Wink. I'll match the best French rap against the best American rap from the 90s (I'm not too sure about contemporary French rap, I lost touch):

Stomy Bugsy - Mon papa à moi est un gangster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izstQnMbnFo
Fonky Family - La furie et la foi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQiLT1tS7dM
Saïan Supa Crew - A demie nue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmopysli49A
NTM - Laisse pas trainer ton fils: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afUd-7hKBxw
Passi - Je zappe et je mate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C0mXfPn2VQ
Fonky Family - L'amour du risque: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGvSx-foo3E
Saian Supa Crew - Darkness
IAM - L'école du micro d'argent

That's why I like Burial, and also the best stuff that's come out of the Kompakt stable. They have a kind of pop music approach to techno:

Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFoJM2tTFlY
Closer Musik - Departures: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_dmwiLCWK4
Dntel - (This is) The Dream of Evan and Chan (Kompakt Superpitcher mix): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PVorE74HfA
Jürgen Paape - So Weit Wie Noch Nie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGDmktYlMjM
Nathan Fake - The Sky was Pink (James Holden Mix): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_voht-3HKvA

Great mixes too can help break it up. My favorite mix is James Holden's Balance 005. There's 2 discs - it's the first disc that's a legend. It's like the Dark Side of the Moon of mixes. Okay, it's not even remotely close to Floyd, but the flow of it's just brilliant and amazing, from the brilliant opening track to the stunning last 20 minutes. (The entire disc 1 is actually on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MrBs6Bkwkk)

Techno for me. I don't really care at all for the others, apart from perhaps disco.

Hip-Hop's great too, in selected doses. I'm casual on it, mostly a recent interest. Death Grips are one of my favourite bands to come out in the last couple of years. I aslo really like classic stuff like Nas and Big L. Nujabes is great too.

I'm the same way; if the mood strikes me I'll put on some old Tribe Called Quest, or Kanye, or some 90s French rap that I like (Fonky Family, Saian Supa Crew, MC Solaar, NTM, IAM, Ministere Amer), or some instrumental rap such as Clams Casino and DJ Shadow.


Fon... Fonky Family? You heard about the Fonky Family? ConfusedShocked I thought they were unknown outside of France!

For me, I would rather chose rap/hip-hop, but especially oldies like Afrika Bambaata or 90's stuff like Black Sheep or De La Soul.
